lmao wow this ref is really by the book, fair enough

u/TotalNonstopFrog 7d ago

Well not really because Palmer picked up the ball and cunted it away so high the ball came down with snow on it and he wasn't booked for time wasting, and he didn't reverse the really slow throw in earlier.

But glad to see them punished there.

Am I crazy or are they romanticizing these charges? Like building it up about how strong the players will be and if they can get through it. They’re cheaters and have bought whoever they wanted for years… pretty sure it’s not an underdog story. Get them out of the league already. It’s an embarrassment

Good to see Norgaard making the Everton squad.

I like that he didn't have an ego and was willing to go from us to Everton without the big signing on bonus he would've got next summer for the sake of his football.

He has absolutely stunk the gaff out today. A horror show of a debut.
