No you play the advantage, then if they are fouled again give the foul...whats the point of the advantage if the only way you can get that advantage is by scoring? Because it's the law of the game. The original foul is that which counts. Fair enough to Dean, it was probably a red card, but should have been pulled back for a free kick, as it wasn't advantage. Not actually true Jonny, if the advantage gets played and there's another foul in the box you give a penalty. I haven't seen this one yet though. It wasnt like it was a clip of the heels - advantage - foul - penalty, it was one long hustle and bustle between 2 players in which one went down only when he was in the area. Aye, you're right actually. It could have been construed as one long foul, meaning it was a free kick. Again, not quite true, if it's a continuous foul into the box, you still give the penalty. It's in the laws somewhere. Still haven't seen this one to comment but by the sound of it he's waited til he's got into the box then thrown himself over in hope. That is exactly what's happened. Was offside to begin with Yep, having just seen it, that's exactly what happened. If Heskey had actually been fouled in the box the ref would've been well within his rights to give the pen. Having given the pen I think he has to send him off which just adds insult to injury as it's never a red if the original free kick is given.

Sky just completely ignored it there on Football First. Showed the tackle, him getting booked, then went back to when the game restarted with only a caption for the substitution.

It does now

Really? I was always under the impression that it was where the foul originally took place. Mind you, it's been a few years since I went through the laws of the game... Aye it's in the 'advice on application' bit at the back. "If a defender starts holding an attacker outside the penalty area and continues holding him inside the penalty area, the referee must award a penalty kick." Although that does seem to encourage players to just dive when they get into the area.

This Stoke game has been a really difficult one for the referee to handle, so much niggle and constant dissent as well.

Tevez, 1-0.

That's the sort of tackle you make if you're not on a yellow just to kick the little twat.

Get in there! I love the way the commentators on Radio Newcastle blatantly didn't have a clue who'd scored.

49 points and a further 9 draws to add to our 7 already.

Rather hilariously though it leaves Man City down in 17th.

GTFI Anelka.

This.

Chelsea win please. Andy Gray cannot say Bosingwa.

Absolutely delighted. I don't want to single anybody out after that but the back 5 were fantastic.

Fucking yes!

Enrique showing just why Joe wants rid of him. Oh...

Get the fuck in!

Traore is awful.

Butt using his experience there.

Gerrin!

Good ball from Foy.
