DERBY County boss Wayne Rooney believes match official Andy Madley’s decisions “cost” his side the game at the Vitality Stadium.

The Rams were left aggrieved after Leif Davis’ clumsy challenge in the box on Ravel Morrison went unpunished, whilst the former England captain fumed that Dominic Solanke’s opener should have been chalked off for numerous reasons.

Jamal Lowe made it two late on, but by then, Rooney believed the damage to have already been done.

In first-half stoppage time Solanke was well placed to poke home after Jaidon Anthony’s mazy run in the box, but Rooney listed three points of contention regarding the goal.

The Manchester United legend first shared his gripe with the lack of a penalty call, saying: “It’s a clear penalty, I’m sure Scott Parker will say it’s a penalty.

“Everyone in the stadium knows it’s a penalty, apart from the four people that matter.

“I went on about referees last week – I don’t want to keep doing it, sound like I’m making excuses, but I just said there’s moments.

“That’s a clear penalty, there’s moments during their (first) goal that is a clear foul on Lee Buchanan, then the referee looks at him.

“The referee’s got a duty (of care). Forget football-, Lee Buchanan went down before that with a head injury. The referee looks at him, stands over him, and let’s play carry on with a second head injury.

“We have a duty of care to the players, we’re talking about concussion and have a substitute for concussion, but the referee is the only who can stop the game.

“I was really disappointed they didn’t do that.

“Then obviously Bournemouth get the throw-in from that.

“They take the throw-in 10-15 yards further back from where it was.

“I haven’t seen it so I can’t say 100 per cent, but I’ve had a couple of players say the ball is out of play.

“I don’t know. That’s a big moment in the game.

“I felt we were in the game, the gameplan was good to stay in the game and then go and try win the game in the second half. That’s absolutely changed it. That decision has cost us the game.”

Rooney then went on to compare the difference in fees paid for players between the two sides.

“I think if you looked at the values of the two squads, they really shouldn’t be on the same pitch.

“So to come here and compete and make a competitive game out of it, I believe we didn’t deserve to lose here in the end, it’s frustrating.

“We know it’s an opportunity missed, but there’s a lot of positives there. I’m happy with the lads’ performance, obviously I’m disappointed with the result.”

Despite his belief that his former England teammate Parker would agree that it was a penalty, Cherries’ boss informed press that he had in fact not seen the incident.

“I’m not sure. I’ve not seen it back, so I don’t know. They obviously appealed for that quite strongly.

“I don’t know whether it was or it wasn’t really, so over the course of the game I thought we were well worthy of it.”
