This Telly clapper didn’t want VAR and said it would ruin the sport ??‍

You watch Twitter on your TV?

 

[clubchamp98]

Match going fans were in the minority of wanting VAR.

Did you really believe these clowns in charge of refereeing would do any better with technology?

You know I called it from the beginning, its on here too.

Spot on .
Imo it’s much worse as they use the tech to back up really bad decisions.

Talking of bad decisions how was Coleman not booked for the handball on the ground stopping a counter attack.?

 

[Lord Tyrion]

The 3rd goal is a perfect example of why you can’t blame Benitez, Coleman trying to be clever and mess’s up.

Well played Palace, fully deserved.

1st and 3rd were errors/giveaways but the way we set up was grim. That is his decision.

We need continuity of manager for a time but we need to see more than that, 1st half in particular.

?‍ put it in the end of season montage of decisions that don't make sense.

I think Everton offered zilch whilst Richarlison was on.
Possibly could of gone 2 upfront and kept him on.
Anyway Everton certainly on the slide infer Benitez

You may not agree nor understand when i say this but generally evertonians locally see everything through the lens of LFC.

They let LFC get to them more than you could ever imagine.

As their song goes "we dont care what the redshite say" but actually they do.

Dont start with the whataboutery, we've benefitted from decisons too.

We had chances to win that particular game too. Ok Kompany goes off we have a better chance of winning but the game at home to Leicester and away at Arsenal are the games that still annoy me from that season.

We wouldn't have won the European Cup v Spurs had VVD been sent off v Napoli for the same sort of tackle.

It happens, take responaibility for your own actions and accept it.

That season i dont think we could've done anything more than we did other than those 2 games if my memory serves me right.

Accept your own actions and admit your wrong then. Leagues can be lost on one terrible decision.

Are you sure, I dont remember a referendum?

No they cant. The league is won over 38 games. Do you seriously believe we lost the league cos Kompany wasnt sent off?

I canvassed up and down the country.

Do you disagree?

The league is won over 38 games, correct, but a terrible decision in one game that was a 6 pointer can also lose that league. Yes.

City and Liverpool probably won 28-32 games each in that season and a few of them games would have have had decisions go for and against both teams after that, BUT a massive decision in that major game went a long way to deciding the league. Kompany would have also missed the next 3 games, who knows what may have happened in them games also? Was the Leicester game one of them when he scored?

Not at away games, I bet, eh, Davey Mac?

Can you remember the Arsenal away Leicester at home games? We lost 4 points we shouldve won.

You're sounding like an evertonian.......?

Listen that season was extraordainary. Its never been done before and its never been done since. Nor is it likely to be replicated.

Sometimes you need to hold your hands up and accept that sometimes you're beaten by the better person/team.

Blaming Kompany not being sent off is poor. Piss poor.

We wont agree.

Not the Arsenal game, but can remember Robbo making a mistake just before half time which meant we ended up drawing instead of winning, yes.

We agree, it was extraordinary - an unusual situation when a league literally was potentially decided by one piss poor (to use your vernacular) decision.

I always have when beaten fair and squarely, but not for that one.

So instead of blaming Kompany, hold Robbo to resonsibility. It is allowed yer know.

The league wasnt decided by that decision at city. The damage was done previous. Evem then we were inmense that season. I've said on here, we couldnt have done much more.

Its funny you havent mentioned the VVD tackle on the half way line against Napoli which was just as bad but we went on to win the CL.?‍

I know youre uswd to getging your own way Ped, but not this time mush.

Go back and watch those 2 games i mentioned earlier. Win them we win league regardless of what happend at City. Fact.

Sky love a "that sending off has relegated xxxxxxx fc" but in reality the previous 25+games they've been piss poor uas relegated them.

We wont agree.

 

[Deleted member 1740]

Where's all the diving experts????

 

[Liverbirdie]

I dont have to go back and watch them.

Do you want to go through every decision in that season?

I agree with you that 999,999 times one decision wont majorly mean the difference between a league won or a relegation, but in a league season when 1 point decides it in a 98 vs 97 point season in a game when one side who wins it should have been down to 10 men, it did for me.

So I blame Robbo for us losing the league, have a word with yourself.

Why should I mention the VVD tackle - thats a cup game, different matter, its over a few games, not 38.

You come out with a statement, that is one of football's perennial cliches, and is correct 99.9% of the time, but not 100% of the time.
