When he goes in and looks as though he is about to have a coronary and they know they have contributed they are in a difficult position.

I'm not defending him, but they put themselves in a very awkward position by manipulating a whole series of events designed to wind him up.

I don't think they did what they did because they like him or favour him, more that they realised they'd gone too far.

Just my opinion.

Agreed.
