Accrington Stanley Reaction - Stanley

Last updated : 19 October 2009 By Bournemouth Co-Ordinator
Stanley boss, John Coleman was furious with the match officials officiating the match against AFC Bournemouth, being quoted in their local paper as saying: "Now I can understand why people can lose faith in the integrity of officials. Certainly in the ability of the officials. The ref booked one of our players (Symes) for a late challenge. If he's clipped his heel, it's marginal. It's certainly not a booking and their lad has gone down screaming. He's then got up and admitted he's not touched him. I got annoyed about that. I'd like to question whether a Premier League manager would have got sent off after eight minutes if he was annoyed as I was? I think not. The referee was a bit petty".
