Sunderland manager Gus Poyet has called for more honesty amongst referees after Wes Brown was mistakenly dismissed in the Black Cats’ 2-0 defeat to Manchester United.
Brown was shown a straight red card at Old Trafford for supposedly hauling down Radamel Falcao in the penalty area, when it looked as though teammate John O’Shea actually committed the offence.
O’Shea admitted to referee Roger East that he was the guilty party but it was Brown who was given his marching orders, with Poyet admitting Sunderland will review the decision in the coming days.
“I think we need to analyse the action and report from the referee properly. We need to be fair with the players and with everything on the table we will make a decision,” said Poyet.
“They have to do better though, then we can talk about whether it was the right or wrong decision. I think they need to be more honest.”
Poyet felt particularly aggrieved after another controversial decision condemned his side to a defeat against a sluggish United side who were there for the taking when the score was 0-0.
He added: “There’s too many [wrong decisions] every day, every weekend.
“Tomorrow, for example, is a big final and one decision could change the game. That is something we cannot hide.”
Poyet also admitted he was guilty of a managerial misjudgement which contributed to the defeat which leaves his side with just one win in their last ten league matches.
“I didn’t change early enough to stop that penalty happening and that was my decision so I have to accept some of the responsibility,” said Poyet.
