Hart - Definitely a penalty

Portsmouth manager Paul Hart was 'very satisfied' with his side's draw at Newcastle United but was frustrated not to be awarded a penalty. The South Coast club restricted their relegation-threatened opposition to gain a point that sees them edge away from the drop zone with four games of the season remaining.Hart was pleased with the discipline of his charges but pointed to referee Mike Riley's call not to hand his men a spot-kick in the second-half.Striker Peter Crouch went down under a challenge by defender Fabricio Coloccini, and Hart was certain it was a foul.He said: "Having looked at it, I thought it was a penalty when I saw it. And it is a penalty now. Definitely."Peter Crouch doesn't dive."TacticsOn the display, Hart added: "I am very satisfied with a clean sheet and a point but I think a tinge of disappointment that we didn't get all three."I thought it was a very tough game. A very emotional game. Newcastle tried to throw the kitchen sink at it."We were disciplined. We thought we got the tactics right to play against them. There was some massive performance from us tonight."Newcastle had a couple of chances but I think on reflection we had the edge, especially in the second half - I thought we were fantastic."
