Allardyce upset with ref

Last updated : 27 April 2003 By FootyMAD
"Andy D'Urso, yet again, has done us, really, as far as I'm concerned," Allardyce told Sky Sports News.

"Florent Laville, on your stats, only conceded two free kicks today. Two yellow cards and a sending off - absolutely disgraceful.

"I can give you Ray Parlour with four free kicks before he's even got booked. Now that just isn't right.

Allardyce also questioned the ammount of stoppage time that was added at the end of the game: "It's probably the only place in the country where you get six minutes overtime. I'm infuriated by that because that's a magnificent performance by our players and I feel like the referee's tried to take it away from us.

"I couldn't believe it, to be honest. I know there'd been some injured players and so forth but we just don't see six minutes when we play away from home.

"We're lucky to see four, never mind six, for the same amount of incidents going on.
