    Bad ref decisions - for and against - season 2025/26

    27/12/25 Burnley 0 Everton 0 A stonewall penno for handball not given to us. Unbelievably poor officiating. No question in my mind that a penalty should have been given by the hapless and corrupt Pawson. Even with his myopia and bias , VAR should then have referred him to a monitor. Absolutely...

    Bad ref decisions - for and against - season 2025/26

    20/12/5 Everton 0 Arsenal 1 Spot on. I can understand the ref not giving it but no excuse for VAR not recommending an on field review. Then he would have had to give it. More a VAR error than the ref - though he was poor anyway. Match Officials Referee:Samuel Barrott Video Assistant...

    Bad ref decisions - for and against - season 2025/26

    13/12/25 Chelsea 2 Everton 0 I was at the match so didn't see any VAR issues. Ref seemed to be card shy - certain bookings for Cucurella ignored etc. Ndaiye should probably have had a pen. Ref seemed to be going through the motions. 4/10 Match Officials Referee:Thomas Bramall Video Assistant...

    Match Thread Chelsea 2-0 Everton. Sat Dec 13th. 3pm

    Just back. Thought we more than held our own really bar 2 clinical finishes. We missed more opportunities than they did. JOB struggled today - Keane looked wobbly - and JAck wasn't really on it. Once KDH went off on 14 it was always gonna be a case of trying to nick it - but we came up short...

    In the 18/19th Century anyone with more than 6 windows on their building had to pay a window tax. Some would have windows constructed but board them up so no extra tax was paid. This is the reason we have the saying 'daylight robbery'. See also Clive Thomas and M Clattenburg.

    We Live in Time - 2024 Florence Pugh and Andrew Garfield. Romance / Feels type movie. Really well made and FP / AG are both excellent. Really tough subject to cover though.

    He's a top top talent but he's still too young for regular 90 minute action. It would be nice to be able to bring him on for last 15 / 20 mins in games we are comfortable in. Trouble is the PL is so physical and close that there's few games we can do that in. Definitely one for the future - as...

    What's your very earliest Everton related memory?

    Mine too. Jeff Astle. Grr. No one got any tea that day. Whole house in mourning.

    Echoes of our geatest number 8 Alan Ball. I have no higher praise to give. Charly as a proper 10 - with every movement on the front foot ( bar obvious recycles) really gave the team a perfect balance.

    Bad ref decisions - for and against - season 2025/26

    6/12/25 Everton 3 Nottingham Forest 0 Excellent performance from the team. Forest were no real threat bar one prodded effort cleared off the line. I was there for the first time at Hill Dick.Stupendous. KDH is like a little Alan Ball. Ref had a decent game - though live he seemed to miss a...

    2025/26 Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall

    Very talented player who is wasted as a 10. I've always seen him as centre mid. Very good in the tackle, excellent distribution and has an engine on him with pace when needed. Him and Grealish are on another level technically. Superb signing. Chelsea fans I know were gutted when he left.

    2025/26 Michael Vincent Keane

    Hear hear. Keane has been our best CH this season. You are 100% correct in saying a decent right back enables our whole defence to play higher and relieve pressure on our area / goal. An overlapping left back would also help. If Garner is played at RB and Rohl becomes the player we hope then my...

    Bad ref decisions - for and against - season 2025/26

    2/12/25 Bournemouth 0 Everton 1 Not much controversy. Ref was a bit picky sometimes and let the tackles fly at others. 3 bookings each team - bit soft really. Still not sure why Alcaraz booked and Tim / Myko pretty harsh yellows. VAR lads not troubled thankfully. Great 3 points at a graveyard...
