Moyes deems officiating 'very poor' after UEL exit

West Ham boss David Moyes fumed about referee Jose Maria Sanchez Martinez after UEL exit to Leverkusen

Transcript

00:00 David, what were your thoughts on the officiating this evening?

00:03 Mikel Antonio said that it felt like he was playing against 14 officials at the time,

00:07 if you include the 19 and the referee.

00:09 Well, I think if I asked you people the question then, instead of myself,

00:13 then I'd ask you what you thought of the officiating.

00:15 If this is going to be the end of it...

00:17 You're not answering my question!

00:18 It's not my opinion.

00:20 No, but I'm asking you one. What did you think of the officiating?

00:23 The fans made it fairly clear what they thought of the officiating.

00:25 And were you a fan or were you just reporting?

00:27 Just reporting, as usual.

00:29 I didn't think the officiating was too good in the second half. Do you agree?

00:32 No, I'm glad.

00:33 I'm just glad.

00:35 But I thought it was a bit of a silly question

00:37 because I actually think that he knows it was very poor and he was just getting me to say it.

00:41 So I was just hoping that he might have said it himself.

00:44 Would you say it as well?

00:46 Yes, I would. Yeah, definitely.

00:48 A more specific question on the officiating, David.

00:51 Was it the sort of game which deserved 11 yellow cards on the pitch

00:55 plus two red cards for people on the bench?

01:00 Well, I watch a lot of Spanish football and I've worked in Spain

01:04 so I've got an idea of what it's like.

01:06 But if that's the way it is, you wouldn't be wanting to watch too many Spanish games at the moment.
