Redknapp said he spoke to Foy after the game about his decisions, as he
explained: "Yes I told him. I never go and talk to referees after a game, I
accept defeat.
"I never complain about referees' decisions - I have not done it in 30 years
of management, never. But today, I'm afraid, he got some badly wrong.

Does Tottenham's Redknapp have Alzheimer's?
There we were, thinking he had Parkinson's when in fact it is possibly
Alzheimer's! According to 'Arry, he hasn't criticised referees in "30 years
of management". Oh yes 'Arry, then what about these?
"I've never been one for criticising referees - it's never been my game -
but it was a blatant penalty. If you get the penalty, it could make a big
difference." (On Howard Webb's decision to turn down penalty appeal against
Sunderland in Nov 2010)
"The whole thing was a farce. It was handball. Nani put his hand on it and
dragged it down. Mark Clattenburg is a top referee but he has had a
nightmare with that." (On Mark Clattenburg's call to allow Nani's
controversial goal in 2-0 defeat to stand in Oct 2010)
"He's got a hand on the ball - it was a terrible decision. It was a gift
that United didn't deserve and it put them back in the game. Without that
bit of help from the ref, I don't think United would have come back."
(On Howard Webb again, for giving Manchester United a controversial penalty
at Old Trafford in April 2009).
"It's a nailed-on penalty. If he felt Robbie dived, why didn't he give him a
yellow or a red card? The penalty decision and Ledley King going off
injured, they were the turning points." (Howard Webb v Chelsea in Sept 2009)
"I just question the referee's overall performance which I thought was
inept. Every game I see this season has seven or eight bookings. I think
it's frightening." (On Andy D'Urso's performance at Wolves in Feb 2008)
Still, I suppose it explains why he didn't declare earnings on his tax
return!
