Hereford's Turner happy but unhappy! The coach is fuming!

After this afternoon's match Hereford Manager/Chairman Graham Turner told the press.

"I thought that we had a real go, the game hanged on the referee's decision with the sending off. I thought that it was Trevor Benjamin who committed the foul in the first place and then to rub salt in the wounds, our lad gets sent off.

"I also thought that we should have had a penalty, but you get that from referee's and decisions like that are not going for us at the moment."

Meanwhile, Hereford coach John Trewick had his rant to BBC Hereford and Worcester after the game.

"We've lost because of baffling decisions as far as I'm concerned.

"I was convinced it was a foul on Dean Beckwith. Even Trevor Benjamin said well you know there was nothing there. When the opposition player says that you know the referee has got it wrong.

"There are technicalities in the game. Arguably he was the last defender on the edge of the box, in front of goal and I suppose the letter of the law says if you are the last defender and the referee deems you have committed a foul and brought him down and it's a goal scoring chance then he has to go off the field.

"But I mean it's just a nonsense. To me there was no foul. Arguably it was a foul the other way.

"It baffles me how referees can make those type of decision.

"He gave one against Travis when his shirt was off his back.

"It doesn't make sense. It's not common-sense. I'm a bit baffled by it all."
