Gardner misses Leeds clash

Last updated : 08 November 2002 By BoltonMAD
Referee Chris Foy has refused to overturn his decision to send off the Bolton winger in the game at St. Andrews and Wanderers have no right to appeal the officials decision.

Bolton boss Sam Allardyce, already facing an FA rap for comments made about the Merseyside official immediately after the game said: "The referee has had a second look and completely refused to change his mind.

"So Mr Foy is the only one in the world of football that still thinks Ricardo Gardner should be suspended.

"Unfortunately if they (referees) are not big enough to admit their mistakes, we are running dangerously close to not getting what we expect from a professional body."
