Everton message board is rather suicidal.
Hopefully will stay that way after next Saturday, too...

I fear we’ll be on the end of a backlash and go into the game low in confidence after yesterday. Keep them out for 20 mins and the crowd might turn.

Maybe he will refer to his ex team as Premier League strugglers (one point more than us) who lost to a Liverpool youth team in the post match chat, don’t hold your breath

I can’t believe there’s one more fixture still to be played tonight, kicking off at 18.16. On a Sunday night! And that, is everything wrong with the FA cup and football today.

Shame on the FA.

16 and 18 year olds outplay internationals and former internationals Walcott, Schneiderlain, Sigurdsson, Delph, Richarlison. Ancelotti’s Italian master tactic - hoofball’s by Pickford to DCL, Richarlison and Kean.

Ancelotti will orchestrate a huge clear out by September.

Stunning winner by Jones.

The Duncan Ferguson hairdryer must be on Turbo right now.

Not quite clear on this. VAR said it’s a sending off and the ref goes and looks at the monitor, can he then decide it wasn’t a sending off and so over rule VAR? That could open a new can of worms?

Imagine Hoops reffing his pet team Bournemouth and deciding against a VAR decision? :wink:

Officially, no. The VAR can't make decisions. Officially*, the ref says what he thought he saw, the VAR then confirms or corrects the ref. Under Premier league instructions, the ref has to take the VAR's description of events to make up his mind (officially*), because they don't want refs to waste time looking at the pitch side monitors - going against IFAB instructions. The FA, following international instructions, allow the refs to look at the video themselves to review what really happened if what they say they saw doesn't match up to when the VAR sees in the replays.

Part of me wonders if Michael Oliver was trying to make a point to the Premier league. This action will certainly add to the already growing calls for Refs to review footage themselves. (I'm not sure this extends to offsides, as that is supposedly objective).

*I'm as cynical as others about whether refs follow this, or if the VAR simply makes the call themselves and tells the ref what to give.

I felt we were a little fortunate at home anyway.

Regardless of yesterday, a tough game at not a particularly lucky ground for us.

Still a great day out for lower league sides. 3,000 Tranmere at Watford, 2,000 Derby at Palace, 2,500+ Wednesday at the Amex, 4,000 Forest at Chelsea.

Long-suffering non-league Hartlepool fans who went to Oxford and took around 800. That was a stinker of a draw and some distance.
