Kevin Blackwell was absolutely furious that referee Peter Walton ruled Kyle Naughton's header had crossed the line as his Sheffield United team were knocked out of the FA Cup at Hull[LNB].[LNB]The manager felt hard done by that the own goal stood when television replays were inconclusive, but that seems to be the default setting at his club. [LNB]Maybe they should work out how much they have lost from going out of the competition and sue the official for it.[LNB] [LNB]Look, there's Tevez: Kevin Blackwell looks for excuses as the Blades crash out of the cup[LNB]'The official has made a decision when he's not 100 per cent sure and that's what's a disgrace,' Blackwell said. 'Managers lose their jobs over that. That's what they don't understand. I've got a family and kids.'[LNB]Now Walton is a long way off being a good referee and booked United's Billy Sharp for diving when he was fouled in the Hull penalty area but Blackwell is still in a job and it is a fair bet his children aren't in danger of going hungry.[LNB] More from Hatchet Man...
