LONDON, March 14 - Chelsea coach Liam Rosenior accused the referee in charge of their 1-0 home Premier League defeat by Newcastle United on Saturday of focusing too much on his players' pre-match huddle when he should have instead made sure he got a penalty decision right.

Chelsea players have gathered in a circle around the centre spot of the pitch before kick-off in recent games to the annoyance of opposition players who feel they are encroaching on their space.
