You mention all this, why not mention the Modric DIVE,, he pulled his leg away b4 making contact, there was no contact.You got waht you deserved. NOTHING!!!!!!
Shocking PNP you should also mention the Kaboul foul in the box and the blatant corner the ref missed.
Clueless.I give up with this imbecile, and please learn how to use commas.
Thanks.
I know I joke around a lot, but I'm not being sarcastic. Even Whelan KNOWS it's a penalty hence why there were no protestations and why he put his hands on his head and why there were hardly any Stoke players crowding the ref and moaning about the decision.
Not that I need to, but I've watched the replay about 5 times and each time I've come to the same conclusion. Blatant pen, shouldn't even be up for debate.
If that was, say, Mata and a Stoke defender did that in the penalty box and the ref gave the decision against Chelsea, you'd have been furious.
Whelan stuck his leg out and got nothing of the ball. The contact was minimal, but he got the man and not the ball. Foy had no choice but to give it.
I'm saying it was a stonewall dive, as are a lot of people. You can't say that about Mata either, so easy to say something like that after the game has finished and personally I wouldn't have been annoyed, I'd have been annoyed at Mata. If Drogba had done that today everyone would be slating him.
'Contact was minimal' - I believe that is the problem with the game today.
Oh come on every player does it and when your kicked in the box you go down 99/100 it's been taught in football for yrs.If you can't see that he caught Modric you must be in the minority coz just about every hack thought he did.
Whether Modric goes down or not is irrelevant.
The defender kicked him and got nowhere near the ball.
That's a foul.
Nothing else is relevant.
Just because everyone does it, doesn't make it right. When you say caught, it makes it sound a lot worse than it was.
1822: Stoke boss Tony Pulis: "Let's not talk about the referee, let's talk about the football. We got a little bit of luck but you can't fault our players, they really deserved their luck. It was a cracking game for everyone to watch. We came off on the right end of it [the luck] but other weeks it's gone against us.
Says it all really.
Says it all really.
That's just it, the contact wasn't anywhere near bad enough to make him go down.
Here's an example:

Do you believe that's a dive?
That was a clear pen. He caught him. You watching what you want to watch.

What's really annoying about this is that the next team to play Stoke will get the benefit of the ref's calamitous game today, because the chief ref will give all the rank and file a massive kick up their arses and instruct them to get wise to Stoke's rugby team tactics.
The only positive from this game is that (a) we don't have to play Stoke away from home again this season, and (b) the lads will be furious at the injustice of losing today's game that they'll go out and slaughter the next team.
Oh, yeah - nearly forgot...
...and we're still above Arsenal, Chelsea and 'Pool

Really jerky video. Can't tell.
Looks like Lampard just throws himself down over Pienaar's leg though, which would be the offensive player initiating the contact, if there was any.
Absolutely nothing like the penalty today.
He doesn't get the ball. I personally think it's a dive. Going down when you've BARELY been touched pisses me off and I can't stand players doing it. Anyway let's not dwell on it like you've said, what's done is done.
No it wasn't, but it's a situation of the defender not winning the ball and giving minimal contact, which is a similar situation to todays.
And you forget to mention that Stoke's first goal was after a hand ball by Crouch.
