Simpson says United were robbed

Simpson was said to be 'fuming" according to the Carlisle news and star as he has voiced his opinions about yesterdays refs performance.
"It was a disgraceful performance by the referee and it is the biggest robbery I can remember during my whole career," said Simpson.
The ref send off two of Carlisle's players and gave the Bees a penalty which left back Simon Clist blazed over the bar."He was a numpty but I could tell that he wanted to fit in with Barnet's party night and he didn't give a single decision against them all night.

"Grazioli dived in the box at one point and he didn't do anything about that and a couple of tackles went in that I wasn't too happy with.

"I haven't got any idea how he got five minutes of stoppage time to begin with, never mind the extra 60 seconds beyond that, while he said he sent Tom off for deliberate handball and for preventing a goal being scored."Some of our lads say they were behind Tom, including Matty Glennon, so we are going to have a look at the video and try to see if we can appeal over that one with the FA."


After that one of the Carlisle players called the ref a cheat and was then sent off.
"Danny called the referee a cheat, so we can't really complain about that as he just lost it for a couple of seconds. It's a real shame as he was superb before that and may now miss out on some big games for us. We'll have to look into it and see what the full situation is."


I have a few things to say about these comments by Paul Simpson.
One, Grazioli doesn't dive! The penalty was a clear handball. And as you may of seen on our messageboard which once again has been taken-over by Carlisle fans (They might as well no one else uses it ;-) ) Have been saying that the goal from Grazioli came in the 97th minute 2 minutes after the game should of ended. One it was in the 96th apparently, for the first 1 and a half minutes of time added on you player was on the floor pretending to be injured! And finally it is a MINIMUM of 5 minutes!


SHOULD WE DRINK CHAMPAGNE FOR YOU!!!
