Cliche I know - sometimes they are - sometimes they aren't. I don't think it was, as he was on his way down already IMO.

Re: EPL 21/22
Hence why you were a goalkeeper. Shoulder challenges are shoulder to shoulder, not in the middle of someone's back.Victor Meldrew wrote: ↑Tue Apr 26, 2022 9:34 am No.
Mane was lucky though.
There was another shoulder challenge outside the box either in the Liverpool Or Arsenal game (can’t remember) which wasn’t given either.
50% of bookings for diving are to Everton this season, and Gordon admitted it was no penalty- he said he felt a touch so went down hoping !
Its a non story except for trolls with no idea.

Re: EPL 21/22
Yes, it was noticed. There were actually three omissions in total but I tried to cut CUNS some slack. The ironic thing is he pulled theorakle up for missing a full stop and did the very same himself.Victor Meldrew wrote: ↑Thu Apr 28, 2022 6:47 pmAlso I’d?thebeautifulgame wrote: ↑Thu Apr 28, 2022 5:20 pmAnd I like to defend the older citizens of this forum- Can someone buy you an Apostrophe in it's a debating forum?C U Next Saturday wrote: ↑Thu Apr 28, 2022 4:41 pmId like to debate the way you murder the English language..

Re: EPL 21/22
The penalty decision could be given but Gordon diving earlier in the game went against him. There wasn’t a clear and obvious error so VAR couldn’t intervene in my opinion. I’ve seen softer penalties given, but also seen harsher fouls missed.

Re: EPL 21/22
Haha, love to see Dirty Leeds go down, got so many mates that support them, but Everton look nailed on favourites unfortunately.
Good to see my second team, Fulham, come back up.
