Best player out there today. Can't believe how well he kept his head through all the shit. Unlike Cabaye who completely lost it as usual and should have been off twice.

 

Yeah him and Anita bossed it up until the substitution.

Newcastle’s Cheik Tiote can’t understand disallowed goal

NEWCASTLE midfielder Cheick Tiote revealed he could not understand referee Mike Jones’ decision to rule out his stunning strike in Sunday’s 2-0 defeat against Manchester City.

 

The Ivory Coast international looked to have cancelled out Edin Dzeko’s opener when he drilled home from distance in the 34th minute, but after speaking to assistant Stephen Child, Jones ruled out the goal, much to the disgust of the Magpies faithful and manager Alan Pardew.

 

It appeared that Jones and his official ruled that Yoan Gouffran – who was stood in an offside position when Tiote struck the ball – was interfering with an opponent by distracting Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart.

 

“I don’t understand why the referee didn’t give the goal,” Tiote said.

 

“I think it was Gouffran who was next to the goalie, but he didn’t touch it. I don’t know why the assistant referee decided to give offside.

 

“That’s football, we need to accept it and go forward.

 

“I’m so disappointed today, but I think we played well and that’s the most important thing. We can take it on to the next game.”.

Yep class agin, Toure was niggling at him all second half too but he kept it together extremely well. Good battle between them, looked like they have a good amount of respect for each other.

That pissed me off. After Tiote got booked Toure was constantly trying to hack him.
