Everton (a) post-match thread

Everton are apparently “incandescent” …

Put aside the arguments of whether it was or wasn’t a handball, and imagine as a football club having to rely on another team accidentally handling the ball… under no pressure, to no advantage, and at no disadvantage to your own club… how embarrassing

We saw Everton’s true colours during Covid, and we saw them again on Saturday when they spent most of the afternoon diving and wasting time. Now that’s what I call foul play

Everton demanding an apology for the Rodri incident. Who would have thought.

Why an apology ? If they'd asked for a review and clarification as to whether the correct decision was reached or not then that's up to them but an apology presupposes that they were entitled to be awarded a penalty kick.

To settle an argument, I've looked at the full handball incident again from start to finish, paused it, played it in slow motion etc

I now think that the ref gave a free kick for offside in the follow up play after the ball was cleared. The left back was flagged offside (even though he wasn't). This is kind of confirmed by where the free kick was taken from, with the ref making Eddie move it back twice

However I'm 90% sure Richarlison was offside. If the pen was awarded (and that's a big IF) I suspect that VAR would have then gone back to look at the offside and the pen would have been overturned

That’s my interpretation too, although it was a penalty, but probably negated by the offside before, had it got that far.

We’d be seething if it were the other way around though.

Storm in a tea cup because as you sat Richarlison is in an offside position in rhe build-up. Not flagged for but VAR would have seen it.

MOTD could have analysed this properly but they did not bother

Well, in all honesty, it's the very first time in football history that a controversial decision has had a potential impact on a result. I can't think of City ever being on the wrong end of a bad decision in all the years I've supported them.

At least we’ve united the scousers in grief over the decision.

It was talkSPORT so bear with me but they read out a statement on Sat night supposedly from whoever is in charge of explaining these decisions the general gist of which was that offside was not a factor in the decision it was purely based on analysis of the handball.

Which is true as it was deemed not to be handball by Rodri.

Had it have been deemed handball, the offside would then have been looked at.

Yep... but if the pen was given, the second review would have been for the offside

They only review offsides if they lead to a goal or a pen, so there was no need to review it as the pen wasn't awarded

Hahaha

Please get relegated.

They deserved fuck all. If they had of concentrated on the football side of things instead of writing letters maybe they would not be in a relegation fight.

Sincerely hope they do get relegated.

Perhaps the FA can review Hans Segers throwing the ball into the back of the net as well, and relegate them straight away.
