Blackburn 2 Spurs 1: Allardyce sambas out as Rovers leave Harry distraught
Less than 45 minutes after full time at Ewood Park and Harry Redknapp lingers in a corridor waiting to explain to the media how this one got away. He has the air of a man who has just run over his own dog.
'Bad luck, Harry, tough sending-off...' is the first remark of commiseration. 'F*****g diabolical,' replied Redknapp, his eyes not lifting from the floor. 'You should have had it won by then, perhaps.'
'Yeh, yeh, we should,' he said. No matter that Redknapp's rescue job at Tottenham is just about done.
No matter that what really matters to the club is what happens in the summer and next season.
The fact is that losing matches crushes these men.
'Yeh, I'm gutted,' said Redknapp when he eventually began his formal press conference. 'It's tough on days like this when you get defeats that you don't deserve and you know that it's because of a sending-off that you don't deserve.'
Certainly, Tottenham should have won this game. Ahead for most ofthe afternoon after Robbie Keane scored a first-half penalty they should never have been awarded when Aaron Lennon's cross struck Gael Givet's arm, Spurs really should have been a couple or more aheadagainst a Blackburn side that seemed out of sorts.
