Aldershot Town boss Gary Waddock was an angry man after seeing his side lose 1-0 at Grimsby Town due to a controversial late penalty.

Barry Conlon converted from the spot after Anthony Charles had been adjudged to have handled, a decision which left Waddock puzzled.

He fumed: "Apparently it was given for handball but God knows where the ref got that from.

"I spoke to Anthony and he said he was going to head the ball and their fellow put his hand on it. For some unknown reason the lineman's given a penalty.

"The lads worked so hard. I felt we were the better side and deserved something from the game.

"We didn't get it, but you need a bit of luck in these situations and Grimsby certainly got that.

"I'll have a quiet word with the referee, but you have to take into account the conditions. Anthony went to head it and their lad actually slapped the ball."
