Edgar Davids has accused the FA of trying to drive League Two Barnet to relegation.

Bees boss Davids made the astonishing claims after referee Keith Hill red-carded Kyle De Silva and Barry Fuller in the 0-0 draw at home to Dagenham yesterday.

Dutch legend Davids, who was sent off himself in the loss to Accrington Stanley two weeks ago, blasted: “The referees lately are not fair to Barnet.

"Do they want us to fail? We have a difficult game ahead at Wimbledon but you never know how the referee is going to do the match.

"I don’t know what instructions he’ll get from the FA.

"Enough is enough. I don’t like this that they are focused on Barnet.

"We already have a tough period ahead but we can’t have this influencing our team as well."

Barnet finished the match with 10 men after sub De Silva was dismissed for a foot-up challenge on Luke Wilkinson.

Then skipper Fuller saw red after the final whistle for directing a volley of abuse at ref Hill.

A furious Davids added: "The referee said Barry insulted him but I don’t believe that.

"De Silva’s challenge could have been a red card but Wilkinson’s earlier challenge on Jon Nurse was much worse."
