They've had a look at the Chelsea penalty, Dermot Gallagher, who usually does all he can to defend his mates, said '100% not a penalty, nor was it a yellow card offence'. He said he wasn't surprised at Vinni's reaction to it and seemed quite at a loss to understand why Mr England had given both the pen and the card. It was as near as he ever comes to criticising a referee.

Stephen Warnock was quite unequivocal, 'Worst decision of the season' was his opinion.
