[Albion] Everton vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

I want to highlight what an utter tool and thug Tarkowski is.

That deliberate knee to the back of Pedro's neck was worth at least a yellow. It was absolutely disgusting from a real tosser of a player.

That he got one a few mins later for his hack at JP, shows that he had malicious intent.

He's up there with Fernandez, Kane and 3/4 of the Chelsea squad, as utter bellends.

Agreed. Loved him during his stand up days though

We already knew.

Please provide a screenshot of any contact before he takes the dive. I am betting you cant

You need to watch the replays again. Dunk brings his left foot through at which point it goes underneath DCL's foot.

They're touching each other, which is the definition of the word 'contact'. Give my winnings to charity if you like

For the millionth time, I'm not saying it was definitely a penalty. Just that we were fortunate it was overturned bearing in mind everything PGMOL said in the past couple of days about how VAR would be handled this season.

Just suffered the long trip from Lime Street to Euston near 4 entitled Everton fans who didn't stop spouting crap for the whole journey. Apparently their new stadium is far to small for a start as they have a 30k waiting list apparently.

Still it was a very enjoyable Euston platform to Victoria sing song

That 30,000 waiting list is a posh name for the dole queue.

Yes.

He was told how shit he is from the stands though.

 

[Munkfish]

Seeing as we were two up before not so young got sent off, the only way it changed the match is it kept them from conceding more as they stayed in damage limitation mode.....it didn't work

 

[Guinness Boy]

Absolutely top quality day out from the trains to the pub to the company to the game.

Rounded off for me by our entertaining of two young Everton fans (or at least shirt wearers) from LA, USA who were over for their first ever Premier League game, and on our train being invited to the real LA (Littlehampton) by @jackalbion for some proper FA Cup football tomorrow.

I wonder if they should simply shortcut it like rugby union. Instructing Hooper; not a foul by Dunk, no pen, yellow card for Calvert for simulation.

That’d be my preference.

The pitchside TV thing is silly.

No one in rugby union claims refs have been undermined.

That’s what they did in the first season. Everyone moaned about that too.

 

[Weststander]

That’s what they did in the first season. Everyone moaned about that too.

Due a raft of wrong inaccurate decision?

It has actually improved in overall terms in that aspect.

 

[sakooshi]

You are correct, he stood on dunks foot.

One could say he stood on Dunk's foot, but one could equally say that Dunk slid his foot under Calvert Lewin's foot as he (CL) was just about to plant it, bringing him down in the process.

 

[GT49er]

That's pretty much how VAR has worked since the second season. In the first season, the pitchside monitor wasn't used. Since then, they've always asked the ref to have another look. "Referee's call" as Howard Webb said he wants it happened in the West Ham game. A lot of people will say it was the wrong outcome but the process tallied with PGMOL's stated approach for the new season.

Really?


I mean really? Refs invited to review their own decisions? Okey dokey, whatever,

 

[warmleyseagull]

I think he actually improved before our eyes today. The first 20 minutes I lost count of the times he gave it away and I had my head in my hands. By the second half he was running the show imo. Extraordinary .

I was going to post same thing. Bit of a car crash to start with but seemed to grow into it.

 

[Originunknown]

Just got in, absolute belter
Danny Welbeck stop it, outrageous

Not equally. Suggesting that Dunk craftily slid his foot under DCL's has zero credibility. Dunk's slide began a whole stride prior, there can be no question of intent to do that.

Oh you mean the bit where his foot lightly brushes the side of Dunks boot as he plants it in preparation for the dive, we weren't fortunate it was overturned by the ref. Again this is exactly why we have VAR. DCL is lucky not to have been sent off

I'd genuinely love to see Tarkowski get his legs snapped in half. f***ing snide ****.

A better punishment would be he should have to listen to Donald Trump & JD Vance talk about the role of women in US society for 24 hours straight.

 

[Munkfish]

I love this site 3-0 away win on the opening day and pages of waffle about a penalty decision that went in our favour. Some people just love a f***ing argument. Go get some therapy. You don’t need to be arguing on the internet.

It absolutely shows in the reaction of Dunk. He knew beyond reasonable doubt that he hadn't caused the Everton striker to go down.

 

[Albion my Albion]

You don’t need to be arguing on the internet.

Oh, yes, we do!! And I'll argue about it any day.

Shut your mouth buddy.
