Everton (a) post-match thread

[Mr Fraser]

I share Everton s concerns about the alleged penalty and the performance of officials. I am sure their letter has asked for a review of free kicks awarded when richarlison "lost his balance"

Sorry you lost, sorry you didn’t get a pen, sorry you might go down, you whinging scouse cunts. Hope that’s sorted now

Sleeve. Perfect call... :)

Agreed, good of SJL to point out about the camera angles and put another one on that doesn’t make it look like it hit his elbow or forearm, jokers.

Evertons complaint is pathetic. It was a wrong decision. Get over it.

They've got form. When our game was called off last season because of covid cases in the City squad they were really shitty about that as well. Ancelotti was the only one with enough class to send good wishes to the people who tested positive.

It’s a blatant handball.

I'm not getting into a pantomime, "Oh no it isn't/oh yes it is!" with you but it's not blatant due to the added confusion on the new shirtline rule. Due to that rule var and the ref ruled it wasn't conclusive. Was I relieved? Yes. Would I be pissed off if I was Everton? Yes. It wasn't given, we had no say in the decision, end of story. We've been on the end of some ourselves and some have gone our way, Saturday was the latter. That still doesn't make it a blatant handball.

It’s a blatant handball.

I thought if the ball hits the shirt sleeve it wasn't handball

Sky still pushing this, apparently Everton have taken this to the PL

What do the soft melts hope to get out of it? A point, a replay of the game? What did sky's resident ref say?

Demand an apology? FFS, candle shortage on the red side of Merseyside and a fanny wipe shortage on the blue side.

Whilst I agree that we should be better informed by the officials, FA and VAR on decision taking and reasoning, demanding apologies for decisions perceived to be incorrect is just pointless, unsportsmanlike and, in light of what is going on in the bigger world, petulant.
