Grant reckons Friend should have given his team two penalties in tonight's 1-1 draw.

The Israeli was dismissed at the interval after remonstrating with Friend on a night of drama at Fratton Park.

Grant pinpointed what he thought was a first-half foul in the box on Aruna Dindane, and an infringement on Frederic Piquionne after the break.

There was also a dispute over Ricardo Rocha's red card after Friend dismissed him for a professional foul on Darren Bent.

But he was lifted by the never-say-die attitude of his players as Dindane scored a leveller deep into stoppage time.

Grant said: 'I need to fight a lot of problems, but I can't fight all of the war.

'But the players are an example for us not to give up.

'They keep fighting and they keep playing good football.

'But I can't keep fighting the referee.

'There were two clear penalties and they were not given.

'It has cost us. Someone has to do something about it.'
