[aglee]

Oh christ, it's holgate!

I've got that t-shirt

 

[KaiserEFC]

So you’re coming off a season where officials were really under the microscope and 10 minutes into a game on opening day and a players picked up a pretty bad injury because they can’t blow the whistle.

Godfrey

Tit!

 

[Thomasc]

You couldn’t kin make this up

 

[Northeastblue]

Godfrey shouldn’t have played the pass to no man’s land in the first place

Oh turn it in.

 

[DL100]

Hopefully not as serious as it looks

 

[Alanbileysfeathercut]

Well done

 

[Izzy1878]

Another injured player caused by officials not blowing or getting the flag up for a corner. When are they going to change this ridiculous rule?

 

[tommye]

Proper Everton that.
Sake

K'in hell.. ankle??

Looks like it. Might be best if it actually is a clean break. Ligaments are the worry.

[Brett Angell Delight]

Poor sod. Trying to atone for his own error after the whistle should have long gone. Rotten luck.

 

[Fansince1988]

If the ref had been doing his job injury wouldn’t have happened, that ball was a couple of feet out.
