Another day and more disappointment from the effect that poor officiating is having on this Premier league season. Chelsea, Manchester City and West Ham who were all in the top 5 before play started were all victims whilst close rivals Southampton and Arsenal were beneficiaries. Penalties, dives and offsides were called incorrectly as we reached the halfway point of a wholly unsatisfactory season from too many select group officials. Chelsea players, in particular Cesc Fabregas, were rightly upset with Anthony Taylor's decision on Sunday Alex Song and Andy Carroll complain to referee Neil Swarbrick after Song's strike was disallowed
@highlight
Cesc Fabregas booking for diving against Crystal Palace was a travesty
@highlight
West Ham were very unlucky to see Alex Song's wonder-strike ruled out
@highlight
Papiss Cisse should have see red for his elbow on Seamus Coleman
@highlight
Cesc Fabregas was clearly tripped by Matt Targett and should have been awarded a penalty; instead he was cautioned by Anthony Taylor which was a travesty.
@highlight
Alex Song scored a superb goal which was disallowed by referee Neil Swarbrick under advice from his assistant, Matthew Wilkes.
@highlight
Manchester City were comfortably 2-0 up when Burnley scored a goal to get themselves back into the game but the scorer, George Boyd was clearly in an offside position.
@highlight
Everton will rue referee Craig Pawson somehow missing Papiss Cisse clearly and viciously elbow Seamus Coleman whilst waiting for a corner at St James’ Park – Cisse, who was offside in the build up to the next corner, then scored the first goal for Newcastle.
@highlight
Jon Moss missing Wayne Rooney clearly holding Tottenham’s Harry Kane to prevent him from competing for the ball at a set piece. A clear penalty which could have led to the only goal of the game.
The most controversial was the caution for @placeholder who will have that yellow card against his name which could result in a ban and the football association must be pressed to review this process.
@placeholder’s ‘goal’ from Alex Song provides the best debate for the day.
