Nigel Adkins, the Scunthorpe manager, was quick to criticise the referee and said, βIt's just a shame we went down to nine men on such a big occasion and had to change our mentality. The referee acted too quickly with the first red card because there was a challenge but I don't think there was too much in it. On the second, Cleveland Taylor had already been booked, but he just made an enthusiastic forward's challenge, that's all. And our 'keeper was fouled just before Oldham scored, which the referee didn't give.β
