Football: Hackett offers strong backing to beleaguered referee Dowd
2006
Overview
Keith Hackett has strongly supported Phil Dowd and Chris Foy, the two referees criticised by Premiership managers at the weekend, safeguarding their position on the top-flight list. Hackett's stance also makes it unlikely that Blackburn and Tottenham will succeed in their appeals today over the dismissals of Tugay Kerimoglu and Hossam Ghaly, who were given red cards by Dowd during Sunday's ill- tempered draw at Ewood Park. Hackett yesterday had a lengthy telephone conversation with Aidy Boothroyd after the Watford manager verbally attacked Foy for his display at Fratton Park on Saturday. Boothroyd was deeply unhappy with Foy's decision to award Portsmouth a late penalty, although Hackett believes the official acted correctly - as TV replays subsequently illustrated. Boothroyd, like [Mark Hughes], had expressed his desire to speak to Hackett, head of the Professional Game Match Officials Board, so that he could air his grievances.
