CRYSTAL Palace boss Neil Warnock says he spoke to referee Michael Oliver following Tuesday's 1-0 defeat to Aston Villa.
The Eagles had a penalty appeal turned down when Fraizer Campbell was bundled to the ground inside the box in the 62nd-minute but nothing was given.
Yet Warnock felt Oliver was in the wrong position to give it.
He said following the match: "I've just said to Michael, when I've watched it you can't really blame him because he's in a bad position.
"He hasn't actually seen the right arm take down Fraizer, he's watched Yannick Bolasie cross it and he's out there in a poor position.
"And when Bolasie crosses it, Michael looks at Bolasie rather than at where the ball's going and doesn't see the right arm pull Fraizer back.
"Fraizer's got no reason to go down really, he's going to head the ball.
"Some nights you get that, some nights you don't. I don't think I can blame anybody for their goal, we've just got to get back to basics."
