Is it McAllister-esque, tide turning material?
I wouldn't call it McAllister-esque. Jags didn't cheat.

The one where the shot hits his hands? You having a laugh?
How on earth can he block it in any other way than he jumped?He was a yard away from him. Jones for UTD at home to us last year is a definite peno; that yesterday is certainly not.
.......some are saying its the greatest ever goal scored in the kop. They don't like that, they don't like that at all so I think we should officially declare it. EVERTON'S PHIL JAGIELKA SCORED THE GREATEST GOAL EVER SEEN IN THE KOP END - official. Tell all your buddies in work, university, the pub and on the internet.
...glad the ref had the same opinion as you, especially in front of the Kop. It was a pen for me, arms above his head with sufficient distance between him and the striker.
When you're trying to block a shot wouldn't the arms be outstretched to the side, what's the point in deliberately blocking something that's flying over the bar ?
Hendo primed to take slippy's armband. Snarling at Rom to get up when he'd been pulled down in the box, harrassing the ref. Barging into the back of players and that somehow being a fair challenge. Next home derby we best be how I like my women, fast aggressive and nasty. Rom should learn a bit of grit from big Dunc.
It was a definite pen, but so was the one on Lukaku, which conveniently the RS have obliterated from their cultist minds.
I said on here last week we would get something out of it if we steadied at the back and controlled our passing more. For all their pre match "another 4-0" and also the hiding to nothing that was feared in some quarters didn't materialise. After the first twenty minutes, I thought we were much improved in passing and technique...one particular midfield move involving 3/4 players was pure class. It was a coming of age for the likes of young John Stones who can only go on now to be a rock for us at the back especially as Jags was on song defensively and seems to have got his confidence back, his fantastic goal apart, and theyre sorted as a unit I reckon. My big fear was regarding Tony Hibbert but that proved unfounded as Stirling was hardly in it with McCarthy backing up on the right so their drooling over how he'd rip him apart was the usual kopite static noise. Weve got Coleman, Barkley to come back and Browning in the squad, with Garbutt and young Chris Long on the edge of it. The futures bright. Unlike our noisy neighbours, we don't have delusions of grandeur regarding our status and don't have £120m to spend (or whatever they p'd up against the wall) trying to achieve it. Tell you what though, yesterday shone the spotlight on some things regarding them too. The final script wasn't as theyd read, with Jags's choker absolutely stunning them, manager, captain and the cult members.
