Coventry City manager Steven Pressley has made an official complaint about the referee at City's defeat at Rochdale, ruling out Andy Webster's goal.
Speaking about Mr Gibbs from Birmingham, Pressley told “If you look at the footage the referee goes in to have a word and then comes back out, and you can almost guarantee that he’s going to blow for a foul.
“At that moment I turned to the bench and said it will be a foul because once he’s intervened, he comes back out and just blows.
“We complained immediately to the fourth official as to why and he radioed off and said it had been for a foul on the goalkeeper.
“The first thing is that Simeon was nowhere near him, not within two yards of him.
“Then, if you watch all the other players in the box, there is not one foul from any of our players. Not one bit of contact; not a block, nothing from any of our players.
“I knew immediately it was coming because this is almost common practise now. And that happened at the start of the second half and had the goal been allowed it changes the game completely.
“They’ll send a response to it but you can analyse it whichever way you want but there’s not one single foul or what could be perceived as a foul from every single player in the box. In fact, I would say there is less pushing and shoving by our players than normally occurs.
“All that you ask is that he doesn’t pre-empt a situation which I think is what he has done in this case, and it has cost us a goal.
“If that happens in the Premier League it’s completely highlighted but for clubs like us it’s just brushed under the table. Nobody ever hears about it.”
