Wycombe Wanderers Reaction - Cherries

Speaking after the match, manager Jimmy Quinn, is quoted in the Bournemouth Evening Echo as saying: "It was disappointing. Referees have a difficult job, but I felt he made a couple of decisions that affected the result. I thought it was a definite penalty because their lad has put his foot in there. When you do that in the box, it's a penalty, but the referee has obviously seen it differently. Sometimes you have to live with those decisions you don't get, but there were a lot of free kicks he gave the opposite way for me as well".

Quinn added: "Jason Pearce got an elbow in the face and the referee gave the free kick the other way. It just defied belief. Danny Hollands got booked at the end for going in a little late on a player, but then Scott McGleish has gone in late on Joel Ward and has got away with it while our player got booked. I didn't see it, but apparently the linesman put his flag up for their second goal as their player helped the ball in with an elbow, but the referee has chosen to ignore that. They are top of the table and they haven't had a points deduction like we have, but on the second-half performance you wouldn't have known which team was top and which was down the bottom. I thought we passed them off the park at times, but we just lacked a bit of cutting edge up front".
