    Brown takes Potters swipe

    30 Nov 2008 - 11:32:18

    Furious Hull City boss Phil Brown hit out at Stoke City after claiming his side were 'robbed' of victory by a controversial penalty decision.

    The Tigers looked on course for a narrow 1-0 victory at the Britannia Stadium until Ricardo Fuller converted a 73rd-minute penalty to earn his side a share of the spoils.

    But an angry Brown hit out at the striker for making the most of contact from goalkeeper Boaz Myhill, before turning his attention to the style of football played by the home side.

    He fumed: "We've been robbed by a poor decision. It wasn't a penalty, I thought it was a very theatrical dive and you've got to be 100 per cent right when you make decisions like that.

    "We came to play some good football and didn't, which I apologise for, but I make no apologies for the way they play."

    Meanwhile, Brown hit out at the decision to show a yellow card to substitute Dean Windass for impeding the long-throw routine of Stoke's Rory Delap during a first-half flashpoint.

    "It astounds me that Windass was not on the field and he received a yellow card," he added.

    "Windass was booked for stretching and Geovanni was assaulted and it's not a yellow card."
