Robbo blind on sending off

Hereford coach Phil Robinson saw nothing of the incident that saw Yeovil's Michael McIndoe sending off at Huish Park.
"I know it sounds like Arsene Wenger, but I didn't see it," he told the Non-League Paper. "However, John Snape is an honest professional and I don't think he would go down unless something happened."
Yeovil won 2-1 with a last minute goal, and their boss Gary Johnson commented: "I knew it wasn't going to be pretty. I like to play good passing football but we had to settle for a more direct approach."
Scouts from Southampton were at Huish Park yesterday. It is thought that they were watching Yeovil winger McIndoe, who joined the club from Hereford in February 2001. The transfer, worth £25,000, also included a clause that Hereford receive 25% of any subsequent transfer fee if McIndoe was to leave Huish Park.
Hereford winger Paul Parry has also been rumoured to have attracted interest from top-class sides including Leicester City and Glasgow Celtic in recent weeks, so it is possible that Gordon Strachan's scouts were also tracking him.

  Hereford United coach Phil Robinson felt that some of the referee's decisions today were incorrect.
  He said after today's 2-1 defeat at Yeovil Town: "Things didn't really go for us. We thought the penalty was harsh and we are convinced Paul Parry's shot in the first half was well over the line before it span back into play."
  The Bulls host Telford United on Tuesday, who have gone into freefall after their Boxing Day 1-0 defeat against Hereford. "They will be desperately seeking points to halt their slide down the table," said Robinson in today's Evening News. "Since that game they've not had the best of runs and when you look at them it just shows how soon you can move up or down in this league with either a good or a bad run."
  The season so far has been one of little luck, according to Robinson. "We had a good FA Cup run but were unlucky to lose to Swindon and we were unfortunate with the last minute goal in the FA Trophy," he said. "Even if you look back to the Leigh RMI game with the way we have been playing we were confident of picking up three points which would have taken us up to fifth and suddenly it looks like you are having a decent season.
  "But having said that other teams can point to bad luck so really you just have to try and be consistent."
