Gillingham 2 Blackpool 2

RONNIE JEPSON berated the match officials following Saturday’s draw against Blackpool after having a last-minute penalty appeal turned down.

The Gills boss launched a fierce protest at referee Darren Deadman on the final whistle, after the official denied his side a chance to claim a deserved win, when Danny Spiller was brought down in the box.

Jepson said: "Every man and his dog knows it was a penalty. The referee and linesman are in great positions.

"The linesman was giving the little things, the little tugs and that but never saw what I thought was a big decision.

"He must have had somebody blocking his way."
