Martin Atkinson is a cockgobbler.

Bill for once we are in complete agreement.

I am still speechless to explain how he saw a red card in the Rodwell challenge, other than Suarez's Oscar winning performance. If he never does another EFC game it still will not make up for killing the game off when we clearly the better team

He should donate his gameday paycheck to the Everton Charity fund, is what he should do.

What, both the match fee and the betting kickback........

More I look at it, was Swarez even going for the ball? It was long gone by the time Swarez ran into Rodwell.

Now that I've had a power nap, I'm more concerned about it affecting Jack's game.

this is an issue now, the lad was just starting to look confident again, the run of games he was building could be lost to satisfy a refs ego.

I was trolling for some easy rep with that one.

Maybe he was watching Suarez expecting him to stamp on Rodwell, and because the ball was so far away from Suarez he completely missed rodwell getting the ball?

Not trying to defend him, just a theory mentioned to me

he is Clive Thomas's lovechild, got to be. Anyway else at the famous Bryan Hamilton disallowed goal game?
I was also at the Graham Poll disallowed goal derby game. When we gonna get a break?

All the stills show Atkinson ONLY watching Suarez which means he wasn't doing his job properly and was reduced to guessing whether to award the card - now if he has an agenda with Everton after the Man U game that's a different call altogether but he's plainly not fit to referee at this level if he can't even watch what's going on.

If he was only watching Suarez, it's still not a red. There really is no explanation for what happened.
