Nottingham Forest manager Sean O'Driscoll questions some decisions made by referee Andy D'Urso during his side's 2-1 defeat to Leeds.

Nottingham Forest manager Sean O'Driscoll has questioned referee Andy D'Urso's performance during his side's 2-1 defeat to Leeds United today.

O'Driscoll pointed specifically at Dexter Blackstock's disallowed goal as an example of what he considered suspect refereeing, although he did acknowledge that is was a tough game to call.

"We didn't deserve anything in the first half. We did well for the first 10 minutes or so and, for the life of me, I can't see why Dexter Blackstock's goal was disallowed before they scored," he said.

"Then in the blink of an eye we were two goals down. We responded well and got a goal back in the second half but I was frustrated with the referee.

"I would describe Andy D'Urso's performance as baffling. I haven't a clue what a foul is any more after those strange decisions, though it was a difficult game to referee."

Forest's next fixture comes against Derby County next Sunday.
