I caught up with MOTD2 today as I was out on Sunday evening. Alan Shearer, when analysing the game, says he thinks March would have got it.
They also said Alonso was lucky to stay on the pitch, and that's without showing the elbow on Knocky's nose. It was the pullbacks they showed.
I wish someone like Paul Barber could send a report to the referees association detailing these things. Referees must be accountable. I know they're human, and can make mistakes, but when it is so blatant, then a club has a right to make representations.
The decision was correct, but it was the West side linesman who flagged so it must have been over the line, or else he wouldn't have seen if he was in line.
What is in dispute, is the Chelsea player picking the ball up and throwing it 10 yards further forward to take the kick.
The linesman should have spoken up about that elbow. It happened right in front of him.
Chelsea got double the number of free kicks we did.
And how do you get a free kick taken for offside in your own half? Atteell watched Chelsea pick up the ball and throw it 10 yards over the halfway line.
