Holloway frustrated by Refs decisions
Holloway describes how post-match discussion with match ref Lee Mason left him frustrated. Blackpool manager Ian Holloway revealed he spoke with referee Lee Mason after his side's relegation woes increased following the 3-1 home defeat to Arsenal. Abou Diaby and Emmanuel Eboue put Arsenal into a commanding position at Bloomfield Road but Gary Taylor-Fletcher replied as the Seasiders played for their top-flight lives. Robin Van Persie made victory safe for Arsenal after 76 minutes but Holloway felt the decisions went against his side and argued that Mason could have awarded them at least one penalty. Holloway said: "It was very amicable. I was very calm, I can't afford not to be. I can't describe how I feel. How that is not a penalty I just do not know, to be perfectly blunt. "But Mr Mason has given us a couple of penalties before and he didn't see it as one, nor the handball. "Those things at this level make huge, huge, huge differences. I think the man genuinely gave what he thought he could see. If he wasn't sure he couldn't give it."
