Newcastle were robbed of 1 point v Man City

Newcastle United were robbed of 1 point versus Man City as referee made that stupid decision v Man City of disallowing that awesome Check Tiote goal and that was a disgrace.Gouffran was not hindering line of sight of Joe Hart and he wouldn't have been able to stop that strike even if he had dived to his left.

I am a Chelsea fan but I am not saying this because Manchester City is a title rival of Chelsea but because I am calling the match as I saw it.If that goal had been allowed to stand as it should have been right then I reckon Man City would have gone on to lose the match in my opinion.
I am a Chelsea fan but my second team is Newcastle and I love Newcastle as its a fantastic football club with great traditions and great fans.

Also 1 point can be difference between Newcastle and club that finishes in 6th place above them.

So sadly Newcastle were definitely robbed of 1 point for sure and that could have a big affect on title race as these 3 points might be the difference between Man City and the team that finishes second.

Views?Fellow football and Newcastle fans.

Do you think Liverpool were robbed of a penalty at Stamford Bridge?

Decisions happen, the best team always wins the league.

It was definitely a goal, but City would still have won if you want to look at it in the most objective way possible

I want to say that that should have been a penalty for Eto fouling Suarez and Oscar should have been sent off for that stupid two-footed foul on Lucas.

You can’t dismiss the fact that City scored a second goal as irrelevant and at the same time presume that Newcastle would have held on for a point. City scored 2, Newcastle scored 0. Even with the Tiote goal, they would have lost. Its basic maths. To be honest, Newcastle were lucky not to have at least 1 player sent off

Cabaye should have been sent off, yellow carded and proceeded to make two challenges later on that would have been a yellow card had he not already been booked

Zabaleta should have been red-carded shall I say and Man City scored in 95th minute when Newcastle had every player attacking to score the needed one goal to equalise the match.

Do people forget the game would have changed had the goal stood?

Exactly Postman Van Persie.The way Newcastle played when that goal was disallowed was insane and imagine if that goal would have stood!That might even have seen Man C ity caught out and Newcastle scoring more goals due to the onus on Man City to score.

If you think that Goofy wasn't 'hindering' the sight of Joe Hart, CR7, you have obviously never been a 'keeper
Bearing in mind the fact that Tiote ( pronounced 't wat' in his homeland ) is probably the dirtiest/nastiest player in the league, justice has been done, anyway
