Gillingham 2 Blackpool 2
RONNIE JEPSON berated the match officials following Saturday’s draw against Blackpool after having a last-minute penalty appeal turned down.
The Gills boss launched a fierce protest at referee Darren Deadman on the final whistle, after the official denied his side a chance to claim a deserved win, when Danny Spiller was brought down in the box.
Jepson said: "Every man and his dog knows it was a penalty. The referee and linesman are in great positions.
"The linesman was giving the little things, the little tugs and that but never saw what I thought was a big decision.
"He must have had somebody blocking his way."
