McCombe frustrated by dismissal

Vale were leading when referee Mick Russell awarded the Cobblers a 50th-minute penalty for McCombe's professional foul on Adebayo Akinfenwa, who converted the spot-kick."He got half a yard on me, so I tried to pull him back a little bit," McCombe told the Sentinel."I thought I was quite a few yards outside the area, but he's taken the ball inside and just fallen over. I did pull him back, but it wasn't a penalty."If I had stayed on the pitch and given a free-kick away, we would have gone on to win because we were the better team in the first half and deserved our lead."It's very frustrating. We should be winning these games, but we've drawn because I've been sent off. That's not good, but the lads dug in there and earned a point."
