Could it simply be that 'Richy' (as you call him) is a blant 'diver' writhing in 'faked' agony most of the time and most referees IGNORE his play acting as it is so common place ?
Of course 'you are sick to the stomach after that'. Everton are very poorly run club whose fans think to get an unfair advantage by setting off fireworks outside the Brentford Hotel at 4.30 in the morning and racially abuse two of their players and their families after the game. What an example...
Everton are not doing a bad job themselves of striving to go down THIS season never mind about next. Everton is an example of a team who thinks it has the RIGHT to stay up. They are poorly run in comparison to the 'smaller' club Brentford.
