Chelsea v Everton. 16th Jan at 1500.

Still as mad as a lorry

 

[Khalekan]

At least Hiddink admitted the Terry goal was offside and for that my respect for him has gone way up.

Neither Wenger or Mourinho would have "seen" it

agreed.

He came across as a real decent fellow.......too nice for that shower of beauts.

 

[Khalekan]

It's about consistency though mate. Terry went and celebrated with the fans and didn't get a booking as Mori did, when it should be an automatic yellow.

He was booked.

And yet we're still only four points from where realistically you could expect us to finish (7th). There's plenty of time left, IF, we can get a run together.

This season we could have realistically expected to finish 1st. The league is wide open with nobody showing any signs of taking control.
Our keeper and defensive lapses have cost us massively

True mate, but at the start of the season you wouldn't say 1st was remotely possible, so it's all about perspective. Coming into the season I expected us to be top 7. I'm still optimistic we can get to that.

 

[BlueToff]

He was booked.

Fair play on that then - I'd seen numerous posts stating otherwise. Still, the time wasn't added on.

I'm all for blaming the squad/manager if they'd had a shocker like at Bournemouth, but this time it's all on the officials.

 

[BlueToff]

agreed.

Really respected us as a team which is nice to see. He knew they'd gotten away with it and they could have easily been battered. Ah well, it is what it is.

Reminded me of Wenger's comments after the 2-2 draw when we took the lead on full time and then they equalised. We outplayed them that day too in the snow. A managers reaction straight after a game tells you how fortunate they feel to have come away with something.

It's about consistency though mate. Terry went and celebrated with the fans and didn't get a booking as Mori did, when it should be an automatic yellow. The ref also did not add on anymore added time on top of that for the near 2 minutes that Chelsea celebrated.

So, why did he add the time for our celebrations? It shouldn't work like that - the rules of the game are that stoppage time is allocated based on the stoppages within 90 minutes - not in injury time itself.

Disgraceful performance and an absolute joke of a linesman. Martinez will pick up a fine for his comments, but if Mike Jones and his team are reffing in the Premier League this coming weekend I'll be very surprised.

Terry was booked.

The referee cannot add two minutes on if there are only thirty seconds of time left, can he?
(And how would you have felt if Chelsea had scored again?)

And 'injury time' is part of the original 90 minutes 'playing time'. The fourth official announces that there will be a minimum of, say, two minutes added time.

Forget the fact that the Terry goal was after the seven minutes, forget the fact that Terry was offside, what I want to know is :

Why can't we close out an effing game, it's bloody annoying !

 

[evo1878]

He was booked.

And then they restarted and immediacy the whistle was blown with no further added time for him jumping in to their crowd. It stinks!

I don't think it works like that. If there were 5 seconds left when Terry put the ball in the net, you can't turn that into a minute, say, to
allow for the celebration

When Funes Mori scored there were 7 minutes left to go and you can't let that time keep running while there's no play. If you could Everton
could've kept celebrating knowing they were running the clock down.

Well we scored in added time - so he really shouldn't have added that time on mate. Simple.

As I said, it's consistency. Stoke had a load of chances right at the death yesterday which resulted in numerous pauses for corners, and a sub from Arsenal. That game stopped bang on the allotted time.

Oh, I agree.

We made one blunder for those three goals......the first was pure Keystone Coppery from Jags and Timmy.

The other two were down to sheer bad luck and bad officiating.

I wouldn't get too worked up about no more time added on......for all we know they might have scored a winner
