Stoke boss fuming 23:59 - Mar 3 with 3341 viewsKeithHaynes

I have to say, isn’t it about time after all the dodgy referee decisions over the years at Stoke 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Furious Stoke manager Michael O'Neill felt his side had been robbed of a point after a controversial injury-time penalty handed Swansea a 2-1 win at the Bet365 Stadium.

Kyle Naughton went down in the box and referee David Webb adjudged that he had been tripped by Jack Clarke in the 94th minute, and Andre Ayew slotted the winner with virtually the last kick of the game.

It boosted the Swan's automatic promotion hopes, after Connor Roberts had cancelled out Nick Powell's opener, but dented Stoke's fading play-off chances.


O'Neill said: "It was an incorrect call in my opinion. It looked as though he tripped over his own leg, only he knows if he dived, but the assistant on that side didn't give it. It was down to the referee.

"It's very frustrating because we are in an environment where there are no fans and teams are claiming for everything and putting officials under pressure and they need to be stronger.

"If 20,000 fans are in the stadium tonight I can't see him giving that. I've watched it back three times and I can't see how the referee could say he is 100% certain.

"It's disappointing. We hit the post and bar and the least we deserved was a point."

An error from Marc Guehi gifted Stoke a sixth-minute lead when his pass was cut out by Steven Fletcher and Powell thumped his shot past the helpless Freddie Woodman.

The visitors were level after 19 minutes when Ryan Manning's cross was volleyed home by Roberts from eight yards.

Tommy Smith's vicious drive thumped a post just before the half-hour mark, while Manning was inches wide at the other end.

With 49 minutes gone Fletcher hit the bar from close range and James Chester ballooned the loose ball over, while Angus Gunn made a great save to deny Roberts his second as Swans pushed towards the end.

But the Welsh side's first win in Stoke in 20 years was confirmed with the late drama, as Ayew made it 11 for the campaign.


Swansea manager Steve Cooper said: "I'll be honest I haven't seen it back on the TV but I thought it was a penalty at the time. It certainly looked a penalty to me.

"You are hoping a winner will come and you never give up, you keep going and that's what happened.

"We got our chance with the penalty at the end, we were passing our way up the pitch and we had our wide centre-backs getting in the box to try to create. We were just keeping going and doing what we do and in the end it paid off with the last kick of the game."

So he isn't a cheat?

In terms of becoming a parody of yourself, on here you are often regarded as a bit of a troll. Often unfairly in my opinion. However it seems the more people have leveled that at you the more you seem to be posting for a reaction. It's a shame.

2.People can think what they like about whomsoever they like .Their opinion will be pyssing in the dark.
3.If people honestly believe they can judge anyone at all as to what their motive for posting is,then they should not have a computer or least have access to thee forums.
4.I do not, like many ,post to look for chumships.Ive had plenty and the individuals have all but shat on me .Two faced kents that they are.
5.I do not post any longer to burst egos,which I did under a former username.Those egos were well out of control and needed reigning in.They never forgave me for that and it's why I got a ban previously. This owner has more nous and can see what is going on with many of you out there.

So ,hope that helps you understand

You are also not objective in this case, although you make out to be.

Well,I am afraid you too have failed at the first hurdle.

Look again and reflect.

I ,like you,do not have to justify anything at all.

So can call Naughton a cheat and Cooper a fraud (both based on nothing).. but you are to remain protected from any judgement regardless of what you say?

Maybe you will see the irony. Maybe you won’t.

Did O'Neil happen to mention John Obi Mikel's obvious dive in the 69th minute when he lost control of the ball and threw himself, rather clumsily to the floor, in fact it was so embarrassingly obvious he didn't even call for a penalty.

Naughton was given an arm tug as the Stokie crossed behind him and his foot was clipped ... at speed, knackered at the end of a game and showing a little desperation to get to the ball keeping your balance is very difficult. It was a foul, a foul in the penalty area is a penalty.
Why no crucifixion of Joe Allen's character for deliberately handling in the penalty area and getting away with? And, no extended thread calling Gunn a cheating thug for kneeing Lowe in the ribs and belting him across the head?
I think we know why.


I crucified him ! Or was that Spartacus??

Thankfully Gunn got paid in full just before the final whistle
