York 1 Vics 1: Dino's verdict

DINO Maamria reckons his team should have played against 10-men for the final hour at Kit Kat Crescent.

The Vics boss was furious with the match officials for their failure to punish Martyn Woolford for his first half challenge on Joel Byrom.

"He should have been sent off," said Maamria.

"It was a bad tackle and I'm fuming with the linesman about it. The referee had turned his back but the linesman saw what happened and did nothing.

"Joel has been our best player recently and that could have really hurt us."

Maamria also admitted he was unhappy to be heading home with a point after fighting back from a half time deficit.

Michael Byrne levelled before the visitors spurned a clutch of clear opportunities in the closing stages.

"I'm pleased with the way we played," said Maamria.

"But I've got to be honest and say I'm disappointed with a point because I thought we edged it over 90 minutes.

"I told the players at half time that they needed to be a bit more composed in and around the penalty area because we were snatching at chances a little bit."

He was full of praise for star man Byrne and winger Jamie Mullan in particular.

Mullan, confined to defensive duties for the first hour, was a constant danger late on with his raids from the right.

"Byrney did well to get a goal on Saturday and again today," added the Vics boss.

"I thought we dominated the second half because we got the ball to Ryan Brown and Jamie a lot more.

"If we feed Jamie Mullan then it's the key for us going forward, he makes things happen and they couldn't handle him late on."
