Match Thread Everton 1-1 Wolverhampton Wanderers 19:30 Weds 7th January 2026.

What did Jack get his 2nd yellow for then .

Clapping. But the red was for accumulating two yellows, not the clapping per se. Anyway, who honestly cares ?

 

[Mr Happy]

Yeah true haha, still, the red card came as a result of a clap.

Proper Redditor behaviour to pull the ‘um actually…’ defence

Facts are facts.

 

[ValBlue]

Facts are facts.

…the fact being he got sent off for clapping

Won THE last 2 games........... we would be 5th.

BBC about right:

"Everton's fans reacted furiously at the conclusion of a game that was low on quality but suddenly became high on drama late on. It was a mixture of anger at the dismissals of Keane and Grealish, but also a large measure of disappointment at another toothless, lacklustre display."

Moyes will disguise his awful team selection and lack of tactical change on the referees decisions.
Man’s got you all fooled.

 

[coollino]

Oh my god I've just seen Keane's straight red hahahaha

Auntie.
Balls.

Very ‘winnable’ games that seriously put you in the mix. Too scary for the manager and some fans sadly - everything is going great!

Although cheap red cards, I think they are both understandable. It’s on Everton players/moyes to take accountability, not to throw blame at the ref.

Keane quite clearly pulled his hair and although not “violent” under the every day definition, it is a red card on a football pitch.

Jack’s clapping was a silly booking if it was his first yellow. But to do it when already booked is just completely reckless. It is a yellow card in its own right.

That being said, a 1-1 draw at home against the worst team in the league (who seemingly have turned a small corner) is a very bad result. Bring on Saturday!

He’s meant that aswell

I think you need to relax, if I was playing I wouldn't want some tarantula legs getting in my face all game. Players use their arms and hands to stop players impeding their challenges.

If harry kane became a Rastafarian with his methods of backing into players, the other team would end up with no defenders.

I'm perfectly relaxed! I just like things to be correct!

There are loads of players with dreadlocks! They don't get pulled every game!

I cant get the vision of dreadlocks Kane out of my head now either. Thanks for that!

 

[blue to the bone]

As far as I know he got his second yellow for dissent. It could be for repeated dissent or just that one particular clap but either way it was likely for dissent.

He got the red card for getting 2 yellow cards.

Nobody got sent off for clapping.

He got it for clapping the referee giving him a free. Deemed to be sarcastic.
Don't be a pedant .

Had to be somewhere, so completely missed the second half. Can someone sum up how we give up a goal lead and lose two players to red cards? Is it incompetence, bad luck, or just another case of "Everton that"? (maybe all of the above). Feels like one half of football was played in one universe and the second half in another.

My take: even amounts of incompetence and bad luck. Wolves came out better in the 2nd half, but we were still the better side. Without getting a 2nd goal there was always going to be the chance they pulled something off and that's exactly what happened. Keane's red card was out of nothing, regardless of anyone's take of if it's valid or not. Once that happened the game was off the rails and that's what led to Grealish's red. Had neither happened, I think we would've ended up winning the game, but even with a 2-1 scoreline we'd all be talking about how poor we were to not put the game to bed earlier.

You’ve got to hand it to Everton, I was actually feeling very positive at half time. Then we have the most catastrophic self-destructive second half it’s possible to imagine.
