No excuse for ‘awful decisions’ blasts Redknapp

Harry Redknapp urged the officials in charge of his side’s 2-1 home defeat to West Brom to visit the opticians after a number of controversial decisions left his side bottom of the table.

The visitors’ second goal was an own-goal by Robert Green, who parried the ball into his own net under pressure from Marc-Antoine Fortune. Then, with just seconds left and the result poised at 2-1, Stephane Mbia pulled away at the back post to aim a header at goal that West Brom substitute Liam Ridgewell clearly handled.

“I think they were awful decisions. I think the ref got it completely wrong,” Redknapp raged after his side sank to bottom of the League thanks to Reading’s home draw with Swansea.
