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

[johnjoeefc]

Whether it was or wasnt, we didnt deserve to win anyway. Should never focus too much on single incidents that are give or take

Care to explain the difference with these then?

KDH hands are high relative to his body because his arms are bent at the elbow. The Burnley players arms is very close to his body so just his hand is extended. I don't think either should be pens, the KDH one is more of a pen though although there isn't much between them.

The rules talk about proximity. If anything the Burnley player yesterday was further away so its more of a penalty.

The inconsistency with the decisions is farcical at times.

MOTD was hilarious, listening to the fat head Rooney wax lyrical about Wirtz for 5 minutes (100% the producer was in his ear piece telling him to big up Wirtz for as long as possible) yet when it came to Everton "yeah Wayne, talk about how that was 2pts dropped for Burnley but don't discuss the pen".

It's laughable. It happens far too many times at Everton because we allow it, we're just a timid, weak football club still trying to find it's backbone which went missing nearly 40 years ago.

We should have folded as a club after the Palace game in 22

It's very consistent. In that we are on the brunt end of the decision every time.

And to add insult to injury they will wheel out that baldy arl on Sky to justify it.

It’s not even about should it or shouldn’t it be for me, it’s the inconsistency that I find most frustrating.

Yeah,week in week out he justifies why a decision was given against us whilst every time again clarifying why it was correct we were not given a major call, no-one ever says on there "well another one against Everton,or they didn't get,I wonder when they may get one themselves?"and without sounding like a broken record,our manager doesn't do us any favours with his "dignity"/tolerance of all this

Yep they are either all penalties are they are all not because otherwise why have rules in the first place

The more I watch the slow mo in post #565 the more laughable anyone’s attempted defence of it is, never mind ‘Everton fans’ denying it.
He moves his hand towards the ball. Might have been reflex as he was about to be blammo’ed but that’s neither here nor there.
He moves his hand into the path of the ball.
If that isn’t hand ball I’m really really not sure what is.

I am certain and have been now for around seven or eight years going back to absolutely blatant decisions,eg Delle Alli handball for Spurs at Goodison,Keane penalty given at Brighton against us,there is an agenda,it happens far,far too often it seems almost every game us Evertonians have our heads in our hands screaming "whaaatttt?"there is consistency in these big decisions,we don't get them!!!

 

[Sheedy's right knee.]

I’m just watching that charlatan on Ref watch, Gallagher is saying a reckless challenge is a yellow for the keepers challenge on Gorkeres. Remember the Allen incident against Newcastle in the middle of the park. I would love to hear what he had said about that one.

What about the ones we got away with? Doucoure throwing forests defender to the ground in the penalty area. Tarkowskis dangerous tackle against macallister. Thats just off the top of my head. Swings and roundabouts, you need to look at both sides of the coin. Pretty sure i read somewhere that last season we benefitted from bad referee decisions overall

 

[f.t.r.s]

Surprise Surprise, no mention of our pen on ref watch. But no agenda bias right?

Granted,but for every "decision" we have actually got I can guarantee you double/triple have not or gone against us and that is being generous.

Just saw this.
The club don't even kick up a fuss either to make it headlines.
Alls Moyes had to ask the reporters was if the Ref didn't like Everton and it would have been headlines news.
Our club is filled with nice guys from top to bottom, even our strikers are big monsters but never intimidate anyone.
These decisions will go on and on and on because no one says Jack about them.
The PL really is corrupt and Sky are their partners.

That’s the of the stats though isn’t it? Stats wise that doesn’t hold up. Unless you think the people preparing the stats are biased.
