Everton (a) post-match thread

[paulchapo]

They should have been relegated many years ago when Hans Segers (I think) gifted them 3 goals after being 2-0 down. He actually dived over a penalty that he should have saved. Along with Grobbelar he was charged with match fixing but the case couldn’t be proved, no smoke without fire.

They were 2-0 up that day and Everton were garbage. Step forward Segers. I actually think Wimbledon shit themselves as to what would happen if they sent Everton down that day.

Perhaps because they are entitled to an opinion and think differently to you. It's not about sticking to it as it matters not a jot now and wouldn't have mattered in the moment. They think by the letter of the law it wasn't justified; n giving a penalty. Thankfully the man on var thought the same.

Lol

 

[blueparrot]

Nothing, which is why it surprises me that people are sticking to it not being handball, rather than a mistake.

Perhaps Specsavers should start sponsoring the site. ;-)

Find me a view where I can see it hitting his arm and not his sleeve and I’ll happilly say it was a definite penalty. As it is there is doubt, so VAR didn’t overule it, and so it wasn’t a penalty.

 

[Sir peace frog]

He’d be a hell of a player if he could defend!

he can defend and is one hell of a player

If any part of the ball touches the goal line it's not a goal. So therefore if any of the ball touches the sleeve it's not handball. Simples

So, 80% of the ball hits his sleeve?

Have you made that up?

I asked that question repeatedly yesterday and no one answered it.

Why did they boo our players, especially Sterling, the entire match? I thought it was pathetic, especially considering the great spirit shown at the start of the match to support Ukraine. It backfired though because it certainly fired us up in the second half.
I don't blame them for being gutted about the penalty shout. It was a blatant penalty in my view but we have suffered badly from VAR in the past so were probably due one. The formal complaint about the decision though is embarrassing.

Because they are scouse bastards, the same as them from over the park. There is no difference. Cant understand the cosy feeling on here between some of us and blue Dipps. I've had some very scary moment at Goodison.

If we started debating all the times we’ve been shafted by refs and VAR, we’d do nowt else for the next decade… Everton got beat and that’s that .. !!

Everton looking for full disclosure

Is this a joke!

1) They should look at the video, there was never going to be a penalty. If the ref/var had decided it was handball, they would've been checked and realised it was offside, he was, in "the var world", a mile off!

2) There's no guarantee they would have scored anyway.

They're a horrible club and i hope they go down and fat frank can fuck off too.

Sorry mate , been away not read full thread just catching up. But I think it's only common sense. Is that how you see it? Mind you where does common sense come in.

Not sure they are comparable. One is confirmed by Hawkeye technology and the other isn’t.

None of us seem to know the ruling. It seems close to Umpire’s call in cricket, but no one knows the ruling and no one has even asked!

Don’t know is that when it hit, just before just after. We don’t know the view VAR used, but if they had a clear and obvious view of a clear handball, why do you think they decided not to send Tierney to the monitor?
I assume their wasn’t a definitive view to show him.

I guess you are right in your last sentence. I think the front on is “inconclusive” and the back one looks like handball, but you can’t see everything.

I think we also benefitted as VAR tries to deem the referee correct if they possibly can.

 

[ChicagoBlue]

That was pre VAR though.

I was illustrating big ref decisions that rarely go our way.

I think it should apply from the elbow down, if you think about it, very difficult to get any purchase with any part of the arm above the elbow.

 

[york away to this!]

So the sleeve thing? Like goal-line tech, does the whole of the ball need to be below, or above, the "line"? The centre of the ball? I'm sure this has already been discussed, though can't be arsed scrolling through the whole thread...

It just needs clarifying, doesn’t it?

It’s either a blatant handball because 1% of the ball hit the red zone or blatantly not because 1% hit the green zone.

 

[give it to gordon]

Scousers gonna scouse

Everton what an apology for VAR in their eyes saying it wasnt handle. Cant see VAR changing their minds and saying they cocked up.
Everton think penalty VAR think no penalty. Why apologise ?
