On Saturday Riley showed Bruno N’Gotty a red card after just 20 minutes of the basement battle with West Brom, although Riley might have got it right over N’Gotty’s sending-off.
Allardyce said: “I don’t think Philip Don should have sent him (Riley) to do this game.
“Anything Mr Riley did was wrong in our fans’ eyes, everything he did was booed whether it was right or wrong and the hostile environment affected everybody.”
Allardyce believes referees could benefit from being kept away from certain venues for a “cooling-off” period if they have been involved in particular controversy.
He added: “They shouldn’t return for a period of time.
“We’ve got enough full-time referees so would it not be better for all concerned, particularly with the type of game we had on Saturday, which was an identical situation to Leicester last year.”
