Moaning Mick berates Ref

Mick Jones, the Telford manager, was unhappy after last night's game at Edgar Street. He told BBC Shropshire that after Lee Mills had equalised Telford should have won.

"That will be the hardest game Hereford will have all this season" he said. "If they have as much luck over the rest of the season, they will win the championship by March.

He thought Telford had given everything to the game and was critical of not getting a penalty: " To get a penalty I think Telford have got to shoot somebody with a double-barrel shotgun".

He thought they should have had a couple of shouts in the second half. " It's a disgrace, disgrace. Had it been in our box it would have been a penalty."

It is assumed he was referring to one incident when John Grant and Michael Rose collided in the box.

Later in the interview he praised the Hereford team: "The Hereford lads believe they can win games and all credit to them.

Meanwhile Graham Turner told the Nationwide site:"I thought we played ever so well in the first half but we needed a second goal and then Telford really caused us problems as we ran out of steam," said Hereford boss Graham Turner. "But it was great entertainment for another marvellous crowd for the full 93 minutes."

And speaking to the Shropshire Star the manager said about Telford: "When you bring in so many new players like that, it is always difficult to know whether they will settle in straight away. But they have a lot of experience and strength and caused us some problems. I think they will be up there come the end of the season."

Ryan Green, whose great goal gave the Bulls the win they deserved, commented: " I was a bit gutted in the last ten minutes when they equalised but we came through in the end
