Fulham – Hughes Reflects Why!

It`s very disappointing to have gone out of the FA Cup, especially at home to Bolton Wanderers.

But perhaps it is fair to say that we never really got the rub of the green yesterday when refereeing decisions didn`t quite go in our favour, as Mark Hughes explained in his post match interview with the media,

“There were a couple of situations where you think ‘The referee needs to make a positive decision` and just waving your arms and saying ‘Play on` at times can be a cop-out.”

“You`ve got to be strong enough to make decisions when they are needed. There were certain situations where he said he was playing the advantage. Bu tin and around the opposition box you don`t necessarily want the advantage.”

“You want free-kicks and set-plays, which we didn`t seem to get. We had very few in the first half.”

“Second half, there were a few decisions that we probably disagreed with and that I found difficult to understand.”

“But it is always a dangerous thing to talk about referees when you`ve just got beaten in the cup because it smacks of sour grapes. So I don`t really want to go there.”


On reflection, perhaps a set-piece was going to be our best chance of scoring on a day when it just didn`t quite go right for us.
