BROMLEY boss Andy Woodman felt his side’s 1-1 draw against Notts County in their top-of-the-table League Two clash hinged on two penalty decisions – and hinted he expected another apology email from a referee on Monday.
A Matthew Dennis put the hosts in front in the 28th minute at Hayes Lane.
The visitors levelled six minutes into the second half when Jodi Jones fired home from the spot after he had been brought down by Marcus Ifill.
Ravens goalkeeper Grant Smith denied Jones a second an hour in before County’s Scott Robertson was sent off for a second yellow card for a foul on Jude Arthurs with seven minutes left.
Woodman wants something done to help officials make the right decisions.
“That’s cost us at one end, and then we have got a stonewall penalty at the other, so it just feels like we keep getting these emails every Monday from the referee apologising, it’s probably six or seven times now,” Woodman said.
“For me, we have not got VAR in this league, but it is so simple to put an analyst beside them with an iPad, and just look over it really quickly.
“It is really disappointing because it is going to cost clubs big prizes at the end of it, and it is such an easy fix.”
Bromley were four points clear of Cambridge United as County dropped out of the automatic promotion places to fourth.
Bromley were in action at home to eighteenth-place Cheltenham Town in midweek.
Woodman added: “I thought that we played some good football in the right areas, we pressed them high, and we didn’t create loads of great chances, but at the end of the day it was always going to be a tight game.
“I’m really proud of my team. We are unbeaten at home and that is nothing to be disappointed at.
“We have just got to take care of what we do, we have got two more games this week and we need to make sure that this point becomes a good one on the back of the two games that we play next.
“Four points clear at the top, and for all the noise on the outside we are still bang on target.”
