Alexander hits out at crucial decision

Cherries substitute Alan Connell drilled home a 86th-minute leveller from 12 yards but Alexander claimed the striker pushed defender Izak Reid to create the space.Connell's strike wiped out the lead given by defender Nat Brown which looked like giving the Silkmen their first win of the year.Alexander, who was sent to the stands by Horwood for his touchline protest, said: "It was an absolute joke, everyone in the ground saw that it was a push but somehow the referee didn't see it from four yards away and then he sent me to the stand when I questioned it.''The Town boss received some support from his counterpart Eddie Howe who said: "To be honest it looked like a free-kick from where we were but Alan is adamant he did not push him.''A frustrated Alexander said: "It was our fault that we haven't won because we had the chances to make the game safe."We have been playing well all season but at times we haven't got the luck we probably deserve.''
