I've seen a few of them saying how the media was crying for an Everton win. I'm sorry, what? The absolute state of commentary over the game says otherwise

Mcmanamann was literally celebrating all their goals yesterday, you could hear him on commentary saying yes or making sounds.

Pickford is a bit brain dead at times but he did not mean to hurt him just like Son didn't mean to snap Gomes ankle the mainstream media practically made Son the victim at the time and we had to accept it

It's understandable that Red pundits and supporters are outraged, and like you I can discount their views as unbalanced and take some satisfaction from their outrage.

However, I am a little concerned that the "stir" can have an impact in our future games, which has happened before with certain players being labelled as dirty or indisciplined, and more likely to be punished for even minor incidents.

That won't be an issue because goalkeepers don't often get in situations where referees can penalise them, apart from time wasting and penalties which have to
be given for a real offence. You can give soft penalties but I doubt that any ref' would feel the need just because it's Pickford.

Not everybody thinks it was an intentional foul.

Is this not about the horse race then?

As the saying goes.

Live by the sword , die by the sword.

I can't say I will lose too much sleep
Yawwn. Can't say I will lose too much sleep over this. Hope the lad recovers unlike poor Geoff Nulty when s""" house Case went through his knee

Yep, I was there at the time and it was a bad tackle, fully meant...I would never wish an injury on a player, but I’ve seen too many terrible challenges in these matches anyway.....

 

[peteblue]

TBF he got the ball.....

TBF he got the ball.....

In the same way that Jags got the ball in our opening match against Wolves a couple of seasons ago. Can't remember what happened there...

 

[Foot Long Hot Dog]

Guess what? Nope he wasn't...

And worse than that, afterwards he claimed there was absolutely nothing wrong with the challenge and cried that the booking he received for it had earned him a one match ban.

On one angle the ref is clearly looking at the tackle and didn’t send off Pickford, he didn’t mean it and it’s not a horrendous awful tackle as every one claims. It was clumsy. Son tackle on Gomes was on purpose, he lost his head and broke Gomes ankle yet... he’s not like that and got away with it..

Ah .....but think about poor Son's state of mind .

 

[MrGrumpy]

Pickford been cleared and will face no action as it was dealt with at the time

 

[Tennessee Blue Mike]

Can't believe it won't be in his head you know how he is. City and rest will be quietly appreciating him as the other lots defense has now become a wreck and they are a wounded animal and they know it.

Seriously, somebody who knows how to should put the clips of those injustices on YouTube. Never mind small time, it's about time we grew a pair and starting making more noise about those things.
