He never used to complain about the ref

Thought it was a football forum???

Have a look round all the other forums, they discuss all things football not just their own clubs.

By the way, has Bobby got the toffees champions League football yet?

It’s got to be the most open premier League there’s been for many a year and Everton are still meandering round mid table, below their red counterparts.
Of course I’m more interested in how well the tics are doing, but can’t help having a sneaky laugh when Everton lose.

His team concede 4 at home yet he chooses to call the ref for the penalty decision in his post match interview. Rip into your defense Bobby, that’s what your fans want and what other managers do. It does no harm now and again showing publicly you are not happy with the players.

I honestly think he never sees the frailties in his team or performance, its all about possession and stubbornness / reluctance to change things, that is what is holding him back from being a top manager.

Finally, I still think that ref yesterday was the worst I’ve seen for years, made some good decisions?? when FFS!. The only thing he got right was their penalty. Just ask yourselves [those who went of course],was that a 9 yellow card game?? :lol:[/quote]

Hardly arguing, just dis-agreeing with you as I often do and replying to your question as above.

The obsession with RM by some on here is now bordering on lunacy. Why do they not give nowhere near as much time and effort on the following bunch of dirge that followed him in the hot seat?. Guys not fit to lace his shiny brown shoes and who also between them managed a relegation and not even from the Prem. In the greatest football story ever told two managers have been at the heart of the fairy tale. Paul Jewell and Roberto Martinez. As Idina Menzel sang in the film, LET IT GO.

Football related, so OK here[/quote]

I think you should offer another category called “Samaritans” for those who have difficulty moving on from past events.[/quote]

Does that mean we are not allowed to talk about our FA cup glory a couple of years back? :( ;)[/quote]

We don’t discuss this enough. Instead some prefer to talk about how badly a previous manager who actually won the thing is doing at another club.[/quote]

It’s what you call keeping things topical :cheer:[/quote]

Change the record. It’s worn and played out! :dry:[/quote]

So as yours, the record will continue to play as long I or anyone else, wants to play it. If you don’t want to continue the discussions, butt out, its as easy as that. ;)[/quote]

So it would appear but I’m not the one that keeps bringing up the Martinez topic and boring us all to death. As for butting out you need to be reminded occasionally how pathetic this stalking of a former manager really is, almost as pathetic as trying to argue that despite the town experiencing the worst flooding in decades over a holiday weekend with the emergency services flat out you think arrangements should have been made to ensure a football match takes place.

Or was it a wind-up![/quote]

Nice deflection Samantha, I saw what you did there, very clever! ;)

I thought you might chime in when wind-up was mentioned!
This topic needs to be deflected anyway.

A Happy New Year to you and all my “friends” on here. :)[/quote]

It’s all banter to me, always has been and always will be! Happy New Year to you ;)
