Mad we're 4 points off 5th.

Let's not go there though

"I think this imaginary rule is something we should accept and move on".

I suppose it could be a question of what is deemed "force".

Don't worry, we won't be!

 

[Davidoff]

Where did I say violent ?

It’s the rules …. If the guy had short hair like Garner and someone had hold of it going up for a header … it would be a red card yeah? So you’re saying this one shouldn’t because he had long hair?

People whinge about consistency, the ref had no choice when told to go to the monitor .

This match is on Moyes and nobody else

So what's his red card classed as?

 

[when i score we riot]

Just gotta say Tim deserves this MOTM by a long margin, but he was completely gassed at 70 minutes and should've been subbed off. And he still needs to get his stuff together when in the oppo box.

 

[ClausThomsen]

Behave mate if that's a red

Doesn't matter whether I think it should be a red or not. I think there are a lot of soft things in football.

I'm just saying it wasn't a terrible decision by the ref as it was the only option available to him as it stands.

Did you even read it yourself? It says "A player who is not challenging for the ball". Keane was not only challenging for the ball, he won it cleanly.

 

[Rob17896]

Right. And I'm saying, absent a clear intent, is it truly violent conduct worthy of a straight red?

I'd be hiding my eyes if a Wolves player were given a red for that tonight.

True. It was a booking but the real issues are..
McNeil- championship player
Keane - Great professional but too limited and too old.
Tarks - Error prone and championship player
O'Brien - Modern day carthorse. Essential in the eighties, waste of time today
Moyes - Gutless dinosaur who needs to go end of season. Can't believe he played McNeill and fails to see football has changed. Patterson is always a better option than a carthorse.

 

[Dario Terracotta]

So a hair pull is now violent conduct yet Hwangs challenge is not?also yes totally stupid from Grealish but I am not convinced he walks if his shirt is light blueI'm falling totally out of love with the workings of this game especially with what has gone on with us and that bent organisation,speaking entirely as an Evertonian 55 years since I was a nipper having a season ticket, I'll always be a Blue obviously but I think this will be my last.

 

[Ged G]

How is it petulant? I'm asking whether your statement of 'adrenaline' being an excuse for a player making a poor decision can be applied as an excuse for refs making what is viewed as poor decisions?

No sarcasm, no intent to belittle, I'm not insulting you. It's merely a counterargument.

And a 3 match ban, too

 

[blue to the bone]

Pulling hair and clapping are worse than this btw

 

[Blue Roo]

All this anti moyes is stupid
Think where we were before he came and look what he inherited
BUT we need a CF and RB this window and hope Senegal get knocked out Friday

Nah would never wish that on Illy and Idrissa, and the Senegalise.
Besides its making it more clear game by game the shambles Everton is in without Ndaiye and how much more work needs to be done in the transfers.
If Pickford and Garner get injured now...

Nobody got a red for clapping.

 

[ToffeeTim]

The home form remains absolutely rubbish

Needs to change ASAP
