Coates"I've never heard a more one-sided view from a pundit and we are right to complain about it," said Coates this afternoon.
"Hartson was a disgrace. He's a big fan of Swansea and their manager... and it showed."
Whether Garry Monk likes it or not, it was given. It probably was soft, but we've had our fair share of things go against us in the past.
"Peter Crouch has arms wrapped around him every single game and Lineker doesn't say anything about that.
"I watched what he was saying with my wife and said to her 'You watch, there'll be a reaction to this.
Then we had some classic, classic sex"

www.bbc.co.uk/complaints/complain-online/I've tried to make the complaint from the view of any football fan so as we are not just seen as whinging Stoke City The BBC does have a responsibility to give a balanced assessment of incidents like this, if they decide to invite an ex player from just one of the clubs involved, then he should be professional enough to comment in an appropriate way. This is not a live commentary, producers, presenters, guests, they all have time to consider their comments and appropriate language At any point did they mention on MotD that Hartson is actually a fan of Swansea? His views were presented as impartial opinions of an ex-pro, with in reality they're of a Swansea season ticket holder. Shocking. Absolutely right..............bias of the highest order. I made a complaint to the BBC first thing this morning in fact and would encourage others to do so.

Hartson TwitterJohn Hartson @johnhartson10 I have nothing against Stoke, certainly Nothing against Mark Hughes or Victor Moses I am simply making a comment on an incompetent decision. J ohn Hartson @johnhartson10 What is all the fuss about if a player takes a dive anywhere on the pitch and wins a penalty or free kick then that is cheating!! Correct?

I've seen this stat quite a lot over the past 24 hours. Is there a defender who has played more minutes than Shawcross since 2008/09? - I'm struggling to think of a more ever present Premier League defender in terms of years in the league and injury record during the period. Is there a defender who has done more 'defending' per game than Shawcross during this period, he was camped in his box for the Pulis years! It's probably a penalty per 30 games - which doesn't seem at all excessive or noteworthy to me. I'm sure I read somewhere that Koscielny has conceded 6 since 2010... in just 126 games. Shawcross has significantly more games and only conceded 1 more... Don't let the media find out that... They might voulez-vous all over themselves. Is this what you are referring to MH? metro.co.uk/2014/10/06/arsenal-duo-laurent-koscielny-and-wojciech-szczesny-are-biggest-penalty-liabilities-in-the-premier-league-4894649/Surely that can't be right though - 2 Arsenal players top of the penalties conceded table in the last few years !!!! This table was produced as at 6th October, so Ryan now equal with Szczesny on six since 2010!

Chappers doing a good bit of trying to justify his own rather feeble performance on MOTD2 last night. 10 out 10 for Mr Savage ...never thought I would say that.

What exactly is Coates going to achieve by this? He's protecting his players who may not get the rewards they deserve for being fouled because of this witch hunt. If he plays it right, I'd like to think he could ruin Hartson on mainstream media!

For the record Hartson's rant was very biased and he was almost crying at one stage, but we surely cant be defending the dive can we?

I'm quite happy to have passionate pundits like Hartson He meant every word clearly. Needed some one with a Stoke viewpoint though. As in a well considered rebuttal of 'Fuck off John you daft cunt'?

If he plays it right, I'd like to think he could ruin Hartson on mainstream media! Or he might just prolong the media attention for a few more days and make sure Moses doesn't get a sniff of winning another penalty this side of April. I'd take that if I don't have to see or hear from Hartson again though.

The club has taken enough shit from MotD over the years, and where has our dignified silence got us? We need to fire a shot across the bows to let them know we won't be the butt of every shitty allegation going. Absolutely...We need to fight them all the way. Doing nothing is not an option. Everyone needs to complain...Stoke have had enough shit of MOTD over the years.

Love having a figure like Sir Peter at the club. He feels it like we do and long may it continue.
A nice long rendition of "John Hartson, you're a wanker" at Southampton would be nice...

Diving is the scourge of the modern game, there can't be a true football fan anywhere who would ever defend it.
The question for me then is did Moses fall as a result of contact from the Swansea player, or did he fall to try and ensure a penalty was gained?
The only person who knows the answer to this is the player himself, who I'm not aware has spoken on the issue.
John Hartson may have let his emotions get the better of him, but are we saying we want to live in a World where people are not allowed to comment on what they perceive as an injustice?
The real issue here is not about Stoke City, Swansea, John Hartson, Peter Coates or the BBC, it's about trying to get in place a system that takes diving out of the game, so all players know there is no gain in doing it, sadly that is being forgotten with talk of bias/libel and other over the top reactions.

Very noble sentiments. 'The question for me then is did Moses fall as a result of contact from the Swansea player, or did he fall to try and ensure a penalty was gained?' The same applies to Bony for his penalty as well. I'm assuming you agree and like most of us you are equally as baffled at the hypocrisy from the media that this hasn't been pointed out.
