Cahill flattered as Blackburn boss Allardyce has a dig at the Everton star
Tim Cahill insists he will rise above Blackburn [LNB]boss Sam Allardyce's claim that he gets away with fouling defenders. [LNB]Allardyce said the Everton [LNB]player often pulled the wool over referees' eyes, but Cahill refused to get drawn in to a row following the goalless draw at Ewood Park. [LNB]Cahill told Everton TV: 'I take it as a compliment. Sam is a very good Premier League manager and he's where he is at because he's a legend in the game. So I respect his comments and I respect the team. It's nice of him to think of me.'[LNB][LNB] Tussle: Cahill and Blackburn midfielder Tugay (left) get to grips with each other[LNB]Chances were few and far between against Blackburn and Cahill believes the outcome was a point gained for Everton rather than two lost. [LNB]He added: 'I think it's a good point. It's a very hard place to go. We knew before how difficult it would be. [LNB]'There's always a confidence. There was a confidence against Blackburn - although we knew it was going to be ugly. It's exciting thinking about what potential awaits us.'[LNB]Cahill is now concentrating on Sunday's FA Cup clash with Middlesbrough, with a place in the semi-final awaiting the victors. [LNB]The Australian said: 'I'm excited about Sunday. It's a big opportunity for the football club and the players.
