Cissé and restropective action

[Big Fat Sam]

Martinez comments in Hull presser something like "we'll carry on letting the referees do their jobs" - is he for real?

If I was Martinez, I'd be listing these wrong decisions in a press conference, name drop Howard Webb and start putting doubt into their minds about giving opposition soft decisions.

We need to be better at the 'dark arts.' We should be getting in the refs face about decisions, we should be stepping on opponents toes during corners, anything for an advantage. Why bother playing fair when nobody else does and it's getting us nowhere.

Sterling was only playing,he's bringing humour back to the game!!that'll be the kind of spin that lot put on itlol

Or it doesn't count as a red cos Raheem had gloves on

Bet he said he didn't see it !!

If he said he didn't see it, then the FA could retrospectively ban Sterling for the incident....but he can't say he didn't see it cause it happened right in front of him....so he has to say he did see it but didn't think it was a red card (which is admitting bias or incompetence)....the ref will pretend he didn't see (which is impossible, just like the ref in our game saying he didn't see the cisse elbow although the SKY cameras clearly show the ref did see it, meaning he was either biased or incompetent)....


So basically the FA's dumbest rule has once again been shown up for the joke it is....Sterling clearly should be getting a 3 game ban, but won't because the officials seen the incident in question but failed to do their job....

Don't get me wrong,we're not helping ourselves with our performances however if these clowns do their jobs in,off the top of my head,the sunderland/city/stoke/newcastle games we are looking at another potential 8 to 9 points there and all of a sudden things don't look quite as bad league wise eh?never mind these things even themselves out I suppose..........yeah right!!

This all day long.

Some Evertonians just willfully refuse to look at this. Yeah, we've been poor but 9 man City, 10 man Stoke or Newcastle and we're losing all four?

Not a chance. We'd have picked up 4-6+ points and we wouldn't be talking near as much about Everton's current predicament.

Amazing really how many want to gloss over this.

People seem to think you're just moaning and making up excuses if you have a go at the refs. No, refereeing decisions have a huge impact on games and lately we are getting bloody nothing in our favour.

We were absolutely diabolical and referees mistakes ( as frustrating they are when they go against you- and we all know we get more than our fair share against us- last 3 or 4 games have been particularly ridiculous) are part of what makes football so exciting and dynamic. We're all secret sadists.

Nahhhh, i mean...come on. You can say that referee decisions are an acceptable outcome but just blatant incompetence is not what makes 'football so exciting and dynamic'. You cant really think that not giving FOUR red cards in our last half dozen games against is what makes this league so exciting, can you?

And, btw, im not saying in any way/shape/form that this would make a lick of difference. We've been awful and probably be literally exactly where we are now regardless but incompetent referee decisions cannot be part of the allure of the PL ffs...

Papiss Cisse has apologised after being handed a three-game suspension by the Football Association for violent conduct.

The Senegalese striker was involved in an altercation with Seamus Coleman during United's 3-2 win over Everton on Sunday - a game in which Cisse scored the Magpies' first goal.Having been charged by the FA, Cisse accepted the charge and the accompanying ban, meaning he has pulled on the black and white shirt for the final time before heading out on international duty to the Africa Cup of Nations.
"I'm sorry for doing something like this," Cisse told nufc.co.uk.
"I'm not the sort of player who does something like this.

"It is not like me, I am not an aggressive player but in football you cannot do something like this.
"I would like to play in the next games but I did something that is not good and the FA were right to ban me.
"I would have liked to play against Burnley, to help us get a win, but I am sure the other players will do well and win the game for us.
"We need points and need to win and it is not an easy match. I will not be on the pitch but my head and my heart will be with the team for the game."

I love it when players say its not like them, to do things like that lol
