Slav loses it with ref Oliver – ‘he was bad’

Slaven Bilic refused to mince his words after the game declaring: “The referee was very bad today.”

The official Michael Oliver made a series of dodgy decisions with the West Ham boss unable to contol his temper at the end and being sent to the stands.

And afterwards he said: “The way we played makes me proud and happy. We should have, could have scored more but we scored enough to win the game.

“To concede like this, it is very frustrating.

“The decisions were big time against us, every one of them. It is hard for referees but when you are on the wrong side of all decisions it makes you very, very angry. The referee was very bad today

“We should enjoy tonight but now we have that bitter taste in our mouths. We didn’t deserve anything but a win tonight.

Of his own sending off Slav said: “To be fair I am already big time punished with what happened in the game. I don’t think that I crossed the line, it was nothing personal. It was the fourth or fifth decision which went against us and it’s hard to get over that without reacting.”
