Stoke boss Tony Pulis unhappy over disallowed goal
Disallowed goal should have stood - Pulis
Stoke boss Tony Pulis felt referee Lee Probert was wrong to disallow Tuncay's goal as his side lost 1-0 to Everton.
With the score at 0-0, Tuncay's strike was ruled out for a push on Leighton Baines and Everton capitalised to earn victory with a goal from Yakubu.
Pulis said: "It was a very, very poor decision. It doesn't help when you don't get proper decisions.
"You can't keep bleating about it but it's not Tuncay's contact that makes Baines fall."
Pulis believes Stoke have frequently been on the wrong end of decision by referees this season, adding: "I'm really disappointed with the disallowed goal. It's a really poor decision which has gone against us again."

The contest between two teams in mid-table was fairly evenly contested, and although there was more quality about Everton's build-up play, Stoke had chances of their own and generally defended well.
However Pulis was disappointed about his team's inability to stop Yakubu ending his early season goal drought.
"I thought it was a very even game. It was tight and when you get opportunities in tight games you have to take them," added Pulis.
"For the goal Everton scored there were two mistakes by Danny Collins and Abdoulaye Faye.
"We have had three really tough games this week. We didn't get back to Stoke until 3.30am on Thursday morning.
"Then to come to Goodison Park, which is always a tough place to come, and give the performance we have done, we are very disappointed not to come away with something."
