Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp was unhappy with referee Chris Foy after his side had suffered their first defeat in 12 games, losing 2-1 to Stoke at the Britannia Stadium.
Emmanuel Adebayor had an effort ruled out for offside - which would have levelled the scores at 2-2 - while Younes Kaboul was sent-off for two bookable offences.
Matthew Etherington had netted a first-half brace for the Potters, while Adebayor pulled a goal back for Spurs on 62 before Kaboul was dismissed eight minutes from time.
And Redknapp said: "Adebayor was a yard, two yards onside. Younes got a yellow for saying to the referee that there was a handball before Stoke scored their first goal and he didn't deserve a yellow for the second.
"The referee hasn't made mistakes because he meant to -- he's an honest guy, but he had a bad day.
"So did the linesman who missed Adebayor being two yards onside -- he'll look at it on TV when his wife's making him a bacon sandwich and he'll think 'what have I done there?'
"We certainly deserved to get something from the game. When you see the replays, how the referee gave Adebayor offside and how he didn't see the handball, I just don't know.
"We just started sloppy. At half-time we sorted things out and played with three at the back and dominated them in the second half
