Disgruntled Albion manager, Tony Mowbray, admitted he was left bewildered by
In an incident which happens week-in, week-out in matches across the country the Baggies were penalised with The Hawthorns crowd left in shock and amazement after Benni McCarthy scored the resulting spot-kick.
The South African striker's afternoon was short-lived however after being shown his marching orders by Jones in the 36th minute after picking up his second yellow-card after a dubious deliberate hand-ball - another decision which shocked Mowbray.
"Let's talk about the first ridiculous incident in the game," Mowbray fumed.
"You prepare for the game all week and then find yourself a goal down due to a decision that you never see on a football ground.
"I was sat in my office before the game and watched Everton versus Fulham.
"I saw Fulham's big centre-half crawling all over the back of Fellaini and everyone saying that must be a penalty because it would have been a foul anywhere else on the pitch.
"But referees never give those decisions in the box.
"Even if the cameras show there was a tug or a pull by Ryan, it's never a penalty. Referees do not give decisions like that.
"I'm bewildered.
"The sad thing about football is that the so-called experts will look at the incident again and say Ryan's definitely pulled McCarthy's shirt - yet you don't get them.
"It just doesn't happen in the real world.
"The official seemed to think it was a penalty kick, which is very disappointing.
"I can understand the dilemma because you could say it was a definite pull by Ryan and all such incidents should be penalties.
"And if you want 7-7 games, that's what you'll get.
"It's just disappointing that this kind of decision happened on our watch.
"I'd have preferred it if I was sitting at home watching Match of the Day and it came up in another game!
"You need to have consistency and I don't see it.
"Going back to the incident at Everton, I think Andy Gray said that 99 times out of 100 it is a foul outside the box.
"But referees don't give it because it's in the box.
"For me, It wasn't a penalty.
"It was a ridiculous decision.
"But we have to live by it and get on with it."
While upset at the misfortune handed out to the Baggies, Mowbray was equally as shocked with the decision to send off goalscorer McCarthy.
"It was never a sending-off in a million years," Mowbray added.
"If it had been against my player I would have been sitting here giving the same sort of opinion.
"I don't think there is any room for that.
"This is the Premier League we're playing in.
"Decisions like that spoil football matches.
"I would suggest that McCarthy got pushed for his second yellow card.
"I was expecting a free-kick against my player."
