Nathan Jones in bizarre cat rant after offside controversy

  • Charlton Athletic manager Nathan Jones has delivered a second scathing critique of match officials within days following a 0-0 Championship draw against QPR at The Valley.
  • Jones accused assistant referee Bhupinder Gill of arrogance, claiming the official looked at him as if he had "volleyed his cat" after flagging Tyreece Campbell's first-half strike for offside.
  • The Charlton manager insisted the disallowed goal from the Jamaica striker was clearly onside and that the officiating error cost his side all three points in the London derby.
  • This latest outburst follows Jones's criticism of referee Robert Madley after Charlton suffered a 4-0 defeat to Stoke City on Saturday, a match featuring a key penalty decision against his team.
  • Despite the recent controversy and missed points, Charlton currently sit fifth in the Championship table with 11 points from their opening six matches ahead of hosting Portsmouth on Saturday.
