KARMIC FOOTBALL

Posted by Greg O'Keeffe on February 3, 2008 12:52 PM | 

WHAT goes around comes around.
Generally works out as a truism doesn't it? I hope so. I know it's pointless moaning really, and favourable and unfavoruable, fair and unfair decisions happen all the time in football.

So I won't soak this entry in righteous tears.
But we've had more than our fair share of the unfair and unfavourable so far this season and who knows how costly the latest will be?
Clattenburg and the derby had been discussed enough and the injustice speaks for itself. Amazingly the FA got something right when they dropped one of the ludicrous disrepute charges against Moyes on Friday.
But Wiley and his myopic assistant on Saturday underlined our frustration. It’s not just Everton either obviously.
After Andrew Johnson’s goal had been proved on-side on Sky Sport’s Goals on Sunday (four men playing him on...), Alan Curbishley ruefully trotted out his own gripe-list.
We played well on Saturday and out-performed the home side. We out-sang their drab support too. Everton deserved the points which should have been won with the only goal scored. It never happened.
Let’s hope we get the rub of the green elsewhere and karma sorts it out.

Hmm, you start to wonder don't you. What's the point of playing the game if the officials don't know the rules? Remember the Blackburn game at Goodison where we had three goals chalked off and a keeper given a straight red for a run-of-the-mill handball?

Stop bleating man. You sound like my Uncle Bill. God he can drone on for hours about how unlucky Everton are. He's so relentlessly boring I had to pretend to be upset the other day to shut him up. Booze and Blues, eh?

I'm still trying to work out how 'the better team' lost 4-1 to Arsenal the other week.

Meanwhile, didn't the better team lose to Everton 2-1 at the JJB a few Saturdays ago??? Lot of it around, Greg. **it happens.

Enjoy the blog - keep it up.

Yet again Jack you display wisdom way beyond your tender years. Now about your old man........
Have a word and tell him the blues breezed past Wigan on a Zingari-standard pitch without ever getting out of first gear.

well hopefully referee's will now be pressured into making important decisions our way, much like they do at OT and lets face it, Man Utd have not done badly from that now have they?

should be 3 points clear instead of one, but Rafa's Still Beneathus. Smile!
