Match Thread Brighton & Hove Albion v Everton, Preview, Report and MotM Poll

[LydiateLee]

The table doesn't lie, we are where we deserve to be, can't rely on refs decisions,in fighting as they say don't leave it in the hands of the judges.

Disagree completely.

You can't tell me that the Jagielka red card didn't influence the result at Wolves, or the gigantic stroke of luck for the RS didnt cost us a point. Not to mention key decisions at Old Trafford and the Emirates.

Or the odd rash challenge our players have made in our area not resulting in pens.

We as a fanbase need to get out of this line of thinking, it winds me up, over the season we get the same amount of breaks as every other team in the league, we are just more aware of Evertons cos we watch every single game.

Over a 38 game season, where you end up is where you deserve to be.

Nothing is given in football, you take it all or you take nothing.

Again, completely disagree.

We do not get a fair proportion of decisions. Why? Because we are the club most capable, financially and support wise, of breaking the status quo that Sky and the FA have created. Money talks, it's a multi-billion pound business and when that is the case corruption will exist.

The game is bent as hell, football as we know it started to die when Sky came in.

The weekend just gone proved that. Salah dived. No ban. Sky actually defend it and create an argument that it was a penalty.

thought Jags was a red myself.

went to this game last season. miserable experience due to the manager and our fathead striker, but the stadium and atmosphere was cool and i liked the city

There is defo media bias, as you say its a multi-billion industry and its in Skys best interest to promote the clubs that put bums on seats.

If you want people to notice you, make some noise, win games, bloody the nose of the top 6, get amongst it.

Its no point being on the outside and crying cos they wont let you in, you have to break in.

Not a chance it was a red card.

I agree with this but it is very difficult when other factors, huge factors, conspire against you. How are we meant to win games when key decisions deliberately go against us at key stages in games? Cup draws are the same, the Sky 6 kept apart until the latter stages when it's unavoidable.

I dont believe theres a conspiracy mate. I just think modern refs are utter mutants and havent got a clue what they are doing.

 

[roydo]

Mate, they aint deliberate. There is no conspiracy, no secret cabal to keep some teams where they are, no fixed draws. Just life always seems easier for richer folk.

fight you

 

[Goat]

fight you

Seems unnecessary, but let me just get my stadium coat on and I can be outside the Morrisons of your choice within 20minutes.

lets postpone til the City home game when i hope to be over.

...and how to fight...

 

[Caolam]

I am in no doubt that referees are influenced by the stature of the the six clubs. I don't think they deliberately give decisions in their favour but I believe they hesitate to give decisions against them.

I promise I used to be of the same mindset but this season it seems different, blatant.

I have the opinions as MG so I don't need to repeat him
