Championship - Warnock hits back at Clough claims

Eurosport - Sun, 20 Sep 12:25:00 2009

Crystal Palace manager Neil Warnock has angrily hit out at Nigel Clough who claimed Derby had two "stone-wall'' penalties turned down in their 1-0 defeat at Selhurst Park.

FOOTBALL Crystal Palace manager Neil Warnock - 0

Clough - referring to Clint Hill's challenge on Kris Commons, who was taken off on a stretcher late into injury time - said: "I thought we created the two best chances of the game and thought we had an absolute blatant penalty in the 92nd minute.''

But Warnock responded: "All the talking is trying to cover the cracks. Look at their bench. They've got a better side there than we have been able to put out. Let's complain about that.''

On the late penalty shout, Warnock added: "I think I'd have to say an Arsene Wenger on that one and say which one was it? I didn't see it like the ref. It couldn't have been a foul or else he would have given it.

"On my kids' life I've not seen it.

"We gave absolutely everything and I'm proud as punch of my boys and I hope they get the headlines they deserve.''

  1. Hmmm, I wonder how Warnoc woukd have reacted if the two­ incidents were against Palace players and the Derby­ keeper had handled outside the box like Speroni. ­ Double standards from Warnock, so does this mean he wil­ stop moaning about Ref's in the future!!!!!?
