Wrexham boss rips into referee as Ryan Reynolds’ hopes of promotion dented

Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson was unimpressed with the refereeing after his team missed a golden chance to take a step closer towards promotion to the EFL.

An Easter Monday victory over title rivals Notts County left the Red Dragons in pole position to claim the one automatic spot, but they failed to take full advantage on Saturday. Play-off contenders Barnet held Parkinson's side to a goalless draw at the Hive, meaning the champagne has been put on ice for the time being.

Wrexham played nearly half the game with 10 men, after Callum McFadzean was shown a straight red card for a foul on home goalkeeper Laurie Walker. Parkinson wasn't exactly delighted, though, and made his feelings clear after the game. The manager was himself shown a red card by referee Edward Duckworth, and could face a touchline ban as his team looks to seal automatic promotion.
