Mike Jones is, and always will be, a very poor referee. You can almost forgive him missing the goal line controversy because he was let down by his linesman but to then pull Ben Arfa back when Newcastle are three-on-two with the Everton defence is simply unforgiveable.
Can't these officials just wait an extra second or two then make the decision? Its really frustrating... he's just done it again when Everton had come away with the ball.

I think Gary Neville got this spot on in this post-match analysis last night.
Referee Jones somehow felt he had got it wrong with the goal so he "punishes" Newcastle by pulling play back as they were going through with a great chance of scoring. Officials often say they don't "even things up" but I'm sorry, not sure that I buy that. How often do you see a dodgy free kick give to side A, the side B crowd howl at its award because its plainly not right, then amazingly, side B are awarded a free kick almost straight afterwards.

We were ace last night, should've won that by two clear goals and what class we showed in the tribute, very, very proud to be a blue today. Good for Merseyside.
I agree. The toon always give us a game too! Should have had three points but we've had some serious iffy decisions go our way recently so such is life...The tribute made me so proud to be a blue.
