Derby day injustice

[Bluestar]

The poll/Hutchison one is a bit weird. My recollection is that at the time we were mainly accepting of the disallowed goal (in real terms I mean, it wasn’t anything like the sort of reaction to clattenburg etc) because most people sort of accepted he was too close to the free kick. The issue was that when poll explained it he didn’t say that at all, and so it very much came across like robbery.

The ball was blasted into his back. I was fuming at the time. The keeper chose to hit kick the ball. Hutchinson was retreating and not facing the keeper. It was robbery.

The kip of this .....unreal.

Always the victims, never to blame.

Ive just realised they only have Gomez and Matip as CBs left, both are injury prone garbo as well.

shame they let Tom Brewitt go, he was desperate for a game.

They can honestly do one, the amount I can recall just off the top of me head is insane.

A lot of the decisions that have went against us in this fixture have went on to cost us the game completely as well not just come away with a point like it wasn’t for them.

Van Dijk should have been on a yellow card and a warning within five minutes of the game starting. I'll be generous and say they should have had one red card from Mane / Robertson. Had those correct decisions have been made we'd have been in control of the game and the subsequent VAR drama would likely have been rendered irrelevant.

Yeah, I was fuming at the time as well. The keeper took the kick quickly in an attempt to gain an advantage, but did so in such a comically bad fashion that it went off Hutch’s back and into the goal. It absolutely should have stood as a goal, and Graham Poll later admitted that he got it completely wrong.

Dunno where this idea of us being accepting of it comes from, I’m still angry about it now! I was bloody livid at the time.

Just thinking about that has got me all riled again.
im off to take my blood pressure tablets.

Can hear the fume out here on the other side of the planet and I'm thinking that it might be something to do with the upper atmosphere, but I swear, it sounds like Angels singing to me!

The FA seem to be removing the special privileges and protections accorded to the dark side. Hope they're sincere and long may it continue.

I mentioned VVD two fouls in the first 5 mins to my RS and he said yeh fouls but he was rightly punished and weren’t career ending tackles. I was like hang on, didn’t even get a booking & that’s all just hindsight. Any bad challenge can end a career just so happens we were lucky and our players didn’t come off badly.

Just a thought, but looking at the billions of pics from different angles of THAT challenge, I'm astounded that Pickford didn't sustain just as serious an injury as VvD.
I know he can be a idiot at times but even he didn't deliberately intend to carry out an action where he could get a serious injury.

Heard a rumour
The premiere league will award Liverpool this seasons title due to van dykes injury

just the Kopite way ain’t it

 

[Tipp blue]

Hopefully this is just the start of Derby day injustice being evened out.. they've got hell to look forward too for the next few decades.

 

[Soverybored1878]

At the risk of sounding 'bitter'. If this was Michael Keane and he had injured his ACL in the same challenge from Adrian, I doubt we would have had the fume coming from the media and the pundits this weekend.

I am happy to bet my house that nobody would even still be talking about it.

We saw a different attitude from our players on Saturday. We showed a lot more mettle to get back in the game, twice. Let’s hope we see a different Everton hierarchy now. The narrative has to be changed. There wasn’t an injustice fir one side, you can argue that we had more injustices happen to us and they’re not even being discussed. The mabegement, directors need to be saying that’s it’s great to look at all the incidents on Saturday, but look at them objectively, and look at ALL of them. Mane (2) and Robertson are getting away with it here.
