Match Thread Bournemouth vs Everton

"Gamesmanship" cheating really isn't it?

The game is getting like the NBA,it will soon be 3 match bans for sneezing on someone.

Davies Siggy and Gana the best so far. Keane and Holgate have done well with the offsides trap

BEAT THESE CHEATS

Easily rescinded after the match and Problert gets dumped in the Championship for a week.

All the "realists" saying it's a red all day long are being very silly. Any decent ref wags a finger at them both, and at worst books them both. Utter joke of a decision.

Dont be daft, you do that and you walk, simple

Some of their tackles have been more violent

 

[Big Fat Sam]

What an absolutely horrible half of football to watch. How the referee didn't send both off is laughable. It should have been a word to both of them and nothing more. Crazy bad luck that we ended up with a red and their guy got nothing.

Now he misses three important games, well, two league games and the league cup.

I think Coleman is having his worst performance in years, and Baines looks overweight and a yard off the pace. Do well to get a point now.

Pretty much

Tom Davies is honestly one of the worst players I have ever seen in an Everton shirt. What does he actually do?

 

[steele]

It was a headbutt, a small one. That is a, red. Provoked by dirt bag Smith.

 

[Jadubsee]

Never a red for me. A push would have been much more 'violent' and he'd never get sent off for a push

 

[KaiserEFC]

I was thinking that, I don't know if a RS player would have been sent off for that. Especially not the way this season has gone anyway.

Would Man United have got a red? No, the ref would be terrified of Mourinho and the rest of the club. Same goes for Klopp and Liverpool, Poch and Spurs and definitely Pep and City.

 

[PeregrineT]

I mean, it's bloody soft, it's not a headbutt, in which case why is what Smith does any less of a red? Because he didn't move his head an inch?

It's hard to explain when you think about it. What is it for ? Violent conduct? Because it was far from violent.

We can still win this though, just hope it brings us together because our passing has been utter crud.

Exactly, its absurd. No reasonable human can claim that what Smith does is not even so much as a foul, and yet what Richarlison does is a red card, when the only difference is a soft 1 inch movement that didnt even bother Smith a bit. Especially considering Smith started the whole encounter and instigated.

Yet he gets nothing, the rat.

 

[RomanReigns]

you have to think of it from the ref's point of view - he's got a clear view of two players with their heads pressed against each other but only one pushes his head toward the other

made the decision easy for the ref

but its pathetic
