Understandable though. If I had to look at a Jets player ever single day I'd want to throw punches too...

Newcastle Jets team-mates Mark Birighitti and Taylor Regan have been involved in a training ground bust-up on Monday.
Tensions flared between the goalkeeper and Regan during training at Ray Watt Oval with team-mates forced to separate them.
Regan appeared to have come off second best sporting a split left eye with blood streaming down his face as he left the field.
It is not known what caused the outburst between the two.
The two players met with club officials after training and chief executive Robbie Middleby said they have put the incident behind them to focus on Saturday's F3 derby against the Central Coast.
"You want your players to have a competitive nature and show passion on the field because that's a key ingredient for success in any sport," Middleby said in a statement.
"However, it's important they don't cross the line and let their emotions get the better of them.
"As a club, we've spoken to both Mark and Taylor about the incident and have dealt with the matter internally."
They sit just a point outside the top six with only five games remaining before the play-offs after beating Melbourne Heart on the weekend to keep their A-League finals hopes alive
