Boatmen pay a big penalty

SHOLING boss Dave Di-aper took his frustrations out on referee Adrian Quelch after Torquay United avoided a huge cup banana skin at the Mackoy Stadium.

Diaper was furious that Quelch awarded the Gulls a 43rd-minute penalty which was ultimately tucked away by Asa Hall.

That gave the National League high-fliers the incentive to kick on with a fine 40yard chip from Josh Umerah sealing their place in the first round with a killer second goal on 71 minutes.

But Diaper was left baffled by the decision which cost his side.

“I’m really disappointed. The performance was good enough but I think the referee’s decision was quite crucial,” he said.
