Ritchie slams referee

"The lad who took the penalty shouldn't have been on the pitch," said Ritchie.

"He should have been sent off earlier for the reckless tackle right at the side of the dug-out. Correct me if I'm wrong but it was a sending off offence. Nathan Clarke has got stud marks down his chest.

"I'm very disappointed with the referee, especially in the second half. He gave them absolutely every decision going. Having said that, we thought we had worked hard enough to maybe gain a point."
