Blackburn Rovers<\/a>.<\/p>\nWebb gave a questionable penalty for Blackpool in the first half and then gave what looked like a soft free kick on the halfway line which allowed Rovers to have a free kick into the area at the end before their equaliser.<\/p>\n
Despite admitting that he respects Webb, the Seasiders’ manager admitted he wasn\u2019t happy the referee\u2019s performance.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think the referee had a bit of a stinker, was that a penalty? No. Great move, sharp, came off their defender then my centre forward fell over and there was contact but he\u2019d already had a shot and I thought it was a corner for us but Mr Webb gave a penalty,\u201d he told reporters.<\/p>\n
\u201cI said at the time I thought that was terrible but it shouldn\u2019t be balanced out by two more bad decisions at the end, but it was unfortunately.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt the end of the day I think the referee had a particularly poor game today. He is a good ref but he had a shocker for both teams.\u201d<\/p>\n
Despite the team losing a two-goal lead Holloway admitted he was proud of the way his team defended valiantly during the closing moments at Ewood Park.<\/p>\n
He added: \u201cI thought we showed great character after they scored and then the crowd were brilliant today.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBut I thought everything they threw at us today we soaked up. A couple of times Junior Hoilett – well done to them for having him, he\u2019s a terrific young player – had the ball and tried to cut it back but we always had people there to cut it out.<\/p>\n
“I am disappointed we let two in but it\u2019s a point and it could be crucial come the end of the season and I felt we deserved much more than that for the way my lads played. I\u2019m very proud of my players.”<\/p>\n
