La première fois où j’ai assisté à un match d’Everton, c’était dans le cadre de la coupe FA en 1989. Malheureusement, les choses ne se sont pas déroulées comme prévu.

Ce soir, l’équipe n’a pas déçu.

Merci de l’invitation, @andyburnham.

Scores the winning goal, falls backwards off the advertising board, screams into the camera and then shotguns a beer.

I… actually love the MLS?! 🤣🍺

A relentless voice against Israel’s genocide and advocate for Palestinian children. It’s well deserved.

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall is not a dirty player. He’s played 5,219 Premier League minutes and gets a booking every 401 minutes. One booking every seven hours (roughly) hardly constitutes a one-man footballing crime-wave. Yet, this season, the midfielder is the first Premier League player to accumulate five bookings and so has to serve a suspension for Everton’s difficult home game against Crystal Palace on Sunday. He’s playing well, Everton will miss him and it’s a patent injustice.

Dewsbury-Hall’s first three bookings of the season were for fouls against Brighton, Wolves and Villa. His next two were, frankly, a joke: dissent for taking a quick free-kick against Liverpool (when the advantage should be for the team fouled against) and, last night, for a fair tackle on West Ham’s Kyle Walker-Peters in the 90th minute. Dewsbury-Hall’s offence was listed as a foul.

His reaction, and that of Jack Grealish closeby, spoke of experienced professionals who knew it was a ridiculous decision to punish a fair challenge with a free-kick and booking and who instantly expressed their frustration.

Dewsbury-Hall then went full Basil Fawlty, beating the ground. His frustration was understandable: he was trying to launch an attack, trying to win the game, and instead found the referee awarding the opposition a free-kick in a dangerous position for a fair challenge – it’s still a contact game - and also found himself banned for an important match. If the booking had been for dissent there could have been some logic but it was listed as for the foul.

The ref may have been swayed by Walker-Peters' reaction to the challenge. There was contact but no foul. Dewsbury-Hall was going for the ball and won it fairly. Dewsbury-Hall is, of course, culpable for the first three bookings that led to his forthcoming ban. They were fouls. He has to analyse clips of those and work how to avoid bookings in the future. But there is widespread sympathy for him over bookings 4 and 5.

Yellow cards can’t be rescinded but, at the very least, Dewsbury-Hall is owed an explanation from PGMO for the type of decision he described as “mind-boggling". Respect for officials would actually be enhanced by some acknowledgement of their mistakes. A phone-call from refs' chief Howard Webb to Dewsbury-Hall or his manager, David Moyes, would be diplomatic. #EFC
