Reading FC: Bowen rues 'strange' refereeing decisions

Royals boss Mark Bowen says he was confused by some of the decisions vs Nottingham Forest.

The game ended 1-1, following two goals that were scored after injury time had elapsed at the end of the second half.

"I'm not one for criticising, because they've got a difficult job," Bowen told Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio Berkshire's Tim Dellor. "But the referee wasn't great today.

"I'm told by their players and our players that [the ball] was well over the line when it was hooked back in for the finish (that gave Nottingham Forest the lead).

"[Nottingham Forest's Samba] Sow in midfield, I was screaming at the fourth official, I think I counted seven fouls he gave away in the game.

"We get one where one person gets the wrong side of [John Swift] and he gives him a yellow card.

"All the way through there were strange decisions>"
