Everton have been deducted another 2 points for a further breach of the PL financial rules.

Whatever speed you play the clip at Nil Elliot makes no attempt to land his right foot in a natural position, he keeps it back and initiates the contact with AWB. The speed of the pictures makes no difference and cannot change the simple fact that he makes no attempt to land his foot. He was going down before the contact at whatever speed you wish to view the film.

We’d all defend our players in the same situation, so I get why you are, but simple facts aren’t changed by the speed of the footage.

It’s a clear dive, he doesn’t even try to plant his right foot in a natural stride position – in would have been much further in front of where he ended up making contact with AWB. Absolutely see why it was given but that was a played for and got decision and those have to be the incidents we want to see driven out of the game – no matter whose team does it (and all do).

Makes a mockery of VAR too, though VAR doesn’t need any help in that regard. Clear punch on Yates by Maddison yesterday and a VAR / ref bottle job double act.

Good old VAR, let someone get away with a punch.

It really needs refs to sit down and agree what is a foul and what is a dive and then get VAR to re-ref.

That’s the thing Ed, he was always going down. He ran into a player on the floor.

He was going down anyway.

So Doku, who’s owners pay PL refs lots of money to ref in Saudi Arabia, can kick a player in the chest and it’s not a foul, but when two people have feet high and one wins the ball, that’s a foul and a booking. Mmm.

If you want to keep an eye on Rashford, Nil, look 5 yards away from where he needs to be and he will be walking in that spot.

Howard Webb must be crying now though.
Er, yeah, Dalot was stupid, Gvardiol was just unlucky, therefore one is a pen and the other not.

Also looks like a ‘stupid’ challenge, so passes the mav threshold for a pen. Maybe that’s not official though.

Because CM, Man City pay refs lots of money to officiate in Saudi Arabia and refs are only human and won’t bite the hand that feeds.

You can’t get booked for being stupid. It either was a foul or it wasn’t. Fella took a dive which usually results in it not being a pen.

We were told there was a higher threshold in the box for a fouls following the Duko high kick on MacCallister a couple of weeks back and on Monday Howard Webb will tell us both were fully deserved penalties.

And he came on as a sub, so was fresh and should have had a point to prove.

I wouldn’t mind if it was the same for both teams, but every time Chelsea players threw themselves to the ground it was a free kick. We got nothing all game.

Ref was always going to play until they won.

Eight minutes added time and two of the softest penalties ever.

Was there any contact at all for the Chelsea pen? Surely VAR sends the ref to the monitor.

Just seen Andy Cole in my local M&S. I’m assuming it’s normal to tell another man that you love him? He didn’t seem to reciprocate my affection though and was more interested in picking the best kiwi fruits.
