Pulis has had a meeting with chief referee Mike Riley to put forward his grievances about his players being unfairly treated by officials.

The Potters have accumulated the most bookings in the Premier League, with 32 yellow cards and three reds dished out to their players so far this season.

The Welsh tactician feels his side are bearing the brunt of bad decisions because of their direct and confrontational playing style.

"I have spoken to Mike Riley this week," Pulis told The Sentinel. "I find the whole situation disappointing week after week.

"Look at the incidents where our players are being booked or sent off, then compare them with similar incidents involving others that are going unpunished. There was the Clark one on Glenn at Villa.

"All we have ever asked is to be treated the same as everyone else, but there are preconceptions about us that are unfair.
