// A bit of a hack but it works// The article snippet is wrapped onto a second line, even when #article-sub is emptyif( $("div#article-sub").children().length == 0 ) {$("div#article-sub").remove();} Phil Brown launched a scathing attack on decisions made by referee Mike Jones in Hull City's defeat to Burnley.[LNB] The Tigers boss was not afraid to give his thoughts on the man in the middle who he said had four major decisions to make in a controversial game.[LNB]The first goal came after Jones awarded Burnley a penalty, which Graham Alexander converted, when Stephen Hunt was said to have fouled Tyrone Mears - however a TV replay suggested the Burnley full-back tripped over his own feet.[LNB]And Brown was far from happy with Geovanni's free-kick being disallowed and then having his star midfielder sent off for two bookable offences.[LNB]On the decisions, he told Sky Sports: "You're not just talking about one or two here, you're talking about four.[LNB]"Their penalty, our penalty when he's (Jones) played on and Kamel Ghilas has a chance with two people on the line, when you take a penalty you've got one person on the line so he allows the advantage then doesn't come back to give the penalty. Then the free-kick and then the Geovanni sending off."[LNB]No qualmsBrown said he had no qualms about Alexander's second of the game in the 77th minute but urged Jones to watch his decisions again on the television.[LNB]In a tense afternoon, the Hull City boss came under scrutiny from the Burnley faithful as they sang "You're getting sacked in the morning" from the Turf Moor stands.[LNB]However Brown insists he will remain at the club and is happy with his players' commitment despite their latest defeat.[LNB]"Bottom line is I asked the players for a committed performance and I got one, that's all I can ask of them," he said.[LNB]Committed players"My situation is my situation and I'm not blaming anybody else for it but me. Yes we're in a tight situation, yes we're in the bottom three, yes you need the rub of the green, yes you need a little bit of luck but you also need committed players and I think you've seen committed players today.[LNB]"I expect to be manager of this football club in the Premier League next year."[LNB]Adam Pearson was watching the game from the stands and Brown said he expects to be reunited with him on Monday as Hull's new chairman.[LNB]
