Nobody got a red for clapping.

Are you on a wind up or what

I Seen it but haven't seen a clip or picture anywhere since.

No, I'm not winding you up. Nobody got a red card for clapping.

Had to be somewhere, so completely missed the second half. Can someone sum up how we give up a goal lead and lose two players to red cards? Is it incompetence, bad luck, or just another case of "Everton that"? (maybe all of the above). Feels like one half of football was played in one universe and the second half in another.

This is the problem with our team, our mentality. We have proper little bitch mentality. Instilled by the manager. I’m glad Jack sarcastically clapped at a poor referee. If we had a few more narks willing to leave one their opponent to break the game up or play the game like some of these other teams do, maybe we’d stop being made mugs of regularly by officials and other managers

Or Jack had an infantile moment that leaves the squad in dire straights. The ref was not terrible, Moyes and his team were. We really cant blame the ref.

Solid first half. They were better than us 2nd half and Moyes did nothing. Poor management.

Keane pulled his hair at 1-1 - nothing accidental about it IMHO
Grealish was gobbing off to the ref for 5 mins before, and should have been told by Tarks to shut it. Or Moyes should have taken him off… he was asking for it and the ref was just looking for the excuse to give him a 2nd yellow which Jack handed to him.

Just a mindless ‘performance’ - JOB at RB and Dwight McNeil gracing the left wing. I thought Tim was outstanding, Garner and Harrison too. We let that one slip through our fingers after Wolves changes tactics at halftime.

All round, not good enough and no excuses really. Fortunate to draw in the end.

Technically he's right.

2nd yellow for clapping.

Nobody got a red for clapping.

What did Jack get his 2nd yellow for then .

I suppose it could be a question of what is deemed "force".

I think you need to relax, if I was playing I wouldn't want some tarantula legs getting in my face all game. Players use their arms and hands to stop players impeding their challenges.

If harry kane became a Rastafarian with his methods of backing into players, the other team would end up with no defenders.

I’m not, I’m firmly blaming Moyes, the game was gone 20 minutes before any decision. I never blamed the ref once for the result

The red cards are completely separate issues.

[Dario Terracotta]

Just gotta say Tim deserves this MOTM by a long margin, but he was completely gassed at 70 minutes and should've been subbed off. And he still needs to get his stuff together when in the oppo box.

Can't complain at £9 million,look at what we have lashed out in other areas

 

[Papa Shango]

Did you even read it yourself? It says "A player who is not challenging for the ball". Keane was not only challenging for the ball, he won it cleanly.

Of course I didn't. I'm trying to win on the internet here!

Yeah fair enough, It will be the same principle though I'm sure (highlighted by the fact that players have been sent off for similar recently). It's not the same as accidently catching someone with an arm is it? You don't accidently pull someone's hair. He has a grab and then pulls. I don't get what he was trying to do, grab a shirt maybe?

Once VAR mentioned it there was never going to be any other outcome.

 

[ValBlue]

2nd yellow for clapping.

Yeah true haha, still, the red card came as a result of a clap.

Proper Redditor behaviour to pull the ‘um actually…’ defence

 

[ClausThomsen]

What did Jack get his 2nd yellow for then .

As far as I know he got his second yellow for dissent. It could be for repeated dissent or just that one particular clap but either way it was likely for dissent.

He got the red card for getting 2 yellow cards.

Nobody got sent off for clapping.
