I think Gradel had been injured a couple of minutes earlier. He went on one of 
his runs down the right but took a bad touch and knocked it too far ahead of 
himeslf as he cut into the box. He then had to over-stretch and was injured in 
the challenge with the defender.
 
Gradel stayed down for a minute or so, then got up and hobbled back upfield, 
but broke into a run to try to join in the attack as Beckford came through for 
the disallowed 'goal'.
 
So possibly Jones shouted at Gradel because he thought Max had been 
exaggerating the injury, as he had started running just as Leeds broke through 
with another chance to score. Or possibly Jones and/or Max were angry about the 
challenge that led to Max being injured in the first place.

Agree with you on the first point Jezza. Looked like a good goal to me.

On the second point, again, not excusing his behaviour, but when
remonstrating with the ref, he seemed to be pointing at his leg. Then
eventually was limping when he went off. When seen later, his left leg was
covered groin to foot in a bandage. My guess is he was retaliating for a
similar offence committed against him.
