The Prem refs no longer stop a game after a foul is committed,they let play go on if it favours the fouled against team,then take whatever action needed to be done, after that period of play has ceased.
Fortunately it didn't matter,and wont therefore be remembered. But City were through on goal when he pulled the game back and IF it had been a very important game it would be highlighted.

he wasnt fat and he's not unfit, he is also a prem ref
but i agree with your main piont, ndj clearly stopped the ball before playing it, strange decision

Matter of opinion - and its all relative based on ones own perspective........................basically,looked 'fat and unfit' to me mate!
And,I didnt say he wasn't a Prem Ref - did I?

I thought he did okay ........
he did miss the penalty claim when Kolarov's brain slipped a gear , and he thought he was playing basketball ... but overall i thought he handled the game pretty well , and i've see a lot worse referees.
