that's not quite true, they were both given conditional clearances and both of them had to wait on the same ryanair plane to park up on stand 125. If you look up dublin chart, you will see that technically BA should have been clear of conflict sooner than stobart and begin his push before him, but for some reason he didn't push. Once Stobart was cleared from conflict, it started pushing and our BA chap got upset for no reason whatsoever. It wouldn't have affected safety as the point Bravo is before point Charlie and once the push would have finished, It wouldn't have affected BA in any way..
also please keep in mind that we have a recording that's edited and originating from liveatc which hosts some 5-6 frequencies on the same feed. It's more than likely that we don't have a full conversation here, so making any sort of conclusions based on this alone is a bit silly
