I think the forum needs "goons"..... it could be the only thing that stops some Evertonians turning into kopites.
By that.... good honest pros getting slated and having the p1ss taken out of them whilst half arsed mercenaries get all sorts of allowances.
I agree with the sentiment but unfortunately the honest pros don’t seem to win very much. We have always had class about what we do. Moyes has this in spades when he first came and i learned them that being nice only allows other players, clubs, uefa ,the FA , sky and it’s pundits to take the pish.
Remember clattenberg saying you do t give pens againat RS in the last minute? Moyes criticism of the ref , without going into details , should have had him charged and he could have shown how biased the fa is. Instead they didn’t charge him and it never came out , Wenger being a whinge bag about Johnson amd is having 10 stone wall pens turned down, Moyes then did the classy thing and sent a vid to the fa and they agreed most of them were pens, tapping up players by mangers , media and pundits selling our players etc. doing the right thing usually means getting walked on, look at English teams and England , players staying on their feet and not rolling around faking injuries , yet teams that dive, fake injuries and cheat always seem to get away with it. I mean look at cantona he didn’t even get banned by the FA , Man U banned him , Suarez has bitten about 3-4 people in front of millions and if I did that I would be charged with assault , Ferdinand missing a drugs test because he’s moving house and gets what 6 months? In other sports they get years. We have always had honest pros playing for ya since the prem began and we always get the bad decisions , red cards for tackes with no contact, refs sending a player off after someone like Gerard whispers to him, goals disallowed, they even rigged the CL mate.
DCL is a good honest pro that works hard and seems to genuinely realise how lucky he is to be a millionaire footballer. He’s like Coleman , jags, baines , Cahill etc in terms of attitude, but that doesn’t mean he’s good enough mate and that is the harsh reality, he cannot shoot and I don’t care what you say, you can’t have a striker that can’t shoot, it’s like having a CB that can’t head .
