Harris claims 'game's gone' as he feels ref cost Cambridge against Town
Cambridge United boss Neil Harris said that the 'game's gone' after being frustrated by refereeing decisions in the 3-2 defeat to Swindon Town. Swindon got their first win of the season on Saturday as goals from Aaron Drinan, Harry Smith, and Darren Oldaker proved to be enough to see off The U's. After the game, Harris was very annoyed with various decisions from the referee, which he believed cost his team opportunities to score. He said: 'There was so much good with the performance; what's bad is the result and conceding three really poor goals. 'And then the referee's performance was probably as bad as those two points lost. I have been to see him already. 'Sullay Kaikai has got a one-on-one, and he has stopped the game. I suppose that is League Two, but he needs to be questioned for that from the powers that be, certainly. 'The rule at the end, what is that all about? We get a corner and they give a free kick to the goalkeeper, who was not even involved with the lad lying on the floor, who then gets up. 'The game's gone. The game's absolutely gone in that aspect. It is so soft that it is embarrassing. 'The referee, all he has to do in two instances, is play for a millisecond longer, and we might score in the first one and in the second, we have a chance to score. 'I got an apology on both fronts. The second one, I get he has to be careful with a head injury, but the game's gone. It is a joke nowadays; the game and the players are so soft. 'Just play on, the lad is alright, he gets up off the floor. I am all for safety first, but the referee has to manage that situation; it is his job to manage the game, and he has let us down badly by not letting us play on for a fifth of a second longer in both instances.'

Swindon players rated Harris praised the attacking qualities of Swindon, but was still furious with his team for how they conceded. He said: 'It really hurt me because we scored two good goals and had lots of opportunities with the ball in the box, but to concede the three goals like we did is really poor. 'We shot ourselves in the foot against, let's be honest, a really good attacking side that has ability at the top end of the pitch, but we gave them a leg up.'

"His output in his numbers and performances whilst I have been head coach have been very impressive. He offers variety to us on either wing, but I also believe he can play higher up the pitch as a striker."Kaikai began his career at Crystal Palace and his former clubs also include Blackpool and Wycombe Wanderers."There's a real sense of optimism around the place so I'm really looking forward to this next chapter at the club," he said.
