I think I saw one of the most inept three minutes of refereeing I’ve ever seen outside the Champions League yesterday when Onana went down ‘injured’ on the edge of his own box…
Madley stopped the game for no reason - it wasn’t a head injury, he wasn’t even injured for fuck’s sake! He waved on the Everton physios and while he was fannying about stood by Onana and his fake injury, Everton wanted to make a sub for a different player.
Madley just stood there looking at Onana while he could have got the Everton sub sorted out.
Onana got up and while he was walking off, still not off the pitch, Madley finally let Everton make the substitution then turned round to speak to Pickford who ran off and started fake geeing up each of his Everton teammates by running up to them and shouting some unintelligible Mackem ADHD bollocks… meanwhile the Everton player being substituted was refusing to leave the pitch and Madley was still stood with the ball in his hands where Onana had been down ‘injured’ doing absolutely fuck all about any of this going on in front of him.
After the little **** had finally got off the pitch and the sub came on, another Everton player went back to get the drop-ball from Madley but Pickford started screaming that he wanted the drop-ball so the ref picked the ball up again to do that for him.
Meanwhile Onana ran back on the pitch without being waved back on by Madley.
All of Onana, Pickford and the kid they substituted and Lampard should have been booked for that shit.
That referee should be demoted for a month just for that incident alone.
11 minutes added on was a fucking disgrace. For me, it should have been about 15 minutes!
