Reading FC: Bowen rues 'strange' refereeing decisions

Available for over a year

Royals boss Mark Bowen says he was confused by some of the decisions vs Nottingham Forest. The game ended 1-1, following two goals that were scored after injury time had elapsed at the end of the second half. "I'm not one for criticising, because they've got a difficult job," Bowen told BBC Radio Berkshire's Tim Dellor. "But the referee wasn't great today. "I'm told by their players and our players that [the ball] was well over the line when it was hooked back in for the finish (that gave Nottingham Forest the lead). "[Nottingham Forest's Samba] Sow in midfield, I was screaming at the fourth official, I think I counted seven fouls he gave away in the game. "We get one where one person gets the wrong side of [John Swift] and he gives him a yellow card. "All the way through there were strange decisions>"
