2019/20 Andre Gomes

[Tipp blue]

Arsenal didn't appeal it the difference is Wenger's comments vs how Poch and Spurs have dealt with this.

'Though Wenger believed it was a harsh decision he said he was willing to accept the decision of referee Jon Moss, adding: “It looked harsh to me but it was a deliberate foul.

“It looked a 'dark yellow' but the referee went for bright red.”

I thought it was appealed and failed that's why I posted it, further research shows you are correct it was not appealed. As you say the difference is how the managers and media acted after.

Agreed, I thought they may have let it lie, given son a rest.

If his reaction was genuine and I have no reason to believe it wasn't, he's probably not going to want to play for a few games any way.

Not really the point is it?

It’s ok we’ll get them overturned by independent panels.

Well we wouldn't as we're Everton and we wouldn't have the media support and the club wouldn't have the nuts on them to appeal

Not surprised to see it over turned. The club is spineless and this whole ''standard foul'' narrative that is getting painted is nonsense purely because it's cause and effect. It wasn't Son's intention to snap Gomes' ankle but the fact is his petulant act led to a fellow professional being out until next year.

''We see these challenges every game'' Yes but we don't see a snapped ankle at the end of them. Intent is irrelevant when the end result is as devastating as what happened to Gomes. We love to point to them lot on here but look at the difference between the way Klopp handled a similar tackle, he's out in force telling everybody who will listen how much of a shithouse challenge it was. We've got the club captain giving Son a shoulder massage in the changing rooms.

Jokers from top to bottom.

I imagine their need for results took precedence since they're playing like utter [Poor language removed] at the moment, hence needing him available as much as possible.

 

[NewRadical]

A disgrace to have that rescinded.

A disgrace that it was appealed in the first place.

No room for sentiment when theres millions on the line.

See Cardiff.

The game is ruined. I've genuinely had enough.

If studs up challenges from behind get overturned after they've snapped a players ankle then on thinking football isn't for me anymore.

Hate how much of a soft touch we are. Digne the only player to display the right attitude in the aftermath of this who situation.

Hope he takes it one further and seeks some retribution of his own next time we play Spurs.

Spurs absolutely taking the mick here as well, Southern kopites these lot.

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

It was in poor taste of Spurs to appeal it, but most teams would if it meant getting an important player back

Everton have rolled over again as per usual, probably because Spurs won the narrative battle in the media to the point that us actually fighting this would have in effect made us the "bad guys"

lot's of other clubs wouldn't have cared and would have done what was right regardless, but that's sadly not our club

Utter spineless cowards at the top of our club. Simple as

They've embarassed themselves completely over this.

I'm glad I've always preferred Arsenal. A proper club who've actually achieved stuff rather than media darlings who have won about as much as Huddersfield.

 

[Everton_Gary]

Someone needs to go full Vinnie Jones on the kickoff and slide tackle Son at their stadium. Let the good times roll.

@Keiran is that better now mate, now that it's stated "there was no evidence of racist behaviour"

It’s exactly as I said earlier, insufficient evidence. His word against theirs.
