Speaking to the Star Evans said, “Let me be clear about this, the head of referees at the Football League, David Allison, called me and said him and the match referee send me their apologies for the decision."
“I excluded the referee on Saturday from any blame because he went on the instruction of an assistant referee. Jordan Bowery never kicked out off the ball. TV evidence vindicates that. I think it is a shocking, awful, disgraceful, appalling decision. We don’t question his integrity. He’s known to us because he’s rubbish, pathetic at his job, and shouldn’t officiate at this level.” he added.
