Rory Delap fears an official conspiracy against Stoke City

Rory Delap says Stoke's players believe there is a conspiracy against them among Premier League referees after Alan Wiley ruled out Ryan Shawcross' 'goal' against Manchester City on Tuesday. Delap said: 'We have been told there are videos refs explaining what a foul is and it is Stoke players in it. Whether it's true or not I don't know, but it does lend itself to the thought there could be a conspiracy.' Are you Shaw, ref?: Ryan Shawcross heads the ball into the net but the effort was disallowed for a foul on the keeper Wiley rang manager Tony Pulis to explain his actions but stopped short of an apology.
