He dived twice IMO & woy stated he wasn't like that - all players dive if given the opportunity, twice he was diving when kicking our defender's boot - they all do it .....

They tried to take the gloss of our victory - the score still remained 3-2 to us - that palace player apart from diving is some player though trust him to return to our game after 12 months .....

Wasn't MOTD but a pet peeve on mine is commentators mistaking a black player for another and just...carrying on like they didn't make that mistake.

The guy on Optus mistook Doucoure for Young when he got booked, he somehow also forgot about that booking later when saying that a Palace player was the first booking of the game. They already have nothing interesting to say the least they could do is be accurate.

He was a massive idiot and it wasn’t just a black player thing, he also said ‘Calvert Lewin!’ as Mykolenko was running off celebrating his goal and then corrected himself which is an incredible mistake to make. So I guess I’m doing him a favour as being a moron is better than being a racist.

Eze dived or exaggerated any contact in the box a few times, got booked for it once, he clipped garners heels and also dragged Onana down.

did you watch the full game?

I did yes, then watched highlights on MOTD and didn't see any great agenda against us, and as I said thought pundits spoke positively about us.
Eze could well have been given a 2nd yellow definitely but wouldve been harsh after getting one for the pen appeal, it can't be that it's either a penalty or simulation everytime.
Jeezo we're never happy

Not just him I've noticed over the years but I wouldn't go so far as to call him that. More just disrespectful and annoying that they never seem to correct themselves

Of course it is a judgment call, but that judgment shouldn’t be purely based on whether a player was touched but was the touch enough to impede him. Again I say look at the jostling that goes on when a free kick is going into the box, if “a touch” is the material consideration in whether a penalty is given then very ball into the box will be a penalty. You can’t have a law in a contact sport that allows absolutely no contact.

the judgement call will be based upon the club badge. How many times have we seen players from favoured clubs making terrible tackles but getting away with it because they 'aren't that type of player', even though we have just seen footage of them being exactly that type of player

I like what I know about Gary Lineker, liked him as a player, now as a host and his forays into the political world. I completely disagree with him on the penalties in yesterday’s game. If a defender touches a forward it isn’t a penalty, if that were the case then every time a defender bumped into a forward at a set piece it would be a spot kick. I player is never entitled to go down, he has to be knocked down. A penalty is awarded when the forward is prevented from playing by foul play not when he is touched. Houghton gives a spirited defence of Eze but I think, having watched him go down, he has practised going over.
Gary and JJ were forwards, they look at things from a forwards viewpoint, defenders have a completely opposite view.
Simulation could be taken out of the game very quickly, review all penalties during the week and if a player is found to have dived then give him a two match ban. Players diving are ruining football, it puts referees under so much pressure, it distorts how defenders play and it takes the tackle out of the game.

Personally I can't understand how you like him, he's wasn't loyal Everton nor is he loyal to his political beliefs, I see him as a left wing Trump, wasn't Linekar a Tory at once. Now big Nev and Peter Reid I can respect, Nev works with the most vulnerable elements of society and has continually spoke out against Tory cuts to the disabled who he actively helps and speaks out for those he deals with on a regular basis. He gives his view whether he you like it or not. James McLean love him or hate him, stood up for what he believed, Linekar is a phony virtue signalling scumbag, who works for an organisation who protected Jimmy Saville, lied about Saddam's WOMD, manages to pick out the one person who abuses food banks, rather than the thousands who need them and constantly pushes us into pointless wars that we don't need to get involved in. Big Nev is a man worthy of respect as Blues who loves our club as much as us, Linekar is just a closet Tory phoney, who has done a reverse Russel Brand.

I didn't say theirs an agenda against us. The punditry was embarrassing.
