Bluebirds boss Warnock fuming at Deeney’s challenge and labels rookie ref Madley a...
The veteran manager, whose side scored two late goals to give Watford a scare, complained that “Sunday trainee” referee Andrew Madley should have dismissed Hornets striker Troy Deeney for a challenge on goalkeeper Neil Etheridge.
Warnock said: “Conditions were poor, but once he started sliding in and the goalie was going to get it, he could have pulled his foot away.
“When I have got fourth official Andre Marriner sat at the side of me, and I’ve got a young referee in his first game of the season, I’m flabbergasted.
“Little, old Cardiff can have a Sunday trainee? I don’t understand it. I wish they’d put someone else who was inexperienced alongside me rather than Andre Marriner.
“I think that we might get somebody more experienced against Manchester United.”
