Everton vs West Ham

[jack.prescott]

How did Marillas stay on the pitch?

Sure the original foul deserves a caution, almost immediately followed by the push on Tomkins.

Credit where it's due though, Clattenburg played a cracking advantage for evertons 2nd!

 

[Harry]

An embarassing reaction by Tompkins however, despise players who act like that

 

[jack.prescott]

Almost as bad as Barkley's dive!!

 

[svenny76]

Why not a yellow for Tomkins?? Can you call it simulation/cheating?

 

[Beezer]

The Clatt ....was already going for his pocket before the push on Tomkins ....so Miralles should have been off !!! but I suppose in quite a Nasty game in premier league terms ..... the ref was very sensible in his decision making ...

 

[Beezer]

And to add to last post ....if he did send Miralles off .....he could have technically Booked Tomkins for his initial push then a second yellow for simulation ......so again sensible refereeing

I was more concerned how the AR failed to spot Lukaku about three yards offside than anything else.

The advantage played by Clattenburg was one of those moments that puts a massive grin on your face and it all worthwhile.

 

[Beezer]

Guys ....it was a good advantage ....but I wold have been disappointed in myself not seeing that one develop !!!

Surely that's a bread and butter job for these top level refs

Offside was a very poor decision .......

Thank you!

I was thinking he same. It was, without doubt, a well played advantage. But I think even I at lowly level 7 Sunday league I'd have spotted this one. At the very top level I'm more impressed if the advantage spotted wasn't something a bit more subtle.

I think for Clatt and his AR it was a fairly bad day at the office. But we've all had one of those days.

Please can you help me with the off-side - which of these actually happened :

option 1
The WH defender made a DELIBERATE SAVE (quoting from LOTG) - ball rebounds to player in off-side position and he gains an advantage - AR got it wrong

option 2
The WH defender DELIBERATELY played AT THE BALL ... this make the deflection irrelevant and the AR got it right

Not trying to split hairs - just want to be 100% that it should have been given as off-side - thanks!

For me it's option 1. The defenders actions are clearly an attempt to block the goal bound shot and therefore should be considered a deliberate save.

Thanks ASM ...

If it had been an attempt to block a pass or intercept a ball over the top - then - not offside ..?

@Alex71 or option 3, it was a clanger. BUT I dislike West Ham with a real passion due to going to school with too many idiotic West Ham fans so all goals against them are good!
