Bristol Rovers boss talks about their performance in the 4-1 win against Accrington.
boss
Joey Barton
is happy with his men after their 4-1 victory over Accrington, although he is mad at the referee as he denied them a penalty that Barton thinks they deserved.
“I went to prison for less than the challenge by their keeper on James Daly,”
Barton said at the post-match press conference.
“It was the most bizarre thing I have ever seen when the referee didn’t point to the spot.
“When I asked him about it after the game and he told me the keeper was entitled to make the challenge. But if he doesn’t get the ball it has to be a penalty.
“I have been in charge for five games now and the officiating has been poor right across the board.
“I don’t want to say any more, but it’s important I make my point after a win, so people don’t think I am making excuses following a defeat.
“The score flattered a play-off chasing team in Accrington. Their goalkeeper has made a couple of great saves.
“But it is three points and no more than that. We have to keep building from here.”
