Couldn't agree more, as you say all he has cost us this season plus his age, its ridicules to offer him a new contract. We need to stop wasting wages on people like him.

who gives them extensions?

….i wonder if DCL forced a goal off his arm with it by his side would Oliver had allowed it.

We know the answer mate, all season long we've been waiting for minutes after every Everton goal while they desperately try to find something wrong with it. Today VAR did it's job, and did it quite quickly, and Oliver's ego took over plain and simple.

£10.1m merit payment for finishing 15th.

Rock on, Tommy

a fitting end to the season, Everton doing everything they can to compete with a team that spent hundreds of millions in the summer, holding their own and still getting shafted by VAR in the finale! what a draining season, hope the PL continues to unravel and we can get our sport then - until then, see you next season for more misery blues!

 

[Houghty19]

He’s more corrupt than VAR

I just think he's an absolutely awful ref who is incredibly biased towards the top six.

 

[Andy Gray Diving Headers]

The match almost sums up the season to me. Fair play to SD and the team for doing well but PL managing to screw us over. However, in the end, it doesn't make a major difference. UTFT.

Michael Oliver making that decision so he can get his head pat in the media.

 

[Rollo Tomassi]

Don't think we deserved to lose that even if it was such a needless error by Young. It was very fitting that terrible decision was made with that corrupt crank Masters in attendance watching on.

Would have loved the point but I'm glad this season is finally over. Hopefully there are better things on the horizon for the club and us fans. It's been another good season with you all and I can't wait for next season. Enjoy the time off from Everton for a couple of months!! lol

 

[Vedder]

Should demand like ferguson use to, that Oliver never refs us again

Good post. Fellas here will still blame Dyche, like.

We should do everyone a favour and demand he never refs anyone again

 

[johnjoeefc]

we’re playing arsenal away ffs lad

It leaves a sour taste for me that the season ended with a decision like that. I want to hear the refs reasoning and if it's the rules then fine but they need to explain the decision

After Havertz tucked the ball in from close range, the video assistant referee recommended that the goal should be disallowed for a Gabriel Jesus handball in the build-up.

But after reviewing the footage at the side of the pitch, referee Michael Oliver allowed the goal.

I only saw the 2nd half (Warrington destroying Huddersfield in the Challenge Cup semi final). From that performance I thought we were unlucky not to come away without a point, but I knew that Oliver wouldn't rule out that goal even though it was handball.

Idrissa Gueye my MoM, goal scorer and another fine all round performance.
