Cardiff City manager Steve Morison has accused Barnsley of unfair play and believes they "endangered" their ball retrievers with underhand tactics.
Many onlookers spotted during the match that Cardiff were searching for towels before throw-ins, a weapon they use to great effect through Will Vaulks and Marlon Pack.
But the towels were placed away from the advertising hoardings, where they are typically found, with some fans even suggesting that Barnsley staff were giving them to supporters in an attempt to hide them.
