MAD DECISION Boss Warnock rages after Deeney’s challenge on keeper, and labels rookie referee ‘a Sunday trainee’

- By HARRY PRATT at Vicarage Road

NEIL WARNOCK was back doing what he does best – moaning about officials after Cardiff’s defeat at Watford.

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 had put someone else who was inexperien­ced alongside me rather than Andre Marriner.

“I think that we might get somebody more experience­d against Manchester United.”
