    In a world of obscene salaries etc, who is going to do the "right thing" ,
    when life teaches you that the only material reward you are likely to
    receive for doing so is knowing that you did the right thing.

    More so when you can guarantee that your PL rivals will not.

    Typical.
    Looks like it won’t affect most other clubs.

    The pundits have totally ignored everything else that was wrong with the decision. The commentator actually says when the free kick is given that it was wrong and we wouldn't be happy to concede from it. We did indirectly concede from it, but no pundit has highlighted it. The ref wasn't even looking at the incident because the ball had been played before the player threw himself into PEH.
    Has anyone explained why it wasn't offside (even by a finger nail )? The lines showed that it was. Again , no pundit has asked the question.

    Again it is a case of my corruption theory against Spurs.If we can s**** them over we will.

    On another note, regarding Leicester's goal conversion rate, it helps when you get 5 penalties in your first three games of the season.
    20 penalties awarded so far this season between 13 teams.

    I assume this applies for tonight's game against Chelsea.

    Carroll wasn't offside when they dropped the lines down to the pitch. Another Newcastle player probably was but he didn't challenge for the ball.
    I agree about the free kick. Any referee can miss an offence but giving one that never occurred should be a sacking offence as it demonstrates incompetence or bias.

    The line they drew did have him offside, but it appeared to stop at his arm. If it is incorrect I am not sure why they showed it. Also the player that was further forward was taking the attention of defenders in a central position - that is interfering with play surely.

    How do you know the mug operating the mouse to draw the lines on the screen is doing so 100% accurately or fairly, they hide behind a VAR studio and could sway marginal decisions any which way they seem fit, and nobody can question them. We see plenty of favour to certain clubs and none given to others on the pitch, so why wouldn`t it happen off the pitch also.

    Interfering with play is now defined in the rules and definitely doesn't include that.

    I expect refs to show bias towards the bigger clubs but i wouldn't expect them to favour Newcastle over us.

    And yet they did. The ball struck three of their players on the arm in the box and we didn't get a penalty.

    They were incompetent for sure.

    What you have to ask yourself is "would they be penalty's in the Spurs rule book".
    Don't forget, a ball hitting a players arm which is way above his head and out wide should never be a penalty, specially in the first couple of minutes :emoticon-0105-wink:

    No, what you've got to ask yourself is whether the rules are being applied evenly. They're not.
    This isn't a penalty, apparently:

    Well since Milner got his foot to the ball before touching the man i would agree with the decision. What do you think is wrong with it?
