[Ducans elbow]

Sherwood spot on about the pen

 

[Ufotone]

Better play, that's a positive

Should have had the penalty though

COYB

 

[ForeverEverton]

Digne much better today as well....

 

[Bedfordblue]

quelle surprise - two former spurs players doing the analysis think it’s a great decision to over turn the pen…… highlighting Richarlison jumping to his feet as an indication it wasn’t a pen…… if he rolled around he’d be pilloried for that, guy can’t win.
Still unconvinced Loris touched it……

 

[Noble Savage]

I take it you know that your avatar great was an Evertonian!

Of course although I would still love him for the gift of R.I.Perrin alone.

Ex spur Tim Sherwood said it was a pen. Says richy nicked it away from Loris and it wasnt a clear and obvious error from ref. Why do refs hate us?

We didn't have much quality, but we were up for it and that's all we can ask for. We have to have that attitude every game.

Holgate isn't a footballer, and should be nowhere near our midfield again; he cant even perform basic defensive midfield duties there, never mind offer any sort of ball control which is an absolute must from any midfielder. A back up centre back, at most.

 

[arbok]

So no loss?

Haha, I used to like holgate a lot but he’s been crap every passing year. I still root for him but boy he had a mare today.

Get the ball and follow through catching the man= No Penalty (ignoring that we carried on playing with an open goal)
Get the ball and follow through catching the man = Red Card

The game is absolutely laughable.

To compare Lloris getting the ball and keepers going through like they do, to Holate booting a clearance (not even in a tight tackle) and then flying his legs into the opponnents leg mate..

The better comparison is the Delph one, puts in a great tackle in the midfield which should never have been a free kick.

 

[WA Toffee]

I think it’s more that Holgate knew exactly what he was doing putting studs in. Just dumb.

Will be out for 5 weeks from now…

As I said, each on their own could be argued to be correct, but there was a major lack of consistency

 

[Frenk]

Sherwood spot on about the pen

What did he say?

 

[LocalNative]

Thought the Ref got both decisions right in the end. Lloris clearly got a hand to the ball (if he didn't Richarlison of all players 100% wouldn't have jumped straight back up). And Holgate was absolutely reckless and deserved red.

 

[Bluerover]

I ain't even gonna argue about that. We deserved more, but got what we got, cos that was about right in the end. Nowt up front really. Not sure still on the pen, although how they got the bloody ball back after it annoys me, considering their 'keeper was off his line and Richy had possession. No advantage now or what? And Holgate, I literally shouted well done Mason, until I saw the slo-mo. I thought it was a great, must win tackle, until the follow through. Allan, Richy, Delph, Gray, Coleman, hell, all of them, put a shift in today, which is all I ever ask.

Far too sensible a post!

 

[Pittsburgh Footy]

Good to see some fight from the lads. Well earned point

Also the added bonus Holgate is out for a few games

He should never be played in midfield again. What a dumpster fire

 

[Saint Domingo]

We really need to start driving a media agenda against certain referees, make it abundantly clear that Kavanaugh Moss Atkinson Probert Mason and Oliver aren’t welcome at Goodison due to their overt kopite bias and dreadful standard of refereeing they’ve displayed.

 

[lungo]

Gbamin must be Gbloody awful in training if Holgate is coming in in midfield ahead of him.

Gbamin should try darts after his laughable effort (Holgate Mach 5) against Wolves.
