Mick McCarthy slams officials mistakes
Monday 3rd October 2011, 10:00AM BST.
Wolves manager Mick McCarthy today insisted his side felt as if their hearts had been ripped out after blasting officials’ bad decisions against Newcastle.
McCarthy’s men were denied a clear penalty in Saturday’s 2-1 defeat when referee Mark Halsey failed to spot Steven Taylor’s foul on Jamie O’Hara was inside the area, instead blowing for a free kick.
Then, after Steven Fletcher made it 2-1, the linesman deemed Matt Jarvis to have headed the ball back from out of play for Kevin Doyle to equalise in stoppage time.
The Wolves boss said: “When you’ve worked as hard as my lads did and think you’ve equalised, to have that go against you tends to rip the heart out of you,” said McCarthy.
“Even at the time I thought the first one was a penalty and I didn’t need any convincing having seen it again. I spoke to Mark Halsey and he said he didn’t want to guess. Well, he got it wrong.”
