Crawley Town head coach John Yems on the historic FA Cup run, Bournemouth being 'no different to what Leeds United had' and 'arrogance of the officials'

And Yems was pleased with his men for the spirit they showed and the cup run.

He said: "We have put on a good show, have beaten some good sides, and made a bit of history but today on the night we just weren't up to it.

"I told you all along we wouldn't give in but at the end of the day you pick the bit of paper up and we lost 2-1. We have just got to learn from it and move on."

Bournemouth looked dangerous all evening but a mixture of Glenn Morris and woeful finishing kept the Reds in it until the end.

Yems said: "They were no different to what Leeds had. They are an expensive side and they are paying out bundles of money and you can see the way they thought they won it and that's a compliment to how well we are doing.

"All we have to do now is concentrate on what we have got to do and that's move up the league. The boys are very disappointed because they thought we should have got something."

The Reds only had one training session since the Leeds win but Yems is doesn't want that to be a factor in the loss.

He said: "You can't use that as an excuse. I think we had two or three good chances. Glenn Morris I thought was man of the match, they could have had six or seven."

And Yems was disappointed with referee Andre Mariner. He said: ""I have to say the arrogance of the officials was beyond belief at times. I know the man is supposed to be a Premier League official but a little bit of humbleness [is needed] and the way he spoke to Lee Bradbury wasn't the best. That's what you get when you come to places like this and they think they are a little bit above themselves."
