       Rosenior really is living up to the ‘David Brent’ persona that
       so many people have tagged him with. Saying the players wanted
       to crowd round the ball to respect it; what a load of complete
       and utter tosh.
       Rather refreshingly, a lot of fans on the radio phone in
       earlier, were actually on Tierneys side rather than Chelsea
       [/quote]
       By the way Rosenior is behaving he wouldn't recognise or
       experience respect if it reared up and bit him on the arse.

       Much like the actions and precedence that Chelsea have set since
       Boehly came in, and the spend of nearly half a billion quid
       circumventing all realms of honest practices.
       A rotten club to the core.

       referee' during the ipswich town match? [emoji15]
       they seem not to have learnt their lesson [emoji2]

       Hackett has been shouting out saying Tierney should have carded
       the Chelsea captain before the match for the centre circle
       cuddles he was caught up in…
       “I was disappointed by Tierney’s reaction. He appeared to be
       caught by surprise, but he shouldn’t have been because he’s been
       around for a long time.
       “My reaction would have been to get the yellow card out, issuing
       that to the captain. It seemed a little pre-planned by Chelsea.
       It was unacceptable.”

       One of the unanticipated advantages of the multi ball system is
       presumably that teams could be given one each to respect,
       prostrate themselves before, etc, in their own half without
       getting in the way of anybody else.

       I’m pretty certain that Tierney is one of very few officials who
       stands at the centre circle before kick off , if that is the
       case I don’t see why he should change his routine when Chelsea
       have a entire half of the pitch to have their huddle , but I
       agree it doesn’t look good on the face of it as if Chelsea had
       been given a controversial penalty the conspiracy theorists
       would have a field day

       It’s sad that it has come to this, but there will probably need
       to be an inclusion in the laws that say clubs can’t have a
       huddle on the halfway line.
       Chelsea did it against Villa, and Villa weren’t too happy (think
       it may have been Villas kick off)
       Ultimately, teams will end up fighting fire with fire, and
       saying they want to huddle around the ball in the centre circle.
       Then what happens?

       Reviewing RefWatch, I too cannot understand why Newcastle didn't
       get a penalty. When you are holding a player for a prolonged
       period of time in the box and never ever look at the ball, you
       should be penalised. It was not as if there were other players
       involved. Bizarre.

       Telegraph has reported that in the prematch briefing to both
       clubs that Tierney would be standing in the middle and that
       Chelsea were not to form a circle there but in their own half.
       Either the message wasn't communicated to the team or it was an
       act of rank disobedience and disrespect.
       In Chelsea's previous match v Villa, Villa fans protested at
       whar Chelsea were doing and the PGMOL noted it and instructed
       Tierney to stand on the centre spot after advising both clubs as
       to what he would do and his expectation of the players.
       I cannot warm to Chelsea especially after their recent fine for
       past misdemeanours, acts which enabled them to recruit quality
       players and win titles.

       Surely it is not necessary to make a law about the huddle. There
       is absolutely no point because, as with throw-ins, corners on
       the opposite side to the AR, retreating at free kicks, holding
       heads when struck lightly in the chest. going down when they
       feel 'contact' , simulation etc., etc. ad nauseam, it will just
       be another law which players will flaunt.
       Never mind, it will give IFAB something else to consider  in
       their quest to confuse fans. They have certainly been fairly
       successful up to now.

       In that case Tierney should have at minimum cautioned the
       captain. I wouldn’t have had an issue had he cautioned every one
       of them.
