Jordan upset at referee

Portsmouth assistant-manager Joe Jordan has accused referee Mark Clattenburg of making a “big meal” of the situation leading to the late dismissal from the dugout of under-fire boss Alain Perrin.

Pompey slumped to their fourth defeat in seven Barclays Premiership matches this season to pile the pressure on Perrin, who was in the firing line following his side’s midweek Carling Cup exit at the hands of League One Gillingham.
