Bruce anger at Black Cats referee
15 Aug 2010 - 13:04:19
Sunderland boss Steve Bruce slammed the inexperience of referee Anthony Taylor following his side's opening day 2-2 draw with Birmingham City.
The Black Cats threw away a two-goal lead as they were held to a stalemate at the Stadium of Light.
Darren Bent's penalty and an own goal from Stephen Carr had put the home side comfortably ahead.
However, midfielder Lee Cattermole was sent off just before half-time for a second bookable offence and afterwards Bruce was furious with the match official.
"Today, all the big decisions, in my opinion, he got them wrong," he said.
"I don't want to criticise referees but I think he's only been refereeing for four years and it looked like it.
"For it to be in a Premier League game, when we've got (fourth official) Chris Foy standing there, one of the best officials, it doesn't make sense."
