Penalty Decision Upsets Souness
Last updated : 09 May 2004 By Colin Rae
"This has been a disappointing day for us. We have defended well in recent weeks which has got us out of the river," the Rovers boss said after the 1-0 defeat at White Hart Lane.
"Jonathan Stead missed a great chance for us, but I cannot be critical of him because his goals have kept us in the Premiership.
"But I felt Andy Cole's shirt was being tugged all afternoon. I am not going to get into a war of words with the referee because it doesn't get me anywhere.
"We have not had a penalty this year and I didn't expect us to get one on this occasion.
"I am going to the Football Association on Thursday and maybe I will say something to them when I am there."
