    I hate the argument of “what’s the intent, it’s not intentional” from the commentators. When is a handball ever intentional. Very rarely do they deliberately do it, and when they do it’s akin to Suarez. Are we saying handballs are only handballs when it’s a Gibbs/Oxlade Chmaberlain, Suarez moment? He’s got his arm out like an idiot in an unnatural position, stopping a cross. Easily a penalty

    Following the Young discourse, I’ll be fascinated to see how people who moan about every reffing decision contort themselves to make this a controversy.

    It honestly grinds my gears that pundits in 2023 are still mentioning intent when discussing hand balls. Intentional hand balls are red cards. Intent is irrelevant when deciding on a penalty or free kick.

      Easy to say. It’s completely natural to have your arms out when you are running and turning

      Literally the two big decisions in this game were so easily avoidable by Everton. They’ve defended so well too.

        Myklenko was excellent in the first half. Had it tough after the card but he kept Salah v quiet that first 45

    The other 2 penalty shouts were very weak but this one would have been absurd if not given

    I never want to see Keane on the pitch for us again

    Dyche’s faith in him makes me question an otherwise decent job he’s doing. Shambles.

    That’s bizarre positioning of the arm from Keane and he really can’t complain
