Sheffield United manager Kevin Blackwell was unhappy with a penalty decision in the 4-3 defeat by Cardiff.
Darius Henderson had just cancelled out Jay Bothroyd's opener when the latter tumbled under a challenge from the Blades frontman and Peter Whittingham scored from the spot.
Blackwell moaned: "How a 6ft 5in lad can fall to the floor like that and the referee is mugged I don't know, but these things are going against us."
Henderson levelled again for the hosts in first-half stoppage-time, but two more goals from the outstanding Whittingham put Cardiff in control and meant James Harper's injury-time strike was no more than a consolation.

I'm not knocking Hendo, we always get 90mins of endeavour & effort out of him!. The thing is that 90% of his 'challenges' for the ball end in a free-kick against him!, so why think it's gonna be any different just because it's in or around our own penalty area!?. I'd like to think someone on the coaching (ha ah ha) staff, or maybe the player himself would watch 'footage' of his challenges to scrutinise them for any 'problems'!!.
