Post Match War of Words

Following Saturday's draw Niel Warnock and Ian Evatt have entered into a bitch fit with one another. Evatt feels Warnock bullies referee's whilst the Crystal Palace manager feels his side should have had a couple of penalties and that Evatt is guilty of kicking one his players in the chin.

Warnock feels his side should have had at least one penalty and possibly another. Instead Scott Sinclair was booked for diving although Warnock feels had the referee had video technology the penalty would have been given.

Niel Warnock told the press post match, "Unfortunately the referee hasn't got technology. In all fairness Scott's feet are just too quick for him to see it. We had a look at half-time and the big man's leg caught his shin. The ref will recognize that when he sees it again."

He added "You could tell by the defender's reaction, he put his hands to his face because he thought he had given away a penalty. He was relieved to see the card for Scott. I think both would have been given had they been outside the box."

Ian Evatt on the other hand feels that Niel Warnock is guilty of winding up the referee so that they give his side penalties. Evatt told the Blackpool Gazette  "Mr Warnock shouldn't wind up referees like he does. He gets on their case and in the end decisions go against him but neither of those were penalties."

Evatt added,"The first one, if anything, was obstruction outside the area. And the second one he just jumped over me. I don't think he dived but he was trying to avoid me. Neither were penalties."

Evatt vs Warnock, a war of words.
