Louis Posted March 18, 2007 Report Posted March 18, 2007 Everton have been fined by the FA for earning 6 yellow cards in the game against Arsenal. Both Johnson and Anichebe were booked for celebrating the winner. Small price to pay for 3points that could take us into Europe Quote
thebluenose Posted March 18, 2007 Report Posted March 18, 2007 holy shit 6 yellows. dont really care no-one got banned and we got 3pts Quote
Gwlad Posted March 18, 2007 Report Posted March 18, 2007 Everton have been fined by the FA for earning 6 yellow cards in the game against Arsenal. Both Johnson and Anichebe were booked for celebrating the winner. Small price to pay for 3points that could take us into Europe I couldn't see anything wrong with the celebration, then again it was against the Arses so the ref probbly saw it as fair game for yellow cards.

Louis Posted March 18, 2007 Author Report Posted March 18, 2007 The ref booked them for timewasting.... celebrated for 2mins of the 3mins extra time.. cant argue with that As I said... who cares... 3points closer to Europe. Quote
aaron Posted March 18, 2007 Report Posted March 18, 2007 thought it was coz they crossed over the billboards? Quote
Romey 1878 Posted March 18, 2007 Report Posted March 18, 2007 The ref was card happy today, at every opportunity he booked an Everton player but constantly let Arsenal players off with warnings Quote
GoldfishMemory Posted March 19, 2007 Report Posted March 19, 2007 To be fair Cars & a few others could have gone for the rash challenging in midfield but we set our stall out to bully them and paid the price but most importantly we fuckin won, gerrin there lads COYB! Quote
xsaint Posted March 19, 2007 Report Posted March 19, 2007 The ref was card happy today, at every opportunity he booked an Everton player but constantly let Arsenal players off with warnings Yep i would agree with that....even my dad was supprised by the ref's actions! Then again, we took 4 points off the 6 available from them, just alike how we did to the red shites!! hahaha Quote
thebluenose Posted March 19, 2007 Report Posted March 19, 2007 well to be honest if he didnt give AJ a pen for lehaman (twat) rugby tackle. he wernt gonna give us much Quote
Joe Posted March 19, 2007 Report Posted March 19, 2007 To be fair Cars & a few others could have gone for the rash challenging in midfield but we set our stall out to bully them and paid the price but most importantly we fuckin won, gerrin there lads COYB!Speaking of Cars, he had his best game of the season yesterday. He played extremely well not only getting back to defend, he seems to do that well, but also getting up in the attack. Hopefully he can carry that over to next match. Quote
J*A*C*K*E*L*Z Posted March 19, 2007 Report Posted March 19, 2007 (edited) speaking of bans fernandes is now walking a tight rope as he is on 4 bookings one more an he will be out for an game and we will miss him alot especialy if its in a crucnh game witch could be vital to are europian qualification i would rather he miss a non important game. witch there is non of now lol Edited March 19, 2007 by Jackelz Quote
Zed Posted March 19, 2007 Report Posted March 19, 2007 Did anyone watch it on the telly? Did you see stubbs yellow, from where I was sitting it looked a great tackle and fair, but these things can be deceptive, how did it come across on the TV Quote
GoldfishMemory Posted March 19, 2007 Report Posted March 19, 2007 Did anyone watch it on the telly? Did you see stubbs yellow, from where I was sitting it looked a great tackle and fair, but these things can be deceptive, how did it come across on the TV It was an old school tackle Zed, he was booked cos he went to ground and hit him head on plus the other foot was up with the first by the time he won the ball! Not even a free kick 5 years ago but in todays game some ref's may have waved a red had he hurt the arsenal player (??) I thought it was a fair booking according to todays ruling. The Lehman rugby tackle was a deffo penalty tho' just in front of you wasnt it Zed?? Quote
Zed Posted March 19, 2007 Report Posted March 19, 2007 It was right in front of me, but unlike most people around me I thought it was a very good interception by lehman, he got the ball I thought Quote
Louis Posted March 19, 2007 Author Report Posted March 19, 2007 I saw it on the tele and it was a fair challenge for the ball. His arms did wrap around Aj for a split second but he didn't pull him away from the ball, his target was the ball Quote
GoldfishMemory Posted March 19, 2007 Report Posted March 19, 2007 He he did get the ball but he went through the man to do it! Consider it had been a centre half in the same position, Lehman's body hit AJ before his hand hit the ball tis like stubbsy clattering into the back of someoe but clearing the ball too IMO. Ball & Man = Penalty in my book! Quote
Ian Posted March 19, 2007 Report Posted March 19, 2007 Wasnt aware that AJ and Vic got booked, I was too busy getting hugged from the lad behind Didnt think the ref had an awful game, a bit petty but he got the big decisions right. Stubbs' wasnt a booking from where I was sitting but it was his own fault for giving the ball away Quote
