Redknapp's ref rage
Harry Redknapp has given a damning appraisal of referee Steve Tanner's performance in Tottenham Hotspur's 2-0 defeat at West Brom.
The visitors to The Hawthorns were reduced to 10 men on 35 minutes when Benoit Assou-Ekotto was adjudged to have stamped on Gianni Zuiverloon earning himself a red card.
Worse was to follow as Roman Bednar's headed opening goal on 83 minutes was allowed to stand despite a clear push on Michael Dawson as the cross came in.
Substitute Craig Beattie went on to wrap up the points in injury-time and Redknapp was left fuming with the official after the final whistle.
Anger
"I couldn't even put into words what I thought of his performance," the Spurs boss said.
"When I walked into the referees' room before the game and saw who was reffing the game I knew what was coming.
"I expected that and it didn't surprise me at all. I've had him many times before and I know what he is like - he really isn't good enough.
"He is just a poor referee unfortunately and I've seen him make a mess of so many games before.
"I saw him when I was in the Championship and I thought to myself then 'Where has he come from?'.
"I never walk in after game and complain about a referee but this guy today is scary. What can you do? Someone thinks he is good enough but he is definitely not."
Curiously, Redknapp did concede he thought Tanner was right to send off Assou-Ekotto though.
"I thought it was a sending-off," he added. "I thought he turned his back, he put his foot in and I could see why he sent him off."
The defeat leaves Tottenham worrying close to the drop zone, just two points above the 19th-placed Baggies in the standings.
