Hartlepool United manager Kevin Phillips says his side were unfortunate after Luke Waterfall penalty appeals waved away in Eastleigh draw
and on Freeview 262 or Freely 565
The referee waved away appeals even though an Eastleigh defender appeared to put two hands into the back of Luke Waterfall, who was up for a free-kick.
However, Aaron Jackson was nonplussed but just a few minutes later pointed to the spot for the home side after Nicky Featherstone was adjudged to have handled the ball in the area.

"He did (have two hands on him)," he said.
"From where we are it looked like he just pushed him over.
"Was he (the referee) ever going to give us one? I don't think so, even if it was stonewall.
"I've seen them given and I've seen them not given but being here in front of a home crowd it was never going to happen.
"That was potentially a penalty for us."
