BLUES boss Paul Sturrock insisted he never even considered taking Bilel Mohsni off at Torquay United on Saturday.

The fiery Frenchman was booked on the stroke of half-time for lashing out at Joe Oastler.

But Sturrock did not come close to substituting the winger.

“Bilel was causing them problems and I didn’t think about taking him off,” said Sturrock.

“However, I did make sure he spent most of the second half over near me in front of the stand where there weren’t any fans!”
