Match Thread Man Utd V Everton. Sun 3 Aug - 22:00 BST

[Gilbert..]

Just saw the sly little kick to the Achilles from the Rodent Fernandez on N'diaye as N'diaye waltzed last him, slimy vindictive little Rat who deserves a good kicking.

Brushed under the carpet aswell. Pre season friendly and he's tried to injure a fellow pro before the seasons kicked off. What made it ten times worse is his tedious arm out im innocent gesture to the ref and everyone else.
Such an unlikeable player. So punchable.

Yes, wouldn't it be nice if we had a Cahill or Mirallas prepared to kick in return and mean it. There's a few fernandes types in the league that kick out with impunity, all need a reminder that just because the refs are ok with it the other side isn't.

Hope Tarkowski says " hello" in our next game against them..

 

[SJB]

If he knows the rules he shouldn`t be sticking his arms in front of the player trying to get past him, you can`t tackle a player with your arms.

The ref apologised to the Everton players after the match and admit he got it wrong.

 

[Timbucktoo]

Erm that's legal mate

Always thought that was just a defenders lazy reaction when there`s a player getting past them. Every days a learning day on GOT.

I can see where the ref in real time can think that when a player puts his arm across a player, and the player goes down that easy, that the defender has had a shirt pull or a push on the attacker. If only there was VAR, but then the ref might not be shown the incident from the right angle. Suppose it shows the officials have a near impossible task in real time reading whats right and wrong.

and we'd hear the 'justification' of 'there was contact so he was entitled to go down, thats a penalty for me', when its the Sly6, anyone else and it would be 'not enough contact for me, he went down too easily'

the game is bent

 

[Khalekan]

It was there long before that. The question we need to ask ourselves is: why were we not in a position to do likewise? Why did we not have the same options as the six?

We were part of the big 5. Now, we'd be battling to make the top 10. Utter decline.

Spot on.

When the Sky gravy train pulled out of Lime Street circa 1992 EFC could and should have been in the First Class carriage with the RS and Arsenal.

Instead we were left stood on the platform watching our elite “Big Five” status chug off in the direction of Manchester.

This is why Premier League teams shouldn't be playing each other in Pre Season.

oh I dont know, far prefer seeing Everton v united than Atlanta United or MLS all stars. There's no accounting for fernandez being a tit

 

[Bluerover]

It is not being biased...those pundits are paid huge sums of money. The minimum I expect from them is impartiality. They were convinced it was a penalty, yet the referee apologised at the end of the game saying it wasn't. Barely any reaction when we scored a beautiful goal, and they can't contain themselves when manu scores, even from the penalty spot. It's so obvious, and they are also part of the problem with English football.

I went to bed after their first and flicked through the recording.

The snippets I watched were awful in terms of commentary - MUTV would have been more objective.

Overall a good way to finish an otherwise disappointing tour BUT if lessons have been learnt then reasonably worthwhile.

 

[Bluerover]

Not sure, you see players penalized for that nearly every game. When a player sticks their arms out in front of a player they`re asking for trouble especially in the area.

Carragher?

 

[Bluerover]

Always have. Always get the kids the all blue gear, mainly because they are little tramps and cover their clothes in all kinds of [Poor language removed].

They are now 11 and 14, still happening.

Nah. I still remember opening the white cardboard box containing my first round neck RBJ, white shorts and white socks, and my dear Ma ironed on a no. 8 for my hero.

About 55 years ago, but I remember it like this morning.

Agree in real time you can see why the ref gives it. But the playacting he should be wiser too

Ref was awful. We looked so much sharper. Great atmosphere and nice Evertonian support. My whole family enjoyed the experience.
