I see the liner spotted Mirallas was offside to disallow a goal but not Terry!

Everton are so annoying/frustrating. Done my head in :(

Today result, it's no surprise 7/8 minutes injury time, I remember years ago sheff wed lead man utd 1-0 at 90 mins after 97 Steve Bruce had scored 2 whistle went, also we had our luck against Wimbledon all them years ago which was very dodgy. Chelsea are hovering near the drop zone the premier league need them so every point helps that's why the top teams get little advantages, Fergie got a lot. In the eyes of the premier league we are in the group of second best they wouldn't want to lose us but we won't get the breaks of the top teams. After all that we should be able to defend our goal, but every team panics when it get near the end to a match like this, Chelsea and even Real Madrid would. But as for added time 98 is alot and mostly it's no more that 4, I didn't watch the match was there any long stoppages?. I fear that the refs will always favor the top teams, it's been like that for years, if we were to get taken over by wealthy owner that would change, but at the end of the day going 2-0 up it shouldn't even have become an issue at the end, the players need to make sure the ref doesn't even have a chance of giving an advantage. Winning 2-0 going into injury time we win that.
 
True. It also takes 4 hours to play a 1 hour game.

Yeah. Great value for money and entertainment it is too. And just like rugby which doesn't take 4 hours to play, they have a clock that winds down time so precisely the correct amount of time is played. And no one in the crowd or on the pitch feels cheated when video replay technology is used. Just like no one now disputes goal line technology - so what was the fuss about with football accepting that ???
 
I agree in part. But surely our attention today should be focussed squarely on what appeared to be clear corruption? Even in the Bournemouth game the ref played 2 mins extra that wasnt warranted. The ref today was intent on playing as long as was necessary.
I also agree however I do your right to an extent we do get some awful decisions against big teams, however this is twice we have conceded goals in stoppage time. The truth is we should of won the game end of, we can't continue to drop points. We should of beat Bournemouth, Norwich, Stoke, and Chelsea however stupidly conceded goals in games. Yes I do believe there is a blatant problem with corruption in football, we would of never received that amount of stoppage time if we were losing. But until managers have the guts to speak out it will continue. Look at Clattenburg for example, Everton made it very clear after the derby they didn't want him to referee our games, and he didn't for 5 years. The same should be done with this clown.
