Same old story for angry boss

ANOTHER controversial refereeing decision angered Athletic manager Paul Dickov.

Iain Williamson failed to award the visitors a free-kick when Filipe Morais was tripped in the middle of the field with the game scoreless a minute from the end.

Seconds later, Alan Sheehan – the man Dickov felt had fouled Morais – lashed home the winning goal.

“It makes it worse that it was Filipe’s man who scored,” said Dickov. “We asked the referee and he said it wasn’t intentional.

“But a foul is a foul. If he has clipped Filipe, it is our free-kick and the ball doesn’t go in the net.”
