Referee irks Holloway as point takes Swindon top

IAN Holloway was unhappy with the decisions of referee Richard Eley in Swindon Town's 1-1 draw at Fleewood on Saturday.
The Wiltshire outfit went top of Sky Bet League Two with their point - albeit only seven clear of 13th-placed Fleetwood - but the Bristolian boss argued the hosts’ equaliser should not have been allowed to stand.
Ryan Tafazolli gave Swindon a 31st-minute lead, but Ryan Graydon levelled just prior to halftime.
Holloway was deeply unhappy with a decision leading up to the Graydon goal, receiving a yellow card from Eley for his protestations.
The 62-year-old said: "It is difficult for me to say, but I was absolutely fuming. Ollie Palmer should have got a free-kick, he was unbelievably fouled, and with the decisions he (the referee) was giving before that, it was an obvious free-kick for us, and he did not give it.
