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

    17/5/26 Ev 1 Sunderland 3 Grim. Powderpuff players who wilt like stale lettuce. Ref seemed to let the game be played - unfortunately for us. Well beaten. No complaints against officials. Match Officials Referee:John Brooks Video Assistant Referee:Tony Harrington Assistant Referee 1:Simon...

    Garbage. Tired and lazy. In the bin.

    There is nothing wrong with being pedantic.

    2025/26 Everton Women - Super League & Cup Games

    Well offside. VAR even has it in for our ladies.

    Groucho's Fact Hunt

    To operate balls against the wall means to operate at full capacity. In many aircraft, the throttle and other levers have ball-shaped grips. When a pilot is operating balls against the wall, his control levers are all pressed up against the cockpit dials. With all levers pushed as far forward...

    Groucho's Fact Hunt

    Love these - here's one - swinging the lead... Before the days of sonar, ships would determine the depth of the water by posting a sailor at the front of the ship with a lead weight attached to a long rope. The rope would have a knot in every fathom (6 feet). The sailor's job was to swing the...

    Match Thread Crystal Palace 2-2 Everton - Sunday 10th May 14:00

    Defence is far too fragile and slow. Especially when Jarrod is missing. Panic at the Dicko seems to be a regular event. They also sit too deep and invite pressure which inevitably leads to shots and goals. We allow possession outside our area from every team - not just City who everyone allows...

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

    10/5/26 Crystal Palace 2 Ev 2 Despite playing 3 matches this morning and having to run from the hotel to the ground whilst giving fans a piggy back, Palace still finished much stronger than Everton. Ref was a bit whistle happy - only 2 bookings - Myko and Jimmy. No major controversies. Lazy...

    Match Thread Everton 3-3 Manchester City Monday 4th May 20.00

    He was definitely giving JP grief - it's what Guardiola does. Intimidation writ large. Thinks he's the second coming and has a god given right to win. Can't stand the hypocritical cheating fraud. Jordan was having none of his bollix though. Moyes should have chinned him.

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

    4/5/26 Ev 3 Man City 3 Gettting this out of the way cos I never wanna think about this game again. It was won - 3-1 with 6 mins to go. City in bits. Tarky and Moyes ballsed this up with help from awful game management / brain dead players and a terrible ref. Mystery time keeping and awful...

    Match Thread Everton 3-3 Manchester City Monday 4th May 20.00

    Shocking game management once again from us. To not see out that win from 3-1 up with 6 minutes left is criminal. I do worry that as a club we've always been soft - play too nice - follow all the rules - and end up with our fans getting kicked in the teeth from a variety of suicidal decisions...

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

    25/4/26 West Ham 2 Everton 1 I was at the game and the handball was right in front of us. There is no suitable explanation as to why no penalty was awarded unless Mr Michael Salisbury is either incompetent or a cheat. Probably both. Criminal. Match Officials Referee:Stuart Attwell Video...

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

    19/4/26 Everton 1 Lverpool 2 Derby game so I don't mind a ref allowing a bit of needle - but this ref seemed to allow it all one way. Gutted obviously - as we played some good stuff. Free goals from corners are the sign of a mentally weak side though. Do we have a set piece coach? Put the big...

    Last Film You Watched

    Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (2011) is on iplayer. I've watched this a fair few times. Cast is magnificent and storyline from John le Carre obviously flawless. Acting from all is sublime - Gary Oldman and John Hurt are superb - but I cannot fault any performance. Even Kathy Burke's brief scenes are...

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

    11/4/26 Brentford 2 Everton 2 Only saw extended highlights - we were SKY game of the day. Seemed to me the ref and VAR let Bees get away with a lot of pushes and niggly challenges whereas we were pulled up for everything. Should have had a penno when their CB grok blatantly pushed Barry before...
