What makes you think you need a head injury for a ref to stop play?
Oh right....the all knowing media who constantly says so.

I just saw Adebayors interview on Sky.
He made all the points we have overt he season, about decisions going against us, his goals ruled out for offside when he is 5 yards onside etc.
Nice to see a bit of passion, sadly lacking by many yesterday.

The picture is a spoof!
The goal shouldn't have been given on 3 accounts:
1) It was a clear foul by Terry on the cross immediately preceeding it
2) The ball clearly doesn't cross the line
3) Even if it had the first player that it hits is terry who is offside as there needs to be 2 players playing him on and only BAE is

Why did he and the rest of those in blue in/around the box celebrate then? Oh yeah... because Chelsea are a bunch of cheating c***s and always have been!
As I said, above, I suspect that the ultimate reason that The Dick Atkinson gave that was because he was totally unsure but thoght it must have been a goal because the Chelsea players celebrated.
Itis shocking: Interesting Dermot Gallagher article last night, where he says refs are inculcated with the attitude that to miss something is forgiveable but to see something that isn't there is not (or words to that affect).

And the common denominator: they are all decisions going in favour of the Sky 4 and against us (and just the tip of the iceberg - topical).
It is. We could do with the old clappy emoticon. I am honestly sick to death with all of these incredibly dodgy decisions going against us, over several years, that are not being cancelled out (they just bluddy well are not). I get these urges to write incredibly long, detailed and angry letters to the FA, and to Dan Levy, telling him he should go to war over it and we will all back him - but suspect they would lock me up as a loon. The situation is so bad that my immediate reaction, as it happened yesterday, was not that the lads could get themselves back in it, but that they should just walk off and forfeit the game and the club and the support should sanction it. It feels like the only way we can get any kind of recompense for all of these goddam awful decisions, because the FA sure as hell don't give sheeeee-ite (and you can add to that the public tapping up of our players).

He is on loan to us and yet he clearly seems to care - I like him more.

The most disgraceful thing is Atkinson wasnt sure, so he just went on the basis of players celebrating as an indication of the goal, how f***ing retarded do you have to be, if you are not sure, you cant give it, how weak are you? but whats funny is he missed the rugby tackle by Terry right in front of him, his linesman then misses the offside, but somehow they manage to see a ball cross the line with four players not even behind the line and give a goal.
Now i have no idea what would have happened if that not had been given, we cant speculate, we could have gone on to lose 5-1 anyway becuase of old gun ho 442 Harry at the moment, but there is no doubt in my mind to give a goal like that, that was not even close to being a goal would crush you mentaly, especially with the state of mind our club is in at the moment (Will he, Wont he blah blah blah).
Oh poor Atkinson feels terrible does he, he will still get paid his salary, but the masses of people who turned up to Wembley paying hundreds of pounds for the priviledge have been robbed of it being a fair spectable and contest becuase of the ineptitude of someone who gets paid to make fair decisions. As a poster said above, missing something well you can exscuse, giving something that wasnt there is something that je should pay for, mabe he should compensate the spurs fans for their troubles.
The descision wasnt the only factor, even though we played ok first half and didnt deserve to be 1 down, when we were 2-1 down and Harry had his 442 masterstroke you knew it was over, if we had lost 2-1 then the point is something for debate, but to then get hammered 5-1 it is easy for Chelsea to say it didnt matter, like they are doing.

Even an amateur referee wouldn't give a goal under such circumstances.

Remember the last North London Derby at Highbury.
Yeah, they raved about it because we scored a goal against Arsenal and there was a 'head injury'.

Pity the NOTW closed down, a dinner between the fake sheikh and Atkinson would be very revealing I think

Exactly. And if you look at the rule for a sending off for a handball it specifies 'denying the opposing team' where as this rule talks about a singular 'opponent'. As I said earlier the only reason Cech isn't sent off is because Bale is closer to the ball than a Chelsea player but does this alter the actual foul that was committed on the attacking player with the ball who was about to score?

This is what they were saying on ITV, but I don't think it's right. I can certainly recall instances of advantages being played and the ref booking an offending player once the play has finished. Cech committed a red card offence, so surely should have gone regardless of what happened after the advantage was played.
