Evans blasts "rubbish" referee Bond

The Millers went down to their second defeat of the Sky Bet Championship after goals from Matt Mills and Michail Antonio eclipsed Danny Collins' early opener.

But it was Bond who Evans focused on after the game, with the Scot insisting his side should have had a goal-kick in the build-up to Forest's equaliser and a penalty in the second half when Eric Lichaj appeared to handle Jordan Bowery's shot on the line.

And Evans could have landed himself in hot water with the authorities after his tirade against the match official.

"We were harshly let down by the officials," Evans fumes.

"We're not going to make that a reason, they had two chances to score and they scored two goals.

"We don't expect anything from that referee. He's rubbish every time we've had him.

"I'm not saying he's a rubbish referee, I'm saying he's rubbish every time we have him. That's just one of these things that happen.

"We'll make the calls like we always do, and the head of referees will look at it and he'll phone me up on Monday and tell me it should have been a red card and a penalty to Rotherham but we had a lot of that last year.

"The first goal they gave a corner in the build-up to it, the boy has run it out of play, the referee lets an assistant referee from 90 yards away give a corner."

On the penalty incident, Evans added: "It's a great move down the right hand side, it's a great cross in, Jordan has a great strike, it goes past the goalkeeper, the lad on the line has almost caught it, it bounces away."
