At Goodison,Kevin Friend was the ref.who was the ref in the flip fixture? He absolutely bottled two penalty shouts.
meh, theyre all tosh. every single one of them.
Think we need to get over this one now, he screwed us over incomprehensibly in THAT derby but he's since reffed us and we had no fuss from our end of the decisions v Southampton. He will ref us in future games as well so there is no point working ourselves up over him every time he officiates an Everton game.
Time to let it go, lads.
He f'd up that derby. Bottled it when Gerrard was giving it loads and was never going to "even things up" for fear of reprisal. Same as all refs.
No corruption or favouritism on his part, just incompetence and was intimidated on the occasion.
He's a lot more experienced in big games now, and I actually think he is one of the best of a mostly bad bunch.
Just my opinion of course.
