Wilkin Uphappy With Officials


AFC Telford manager Kevin Wilkin said he was uphappy with the officials at last night's match against Hereford.

In the first half the referee initially red carded Hereford's Kyle Howkins only to downgrade it to a yellow after protests from the Hereford players.

Late in the second half Wilkin was sent off for what appeared to be delaying a throw in.

"I was bamboozled at some of the decisions and what referees are able to do now," said Wilkin.

"There were four officials out there today.

"With my sending off the fourth desperate to get me sent off for some reason.

"I think I stepped a yard inside their technical area .

"Dishing out red cards for those sort of things you really are creating a situation for yourself.

"Referees, in my opinion, get too excited about certain things in front of the home crowd .

"It's just a nothing moment, I've reached out to try and get the ball back into play.

"To be sent off for that, well where are we going with the whole thing."
