Title: Sam Allardyce Angry With Robin Van Persie's Equaliser
Post by: Folami David on Apr 18, 2013, 09:06 PM
West Ham boss Sam Allardyce was furious with officials following Robin van Persie's controversial equaliser in a 2-2 draw with Manchester United.
.
With Van Persie offside for United's second, Allardyce fumed: "We had a fabulous win taken away from us."
.
"We had a fabulous win taken away from us by an assistant referee. It was blatantly offside, as we can all see " Sam Allardyce
.
His anger was echoed by United boss Sir Alex Ferguson, who was upset Andy Carroll was not sent off for a challenge on keeper David De Gea.
.
"It was a red card," he said. "There is not a doubt about that."
.
Carroll had thrown himself into an aerial challenge with the keeper as he attempted to reach a corner at the end of the first half, leaving both the Spaniard and defender Patrice Evra needing treatment.
.
"The referee did see it but didn't see it as a red card," Ferguson added. "He saw that incident and chose not to give him a red card."
.
Allardyce was quick to contradict Ferguson.
.
"I think it is a yellow card at most because Andy has committed to try for the header and you can't stop dead," he said.
.
"When you commit on a corner and you start off running, you can't stop dead even though you aren't going to get it.
.
"Your Highway Code will tell you that when you travel at 60mph it will take 300 yards to stop, so when Andy's travelling at 15mph..."

He doesn't have to be angry cause RVP was always likely to score in that game. United deserved the point they snatched...
