    <p class="big">Tony Mowbray accused referee Uriah Rennie of 'damaging his own performance' after West Brom moved to the top of the Championship with a 1-1 draw at Leicester. </p>

    The Baggies claimed top spot after Derby lost out to Sunderland, but it was not enough to stop Mowbray launching a scathing attack on Rennie. </p>

    &quot;At the end of the game I was just a bit bemused by the timing of the final whistle,&quot; said Mowbray. </p>

    &quot;The goalkeeper takes a goal-kick, their centre-half heads it, Zoltan Gera sticks our centre-forward through with the goalie and then he blows his whistle. </p>

    &quot;Ninety nine referees out of 100 blow the whistle when you take the goal-kick. It felt as if there were hundreds of fouls and I think Mr Rennie was just trying to let the game flow - but he was damaging his own performance. </p>

    &quot;All I ask for is protection for my team. We're trying to entertain and play the right way.&quot; </p>

    Foxes boss Rob Kelly was pleased with hisside's performance and was a little disappointed not to come out with all three points. </p>

    &quot;I was a bit disappointed on our second-half display that we maybe didn't take all three points. </p>

    &quot;They're a good team who were in the Premiership this time last year. But we're not going to roll over and let them just outplay us. That's credit to our players.&quot; </p>

    Kelly also refused to criticise the referee and said the incident between Geoff Horsfield and Paul McShane was &quot;no big deal&quot;. </p>

    &quot;Geoff is as honest as the day is long,&quot; said Kelly. </p>

    &quot;I know McShane from his time at Manchester United and Brighton and he's competitive. There were no problems and they shook hands at the end.&quot; </p>

    Nah, Mr. Rennie can do no wrong. Best referee ever (Mike Riley coming a close second).
    </p>

    An according to Football Heaven, he's from Sheffield but lives in Rotherham, therefore he has no reason to hate Barnsley. I sleep easier knowing that...</p>
