Match Day Thread General matchday thread.

Everton snatched a red card from the jaws of a goal... weird one.. no common sense but by the rules it's a red.

 

Our players have been off the pitch for over 20 minutes now because of a medical emergency in the stands. Why does play stop because of that? ****ing stupid.

 

This happened at the toon vs Tottenham a few seasons back. It provided some entertainment because a bloke got lamped for recording the incident by some tattooed ****wit Neanderthal.... I had front row seats for the altercation.... the bloke scurried out holding the rails on his way down...highly entertaining

 

Because someones life is more important than a football match.

 

Remeber when VVD died because of such a tackle.

 

When watched in real time you can 100% see why he has to go for the ball. You can argue that there's bad luck that he ends up getting Pickford in the way he did but that's got to be a red I think and he's got to be glad that Pickford doesn't get a serious injury from it. Brentford haven't been the better team overall, a draw so far seems fair.

 

Yes it is. How does stopping the match help that, though?

I’ve been to plenty of games when a fan has fallen ill and medical teams rush to them. The game was never stopped. It’s only a new thing that’s been happening recently and it’s daft.

 

I imagine Jordan just brushed the muck from his leg and carried on.

 

Less noise and comotion basically, helps the medics do their job easier.

 

But were the fans in trouble in the previous games just Sunderland fans? Probably not worth stopping for that really.

 

Apparently we are playing the last 5 mins of the first half soon. Stopping for a very short break and then playing the second half. It’s basically a 40 minute first half and 50 minute second half game.

 

I really like Pickford and always have. I can understand why many of our fans have a go at him (and he gives it back and it's all fair enough really) but no idea why he still seems to be underrated around the country, he's clearly Englands number 1 and has been for ages.

 

That was never a problem for the 100 years before this change.

Probably because you just made that up.

 

Yeah. He’s got his weaknesses like everyone else but for me there’s no doubt he’s Englands number 1. He doesn’t even have any competition for the shirt, at the moment.

 

No it's just common sense.

 

If someone having a heart attack, maybe the shock of a goal brings them back from the near dead.

 

Everton hold on for a point

 

Will join in with you.

didnt watch it….

will have to wait u til highlights to see how we battled to hold on.

 

Comfortable win for us today. Good to see us bounce back with a good performance after thr international break.

mon the spuds you useless ****s
