Dario dodges heated penalty debate

Referee Chris Sarginson gave the away side a spot-kick when he adjudged Gareth Owen to have fouled Clayton Donaldson, with Shaun Miller blasting home in the 60th minute."It was rip-roaring stuff and more like a cup tie. We didn't pass the ball as well as I would like but the boys really stuck to their guns," said Gradi. "I don't know if it was a penalty or not, but what I always say to my players is if you are going to stick your leg out in the box you are running a big risk."We've had penalties against us when my players have said they should not have been given, but then players rarely admit to doing anything wrong."The game really opened up after the penalty and that suited us. We looked capable of scoring again and we also defended very well."Steve Phillips has only had one shot to save and we've only conceded one goal in the last two games, so that is definitely an improvement."
