Blackpool manager Ian Holloway was angry with the penalty decision which saw his side slip to a 1-0 defeat at Leicester.

Ben Marshall netted the all-important goal from the spot in the 54th minute after a foul on Jamie Vardy by Tiago Gomes.
Blackpool's players protested against referee Michael Jones' decision and Holloway accused Vardy of diving.
He said: " It was not a penalty. It was a hopeless decision. The boy so blatantly dived. The crowd also played their part. They shouted for something, then shouted for handball and the referee looked like he could not wait to blow his whistle.
"You would think he would be strong enough to resist those sort of things. The boy should have had a yellow card, we should have had a free-kick and it should have been 0-0.
"The referee made a human error but they should not be allowed to. We just have to hope we get a fair crack of the whip, but it is a shame when a game is spoiled like that. I don't mind losing - but not like that."
