Holloway hits out at Webb
Blackpool boss Ian Holloway accused referee Howard Webb of having "a bit of a stinker" for giving his side a penalty in the 2-2 draw with Blackburn at Ewood Park.
Tangerines captain Charlie Adam tucked away the 25th-minute spot-kick after Webb deemed Ryan Nelsen's challenge on Gary Taylor-Fletcher a foul, and the visitors were in total control when Adam netted a superb free-kick four minutes later.
With both sides sitting just above the relegation zone and in poor form, three points would have been a major step towards safety, but Blackburn dominated the second half and deserved the draw given to them by Junior Hoilett.
Holloway said: "I thought the referee had a bit of a stinker. Was that a penalty? I don't think so. It was a great move but it bobbled off their defender then my centre-forward fell over. There was contact but he'd already had his shot. I thought it was a corner.
"But it shouldn't be balanced out with more bad decisions at the end, and it was unfortunately. Was that a free-kick on the halfway line that led to that huge boot into our box?
"But I'd rather talk about what we tried to do this week. People were on about it's a big game but we tried to play our football. We didn't get affected, we still passed it. We got ourselves 2-0 up and it could have been four. I'm proud of my team."
