Martin Atkinson to ref the Derby

[Fearthainn]

When 2 players square up and have a scuffle refs pretty much always book both players regardless of who started it cause a football pitch isn't a playground.

Barkley and Lucas should have been sent off.

But i guess cause he didn't give every decision to us we were robbed.

Boo hoo hoo, bunch of Mourinho's on here.

Haha

 

[Dithering Dougie]

Honestly did people expect anything else?

 

[dholliday]

it's about time our club grew some balls and stood up for ourselves instead of putting up with this sh*t year after year! absolutely bottled it, lucas got the same amount of yellows as barkley and lukaku who did nothing. played 2 mins of the allotted 3 because we were pummelling them.


we'll just accept it as we always do.

what else can we do, tho? damned if we do (via red card then losing the match) and damned if we don't (dropping 2 points because we hold back). the problem has always been ref-favouritism for the Sky clubs...it took almost 20 years for a penalty to be awarded to the opposing team at Old Trafford, for example.

 

[BirkenheadBlue]

Should have played about 50mins vs 10 men, and about 20 vs 9.

Gets really boring talking about refs after Derby games, but very hard not to with performances like that.

 

[Joey66]

An absolute disgrace again. Let his raging hard on for Liverpool referee the game.

Some of his decisions were mind blowing, Lucas should have seen two yellows he needs specs avers for both teams he was bad!

mourinho is constantly attacking them and he doesn't let it go. We never surround refs, our players should be rushing and screaming at him to get lucas sent off. This isn't rugby, these football referees have no balls whatsoever, they crumble under any sort of pressure. If they had balls they would favour a team who doesn't harass them, but they don't.

we should never let him back at goodison again, let's be honest, he's ruined the last two goodison derbies with appaling game management. he let them take a free kick as a through ball about 8 yards away from the infringement yet we had one pulled back for being a yard to the left. Just batter it in the media, don't let them forget about it.

Kevin Kilbane was to nice about him. Inexcusable missed call. Lucas taps McCarthey on goal straight red in any ones book. Poor,poor,poor.

Mourinho's in charge of a Sky club, that's the conundrum. A non-Sky club tries those tactics and you can expect harsh punishment.

kilbane's a nice guy, that's why. we are a club who hires these people, whereas those hire horrible mutants like aldo who are seething through their teeth their whole life.

 

[quasi modo]

Crap as usual but what did anyone expect?

If the punishment is being robbed again next time, we don't really have much to lose

 

[cronullasharks]

The decision to not send lucas off was mind boggling. Wouldn't expect anything different though

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

Lesson learnt from today, if you act like a shithouse and push a player then both of you get booked regardless of what the other player's reaction is.

I actually did notice that Jags McCarthy and Naismith all went after Atkinson when Lunas should have seen red

And you can call it a sure bet, that if the roles had been reversed, he wouldn't have hesitated to send off an Everton player...
