Gregory not happy with poor officials
John Gregory
has attacked the officials of yesterdays 2-3 defeat by Newcastle United. In an interview given after the game he stated that the game was lost through incompetence by the linesman(assistant referee) and his inability to make a decision . The Rams boss now faces more disciplinary action from the FA over his reaction to the incidents in the game and also these latest comments on the officials (even if he is totally right in everything he said).

Gregory also went on to ask for video evidence to be brought into play for these offside calls. He said that most Premiership managers would be in favour of the technology being used to determine if goal where or where not offside.

After the controversial defeat the Derby manager admitted that Premiership survival looks a big doubt. Gregory said, “we need 3 wins out of 3 and hoping everyone else loses and that doesn't happen”.
