I knew I didn't touch him and I said to the referee to book me or send me off, it would have made me feel better. "I'm sure he (Ngog) has got a family, well if I went home having done that I'd be embarrassed. "You're supposed to be teaching your kids an example and that is just an embarrassing case of cheating.

"There's no debate, it wasn't a penalty," said the Scot. "It's a clear dive by Ngog, he has won his team a penalty. It has happened for centuries and we have to take it on the chin.

"Lee Carsley never touched him. Lee dived in and when you dive in you are always at risk, but there was no contact. It was not even close to being a penalty. "You need luck in this game at times and that plays a part of it, and unfortunately that decision went against us. They say they even up over the season but it seems to work more for the big teams, but we'll see." |
