TalkSPORT pundits Simon Jordan and Danny Murphy have both criticised Nigel Pearson's outburst on Sky over the standard of refereeing claiming he is sending the wrong message and is in "victim mode."
The Bristol City manager remarkably revealed he has been thinking about retiring from the game because the quality of officiating is compromising the integrity of the sport. His comments came in the wake of the Robins' 2-0 victory over Luton that saw Mark Sykes receive a red card and Rob Atkinson have a penalty appeal turned down.
City have been on the receiving end of a handful of controversial decisions already this season and Pearson admitted he had received a letter from the PGMOL informing him that Hull shouldn't have had a penalty on the opening day while his City should have had two spot-kicks awarded.
