Match Thread West Ham Utd 2-1 Everton. Saturday 25th April 2026

[AirMo]

Why is it we never seem to get a " homer" serious question, been every home game apart from Arsenal and I swear I haven't seen a decent ref or one that actually favoured us this season at least.

Mainly because we think all the refs are bad and every decision we don’t like is wrong.

Don’t get me wrong, they got the handball pen wrong, but West Ham should have had a pen for Garner shoving their player in the back, not even in the ballpark of being a challenge for the ball, but they didn’t get that either. I doubt many people will agree that should have been given, but it should have been.

Poor that, penalty all day, disgraceful decision, who was on VAR?

Sir Trevor Brooking

How exactly did they decided Pablo impeding pickford was accidentally contact?

He intentionally positions himself in front of pickford then backs into him to prevent him coming for the ball..

And the handball? Theres literally no excuse...

The ref was an obvious homer, twice we won the ball back clean only to see him give fouls ...

With v.a.r available there is simply no excuse for the incompetence of the referees in this league...

Not sure on that one, but the handball is a disgrace, yet again.

I would like someone to show the players the header against Brentford at home, two against spurs at home, Liverpool at home and West Ham away.
They are all the same goals.

How do you fix it? Put the biggest player just off the front post and head the ball away.

No mate not near enough contact, I thought the West ham player, played for it. For me since the introduction of var, refs seem terrified to give a decision, reffereing has got worse.

The question has to be asked. Why are we so vulnerable from crosses. We've got 2 6ft 3/4 in centre halves yet we can't defend our 6 yard box. The keeper is about 6ft which is small by today's standards. He is glued to his line perminently. There's something wrong somewhere.

My daughter just messaged me, she’s as fuming as me about that pen. I’ll say it again, probs cost us Europe and millions of pounds - for a blatant handball

How has it cost us Europe? It’s one decision. what about all the poor decisions the manager and the players have made all season?

 

[Andy Gray Diving Headers]

Blatant penalty but I can't help but think that if the penalty was awarded, and scored to make it 1-1, we would have sat back again and lost 2-1 anyway. Perhaps I'm just being a bit pessimistic.....

A terrible game of footie today.
KDH is my MoM.

On the bright side, all the "Moyes out" boys will be going to bed happy tonight.

I want Moyes out, but I’m definitely not going to bed happy having to watch that pile of steaming mediocrity.

Could Alcatraz,dibling,Rohl,Aznou been much worse then some of them starters don’t think do

We have been all season. I recall it started in the home Spurs game where they peppered us with corners under our crossbar. We've struggled ever since and many teams have taken advantage of us.
We should have sorted the problem out ages ago. Pickford is great but he is weak on crosses. So our big centre backs need to be more bullying..its happening most weeks now

He shoved him clear in the back and stopped him when they had a promising attack. We were lucky. I’d want that if it was done to Beto or Barry at the other end.

This is what I mean though, fans, ALL fans not just us, view the game through a tinted lens. That is why we always feel we are hard done by, sometimes we don my think we should but we never recognise when things go our way, or the same happens to other teams.

It literally cost us points ffs

Like wise all the closet kopites who want ‘Moyes in’ so little old Everton stay in their mediocre lane while claiming real Everton fans actively want to lose games.

They don’t want a successful Everton.
