Match Thread Everton 2-2 Man United. Sat Feb 22nd. 12.30.

Well Garner got a yellow for not touching a player who oversold dropping like he's been shot in the middle of the pitch, so no idea how it's relevant how much he's sold it - being pulled back by 2 players is a foul; a foul in the box = penalty. Result? "VAR overturned it, nothing".

Surely if it's a dive then Young will get a yellow card anyway?

Well you see challenges all the time that anywhere else on the pitch is a foul but in the box not given happens every single week. They’re looking at it and what they said is not enough contact for Young to make that movement I’m not saying it’s right what I’m saying is he’s given them the excuse. Again was a shocker from the ref today. It’s not cost us tho we’ve cost ourselves.

First half I thought we pressed well and deserved to be winning. Second half was infuriating to watch as we showed them far too much leniency and was terrible in possession, add some awful officiating and it feels like a loss.

To be honest I can’t wait until the season is over and done with.

Suppose it's Karma for the Liverpool game but we have been robbed there. Pickford was really poor.

Several things were bad... ref, not using subs earlier when some were clearly tired... but how on earth you add Pickford to them is baffling

…if the Derby felt like a win, that feels like a defeat.

The proverbial game of two halves with a shocking VAR to top off a poor officiating display. I was under the impression VAR are trying to go with referee on pitch call, this smacks of officials wanting to be bigger than the game itself. Shocking. You can’t tell me that’s overturned if it’s the other side of the park.

Ah well, another point. Gueye MOM.

Feels like a loss, even more compounded by that pen decision. Genuinely disgusted by that

 

[SLAVEN BILIC]

Hahahahahahah what is that decision? Disgusting.

Shouldn't be kicking off at the end of the game like that, kopite behaviour..

We can't talk about VAR when the did a good job the other week..

 

[Walter Ego]

Omg that is a disgrace. Showing the ref the tug but not the two shirt pulls is ridiculous. Worst var decision since Michael Keane trod on someone’s toe.

 

[Wat Tyler]

As soon as the ref goes over to look at it, forget it, you know he’s going to side with his mates.

It’s a disgrace.

 

[Blue Roo]

The use of VAR with extreme predjudice

 

[siddharth]

Even their manager can't stomach the incredulity of this outcome.

 

[NilSatisOptimum]

sitting deep mate and not seeing that part out

Sat deep because of the ref, can't the take risk if the officials are giving everything against.

Btw was that tnt or mutv commentary - hard to distinguish

2nd half they went to ferdinando for a comment on utd 5 times. Remind how often they asked him or fergusaon for a comment on Everton?

No, thought not.

There's no way around the huge bias towards the clubs with the most customers, tv companies pander to their base as they know where their profit comes from.

 

[Sharpattack]

If we couldn’t beat that ragtag of a team today we’ll never beat them. Bottlers to a man.

Who would of took the pen if it was awarded?

It was going to be Alcaraz. Snodin said Charlie Adam was telling a player to tell Alcaraz.
