Neil Warnock unhappy with Damien Delaney red card in Crystal Palace's 2-1 defeat to Chelsea
Sunday 19 October 2014 08:55, UK
Crystal Palace boss Neil Warnock was left to rue the sending off of Damien Delaney and referee Craig Pawson's performance during the 2-1 defeat to Chelsea.
Delaney gave the visitors an escape when he received a second booking just three minutes after Cesar Azpilicueta had been sent off for a reckless two-footed lunge on Mile Jedinak.
"Silly thing to do, to give the referee a decision like that,'' Warnock said.
"Half the (Chelsea) team surrounded the ref. I thought they influenced him at times today, but he's only young isn't he? It's experience, I suppose.''
Warnock felt John Terry - making his 500th appearance as Chelsea captain - would have been booked for a foul on goalscorer Frazier Campbell had he been a Palace player.

"It set a precedent for me,'' Warnock added. "I thought he left a lot to be desired today. He's had better days.
"I don't think that should take away from our lot. We played really well.
"On another day I think we'd have got a result, if things had gone our way.''
