The sad thing is the acting injured and time wasting no point in complaining as nothing is done about it.
Saturday was as bad as I have seen but I have not seen one article in the news condemning it.

The one I’ve seen is that Everton played a superb game
 
I actually don’t mind the club imagine sharing a City with a bunch of glory hunting pricks ??????

I have decided that as I didn't hate Everton after you chased me all through the back streets when I was 16, (never have I been so grateful to see a dibble on a horse) I am not going to hate you because of one match. You did what you had to do and the referee is the one to be angry with.
 
Let’s face it, if we were in a relegation scrap and went to the champions away and got a point we’d be ecstatic even if we time-wasted for the entire match. It’s not their fault it’s the officials’ fault for not reffing the game properly.

I get the frustration. Its ugly and the gameplan wasnt great but at the minute we are shite. Simple as.

Why anyone thinks we would rock up and try to pass from the back under pressure or turn it into an open game against you is beyond me. We were always going to try to make it as difficult as possible and if tgat exact same performance was a draw v Liverpool, your fans would be lauding it as we all are when teams have done that to them

Of course we are delighted with the point as to be honest I expected a 3/4 nil win.

If City turned up yesterday and played how they can you win that game easily.

What do you think of your approach to the game? Lots of fouls, lots of shithousery. I guess that, for you, the end justifies the means. I'm not overly impressed by it. But then, I'm biased.

Do you want me to be honest? I don’t care. I’m just glad we got a point.
 
Having lived in scouse-land for many years during degree and post grad (both "over the water" and in l'pool, I occasionally went to watch everton and never the red lot.
As clubs, we were similar. As a fanbase we are similar. With a hatred for all things red and scummy, we are similar...
On saturday I hated the anti-football "tactics", the cup final mentality, the delerium at getting a point - and the officials' inability to get control of what was unfolding in their charge.
Hat's off though for getting the best that they could have hoped for, really...

I've seen City do exactly the same thing, you know, back in the day when we were cannon fodder for the "big teams".

The only joy we got was giving the occasional bloody nose to the red shirts.

Everton got a point, the ref was a ****. That's about the long and short of it.
 
Did you know that since WW2, there have been ten (10) City managers (including caretaker bosses) who have played for Everton in their time?
This is more than any otvher club, I have no doubt.
I am sure some know-all will be able to list them off the top of his/her head.....

That's a very good post. Back in the day when we were totally shite if we had done exactly what Everton did to us to United we would have been absolutely ecstatic about it. We really would. Everton had a game plan. They executed it to a tee. It worked. Basically they did a number on us. We better get used to it because it is becoming apparent that the Everton method / plan is the best blueprint to stop us by some considerable way. If anyone thinks we are going to get protected by the officials in any game we play they are totally deluded. It's the exact opposite.

I seem to recall being in a title race with Liverpool in 2014 as opposed to a relegation fight, yet we went to Goodison and Dzeko spent about 5 minutes on the floor towards the end of the match in a very obvious display of time-wasting. I was watching it down the pub with a few mates and was openly embarrassed about it, whereas everyone else found it funny as fuck!
