I get if you think it was "harsh" or "unlucky" but to call it appalling is bizarre. It looked worse on slow motion, true, but it was still a dangerous tackle. Just trying to be edgy and different a la Adrian Durham. Literally every single fan and former professional has called it a blatant red. One of the least controversial of the season. Nobody argued.

The guy who tried to say it wasn't red because there was no force in the tackle, unbelievable. That's tackle on another day with a element of bad luck is a leg breaker. If it had been on Kane or Sterling they would be saying something totally different. Edited 27 October 2019 by coolhandfox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The question wouldn't even be asked if the likes of Man City and Liverpool had done it; They'd be drooling out their mouths and down below, over every goal. Apparently Man City WERE called disrespectful after their 8-0 v Watford Couldn’t give a toss really.

PhillippaT Posted 27 October 2019 Share Posted 27 October 2019 (edited) 1 hour ago, Finnegan said: This is an American sports thing. They have a concept called "running up the score" which is essentially piling on the points / goals when the game is already a "blow out." It's considered a faux pas. Personally think going in to cruise mode to patronise the opponent is actually a lot more disrespectful but hey ho the yanks are weird. The US is funny like that - since they're so competitive/exploitative socially, they feel the need for extra fairness and balance in sport - especially team sport.

Discount everything this guys says VAR and the ref both got this absolutely right imo. The ref obviously saw the tackle as he was close by but was watching the move unfold and correctly played advantage as we finished the move with a goal. VAR intervened, as they should where a possible straight red offence has occurred and decided that it was clear and obvious, which the ref then agreed with on viewing the screen. i also think that this is the way it should be done by showing the incident on the screen in this way everyone in the ground can see exactly what is being discussed between the ref and VAR officials. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CosbehFox Posted 27 October 2019 Author Share Posted 27 October 2019 Said earlier this week. The Ev are simply jealous. We are everything they wanted to be. They’ve improved in my lifetime. Seemed to constantly flirt with relegation growing up as a kid. In the same way Spurs were mediocre as well 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CosbehFox Posted 27 October 2019 Author Share Posted 27 October 2019 I think the biggest slice of irony is the poster who says the following (or paraphrased). ‘We have this every year. Someone banging on about a club being better than us and being the best of the rest. This year it’s Leicester. Last year it was Wolves. Before that it was Watford’ Thats the ****ing point mate. It’s not Everton challenging. It’s Everton being mediocre again and another club surpassing them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I first started supporting the City in 62/63, Everton were a top side and for the next twenty years of so, won about half dozen trophies. But apart from the 90's cup win, the last 25 years or so have been a tale of mediocrity and no real ambition, but to stay in the league. Everton fans under the age of 30 have had absolutely nothing to cheer, no sustained success or excitement and I actually do feel sorry for them. Must be awful knowing that you are going to experience another nothing season. Can you ever see them emerging from the shadow of Liverpool? Everton have a great history, but this is now the 21st Century and 20 years in, they have done nothing and it's hard to see that changing anytime soon, particularly with so many stronger clubs in the league. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re 6th in the all time Prem table.3rd in the all time top flight one.Its only a decade ago that they were seriously annoying the top 5.Ok it was dour Moyes type football.Their biggest problem seems to be that since the eighties they haven’t had an out and out striker.
