Blackpool boss Ian Holloway blamed match officials for allowing Coventry to level in the 2-2 draw. Holloway was trying to bring on a substitute as the Seasiders were down to ten-men when Gary Deegan levelled matters at 1-1, and was sent to the stand for protesting too much.
Although he spoke to referee Andy Woolmer afterwards after the game, Holloway claims the version of events coming from the match official differs to his.
Holloway fumed: "The fella (fourth official) was given the card, he put the numbers in the board and the referee allowed the corner to be taken.
"I was saying at the time, you can't do that, it's my centre-half, please get him on. It should have been allowed to be done.
"So when they scored, ironically where Matt Phillips would have stood, I went 'why didn't you let me put him on!' And then I get sent to the stand."
Holloway continued: "The referee is in control of the overall situation, he has told me what he felt was the truth.
"I've waited (30 minutes after the final whistle) and now I've been told something that, in my opinion, wasn't true.
"What I was told was not accurate, at all.
"There's only one person to blame in my honest opinion and the person who's on the side (the fourth official) doing his job should have done it. We did our job, my kit man gave him the number and he's already got them on his board, he's now saying that he didn't.
"I am absolutely sick and devastated because I've been sent to the stand, I promised my wife I never would again."
Lukas Jutkiewicz then fired Coventry into a 2-1 lead with seven minutes remaining, but Pool rescued a point in the 91st minute thanks to Keith Southern's header.
Meanwhile, Sky Blues boss Andy Thorn complained of a foul on his keeper Joe Murphy which subsequently led to the corner from which Southern headed home.
"The goal was a joke," said Thorn.
"Murphy catches the ball and their lad elbows him and knocks the ball out of his hands, it's a blatant foul. But when things don't go for you they don't go for you.
"When you see the goal you just can't believe it's not a free-kick, his raises the elbow right into Murphy, he then drops the ball and then he's stood there looking at him.
"It's really, really disappointing. But I know the officials' jobs are hard and I haven't got enough money to criticise.
"We just feel let down. It becomes frustrating."
Regarding his side's performance, Thorn added: "For half an hour we never laid a glove on anybody, I was disappointed with that.
"Fair play to them (Blackpool) they're a good side, we changed our system a bit to stop them and then I thought we grew into the game.
"I was pleased with the way we came back, we had a few quiet words at half-time because my team don't play like that.
"The way we came back is what we're all about and we should have got the three points."
