Chelsea v Everton. 16th Jan at 1500.

Leaving aside the offside (those mistakes happen, and it was easy to miss the flick on), once the seven minutes was given, it had to become 8+ after the jump into the crowd. I enjoyed that celebration, great to see his passion, but it was right to add time on.

Think about it the other way - if Costa had put them 3-2 ahead on 90 min, then spent a couple of minutes in the crowd celebrating, we'd have been blowing a collective gasket if the added time had stayed at 7 min. Remember, it's a MINIMUM of that time to be added.

We didn't kill it off well enough, that's the bottom line (though having said that, I would like to time how long Oviedo was getting treatment, seemed like a long time, but not sure).

Calling for investigations into bent officials isn't the way. That way lies RAWK-land...

The frustrating thing is that it would've stayed 7. You see it every weekend where referees blow up bang on the time regardless of what's happened. Always seems to be us on the receiving end when they don't.

Great watch that 2nd half, but the accusations of cheating and corruption are embarrassing and sound more than a bit rawkish.

It was great to see FM jump into the crowd when he scored what he thought was the winner but it was clearly the reason that the ref added on more than the 7 minutes originally signaled. The goal was clearly offside but it seems that the lino didn't see the flick on which caused Terry to be off as he was onside when the original ball was played, or he thought that it came off an Everton player. Unlucky but that's the way it goes. We have only ourselves to blame at end of the day as we should have had the ball down near their corner flag wasting time trying to kill off the game. Instead we insisted on playing it out from the back and inviting them on to us.

Would have taken a point before the game so there is no reason to be fuming, other than we again showed our inability to defend a lead. It was Bournemouth and Stoke all over again and it was disappointing not to take the 3 points against these nouveau riche beauts.

Biggest positive for me was Mirallas back in the side and scoring a superb goal. Long may it continue. Baines and Barry looked good as well, but Stones needs to cut out the showboating which is causing him to lose possession unnecessarily.

We are where we are in the league because that's where we deserve to be. On to the next one.

No matter how much you don't want to believe that there is,and has never been cheating by officials in our football , it's so blatantly there !! How else do you explain the dozens of Match Changing decisions that have gone against us in matches against the darlings across the park for example, over many many years??? Coincidence??? Not one kopite I have spoken to about this, can name a single incident that's gone against them in derbies(baring the Suarez disallowed goal recently),and yet in a blink of an eye I can name at least ten major decisions that have gone in their favour,weird is it?, but probably coincidence !

 

[Jimmy Flangemoth]

the players are weak and bottled it yet again. Bottlers they are simple as that.

The team needs a winning captain to kick them all up the arse.

"We only have ourselves to blame."

Fraid not.

Pure entertainment again for all wrong reasons...

Derbies are different. The Clattenberg Derby was the worst display of refereeing I have ever witnessed. The names Poll and Atkinson don't exactly bring to mind happy memories either.

The point here is that people are confusing corruption/cheating with rank incompetence.

There is some terrible reffing in the PL at the moment. Some of the decisions given in Wednesday night's games were laughable, in particular the Swansea player who was sent off for kicking the ground. lol And when you see the name Lee Mason as the ref for one of our games you know there will be problems ahead.

The standard of refereeing is poor, there is no doubt about that. But to believe that they are taking backhanders whenever an obvious decision goes against us is pure RAWK.

Which is why all goals with offsides should be reviewed by video replay. It's a billion dollar industry that continues to rely on incompetent officials

 

[SPOTTER]
