Neil Lennon: Ref was an “absolute disgrace”

The Bolton manager was less than impressed with Darren Drysdale’s performance at Loftus Road on Saturday

By Hugo Varley

Bolton manager Neil Lennon was certainly less than impressed with referee Darren Drysdale’s decision making in the Trotters’ 4-3 defeat to QPR on Saturday.

The former Northern Ireland captain told reporters after the game at Loftus Road, “I’ve never seen a more biased performance from a referee in a long time”.

“He gave QPR everything he possibly could, I was so frustrated with that”.

The 44 year-old continued, “Any 50/50 challenges, it looked at times the free-kick was going to go to us, he invented a free-kick for QPR.”

The game was a frustrating watch for Neil Lennon who saw his side surrender a 2-0 lead and then concede a 94th minute winner from Jay Emmanuel-Thomas. The defeat adds to what has been a disappointing season for Bolton so far, with the team currently sitting in 22nd place in the Championship.
