Frustrated Jay Tabb hits out as Reading throw away another lead

Jay Tabb says Reading's habit of throwing away points is becoming a "joke" following another defeat at Wigan on Saturday.

Things may have been different had Reading been awarded a penalty with the score at 1-1 when Tabb appeared to be felled in the area by Maynor Figueroa, but referee Howard Webb waved away the appeals. "It felt like a penalty," said Tabb. "He hasn't got the ball, I've got a bruise on the side of my foot. If it wasn't a penalty then it should have been a yellow card for a dive, surely? "I think he's a good ref, he's been in the Premier League for years, but I think he got that one wrong. But even if we'd have scored it we'd still have given away more chances."
