David Moyes is justified in feeling a couple of decisions are worth appealing following the Irons defeat at Anfield in midweek.

The Hammers were hit by what looked a foul throw-in and a goal which came as a direct result of the ref getting in the way of play.

And asked by reporters about the issues in his pre-Bournemouth press conference the Hammers manager said: “I actually do think it is worth appealing. “My reason is that the players were unsure of the rules. 

“It might not be the FA but it needs somebody to be clear on the rules.

“When the referee blocks you from getting the ball and a goal comes from it immediately then you have to explain why.

“Also, it looks that most people in football are not aware that you can put your foot way over the line and as long as your heel is on the line then that’s acceptable.

“I think if you ask supporters they are all still of the belief that you can’t put your whole foot over.

“And if you think about the heel being on the line, quite often you have to take your heel off to elevate the throw.

“Education of supporters and players – and managers because I have got to say I wasn’t aware of it – is needed because players are saying they are not accepting that what you are doing is right.

“If the referee blocks your line to get to the ball, what do we do next time? Do we take the referee out to get to the ball?

“If we go through the back of the referee to get to the ball then what happens? Does the referee blow up for a foul on him? Swallow his whistle?

“I don’t see how you don’t referee with common sense.

“I think referees do but on this occasion he refereed with no common sense whatsoever.”
