Leicester City manager Nigel Pearson refused to be drawn into the row over Swansea manager Garry Monk's controversial comments over referees.
Monk faces a touchline ban ahead of Saturday's clash with City at the Liberty Stadium after being asked by the FA to explain his comments after the referee awarded a controversial penalty to Stoke last weekend.
Monk accused Victor Moses of diving, called him a cheat and said he had cheated the referee, who had in turn cheated Swansea with the decision.
Monk also said he had sent a letter to Mike Riley, the referee's chief, detailing his concerns over the number of decisions that had gone against his side this season.
Under Premier League rules, managers are not allowed to discuss referees or anything to do with the officiating ahead of a game, and Pearson said he did not want to add more pressure on referees.
"It would be ill-advised of me to speculate as to potential refereeing of our game," he said.
"What I would say is the standard of refereeing we feel has been pretty high.
"There is no doubt that throughout a course of a season there will be decisions go for you and against you.
"It can be very frustrating and, in the heat of the moment, I have been guilty of it myself, of making comments that possibly with a bit more thought I might not make.
"That is the nature of the industry we work in. It is an emotional game and, even though I come across as being a bit dour, I can get emotional sometimes.
"I wouldn't dream of advising other managers. It is not my place to do that. I wouldn't think Garry would want my advice on anything.
"He is the manager of Swansea and deserves the right to manage there, and he will manage in his own style."
When asked if Monk's comments had put more pressure on referee Mike Jones tomorrow, Pearson said: "If I answer that question in the way you may have expected, that just puts a different angle on more pressure for people officiating.
"I think they are under enough pressure as it is.
"The arguments about technology will keep resurfacing until we give the officials the tools to do the job as efficiently as possible."
