All 3 of you are wrong.
So you say, it's ****ing shame it their decision that matters though
Seriously though, how is a Newcastle player jumping out of the way of the ball a few yards from the keeper not interfering? Hart can't commit to attempting to make a save until the ball's come through the players in front/around him.

Newcastle have been robbed and Tiote of possibly goal of the month. 
None of the players were active (blocking Harts view) or touched the ball, I think what has happened is that the Man City players have screamed that someone touched it and ref/lino without a good view has listened to them.

Pardew kicking off massively at half time, yellow cards everywhere. Great entertainment mind....
The linesman didn't flag initially which is fairly standard as they didn't touch the ball. He's not in a position to determine whether the Newcastle players were interfering with play. I assume the ref made the decision that they were interfering and checked with the lino to make sure they were in offside positions.

Weren't the rules changed to say a player is only interfering with play if he challenges for the ball?
