Newcastle United striker Andy Carroll is fed-up with the way he's being treated by match officials.

After Saturday's win, Burnley felt the Newcastle striker, captaining his boyhood club for the first time, should have seen red, rather than yellow, for an elbow on Ben Mee.

But Carroll said there are double standards at play and that Newcastle resembled the walking wounded after this defeat.

"He (Mee) was jumping up giving elbows, I was jumping up giving elbows," Carroll said. "It was exactly the same at both ends but every game it is always me, always me.

"Fabian Schar has come in the dressing room with bumps all over his head, bruises everywhere and somehow nothing. It's a disgrace.

"It's hard, really hard. There were decisions they got that we didn't get, it's frustrating. We tried to get the equaliser and push on, there were lots of decisions we didn't get and it kills the game for us."

Carroll added: "It was disgusting, it was a disgusting game. The weather was terrible. We gave everything we could give on the basis it was a poor game."
