Chelsea v Everton. 16th Jan at 1500.

[froggyted]

right lets not take this lying down. lets start all emailing the F.A and demand them to look into this. This was pure cheating from the ref.

Absolutely.

 

[BlueShark]

Oh FFS 4-3 Chelsea (pen Remy 125)

Stop it, I'm trying to fume here.

But well played sir

 

[thirdmantackle]

How is that not called?

 

[Eggs]

it's a whole different feeling when it's a robbery by the ref. if we had let them score a free header of a corner, fair enough but it was appalling decision. much different feeling than the bouremouth, spurs games, etc

...yep, it was a dreadful decision but we were 2-0 up and 3-2 up. I genuinely feel we are on the verge but I don't know the verge of what!!!

I wonder what the life expectancy of an Evertonian is.

John Terry "We were unlucky not to win the game"

He went to put a full kit on to celebrate winning the champions league when he didn't even play, so whatever he says doesn't count, the absolute [Poor language removed].

 

[Saaby]

Absolutely.

How do we go about that ?

 

[bretts angell]

Offsides are human error but bad timekeeping of that type can be nothing but cheating.

 

[froggyted]

Ref was just WAITING for their equaliser. If that doesn't warrant some kind of investigation into match fixing - I don't know what does.

Absolutely.

 

[BernieWright13]

I just can't believe it. Hurts like hell. Offiside equalizer in the 98th minute !

Hopefully we will get some luck in the cups.

Don't hold your breath mate.

"It's the hope that kills you."

Never has this phrase been more appropriate than during this season for Everton fans.

 

[Eggs]

We got ourselves back in front though, which is surely all that matters? what did you want us to do from that point? go on to lose? no didn't think so, so the whole "we threw a 0-2 lead" is a mute point because we got ourselves back in front and done enough to win the game

...in a way it makes it worst. 2-0 up and then 3-2 up regardless of the injustice of the equaliser we need to shut up shop.

 

[Lowste]

The killer for me today was the individual mistake fro Jagielka, this started the ball rolling in terms of Chelsea finding belief.
The second is a horrible deflection, the third is well documented.

The double substitution was positive and it showed we wanted 3 points and were not going to settle for a point.

Downbeat as a draw feels like a defeat, but not going to criticise RM as we went for the 3pts and an individual error when we were comfortable for me changes the whole feel of the game

I am sure there will be once again people critical of defending, but today isn't that day...

Just gutted

...yep, it was a dreadful decision but we were 2-0 up and 3-2 up. I genuinely feel we are on the verge but I don't know the verge of what!!!

like i said before if it had stayed 2-2 draw I'd understand some of the fume but we took the lead again and would've held on except for farcical officiating.

 

[Blu Bianco]

Yes, but we know refs.are corrupt, what's new? We shouldn't be making that corruption easier to pull off by being total spanners.

Correct. There are things we could have done more simply (and better) in the closing stages of many matches this season where we have thrown leads or draws away. Keep the ball, not to try to run with it aimlessly. Especially after throwing away that many points this way this season, you would think something would have sunk in!

As for the other matter, and to those that seem genuinely shocked at all of this favouritism, generally Chelsea's games are the first to finish when you're watching SSN, when they are winning. It shouldn't come as a shock to anyone that they will be the last (or one of the last) to finish when they are needing an equaliser or a winner, depending on the situation. Its the 'accepted' bias. Its very much like the inevitable penalty award that came when 'Stevie G (i.e. stupid name) somehow managed to tilt his head to face the official (even before he hit the ground!!!!!) in the penalty area, and make his whiny "ref" call and pained face gesture.

Its not fair, you may not like it but you can't say you're really surprised now are you?
