Hart - Definitely a penalty
Portsmouth manager Paul Hart was 'very satisfied' with his side's draw at Newcastle United but was frustrated not to be awarded a penalty.[LNB] The South Coast club restricted their relegation-threatened opposition to gain a point that sees them edge away from the drop zone with four games of the season remaining.[LNB]Hart was pleased with the discipline of his charges but pointed to referee Mike Riley's call not to hand his men a spot-kick in the second-half.[LNB]Striker Peter Crouch went down under a challenge by defender Fabricio Coloccini, and Hart was certain it was a foul.[LNB]He said: "Having looked at it, I thought it was a penalty when I saw it. And it is a penalty now. Definitely.[LNB]"Peter Crouch doesn't dive."[LNB]TacticsOn the display, Hart added: "I am very satisfied with a clean sheet and a point but I think a tinge of disappointment that we didn't get all three.[LNB]"I thought it was a very tough game. A very emotional game. Newcastle tried to throw the kitchen sink at it.[LNB]"We were disciplined. We thought we got the tactics right to play against them. There was some massive performance from us tonight.[LNB]"Newcastle had a couple of chances but I think on reflection we had the edge, especially in the second half - I thought we were fantastic."[LNB]
