Match Thread Everton v Manchester City, Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[Blue 1]

What a jip.

The game is bent AF.

 

[Blue Roo]

What about the diff in the team since last playing them
if they can get to 81min like that then not far off the confidence to shut up shop.
Robbed yes, gutted yes, but they put a huge marker down in the relegation battle - The team is getting its spine back

 

[perth_blue]

Even Dermott Gallagher admitted it was a penalty. The [Poor language removed] tadpole.

 

[atypicalusername]

He'd already anticipated the ball and was looking to clear. Was hard lines for him

 

[Annaboll]

We showed more than enough to know we won't be relegated this year.
Good performance against possibly the best team in the world.

Yes we were very unlucky with VAR, but hey [Poor language removed] happens and it generally evens out in the end.

 

[BirkenheadBlue]

Nobody said it was. But if people are going to blame a ref for us going down when we have had 38 games to save ourselves, well, that's simply playing the victim. We were shafted tonight. But that won't be why we go down. Firstly, we won't go down. Secondly, if we do, it'll be because we have been atrocious.

No, again, if we were to go down by 1pt or on GD, we would go down because we are poor AND because we got shafted tonight (among others)

On DAZN here the Spanish commentators before the VAR decision was made seemed to think the premier league rules on handball changed recently and that above the elbow up to the shoulder is not considered handball and that it wouldn’t be given

Is there any truth to that?

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

Sky have completely glossed over the handball, pathetic.

 

[RomanReigns]

It’s hard playing against 11 Man City players never mind 11 Man City players and VAR

 

[john jako]

Feel sick with that. Corruption of the highest order.

Apparently it's the shirt line so still handball by that measure.

 

[atypicalusername]

Sky spinning the narrative.

that is the "t shirt line" thing

 

[Bristol Blue]

May aswell just get relegated, not saying the officials are any better but at least there’s no bias or corruption involved. That decision today was blatantly nothing to do with the rules of football, that was a money decision. Other way round, Man City get the pen.

 

[Ducans elbow]

Pep saying the pen decision was for offside
