Not open for further replies.
Yep and amazingly in the return Everton-Brighton game we were denied a stonewall penalty. Who could forget Gordon being crushed by Shelvey at Newcastle, Tarkowski on Richo at Goodison? There's plenty more - the ball a whole foot out of play goal by City that was missed allowing them to recover from a 1-3 aggregate deficit in the League Cup semi..

lol yeah forgot about that City one where the ball was put of play.

There's just far FAR too many to mention and VAR.has helped us see how they bend the rules to suit what result they want. They're incompetent and they're corrupt.

What about Brentford last season when Richarlison was having his shirt ripped off his back in the penalty area just before Branthwaite got sent off and VAR never even looked at it?
 
- no red card for Tarkowski against Richarlison at home. Knee high tackle that didn’t even get a booking.



This was at 0-0

Game finished 3-1 to Everton



-no red card for Shelvey two footed tackle on a Gordon away at Newcastle. Got booked, however this was a red card.

This was at 0-0

Game finished 3-1 to Newcastle



-another 35 seconds added onto injury time allowing Villa to take and score a corner. I get another ten or 15 seconds but another half a minute, never.



This was at 0-0

Game finished 0-1 to Villa



-Tottenham at home. Richarlison takes the around the goalkeeper. Hugo Lloris clatters I to him, the referee gives a penalty. VAR tells the ref to goto the monitor as Lloris could of got a finger tip to the ball. Even watching the replays to this day I cannot see whether the ball is knocked around Lloris by Richarlison or Lloris get a finger to it. Clear and obvious mistake by the ref? No it isn’t. However this decision is overturned by the ref. What’s worse is that the ref blew for the penalty when the ball was still in play. Everton attacking. The penalty was reverse and Spurs given a drop ball.





Also, in this game Mason Holgate won the ball cleanly in an tackle which he followed through on the opponent. Realistically, it was a yellow card, this is what was given. However, VAR instructed the ref to look at the decision, which was adjudged as serious foul play resulting in a straight red card for Holgate. How this tackle was any different from James Tarkowski? Insane.

This was at 0-0 and the game finished 0-0.



-Brentford away. Ball is crossed in. Rondon can’t make any sort of attempt to play the ball as the defender has hold of his shirt. To the point were Rondon’s stomach is visible as half of his shirt is being pulled towards the defender. This wasn’t given on the field, nor did VAR intervene and award a penalty. This was after Brentford themselves had been awarded a penalty which they scored.

This was at 1-0 and that’s how it finished, 1-0 to Brentford



-Southampton away. 0-0 game has just begun. Everton on the attack, Townsend crosses the ball, Romeu moves his arm towards the ball. This is a penalty decision which VAR looked at and decided this was not worthy of a penalty.



This was at 0-0 and Southampton went on to win 2-0.



-Manchester City at home.

This one, is ridiculous. A decision which was criticised by every pundit and media outlet. Everton loosing by one goal in the 84th minute. Richarlison shoots and the ball bounces up off the keeper. Idiotically Rodri moves his arm towards the ball and controls the ball with his arm. This penalty is the definition of the term ‘stonewaller’. Everton players’ reactions are for all to see. They sprint to the referee as it would seem the referee never saw the incident as no penalty was awarded. VAR then looked at the on field decision and shockingly did not advise the referee to go to the monitor. A crazy decision which completely made a mockery of VAR and how it is used. This incident drew an apology from the football association and head of the referees Mike Riley.




This match finished 0-1, with Manchester City taking all three points.



-Newcastle at home.

At 0-0, a tense game, neither team want to lose. With around ten minutes left Allan tactically and cynically fouls Saint-Maximan. It’s not a good tackle however it is a tackle you see in most Premier League games. Newcastle are about to counter attack and Allan has no choice other than to foul. Allan clips ASM foot and a yellow card is given. Up steps the VAR. They recommend to goto the monitor as this may be violent contact. The referee agrees and rescind’s the yellow brandishing a straight red card. This kind of tackle happens in most games. This was not a dangerous tackle. It was not an ankle/leg beaker, yet this was deemed a poor tackle and straight red card.




This game finished 1-0 to Everton. However this resulted in a three match suspension for Allan.



-Liverpool away.

Three incidents in this game which need to be spoken about.

  1. Anthony Gordon, at 0-0 is running in Liverpool’s box. Keita sticks out a leg which stops Gordon getting to the ball which he has knocked around him. Gordon, quite dramatically throws his legs high, however there is no doubt the leg movement stops Gordon, however no penalty is awarded and instead Gordon is booked for diving.






  1. At half time the players come together in a melee in the middle of the field. During this, Sadio Mane raises his hand towards Allan’s face, pushing him away, this should be classed as violent conduct as you are simply not allowed to aggressively push somebody in the face. Assuming this is actually what Mane was booked for, he was lucky not to get a straight red card for this incident, however he was booked. Incredibly less than ten seconds later he did it again. Mason Holgate gives Mane a push and Mane put his finger on Holgates face, thrusting it upwards towards his eye. As this was missed by the referee and VAR are not allowed to intervene for a yellow card decision, no action was taken by the ref and Mane remained on the pitch.






  1. To me, the most incredible decision during this game. Anthony Gordon is away, he’s in the box and Joel Matip is chasing him. Not too dissimilar to Jared Braithwaite’s red card against Brentford. The defender is behind him, he catches Gordon’s leg and pushes him in the back. Looking back, not only is this an awful decision not to award a penalty but this could of potentially been a red card for the defender as the last man. This decision at 0-0 with the game having 40 minutes remaining potentially gives Everton the lead and something to hang on for. Instead, nothing given, and no VAR intervention.






These three major decisions cost Everton any opportunity to steal a win or nick a point. Instead Everton lost this game 2-0. Also, on the point of Anthony Gordon diving for his first penalty decision. I am still under the impression that it is simply not upto Gordon to get over and or out of the way of a trailing leg. How is this any different for Kenny’s sending off against Wolves at home. He leaves a leg in which Raul Jiminez made the most of, dived, and screamed in apparent agony. I am still convinced there is zero contact however the referee brandished a second yellow and sent Kenny off. Look for yourselves; skip to 2:56.







-Brentford at home.

The most recent and the most fresh incident. Everton are winning 1-0 in this pivotal game, a win secures Everton’s Premier League survival. Up steps Michael Oliver. Richarlison in the opponents box is battling with a Brentford defender. This defender pulls Richarlison’s shirt, again much like Brentford away, the shirt is almost clean off. Michael Oliver only about 4 yards away deems this action completely legal by the letter of the law and nothing is given. Low and behold the ball gets kicked long catching Jared Braithwaite out of position. Ivan Toney very cleverly runs ahead of him, feels contact, or rather draws contact and Everton are reduced to ten men. This whole scenario should of been rectified by a VAR review which should of found the Brentford player guilt of a clean shirt grab. This would of resulted in a penalty for Everton, thus a reprieve on the red card. However, if would seem this ‘tackle’ was similar to Joel Matip against Anthony Gordon at Anfield, yet only one of these was perceived a foul, and a red card.

Also, probably in the sense of fairness Michael Oliver decided to then award us a penalty. Now, this was a foul, however this was in my opinion less of a foul than the shirt pull. Everton receive the penalty and yet the central Brentford defender is not booked for this foul. He is not booked as this would of been his second bookable offence and he would of been sent off. Yet another awful mistake which has ultimately cost Everton.

Everton went on to lose this game 2-3.



Let’s have it correct, we have been terrible all season. But let’s also have it correct, we have been at the end of some really poor decisions this season. VAR was supposedly brought it to help referee’s. With so much going on I completely understand why a ref would need some assistance. However it would seem that VAR has its flaws aswell, so who is managing them? Who is at fault if the referee and VAR get the decision incorrrect? Do the referees have an agenda. Again, let’s look at the ref’s and VAR during these poor decisions.



Everton vs Burnley - ref, Martin Atkinson, VAR, Kevin Friend



Newcastle vs Everton - ref, Anthony Taylor, VAR, Chris Kavanagh



Everton vs Aston Villa - ref, Craig Pawson, VAR, John Brooks



Everton vs Tottenham - ref, Chris Kavanagh, VAR, John Moss



Brentford vs Everton, ref, John Brooks, VAR, John Moss



Southampton vs Everton, ref, Andy Madley, VAR, Andre Marriner



Everton vs Man City, ref, Paul Tierney, VAR, Chris Kavanagh



Everton vs Newcastle, ref, Craig Pawson, VAR, Stuart Attwell



Liverpool vs Everton, ref, Stuart Attwell, VAR, Darren England



Everton vs Brentford, ref, Michael Oliver, VAR, Darren England

Harry Kane dive for penalty

This season;



Harry Kane dive for penalty

Van Dijk no red card in derby

Gordon no pen, joelinton not sent off against Newcastle

No red card for 2 footed lunge at Bournemouth

things even out over a season mate, so they say
 

Yep and amazingly in the return Everton-Brighton game we were denied a stonewall penalty. Who could forget Gordon being crushed by Shelvey at Newcastle, Tarkowski on Richo at Goodison? There's plenty more - the ball a whole foot out of play goal by City that was missed allowing them to recover from a 1-3 aggregate deficit in the League Cup semi..
The John Terry one gets me 2 yards offside even looks sheepishly at the linesman as he heads the equaliser 2 minutes after the game had ended. Whenever that stat is rolled out that we haven't won away at Chelsea I end up screaming the above at anyone who will listen.
 
Probably been mentioned loads but....
vs Bournemouth -head injury in the 6yd box (forget who), plenty of time to spot it and stop the game but Bournemouth score, koff- what a joke!
