Barker told www.echo-news.co.uk: "I'm not sure if the free-kick should have been given; I'll let the TV replays decide that, but I should still have done better from the delivery which followed. Even if I was feeling aggrieved, I'm old enough and experienced to understand you have to mark from a set piece and it was my man who scored, so I'm very disappointed by that."
