Monk to meet chief ref Riley after “disgusting” decision comments

“I’m going to meet him face-to-face on Friday, I’m just going to give him some concerns I’ve had.”

Swansea manager Garry Monk will meet referees’ chief Mike Riley on Friday having claimed one victory after defender Federico Fernandez’s midweek red card against Liverpool was rescinded.

Monk escaped a Football Association charge on Wednesday for his post-match outburst at Stoke on October 19 when he described Potters winger Victor Moses as “a cheat” for falling inside the penalty box and called referee Michael Oliver’s decision “disgusting” for awarding the spot-kick.
