Quote:
Referee Mike Jones has been taken off Premier League duty this coming weekend after his howler in disallowing Cheick Tiote's thunderbolt against Manchester City.
It vindicates Alan Pardew's (and everyone else's) view that Jones got it badly wrong. Unfortunately Tiote's goal remains chalked off, the score was still 0-2 and the three points are still City's....

Probably no doubt later decisions he made he also factored in. Are the referee's deliberately making these cockups now they can't get goal line decisions wrong anymore? These season thus far has been absolutely shocking for decisions, diving and the usual nonsense and more so against the big clubs as usual, West Brom getting robbed at Stamford Bridge was a travesty.
But what can be done when top managers are hypocrites and defend divers before then criticising diving, see David Moyes or Jose Mourinho.
