STEVE COOPER rounded on ref Paul Tierney for a "lack of understanding" after Moussa Diakhate's sending off.

The Nottingham Forest boss was upset with the official over his decision to award a second caution to the leftback 11 minutes into the second half.

"We want to help referees," said Cooper. "We'll moan and complain in games as much as anybody else, that's the nature of it.

"We try to do it respectfully, but that's sometimes hard. But they've got to help themselves."

Cooper agreed that Diakhate's first yellow card for a crude lunge at Mathias Jensen was justified.
