Today’s Games 2023-2024

[Bognor_Wolf]

Makes me laugh had two big decisions go their way and the Everton fans still act hard done by here haha!

 

[NJ Wolves]

I wouldn’t say his arm was in unnatural position there. When you stretch your leg out your arms will naturally come out for balance. If anything having your hands straight by your side is unnatural.

That's fine. But I guarantee penalties have been given for the exact same thing this season

 

[berwickwolf]

Forest could have had 2 penalties. We've had both those given against us.

 

[maws]

It's only a penalty if it hits your hand after your thigh, right? No, I'm not still bitter about Luton A

Exactly we’ve had such soft penalties given against us, the Newcastle one was less of a penalty than the other one Forest just had turned down earlier in the half

 

[Clipboard]

That hand ball was surely a pen. Wtf?

 

[Royal wolf]

Agreed. The consistency is the issue

The EPL don't want Everton relegated.

 

[PulverWolf]

WTF weve had pens against for less obvious this season ,,,, what is VAR doing ,,,oh i forget everton are a legacy club so absolutley **** all

This is the thing.
% of football fans who think it should be handball - very low
% of fans who think it would have been given against them very high

 

[Oh When the Wolves]

See I don’t think it’s a pen as it is so close, but they have been given all season those ones

What an absolute mess refereeeing and VAR is in this country

Swiftly followed by Taylor ignoring a head injury to allow a forest attack to continue. He should be sacked for that alone . Criminal

It's a problem of interpretation and inconsistency isn't it? Natural to one person is unnatural to another. I joked about the pen at Luton above but it illustrates your point - Gomes stretched for the ball and his arms came up to balance. It's "natural". But it can easily be twisted/interpreted to "had his arm in the air" by a Ref or the VARmin at Stockley Park. In fact, had it been Man City etc. claiming handball, you can be sure that VAR would have a slightly closer look.

See two things here.

Doesn't matter how close it is, if he's made his body bigger then it's a pen regardless. That's marginal for me.

THe whole head injury thing has been massively overplayed in recent years . It was about someone actually dying, it was initially applied to people who were knocked out, now it seems that an eyelash out of place is classed as a head injury.

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

Said it before say it again now

They will do anything to keep Everton up and stop them going into oblivion. Part of the PL heritage club aren’t they that helps the PL product….

Anything to save little old toffees

 

[CelebrityWolf]

Good job you don't read the mix, the Wolves fans do that every week....

 

[kidder_wolf_II]

That’s another penalty that’s been ignored by Taylor and VAR

 

[NJ Wolves]

"in other circumstances that would be given a penalty"

Yeah, in circumstances where they're not trying to protect the big club

 

[Ewok vs Wolf]

Referees and VAR against Nuno again

 

[Yorkshire Wolf]

Starting to think Ashley young has something on the ref

 

[Bognor_Wolf]

Good job you don't read the mix, the Wolves fans do that every week....

Can't recall a game we have had two big decisions like that go our way this season tbh...

 

[RosehillWolf]

How ridiculous this game is. That’s 3 penalties Forest should have had.

 

[NJ Wolves]

The corruption is blatant and I'm no conspiracy theorist.

100% both would have been given against us if it were against say, Man United. 100%

 

[old wittonian]

Pickford and VAR having a mare. How did MGW miss that.

 

[Oh When the Wolves]

What a miss by Mgw

 

[sedgwolf1980]

Burnley v Forest last game of the season could be interesting

 

[WW1963]

Love forest to go down, can’t stand them

Forest on top, should have (apparently) had at least one penalty and Everton fans have that nervous quietness about them.

Everton look very likely to go into administration, so with Leicester heading for a points deduction if they go up, we can relax next season when/if a third of the squad is sold and we recycle under GON's vision for the club.

I cannot wait for Everton to finally flush. I also despise Forest.

 

[WW1963]

2-0

 

[NJ Wolves]

This game is crazy. Everton haven't done anything all game and are up 2-0

 

[WW1963]

Never finished my last point. Forest could easily do what we did under Nuno with the Mendes connection - and usurp us in a few seasons if the pieces fit together and we sell too many and GON leaves.

Everton are just going to wax worse.

Better that Forest go down this season and Everton next season.

 

[berwickwolf]

Forest have some good players, but many of them look half a yard of the pace, whether through commitment or whatever. At least Gibbs White has a bit of a fight about him.

Good point.

 

[Oh When the Wolves]

McNeil would be great here

 

[The Wolf In The North]

Could end up a cricket score at Selhurst Park, West Ham have given up for the season.

 

[Watfordfc]

Big win for Everton but Forest will definitely feel aggrieved

 

[RosehillWolf]

Forest have been totally screwed over here

 

[SingYourHeartsOut]

Players potentially seriously injured 10 yards outside the Forest penalty area. Perfect opportunity for Pickford to come and start shouting at the ref obviously.

Looked knocked out

 

[NJ Wolves]

Reaction from Everton players implies this was seriously bad. Hope he's ok. Can't help but think of Raul

 

[DanishWolf]

They were poor when we played them too. Ridiculous that we gave away that Second half.

 

[Jay Jay de Wolf]

IMHO MGW does a similar thing to Beto as Daivid Luis did to Raul Jimenez in heading the side of the head of opponent instead of heading the ball.

 

[SingYourHeartsOut]

Looked knocked out

Yes, correctly instantly stopped for an actual head injury
