Consistency from referees at corners now?

[andylgr]

Within Gary Monks meltdown yesterday he raised a valid point about getting consistency from refs, but I don't mean it in relation to the peno we won because you will see players go down easily week in and week out. I mean consistency for the incident regarding their peno.

Now that one ref has given one for holding in the box then will other refs follow suit? Can you really see a ref giving a a penalty against Kompany or Terry? If they do become cosistent (althought I doubt they will) then we should see a penalty a game for fouling at corners. For instance how many times is Crouch held in the box and he gets nothing?

On a side note, I think Williams job on the corner they got their penalty from was to block Ryan off. Watch Williams and hes constantly looking behind him to see where Shawcross is and when Bony makes his run Williams sticks out a leg to block Ryan off.

The game could easily turn into a farce. For how many corners there will be in a game....that's the amount penalties we will see if that's the standard.

Gary Monk reminded me of Tony Pulis' comments about bias towards the bigger clubs and less justice for the smaller clubs. I suspect not many would class Stoke as a "big Club" but we Stokies have suffered similar unfair treatment and will continue to do so.

Will be very interesting next week to see how many penalties are given for Strictly Come Dancing. Equally interesting is will TV focus on anyone other than Shawcross.

100% no you can't give a penalty to swansea then not do the same for other incidents at corners.

Wouldn't be at all surprised if there isn't another penalty given for a foul at a corner.

It would be very funny if Swansea were the first next week to get a penalty awarded against them for holding

e.g. see holding of Peter Crouch before their pen award as a prime example
