Look on rawk or virtually any one club forum for that matter & you'll see the same level of bile posted about whichever player is the latest fans target.

No need to try & make it into an Evertonian issue.

You don't need to defend your fellow blues either. It's not restricted to blues I know full well but we're talking about the Mirallas tackle so the point is relevant.

I leave you to check out rawk as I'm not as interested in it as you appear to be <ok>
 
Welcome to Hull Suarez will be welcomed as he justly deserves.If we can stop fighting with ourselves long enough to look at what is happening on the pitch.
Everton seem to be operating a shift system for career threatening tackles.Barry did 2 of our players and Suarez got it this match.Their last home match it was a different one.At least til Big Hair was found out it was him every week under Moyes

No you're seemingly more interested in reading Everton forums & seeking out selective comments to repeat on here, that aim to portray Evertonians in a bad light. <whistle>

Well I've yet to create a thread from an article I picked up from an Everton site so I guess you're still one up on me <whistle>

Plus I don't think I've been on rawk at all - so you win that one as well <ok>

I've read the thread Tobes and you slate the physio and then do exactly what he did. You chirped on about the non Gerrard incident. What would you be saying if it was the Everton physio being prevented from getting to one of your players? You'd be having an angina by now...

...Turn it in Tobes, you're wrong and you know it mate!

Prevented? He wasn't 'prevented' from doing anything.

To the rest of you blinkered kopites who seemingly want to believe anything other than the actual reality given some of the tripe posted yesterday.

I sat & closely watched the incident again last night & before arguing with me on this one, try actually doing the same yourselves.....

Suarez is down, a crowd of players surround the referee, Dowd is talking to face to face with Barry with Jagielka & McCarthy stood behind him. The Everton players are obviously fearful that he's going to (rightly) show Mirallas a red.

The Physio appears & comes up behind Dowd, leans towards him & you can clearly see him saying "it's a red" twice into his ear. McCarthy, Jagielka & Barry ALL hear him & go ape. Barry grabs his jacket & Dowd looks round bemused.

Whether this had any relevance to Dowd's decision only he knows, but my suggestion that the physio could have inadvertently spared Mirallas, due to Dowd not wanting to be seen to be influenced by a comment from Liverpools bench was totally valid.

The facts are simple, the physio clearly says "it's a red", there was no 'mishearing' of what he said, there was no 'preventing' of him doing his job (lol @ that one) & the ultimate result was Mirallas got away with a yellow, IMO (note IMO) I think if Dowd was still in 2 minds at the point the physio spoke to him, then that could have swayed him.

Given the previous in this fixture i.e. Gerrard telling 'our Mark' to send off Hibbert when he was going for a yellow card & the uproar that followed it. Then it'd hardly be a surprise if Dowd didn't fancy a potential repeat.

Remember - watch it before coming back with yet more tripe please.

Again, you're condemning our physio for looking out for his own player just like you we're with Gerrards non elbow incident but don't let the double standards bother you there Tobes!
 
Anyway, back to the original point. A player bites another and doesn't even break his skin, yet there's uproar and the PM feels the need to comment on it. A player commits a horror challenge that could have ended an opponent's career, and our Dave says..... nothing. Not about him going relatively unpunished anyway. The same goes for the FA; the ****ers couldn't wait to get their black caps on quick enough after the Suarez bite, but after Mirallas and Rooney? , the Wes Brown atrocity?

Well. life's unfair, innit? Good luck to Mirallas, but even the comments reported today about how he went up to Suarez at the beginning of the game and reminded him of his foul last season in the corresponding game (but honest gov, it had nothing to do with it...) , well if SUAREZ had said that. Bet Dave and the FA would chip in then.

We live in culture where we rather vilify Suarez for his diving, biting antics on the pitch etc but still worship the likes of Giggs who cheats on his wife with his sister in law ...

TBF, the biting was outrageous and outside normal expectancy whereas a bad tackle happens in every game and is seen as a regularity. People will speak out about a one off event but you won't hear a murmur for something that happens regularly. Hell, I don't want to hear the PM talk, he's a prick!

Miralles clearly went for a revenge tackle IMO. Who "tackles" with their eyes closed?

Well, if other fans think we are all lunatics based on the opinions of one or two of our group, then that just demonstrates the severe limitations of their comprehension and intellect, wouldn't you say?

But I'm well aware of your penchant for denying you said or meant things you obviously did say (and therefore, presumably, meant) and we'll be engaged in verbal gymnastics until a week on Wednesday so I'll just leave it here.

How's the weather where you are?
