Chris is left cross after 'blatant fouls'

BIRMINGHAM manager Chris Davies criticised the officials for missing Stoke "throwing players to the ground" in a feisty clash at St Andrew's.

Scorer Tomoki Iwata had an effort ruled out for a marginal foul by Marvin Ducksch, while Davies claimed there could have been a penalty for challenges on either Ibrahim Osman or August Priske.

"If that's a foul, what Ducksch has done there, then what their fullbacks were doing to Priske... I don't know what this is because they were throwing him to the ground every time he was trying to run forwards," said Davies.
