Iriekpen - who himself was booked for his part in the altercation - does not believe that the Robins manager should have been sent off and has urged the FA to be lenient towards him.
He told Bristol City's official website: "I didn't really think it merited a sending-off and I hope that's the end of the matter.
"He's a passionate guy who lives and breathes the game. It's not something you see everyday though - a manager flying onto the pitch to make a half-decent tackle."
