Sheffield Wednesday boss Brian Laws ran his mouth before the game and questioned whether Blackpool had the bottle to deal with the pressure of a relegation fight. Well after playing his team of the pitch this Saturday he's now accused Blackpool of bully boy tactics in the latest chapter to this war of words.
Laws told the Sheffield Official Site "I thought we were somewhat bullied out of it in midfield and were second in far too many situations. We went behind early and I wanted them to remain calm and solid. We did for a time and came back into the game with a quick leveller."
Speaking on Paul Dickov and the referee, Laws said: "Obviously Paul Dickov's goal gave Blackpool a massive lift - but the sending off of my player (Peter Gilbert) proved decisive.
The referee (Nigel Miller) made some bizarre decisions throughout the game but this was the most bizarre."
He added "Firstly it was a red card for Gilbert, then it wasn't - then it looked like red for Dickov and then it wasn't. Then it looked like a penalty for Blackpool and then it wasn't. Dickov is a very experienced player and a manipulator on the park, I had warned my players not to fall into the trap of letting him dictate to them."
"But I am afraid Gilbert did that and it was a game-changing moment."
