Listen to the kip of that

"What we have to learn is, erm in our 80k a year job erm, is when there's video footage of a blatant pen erm, or a picture of a blatant pen, erm, well erm, we need to ensure we come to the correct decision erm and give the penalty erm, but I thinkni can see why he got it wrong erm because he ignored the blatant video footage and the blatant photo footage and erm, picked this image instead which is still a blatant penalty but erm, I'm gonna say it looks inconclusive"

Good to see that we're not just taking this lying down and are actually trying to get some clarity surrounding why that wasn't given.

Lampard showed incredible nous and maturity to put the offside question mark to bed as quickly as possible, which the officials would have tried to hide behind, aided and abetted by that absolute fruit cake who manages City who wouldn't know what a bad refereeing decision was if it slapped him in the chops given how many he's had in his favour during his time in management.

This is just how football is sadly. It's not corruption per se as that would imply that there's money changing hands which I wouldn't necessarily agree with, but it's definitely at the very least 'soft' match fixing that the powerful clubs benefit from more or less unanimously.

You only need to look at how many penalties someone like Cristiano Ronaldo has scored in his career to understand that a club of Everton's size aren't really playing in the same sport as these self-appointed chosen clubs. Transfermarkt have him down as scoring 143 penalties and missing a further 29 from having taken his first one in the 2005/06 season, which is basically an average of 10 penalties a season. Everton are by and large lucky to get 5 a year.

I know a lot is made about our notoriously poor away form at the bigger clubs in the Premier League, but I wonder how many times we've been denied only because of the officials? The 3-3 at Stamford Bridge comes to mind when John Terry scored a late equaliser when he was so far offside he might as well have been in a different post code.

The attempt to try and explain why he didn't give a penalty is embarrassing. He was seduced by the first inconclusive still and that swayed his decision when looking at the conclusive still? What a load of bullsh/t

hes attempted to explain it away by basically saying kavanagh is a complete idiot (no one can be that stupid) when the far more plausible explanation is hes taken a payment from someone.

Proper pissing me off the way City fans on twitter can’t understand that the offside decision they got WASNT against Richarlison before the handball.

I just thought they had totally messed up, as when was there another close offside in that attack?

They signalled for offside, but the ref made Ederson take it near the touchline, so can't have been for Richarlison in that first moment of ball being played through. So not sure what they were giving as offside. Just awful from the officials.

Gray played a pass out to Kenny? on the left wing, was deemed offside (not sure it was tbh).

You'd just come out wouldn't you and say "can't explain it, cant defend him, Kavanagh is a massive helmet and needs to be investigated" and everyone would agree.

While that’s true, it is logical that the better sides are in and around the penalty area much more so they’re generally going to have more chances for penalties to be given.

That doesn’t however change the fact that we have been on the wrong end of some truly shocking decisions over the years in critical moments.
 
Come the weekend, this incident will be forgotten about. If City win the league by a point or two, and this decision wins it for them, nobody will remember it was thanks to a corrupt official. What more concerns me though, is that we could very well go down as a result of this, as it's going to be so tight at the end of the season.
 
that bald fella said he thinks Chris Kavanagh saw two still images and that the first one cast an element of doubt

why on earth didn't they just show the 1 still image that clearly showed the handball?

Why did they need to show him the still image that was unclear?
