Gillingham boss Neil Harris has urged the officials to review Oli Hawkins’ disallowed goal and apologise - accusing them of making a shambolic error.

Harris was red carded for dissent on Tuesday night after referee James Oldham disallowed Hawkins’ 90th minute headed effort against Crewe because of a perceived foul.

It was a decision the Gills manager couldn’t keep his cool about. Harris said: “There was nothing wrong with the goal and I have seen it from two different angles, it was a brilliant header.

That would have given us the breathing space and composure to see the game out comfortably.” The Gills were leading 2-1 at the time and moments after the disallowed goal - while Harris was taking his seat in the main stand following the dismissal - it needed a super double save from Glenn Morris to deny Elliott Nevitt and then Matus Holicek in stoppage-time.
