Sunderland owner Stewart Donald takes sarcastic swipe at match official in Peterborough United draw

Jack Ross' side missed the chance to go within two points of the automatic promotion places after the game swung on the dismissal of Bryan Oviedo with just over 20 minutes remaining.

And while fans accepted Coote was right to send the Costa Rican off, overall he was heavily criticised by the Stadium of Light faithful with one fan believing it was the worst refereeing display he's seen in his 27 years supporting the club.

Ross labelled Coote's display after the game as "indifferent" as the match official endued regular boos and chants of 'you don't know what you're doing.'

"Strange because I hear some of the comments saying we get favours here, we have had a couple of penalties against us, red cards, we haven’t had too much go for us here."

And on Wednesday morning, Sunderland owner Stewart Donald was the next to refer to Coote's performance.

Donald, who viewed the incident at the Kingsmeadow, quote tweeted the clip with a witty comment.

"Found our next match referee," said Donald via his Twitter account.

Ross' men are in action against the Bantams at Valley Parade and will hope to avoid such controversy surrounding the referee as they aim to stay in touching distance of the top two.
