REF FOR THE DERBY

[Big Fat Sam]

The penalty record in derbies genuinely makes me fume. Works me up like nothing else. When I compare Gerrard's dive and subsequently having Hibbert sent off to Lescott being manhandled in the area... ahh... need to stop! <throws laptop at the wall>

Come on Dowd lid, play fair, that's all we ask.

I'm gonna whack some money on a penalty and a red card if I can. Obviously penalty for them, red for us, probably McCarthy or Ross.

Best in the league. Take no **** from anyone. Fair

Two words....we're screwed

Is right.

We know how it goes.

I hate him a bit less than the other. Doesn't exactly mean much though.

As good as it gets. Come on Mr D you know what this needs, a sensible, fair handling - oh, and a couple of dodgy Everton goals naturally!

I'd buzz my tits off if we done them through dodgy reffing. I can't remember a single time it's ever happened.

The record books show that Everton-Liverpool has produced 20 red cards in the past 15 years, more than any other Premier League fixture.

Me neither and yet I can think of at least 10 games that have been influenced in their favour. They keep telling us these things even themselves out. If that's the case we have a good 10 years to look forward to.

Obviously The Rat will get them a penalty, then it's 50/50 as to whether the foul also produces a red. Can see Jagielka getting conned. Martinez needs to get into our players they have to stop being so honest, a la Coleman against Spurs. We'd have won that game if he, rightfully, went down from the challenge by Vertonghen. You get nothing for being the better man and taking the knocks and staying on your feet. I'm not saying we start Suarezing all over the place, but if they are fouled in or around the area then it's better to fall and 75% get the decision in your favour as opposed to being all hard and mucking your lines up as you've been sent off balance.

UTTER BASTARDS

Referees honesty should not be spending any time whatsoever with individual players or specific clubs. I read that Mourinho once paid for a holiday for a Premier League referee and his family. How can that be accepted? One of the things I really cannot stand is referees being all pally with certain players, shaking hands, high fives, whispers in ears, private jokes, etc. Get lost.
