that robbed his team of victory yesterday:
“There was no contact. If I was the manager of Charlton I
would have been happy with that decision. Was it a dive?
Well there was no water underneath him and it was nice.
“I don't compare the Robert Pires penalty with this one.
Pires was touched on the run by the Portsmouth player. On
this occasion the player was not touched by anybody. I think
the one with Pires against Portsmouth was more of a penalty.
It is difficult for the referees because it all happens so
quickly. Of course it is easier when you see slow motion. In
my opinion, unless we have changed the rules, that was not a
penalty.
"But I do not rage because I cannot change anything. I just
think it is very difficult for referees."
