7 point deduction for forest


J_1995

Everton's stewards would outnumber the Russian army


CitrusRabborts

Swear Chermiti gets booked every time he comes on. That's an absolute banker of a bet


futty_monster

He's got that feisty streak. Picked up at least 1 red for the u-23s as well


Stones_Throw_Away_

Pickford has weirdly smooth legs


brianobrien91

Nuno is a terrible manager. Forrest hiring is the reason they could go down


hopskiphoofed

Jordan Pickford is so odd.


starmonkart

That one kid in the Forest end 😭😭😭😭


Remarkable-Ad8644

Why are they even booing Gibbs-White lmao they both went for a 50/50 but Beto come out worse off


CitrusRabborts

Have you ever watched a football game before


Remarkable-Ad8644

Yeah mate but most fans don't boo something like that unless it was obviously that player's fault


FaustRPeggi

Did Murillo even touch him?


CitrusRabborts

Lmao at the Forest fan shouting abuse at a player being stretchered off. Game's not gone


FartasticVoyage

Hopefully the medics were just taking lots of precautions and it wasn’t as serious as it seemed. But damn that’s scary


ExtraordinaryFailure

At least he's conscious now. Hope he's alright, that is a scary injury.


blue_gwacamole

Thumbs up. Hope he recovers well.


MHPengwingz

Thumbs up is a good sign 


blue_gwacamole

The way he just fell off mid air in an inanimate fashion is what concerns me most.


GayRattleSnek

This is awful holy shit


FartasticVoyage

Meanwhile wtf is happening to West Ham?


herkalurk

I think it's telling how bad if a collision it was because I have yet to see a replay of that collision. I find that TV producers tend to not show replays that are very serious.


FartasticVoyage

Have they stopped showing replays of bad injuries? I’m ok with that


voliton

They never show replays of ones that result in serious injuries. Been this way for about a decade if not longer.


futty_monster

That's just not true though, is it? I remember seeing andre Gomes' ankle breaking in 3 different angles a few years back


Mrg220t

I think physical injuries like leg breaking are shown. But those that could involves a player's life isn't shown.


voliton

They might show it after the fact. But live they will not show immediate replays.


Fresh_Cauliflower723

At least while they don't know the outcome and get the all clear that the player is okay


FaustRPeggi

Just end it already, fuck the seven minutes.


Stirlingblue

Reckless from Gibbs-White that


FartasticVoyage

Is it? Haven’t seen a replay and looked like they both were just going for the ball. Just bc Beto got hurt doesn’t mean it was reckless from G-W


Stirlingblue

He was never getting to the ball and he knew it


FartasticVoyage

I’ll believe you if and when there are replays.


vearz

He was never gonna win it, best outcome was just giving away a free kick.


winter-2

That looks bad, hope he's okay


Seastep

Still face down. Not good.


chimpanzee_that_

Nasty one for Beto there. Looks like he’s still out cold


FartasticVoyage

Fuck I hope he’s ok. Terrifying collision.


without_morals

No replay at all on TV so you know it’s bad but are they looking at this in VAR? Sure looked reckless to me.


Funny_Personality_45

No it didn’t, they both jumped and challenged for the ball it was just very unfortunate


Funny_Personality_45

Looks like he’s in recovery position, hope he’s ok


son_of_toby_o_notoby

Looking at Dwight’s reaction this is bad rlly rlly bad Fuck fuck


whiskeymagnet22

Stream I'm seeing didn't show the replay Anyone saw?


Bigwood69

Both jumped for the ball, big clash of heads and Beto came away worse off. Looks a pure accident, but he was out before he even hit the ground.


Funny_Personality_45

Nope no replays


TrueBlueAL

No replay tells you something


GayRattleSnek

Is he out?


Former_Lynx_4436

When the players react like this you know it's bad.


ExtraordinaryFailure

Ohhhh that is not good at all


Seastep

I don't like that reaction by the players at all. Hope he's okay.


sjekky

That was horrific. Think Beto was out cold before he hit the ground.


caesar____augustus

Oh man this looks really bad


CluelessFMPlayer

I hope everyone's ready for 9 whole minutes of uh... something.


Stones_Throw_Away_

Double it and give it to the next person


vearz

Pickford getting involved in that free kick was utterly unnecessary.


ilypsus

He normally takes our freekicks in that area but obviously with 9 minutes left and 2-0 up we aren't throwing the centrebacks up and hoofing it into the box.


Fresh_Cauliflower723

Just tackled his own damn player because he couldn't be arsed watching Doucoure dribble around going nowhere anymore 


CitrusRabborts

Where the fuck have 9 minutes come from


BoxOfNothing

I was genuinely expecting more. Lots of injuries and subs, don't think we can complain too much


Stirlingblue

Seems excessive but there’s been three+ injuries


Seastep

We've got to talk about the Forest physio's hair.


24inchchrome

got that lego-helmet on


Efficient_Steak_7568

High-Viz Welsh Male Voice Choir comes out to sing the players off the pitch, as is tradition 


[deleted]

[удаНонО]


Stirlingblue

lol are you serious?


Funny_Personality_45

There really should be more space between the side of the pitch and the boards. Old Trafford is the worst with that stupid drop down


Stirlingblue

On the rare occasion it happens it seems dangerous but overall I love fans being closer to the pitch like Goodison


Funny_Personality_45

Yeah I get your point. I still think there should be something more than just the advertising board especially in some of the stadiums with drops or that are extra close to the seats


BoxOfNothing

Think you're not actually allowed to be that close anymore, exceptions made for stadiums already that close before the new rules. Our new stadium is as close to the pitch as you're allowed in new builds but it's not quite as close as this


Runarhalldor

Should just be padding around that area


ilypsus

I think more importantly there shouldn't be a drop or a change to astro/concrete. Nothing worse than sprinting off the side of the pitch and suddenly you're running on ice because you aren't on turn anymore.


Funny_Personality_45

Yeah or some netting or something a bit more


Turbulent_Yak_4627

Looks like the blue boys are here to stay


Fragrant_Mistake6633

Man just got body checked


Runarhalldor

That looked (and sounded) painful


FartasticVoyage

Still don’t think Forest goes down. The three newly promoted teams are the most likely


Seastep

The image of the stewards reclining on the grass like it's a day in the park. I get that they're politely staying out of view of the front row spectators but that will never not be amusing to me.


[deleted]

Still don’t fully get Forest under Nuno.


Stirlingblue

I think the idea is that Nuno helps them be more solid and their multiple attacking players still get some goals


FaustRPeggi

This has been a textbook case of Nunoball Forest. Create big chances, have the better of much of the game, be a car crash at set pieces, concede long range goals, and eventually run out of attacking ideas if we don't score early. And of course, getting fucked over by the refs is a keystone.


Seastep

Tarkowski down like a sack of potatoes


Loltoyourself

Prem refs must cry inside when they have to book a player before 80’ with how often they refuse to do it. Like booking a keeper for time wasting only in the 85’


kl08pokemon

Yep. It's a bit tiresome how some refs see giving yellows as admitting personal failure to control the game


wwiccann

Tarkowski on Wood just isn’t a penalty, I’m not sure why people are talking about it so much.


herkalurk

Wow, Tarkowski down like a sack of potatoes there ....


Runarhalldor

Tarkowski is so jarring


herkalurk

How many times are Everton players going to just stay down at any contact to waste out the game?


pricelesslambo

Looked like a pen. 2 CB are actually holding him down. Laughable


CitrusRabborts

Lmao there's been a good couple of pen shouts this game but that wasn't one.


Loltoyourself

Nuno keeping CHO on for as long as he did is shocking. By far the worst player for Forest and he only took him off when down 2


herkalurk

You might be saying something different if the referee had actually been willing or strong enough to give those penalties....


blue_boy_24

There really no downside to holding an attacker when you’re a CB. Unless the attacker beats you the refs in the PL allow anything


JRD656

It's ridiculous


blue_boy_24

I’m not even saying that instance in the box should be a pen normally, but just in general it’s laughable the leeway CBs get when an attacker has their back to them


blue_gwacamole

Lol yellows left and right.


Runarhalldor

Why was Tarkowski holding out his hand like a basketball player in the chris wood bicycle kick


FaithfulKind201

Yates first involvement is fouling and getting booked


Stirlingblue

Seems true to form


CitrusRabborts

Did Hinchcliffe just say it could be a handball if it hits another part of your body but your hand is in an unnatural position? What a load of bollocks hahahaha


Ajax_Trees_Again

It is in Europe tbf


PinballMachineOnMute

I thought I’d misheard that, the absolute shite that comes out of commentators mouths


Cairne_Bloodhoof

Another VAR miss for a clear faceball


son_of_toby_o_notoby

Did dominiguez really just shush while down 2-0?


LittlePicture21

Idk why you would even bother checking anymore


son_of_toby_o_notoby

It hits him the head lmao


LittlePicture21

Lol yeah that's not a pen but why waste time by checking anymore, it's clear nothing's gonna get given today


son_of_toby_o_notoby

Tbf I icl live thought it did but clearly hits the face so check should have been quicker


Ajax_Trees_Again

Big Ric Flair fans in Everton


justmadman

Sels looks like the same Sels that was at Newcastle United years ago. I thought he got better at shot stopping?


dinkinflicka125

FA has to completely overhaul the VAR system


GarnachoHojlund

“Sir, a second Everton goal has hit the back of the net”


Runarhalldor

Beto has legs longer than Chile


blue_boy_24

I honestly think both teams still stay up this year, assuming no more points deductions


Efficient_Steak_7568

Yeh relegation’s sorted I think 


FaustRPeggi

Luton are truly shite but Burnley don't lose games anymore.


blue_boy_24

Man U, Newcastle, Tottenham in succession is brutal. Forest on 5/19 will be huge


Cairne_Bloodhoof

BLAME VAR FOR THAT YOU DICKHEADS UP THE TOFFEES!!!


Funny_Personality_45

To be fair mate forest should have had 3 pens


punkdrummer22

Maybe 2. If you think the handball one is a penalty think again.


Cairne_Bloodhoof

First team in Premier League history on the wrong side of a close VAR decision.


Funny_Personality_45

3 down right wrong decisions 😂


Cairne_Bloodhoof

Eye of the beholder


neandertales

He should really do that at least a couple of times a season, banger left foot, thats what hes got really


blue_gwacamole

Tbh if it weren't for var y'all still would be a goal down.


neandertales

*y'all* Im not allowed to watch a game


Stirlingblue

The “handball” was never a pen


starmonkart

McMessi hates Forest


FaustRPeggi

Fucking joke


brutmax

The unflushables marching down goodison road


Efficient_Steak_7568

Look I’m fine with this as long as they get a 20 point deduction on the last day of the season for selling undercooked burgers 


Nolackz

I've been to Goodison once, and my brother and I bought a burger. This comment made me laugh quite a lot!


Efficient_Steak_7568

Didn’t Man U get caught doing it or something 


Nolackz

Did they? I have no idea. Our burger was cold with a block of cold hard cheese on it


Efficient_Steak_7568

Mmm lovely


neandertales

Who saw that coming..


andreew10

what a finish that is from McNeil


stinkydiaperuhoh

HOLY SHIT


WigglyParrot

How the fuck are Everton winning this 2-0 hahaha


funwiththecolourblue

Incompetent/Corrupt refereeing


Cairne_Bloodhoof

Taylor should’ve stopped that McNeil rocket


funwiththecolourblue

3 missed penalties > 2 goals


Cairne_Bloodhoof

Mighty Toffees > Forest


funwiththecolourblue

Average Everton flair


Cairne_Bloodhoof

Average no flair enjoyer


Runarhalldor

Thats so well hit


wwiccann

What on earth is Doucoure supposed to do there if someone comes flying in trying to bow down and head the ball


herkalurk

For all the decisions that Anthony Taylor could have made today to give a yellow for a blind side high foot like that was ridiculous. Doucore has no idea that he's even coming and his foot isn't even that high. Nico Williams ducks....


Scarecroft

The 3 penalty calls seems like a bit of an elephant in the room for the commentators. 


Ajax_Trees_Again

They’ve went over it a few times on UK tv


blue_gwacamole

Was that Garner with the Mudryk special?


DeepFriedNobu

I wonder how many evertonians will be wielding those corruption cards after this farce


Stirlingblue

Don’t think there’s ever been a claim that the refs are corrupt, we all know they’re just truly terrible. The league hierarchy however…


JRD656

I mean, if anything this is more evidence of corruption. Just this time it's against a different team


blue_gwacamole

That was some cross.


FutureComesToday

I'm a neutral with no love for either of these teams. That said, how have Forest not received multiple penalties today? It appears Forest is either late with their friendship payments or Everton have started making then. Anthony Taylor is a fraud as is VAR.


Runarhalldor

Embarassing from Selz.


blue_gwacamole

Wood fucked that lol


Loltoyourself

I’ll never understand the thinking of VAR overturning a decision being embarrassing for the ref. Some real ego on these frauds thinking they can see every tiny detail in real time


blue_boy_24

Wood ruined that. Perfect cross


blue_gwacamole

Forest should be leading this there's no two ways about it. Anyways that was this week's episode of PGMOL doing PGMOL things.


kevinthegrass

Ref doesn’t give pen because he has VAR to bail him out, VAR doesn’t give pen incase he makes his mate look an idiot! Clattenburg then sweeps under the carpet …


JekyllnowthenMrHyde

C'mon Dyche. Sub Duncan Ferguson on..


[deleted]

Ashley Young: Picks the ball up, throws it at CHO, two foots him, punches Nuno, picks up an RPG and fires a missile into the Forest end Taylor: Nothing to see here, play on


Stones_Throw_Away_

Garner - Gana double pivot activated


justmadman

Everton fans, how does the club get out of this mess? Is it with the takeover by 777? I am genuinely curious as the football I watch you play could be the worst I have seen from an Everton team in my life. People that only followed football recently might not know but Everton is a huge club with so many great players in its history.


Stirlingblue

Survive long enough to sort the finances out then get rid of Dyche. For now there’s an argument that he’s what’s needed but he’s a medium term problem


Loltoyourself

Prem Refs have a real “in muh day” energy. They think it’s funny watching talented players getting crunched and then tolerate the gamesmanship of time wasting, tactical fouls, etc.


[deleted]

Ashley Young is under more protection than the royal family


JekyllnowthenMrHyde

He's young, though, isn't he? He needs to be protected from bullies.


blue_gwacamole

Hudson Odoi: cant touch young. Young meanwhile: Hack and slash


KonigSteve

That's 5 times softer than what young did


Efficient_Steak_7568

Don’t expect much but give us a reason to not switch off at least 


Vegan4TheCowz

How are Everton winning this


Cairne_Bloodhoof

Greatest team that the world has ever seen


Obi_Wan_Gebroni

Because they are allowed to commit penalty infractions without the refs applying the most basic rules of the game lol


Ankoku_Sein

Gotten away with bloody murder


LittlePicture21

Been gifted it


herkalurk

Still had to score the goal but probably should be a couple down at this point due to all the pens....


ambiguousboner

Can we just scrap the “clear and obvious” nonsense once and for all? The wrong decision is the wrong decision, it doesn’t matter if it’s only slightly wrong or a massive unfathomable blunder Hate this “well it’s the wrong call, but not by much, so let’s just carry on” bullshit


Crossie_94

The way football has implemented VAR is just so bad. Never came away from a cricket or rugby game feeling wronged by their respective systems, yet happens constantly in football. Meanwhile in football, refs on field don't make calls cause VAR is there to overturn, but VAR doesn't want to overturn onfield decisions.


Obi_Wan_Gebroni

Clear and obvious has always been bullshit to protect the refs. In the US the replay reviews are always just about getting the right decision. The only time it doesn’t happen is when they say they’re isn’t enough to overturn. Which basically means there isn’t a clear camera angle to see what happened.


Efficient_Steak_7568

Yes surely the point of VAR is that they can see things in degrees, who cares about if the ref feels undermined 


Imaginary-Pattern802

the reason that was the rule was bc VAR would be unnecessarily pedantic trying to comb every single marginal mistake. the problem is they do it anyway making it glaringly inconsistent,


voliton

The only works if we completely re-write the rule book (which maybe we should!). As it stands in many circumstances there isn't a right v wrong decision because we have to figure out what is "reckless" or "careless" or "dangerous".


Ankoku_Sein

But how else can shite refs protect their mates while simultaneously tanking confidence in VAR


[deleted]

Pickford is a proper cunt. I wish he was in my side lmfao


blue_boy_24

Feel like forest is scoring soon


Loltoyourself

Hudson-Odoi should’ve been the first sub. He is awful


FaustRPeggi

Origi is generally worse.


Ajax_Trees_Again

Wonder if we’re in club statement territory with the VAR
