Everton and Refs

[MrGrumpy]

For the second game in a row we had some terrible decisions go against us. I know we said it in the past but this is blatantly bad reffing, 2 tackles on Richy, Mings studs up, Gray pulled back.

Do we think it’s the new protocols or just targeting Everton

Lol

 

[nsno-chris]

Yes, it’s a conspiracy

 

[PhilM]

Bed.

 

[MrGrumpy]

Bed.

Your telling me the reffing hasn’t been awful? Worse then normal.

No, I’m laughing at you even mentioning a potential refereeing conspiracy against Everton. The referring has been bad, but that’s as far as it goes.

It’s the protocols and the fact our league’s referees are rubbish.

 

[Cmonefcsortitout!]

We lost through our own errors, but I can’t understand how we didn’t get a free kick when Gray was pulled back. The defender had his arms around him, the referee must have seen it, but gave nothing! He would have been through. Digne should have done the same!

There's nothing sinster. Pl refs are just morons

There no way that Utd/RS/Chelsea would have the reffing we had in the last 2 games.
Burnley did 2 red card tackles and didn’t even get booked, one wasn’t even givin as a foul
Today a studs up challenge. No card, grey pulled back, no foul given, clear foul.

Didn’t effect the scores nor do I think it a conspiracy. It’s very worrying.

The standard of refs has been awful for years, no conspiracy but doesn’t make it any less frustrating. Was it the world cup or euros a few years ago that there was no English refs, says it all.

 

[Richard Alex]

Well the Gray pullback was an obvious foul and red card
The score was 0-0
I think there’s a good chance the game would have been different outcome!!

Mings always gets away with it...probably cause he's an international now...similar to maguire...

The referees are still adapting to this 'light touch' policy and until they've ironed it out then there'll be issues like this; well, that and getting decent referees.

Looking at VAR and how that took a while to really become correctly implemented, and it's still not perfect. I also feel that people are getting carried way.

In terms of Burnley, for me the infamous Richarlison tackle by Mee was a yellow and nothing more. Wrongly, we got nothing for it, but it's not a red.

Yet, Struijk got sent off for a tackle that wasn't a red, while Son did a similar tackle (in fact, worse due to the vengeance) and his ban as repealed.

The real issue here is the inconsistency. You're right, some clubs might not have got those decisions, but I sincerely don't think it's intentional bias.

Yet booked Godfrey for tripping bailey bit of strange one I though

Burnley probably should have had a penalty on Monday.
Swings and roundabouts.
You take care of what you can control.
