Listen, the goal was offside

BlackToffee · August 17, 2008

How the hell can Everton fans buy into the "respect / Get on with the game" agenda when we continue to get crap decisions which decide a game.

The winning goal was clearly offside, whaever interpretation of the rules you use, but hey, its only Everton. If it didn't go in / get disallowed, I would have said that we got out of jail, so poor was our performance for too long in the game. But it was again a poor linesmans decision which has cost us againt Blackburn.

But I feel that we are again going to be victims of ref injustice throughout the season - and this time, speaking out too loudly is likely to land Moyes in a lot more trouble.

Was it Jag? I dont want to unfairly criticise him but i thought it was him turning like a tanker

Yes. Funny how defenders tend to act like rabbits caught in headlights when that happens whilst forwards pounce.

I just knew they were going to score from it.

The Yak goal celebrations were ace btw, hurt myself.

We where going to get beat anyway, no excuses. They bossed the game.

Suprising, probably because we kept passing it sidways and backwards. I did think they they bossed the game to be honest. They where winning all the first and second balls and where alot more creative.

we were [Poor language removed] and deserved to lose, regardless of how the goals went in it was a fair result

Agreed was a bit dissappointed we didnt sneak a draw though, thought a draw was a lucky result but looked liked we almost got away with it, if Baxter had of scored it would have been a massive injustice to them. They did boss the game in the first half and there was nothing they could do to stop mikels goal really, we were lucky to come away from that game with the score as close as it was given our defenders performance

My thoughts EXACTLY.

The minute Yak brought that guy down with a silly foul, I said "Uh oh."

Reidy's Bottle Of Grecian · August 17, 2008

the foul was directly in front of me (was in upperbullens), it was sloppyness/laziness when he gave the ball away, and then shear petulance when he fouled the guy, they had just brought tugay on so you dont want to be giving free kicks away in his shooting range anyway, the yak has now got a yellow and cost us a point.

the offside thing......... bizarre that the ref missed it as he had been pulling us up for it all day, i was beginning to think there had been a rulechange or something that we couldnt get used to as we kept getting pulled and the signal being given was that the player had come back from an offside position.

No, poor defending cost us a point no Yak giving away a silly free kick
