“I’m trying to be polite to the referee, but some of the decisions today,” said Gowling talking to Keith Hall.
“The free-kick, he just fell over. I don’t know what he wants the players to do and then they score from the free-kick.
“Yes we need to defend it better but it’s not a free-kick. They need to understand the game because it’s costing us points.”
