Jedinak bemoans referee decisions but says Crystal Palace won't 'cry'

Mile Jedinak insists Crystal Palace will not complain after being on the end of some questionable decisions on Monday night.

The Australian midfielder was sent off after receiving a second yellow card late in the eventual 3-1 loss to Sunderland at Selhurst Park which came after the Eagles were denied two penalty shouts.

Palace captain Jedinak admits the decisions by referee Phil Dowd left a lot to be desired but says there is not a lot the south London can do to change the outcome.

"It's disappointing when you don't receive the decisions, particularly when you're on top," said the Australia international.

"You're not going to cry over that. But when they are that obvious, it's a little bit difficult.

"What do you want me to say? I think they were both pretty clear. He made those decisions and unfortunately we have not got the run of them.

"He decided to give me a yellow on the first one for whatever reason. The second one, I got caught in him. It looked like he was right behind me and he deemed it a yellow."

The loss, which came courtesy of a Steven Fletcher brace, saw Palace drop to 17th on the table due to a third defeat in four outings.
