Check out the 93rd minute penalty, it should never have been given.
That being said, I'll take the point.

Poyet was furious in the post-game interview. He's not upset that the decision was a mistake, he's furious at the linesman.
The handball occured outside the box (they showed a replay). The referee who was in great position (about 5 feet away) awarded a free kick outside the box. "I can accept if the referee is at another angle and gives it but WHY is the linesman running in from the sideline insisting that it's a penalty when it's not even close?"
Poyet: "You would never see the opposite happen, where the ref gives a penalty and the linesman runs in to say it's not, never. I would like to know the name of that linesman and how many betting accounts he has. Obviously he wants to be famous."
