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

[DOMNOLAN]

Going to quickly bump this thread so it’s ready

 

[DOMNOLAN]

Quite a clear case of corruption today

 

[Abertonian]

This game could be used as a case study for corruption

 

[WilliamBoo]

Two yellow cards swallowed

 

[Ming the Merciful]

Just stick the whole match in here.

Two yellow cards swallowed

Incredible that the ref didn’t book van dyke on Gana, Szobozlai on Ndiaye and gravenberch on everyone

 

[mahermi1]

Kavanagh is as bent as a ten bob note, he's been their 12th man today.

 

[pfim]

Gravenburch with 3 fouls in 13 minutes, no card.

 

[helpimonfire]

We should be used to the bias from refs for them by now. Seen it before and will see it again.

 

[blulouie]

Woeful corrupt referee.

 

[Frosty1878]

The ref has been terrible today

 

[Rollo Tomassi]

Not one yellow card for them today is just astonishing they were allowed to get away with murder by Kavanagh.

I genuinely don’t know how the foul by Grave Burch on Gana, van Dijk’s or the karate kick on O’Brien went unpunished.

Pickford being booked as well for questioning why it wasn't a yellow card, let's not forget.

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 lads at the front to head it away. When Beto and JB were on we coped ok.
