Apologies if this has been posted before. From the Argus:
Tranmere boss Les Parry accused Albion players of getting his men into the referee's notebook.
Parry saw Andy Robinson sent-off and Ben Gordon booked for fouls as his side lost 3-0 at Withdean.
Asked after the game whether Robinson deserved his straight red, Parry admitted: "I'd like to look at it again.
"I couldn't say categorically that it wasn't a red card.
"But I'm going to have to have our lads in and have them lying down after tackles because it seems to be the only way you can get referees' decisions nowadays.
"After every tackle their players lay on the floor.
"Ben got booked exactly the same. Lay on the floor and as soon as he (Gordon) was booked, he was up.
"I thought for an experienced referee he fell for the five-card trick on numerous occasions."
Parry felt the scoreline was harsh on his relegation-threatened side.
He said: "We shouldn't have won the game but 3-0 isn't a fair reflection."
