To your leg pull (pun intended) about what can we do, sorry I wasn't clear.I’m sorry but I’m not as cynical ….and I’ll call it for what it is …..and I don’t like any of our players going down regularly…may get it wrong sometimes …I’ll stand by Fernandez being in a different league to a player who’s still in his infancy (yes it’s still wrong)….re the Everton player ‘injured’ not sure what point you are trying to make here…that was the lump at the back ..who clearly was able to play on and yet the ref blew up despite us being in an advantageous position which we subsequently lost ….an example of the ball being kicked out by Gross in good sportsmanship was the last home game..I’d applaud that
Not 'the' moment but also in the second half an Everton player was down West stand side of the middle of their half.
The game stopped without stopping, the ball ended up at Groß, and we started pleading to play on, the player started getting to his feet, we booed him and the game carried on.
Reversing that but we act the same way because 'we all hate all cheats' would be a powerful statement, but one that'll never happen so we have to suck it up.
As much as we think we 'hate all cheats' we don't, we 'hate it when they cheat'.
That difference is crucial and important, even when discussing a cheating toe-rag like Fernandez.
Again you're right there is a massive gap between the 2 players but unfortunately, and hopefully not for long, the comparison can still be made.
