Rotherham manager Leam Richardson was left perplexed by referee Geoff Eltringham바카라s decision to award West Brom a penalty in the Baggies바카라 2-0 win over the already-relegated Millers at the Hawthorns. (More Football News)
Brandon Thomas-Asante had handed the promotion-chasing hosts a 23rd-minute lead before Eltringham pointed to the spot when the striker바카라s shot struck Lee Peltier, though replays showed he was outside the box and the ball appeared to strike his face.
John Swift netted the resulting penalty in first-half stoppage time to settle the Championship fixture.
Richardson said: 바카라I바카라ve not seen that before. The assistant was maybe 10 yards away looking down the line of it. Then he goes and books my assistant manager (Rob Kelly) for telling him 바카라the linesman can help바카라. It was a wrong decision, and a poor one in my opinion. It changed the full outcome of the game.
바카라The first goal we gave away was poor, but then I thought the second one changed the whole complex.
바카라Someone said in another interview that those decisions go against you when you바카라re down there, but that바카라s a disgusting way of looking at it. You should have a consistency of professionalism regardless.
바카라I never question anyone바카라s integrity, but I can바카라t explain that decision.
바카라We바카라ve had a number of similar decisions and apology letters, but I have no interest in that. You can바카라t get those decisions wrong.바카라
Asked if he would report the match officials, Richardson said: 바카라What? And get another apology letter?바카라
Richardson바카라s opposing number Carlos Corberan, who has guided West Brom into fifth and nine points clear of the chasing pack with four matches left to play, said he had not seen a replay of the incident.
바카라I didn바카라t see the action back,바카라 he said.
바카라I knew from the level of the protests from the players and the staff, I understood that there was no doubt that it was the wrong decision. In these situations, you always want fair decisions.
바카라Later in the game there was another decision, maybe a foul on Asante inside the box, that the referee didn바카라t whistle.
바카라If the referee did something wrong, he can, let바카라s say, compensate for this, but during the year, unfortunately the referees haven바카라t had the support to guarantee the right or wrong decisions. Live, they need to make quick decisions.
바카라Sometimes they make mistakes because everyone does. It happens in your favour sometimes, sometimes not. We have, this year, received a lot of wrong decisions against us, which we don바카라t want in the same way we don바카라t want any type of advantage in the decision.
바카라If the action wasn바카라t a penalty, it바카라s a pity, but hopefully it바카라s a compensation of something that we have suffered from before.바카라
