The Cucurella incident was completely different. This accidental rather than deliberate and was part of a challenge.

How does he accidentally grab a full hold of his hair?

 

[Blobloblob985]

Don’t get why anyone is moaning at the ref, done that to ourselves. Can’t hair pull, can’t sarcastic clap. Both should know better. Moyes should have made subs earlier too.

Oh i agree.

However they've were always going to focus in on it for the rest of the season.

But Keane is just stupid enough to just grab a pig pile of hair.

 

[Frenk]

Wow that was bad Mr Moyes. What ya gonna do about it? Develop a 4th wrinkle

 

[Tennessee Blue Mike]

29 points glad of this. Moyes needs a red for McNeil staying as long as he did. Self destructive

 

[D. Amokachi]

I am a Moyes fan but I lost patience with him tonight. Why play the same back four that conceded four against Brentford rather than the one that kept a clean sheet against Forest? Why give McNeil 90 mins to stroll around contributing nothing when Dibling and Alcaraz are on the bench? Baffling.

 

[JimEFC_2]

Hey at least he cant play Keane for a while

 

[Tipp blue]

This young referee from the championship could teach the older PL referees a thing or 2.

This did not age well at all.

 

[HalfTimeSayers]

That’s enough for me I think. Everything about that, ref, players, attitude of every facet of the club, manager, VAR, say it’s time for a break.

Unbearable. The sport and the club are nothing like I grew up watching.

 

[Fonzy]

Ref ruined the game we were still 1-1 with the team at the bottom of the division at home!!

Moyes for me getting tactics all wrong.

O’Brien is not a RB. McNeil starting over dibling terrible

 

[NorthernBlue]

That referee and VAR should be investigated. Outrageous decision.

Still laughing at the violent conduct call. Games gone

 

[irishtony1878]

He was culpable in 3 goals last game and just got himself sent off.
I advocated keeping him on as a 4th choice against the grain of what others said.But that’s pathetic and very obviously a red card.

GTF
any excuse to have a go at the whipping boy.
Best player on the pitch until that.

 

[Mozza1987]

Wasn't the first time. Seen plenty of players get yellows for that type of dissent and it's not like it was the first bit he gave - on a tightrope from the first yellow but refused to reign it in.

Absolutely idiotic from Grealish there.

If that's a second yellow then may as just pack it all in. Ridiculous

 

[Del-boy]

Not had a “home” ref for a while. Maybe the ground just isn’t as imposing as Goodison for the ref.

 

[EFCINLONDON]

Re the Var, it should be shown in real time. Then it's a nothing
