Mike Jones, the referee who incorrectly awarded Darren Bent's goal for Sunderland against Liverpool on Saturday, will not officiate in the Premier
Bent's shot struck a beach ball thrown from the visiting section at the Stadium of Light and deflected past Liverpool goalkeeper Pepe Reina.
FIFA's laws of the game state "the referee should stop, suspend or abandon the match because of outside interference of any kind", meaning the goal should have been ruled out and the match re-started with a drop ball.
Jones will take charge of the Championship game between Peterborough and Scunthorpe at London Road.
His mistake has been widely criticised by a number of his former colleagues with Jeff Winter, Dermot Gallagher and Graham Poll all stating their surprise that such a basic error was made in a Premier League game.
Gallagher said: "It was a glaring error and it's difficult to fathom. For it to happen at this level and in such a high-profile game is unbelievable. Any one of the four officials should have stepped in."
great so we get the idiot in the championship he should be suspended and made to take an exam on the rules of the game.
Very bad night for british clubs all round. Liverpool shown they're clueless without Gerrard & Torres. What Rafa was doing bringing off Benayoun must've perplexed everybody.
Arsenal looked vunerable for the equaliser all of the second half, we never got out of second gear when we should have pressed on for the second
Madrid vs Milan dominated by errors by both keepers, bad defending, and Ronaldinho doing the outrageous yet again. Easily the most creative player on the night with Pato.
I cant wait till sunday for the big match ,so excited .Im hoping Liverpool get thir mojo back ,I mean they cant stay down much longer.And Barcelona need a win ,they were defeated first time in 34 games ,on tuesday night.So hoping their match in La liga goes good on sunday night too ,they are only one point over Real Madrid .Last weekend I was in the pub watching them play Valencia ,was all tackles ,with no score .
I think Newcastle will loose again and then hire Chris Hughton and then watch the team vanish in January then relegated by the end of the year.
Player injuries and suspension sis the one thing we can't have and we have a hat full. It makes me sick to think someone can run a club into the ground like this and get away with it
I will take that we deserved the win but we loose yet another player for being an IDIOT lets shake you by the throat what a **** but we are top so i guess Chris will get the managers job and we will be stuck with fattie twater until next season.
I bet we will loose Nolan or Smith in January if not both and then the fat man will have done what he set out to do and destroy the Toon.
COME ON LIVERPOOL ,this game is vital ,Torres and Johnson back training but we dont know if they will be playing.
I cant cope with another hammering.Chelsea made a joke of Blackburn Rovers today to make top o the League again ,I didnt bother watching it ,cos thats not entertaining football.
barca just won 6 1 yeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssssssssssssssssssssss
beat zaragoza .all over the gaff
2 by ibranovich ,3 by keita and 1 my messi by boyfriend
what a day and what a night
The circus continues at SJP the club is now off the market again and Chris is manager with 20 million going into the club to buy the fat c*nt Ashleys pies until he sells it
he has also putting the naming rights to st james park up for sale so he can make more cash for when he leaves. It's been our home since 1892 and that fat git has no care in the world for the club just his wallet
Something has changed within me, something is not the same, I'm through with playing by the rules of someone elses game. Too late for second guessing, too late to go back to sleep, its time to trust my instincts, close my eyes and leap....
Somethings I cannot change, but till I try I'll never know...
