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.

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.
