Allardyce's anger was prompted by the decision to tell him only moments before kick-off that whistler Graham Poll was to be using an experimental listening device which allowed him to converse with his assistants.
"I should've refused to play," he told the club's TV station. "He would have had to take it off. I am really sick I didn't do anything. You cannot introduce something without prior knowledge.
"We had no communication regarding as to why and for what reason and what our responsibilites would be.
"I had no time to prepare the players for the situation and clearly Graham Poll has had no time either.
"His performance - he was over-zealous - infuriated both parties and caused a lot of uneccesary indiscipline.
"He booked four of my players for dissent, which is quite amazing. It looks like my team are indisciplined and that me as a manager doesn't discipline his side correctly.
"Incidents in the game were caused by the referee being wired up. I would still have complained though had there not been any incidents."
