Match Thread: Everton v Villa

[Spoony]

Poor refereeing but our players seriously lack discipline. 

[The_Steve]

Youri did nothing wrong there 

[Jas10]

Soft bookings for us, Everton getting away with the rough stuff…

[Callum]

And someone on here earlier moaning why we vindicate refs…

There’s been about 30 seconds of football in the last 30 minutes

Its been pathetic. Referee hasnt a clue and control a game of football

[The_Steve]

Ref gave into the home crowd booking Youri and Garner going down like he’d been shot

Unfortunately this is about as good as we get in away games. 

Yeah I’ve seen us be awful away from home, but far from it today, just not same level as home form not even close. 

[Django_Zooms]

Same referee failed to manage incident-free Brentford match.

Send that **** off, another yellow card that tackle would have been from tarkowski 

[Robtaylor200]

I cant wait any longer

Im going to put my new Euro shirt on

How can the so called best league in the world have some of the poorest refs?

[Paddywhack]

Do Everton fans think anything above your ankle is handball?

Because a culture of relentlessly and constantly abusing refs means people don’t ref, and this is the resulting standard. It isn’t rocket science but clearly far beyond the grasp of football fans. 

[The_Steve]

Switching off. Ref has killed this and now I’m just getting more and more wound up 

[villan95]

Hope we're not just using Duran to keep him happy. Feel Diaby or Bailey could have won us this.

[rbcuk]

Duran is bloody good at holding the ball up

[OutByEaster?]

Noticeable that the linesman had a really good look at the Tielemans tackle from 10 feet away and didn't give a foul.

[AVTuco]

A good team still wins this. Concentrates on playing the game, pushes on relentlessly, and scores. Unai is trying to do this with his changes.

Indeed, cheap booking or two for us pretty much every game without fail, and they don't happen without bad ref calls, but it's part of their **** job and it infuriates me how quickly we lose our shit and give up cheap yellows.
