Are we to well behaved?

[Gazdalf]

In response to the title of this thread. Our players are too well behaved in comparison to the so called untouchables of the corrupt G-14. But this is the price we pay for having PROFESSIONALS with professional attitudes who want to play the game for the love and not for the money. Unlike the pussies who cry as they feel they deserve everything and do not want to fight for success.

Ha ha yeah, but he claimed he didnt swear!

Not strictly true

He claimed he didn't call him a "[Poor language removed] cheat", he merely said he was "[Poor language removed] [Poor language removed]". which he ( poll) clearly is.

I agree Ged, but it seems to be effective, especially when Man Utd do it.

Its very rare you ever see Everton players kick off at officials. The personality of the squad just isn't like that. I don't think the likes of Lescott, Osman, Carsley, Neville, Yobo and Johnson would ever open their mouths if they felt a decision wasn't right, in fact, Johnson dares not even glance at the referee if theres any hint of a penalty appeal.

cahill and arteta do it

I've mentioned this before, are Everton players to well behaved?

Just watching the Reading Liverpool match (its 2-2 at the minute). Every decision that doesn't go Liverpools way, they are questioning why. Just then a questionable free-kick was given to Reading and three Liverpool players ran to the referee asking why.

I know its not right, I know as a whole its not good for the game but when other clubs are using it to their advantage then so should we. There wasn't one bloody appeal from an Everton player against Metalist when that penalty was ordered to be retaken.

So I pose the question, should Everton players be pressuring the officials more?

Now it may be because am a right argumentative so and so when I play football (actually got sent off for dissent when playing for University last year) but I definitely think Everton are too nice for their own good.

Just bumping this. Opinions?

ALL the players are massive shitbags.

Thats what comes from not being a bunch of dirty cheating scumbags.

They probably know they could be more aggressive and give refs more [Poor language removed] and get more decisions but its the the way our players play.
