Are refereeing decisions finally balancing out?

Thomas, Poll, Collina, Clattenberg are the obvious ones for me, that's off the top of my head. Massive games, massive decisions, pretty much all inexplicable.
There are loads more, especially since VAR, where a 'clear and obvious error' has been ignored or taken to the extreme letter of the law. The 'well it could go either way Clive...It might seem harsh but it could be deemed a 2nd yellow/pen because there was contact. He's entitled to go down...' etc etc. We generally always come off 2nd best here. Then we have the ignominy of being one of only 2 clubs to have a player banned for conning the ref. So, what we are being told is that no other players from any other clubs have done this, aside from us and West Ham! No mention of the apologies from the ref association down the years. When Andy Johnson was denied stone wall pens week in week out thanks to Wenger accusing him of cheating.
Now it's ffp, dirty little Everton, cheating again. The sport is as bent as a 9 bob note. Maybe not in so much as refs having their palms greased, but each and everyone of those decisions that might get 30 seconds, or not even a mention on motd if it is us, rarely go against the SKY 6. However when they do, it's pride of place on Radio 5 live for 3 or 4 days after. You only have to look at the numerous rule changes to domestic cups the past 2 decades, the changes for TV, always in favour of the so called 'elite'. I am gutted that the other 14, and indeed the remainder of the 92 have not told them to eff off and formed a new organisation.
 
Their defender committed three bookable offences in the game against Forest, two after one correct booking but nobody talked about that they just decided to go wild about Doucoure pulling a shirt like what happens during every single corner every game of the premier league.

They need to clarify these corner rules or they will be giving a pen every single corner.
 

There have been far too many for years for them to even out. Even Allan’s red card are Newcastle a few years back. Never a red in a million years. When was the last time a player was actually sent off against us? I actually cant even remember.

Listened to the times pod today and again brought that up and not the forest defender, went on about how their number 9 was a huge miss and didn’t mention DCL and how it was forests worst performance and they should be beating Everton at home. Only Tony cascarino mentioned DCL and Myko playing well.

Again the narrative is we should just have enough to survive and it’s between us and the 3 that came up, we’d be mid table without the points deduction and thats lost on a lot of so called pundits

Good. Let the thick mongs underestimate us.

Lucas Moura last season. The one before was in September 2020.
 
I thought the Doucoure one could’ve been a pen, but we see them not given all the time.

Players getting their shirts pulled off their back during set plays seems to fly in games not involving a select few teams.

I’m surprised sky chose to talk about it for around half an hour when it weren’t even the worst bit of refereeing in that game.
 
I think the harsh penalty against Youngy, when the ref was shamelessly bullied by the VAR into giving it having seen it in real time, with it's own eyes and said no foul will work in our favour. You don't treat a legend of the game like that and I expect we'll get at least three favourable decisions from the corrupt officials by way of apology.
