A furious Redknapp laid into the East Sussex official after his 10-man side's late 2-0 defeat at West Brom, their fourth successive Barclays Premier League match without a win.

Redknapp said: "I couldn't even put into words what I thought of his performance."

The Spurs boss felt Roman Bednar's 83rd-minute headed opener should have been disallowed for a push on Michael Dawson by the striker. Craig Beattie added the second in injury time.

He was also incensed some of the treatment received by Darren Bent did not warrant greater punishment and he laid the blame firmly at Tanner's door.

He added: "When I walked into the referees' room before the game and saw who was reffing the game I knew what was coming.

"I expected that [performance] and it didn't surprise me at all. I've had him many times before and I know what he is like - he really isn't good enough.

"He is just a poor referee, unfortunately, and I've seen him make a mess of so many games before.

"I saw him when I was in the Championship and I thought to myself then 'Where has he come from?'. I never walk in after games and complain about a referee but this guy is scary.

"What can you do? Someone thinks he is good enough but he is definitely not."
