Pundit sympathetic to Hecky's ref outburst
Lancashire Evening Post
|October 25, 2025
Sky Sports pundit David Prutton has shared his thoughts over Paul Heckingbottom's outburst at full-time following Tuesday's 1-0 defeat to Birmingham City.
The PNE boss was outraged at the officiating on display at Deepdale in midweek for the disappointing loss to Chris Davies' men.
There were a number of incidents throughout the contest, which aggrieved the head coach including the Blues' opener, which appeared to strike Phil Neumann's arm before going in, as well as a handful of penalty shouts.
That led to a furious outburst after the game from Heckingbottom, who vented his frustrations at the officiating at Championship level.
