Billy's Red Was Right

Brad Taylorwhat i dont understand is how inconsistant the refs are. Billys tackle won the ball yes, but he was sent of due his studs being up. where ethutu's tackle on neville?? didnt win the ball and fully followed through. a much worse tackle than billy but not even a foul!. heads up boys once we get the wounded back points will come!! restore our position in the league and strong eroupe effort and ill be happy:)

bobby keegannow i see why felliani cost so much money.great display saturday from the lad.

Mark ReidHe is available for the Merseyside Derby. Misses West Ham (A), Man U (A) and Hull (A) then is available for the Kopites on November 29th (H). Concentrate on signing another winger in January and getting Pienaar back fit. The FA won't listen and just dig their heels in anyway.

Andrew Christianwe need you for the derby, MOYES PEASE appeal, no harm in tryin! i was happy with the way we played on sat even though our squad is tight, we need to start winnin again, staring wiv reveng aganst benfica, they are gonna get a fright when the come to goodison park,

Dave BrewMoysie..Make an appeal man. I watched the tackle a few times on the sky program "goals on sunday" and clearly Billy's foot gives way as he goes in for the tackle, it was a yellow card. Even Kammy thought the ref had got it wrong! The others across the park are allegidley planning to appeal the two red cards they received, I bet they win those appeals, even though they where clearly red cards.

Ryan GordonI Agree with Kevin James! Whats MOTDs problem, We are always on last! We'd probably be last on the football league show!! i mean week after week we are always last. Liverpool are always on because of Alan Hansen -_-. Anyway, we need pienaar and jagielka back and obviously arteta!

alexis leungWe lost 2 points and Billy in that game. I haven't seen Villa played that bad in many years and we let them off the hook. Jo can do Billy's job easily. Cahill is an attacker but there must be a DVD for sale somewhere teaching defenders how to stop him scoring from set pieces. Time to sort out new tricks, King Cahill! I also believe that it is hard to win a game at this level starting with our new boys. Look at the figures.

francis donnarummai think this was a yellow at best. he just went in strong and won the ball. his studs were up but his feet were pretty much on the floor. players wear shin pads anyway.

Lawrence SharpI thought Bily was unlucky... definitely a foul, and worth a yellow, but a straight red ? I'm not too sure... I agree with those who have commented on our lack of creativity. With both Arteta and Pienaar out we lack invention. Even so, I thought we had the best of the play and were a little unlucky not to get all three points... at half-time I worried about our concentration in the opening exchanges of the second half, and sure enough, it was in the first minute after the break that we surrendered two points ! But a better performance all the same. COYB.

paul folancome on all the fans who is gonna be there this week lets make as much nosie as we did with villa or even more lets get right behind the blue men

Alan GarnerImagine David Moyes as the Fat Waiter or Self-indulgent Ferguson: "We are appealing Billy's sending off. He clearly wasn't involved in the incident; the seriously underfit official wasn't even on the pitch at the time; this is all part of a plan which began with the assassination of President Kennedy in the '60's to undermine Everton's position at the top of the football spectrum. We shall be appealing to soon-to-be President Blair Witch for a European ruling. Take it on the chin, Rafa. Carra should have gone against United, never mind Fulham! Blues to win the Derby 2-1.

Malcolm BubbAgree with Steve Carthy - Bily' definitely SLIPPED as he went in. As a result the grounded foot went forward too, making it a two footed challenge. This may also have brought his feet higher as happens when someone falls backwards. Definite grounds for APPEAL.

Jordan LittleI hope Pienaar is back for the Benfica game, we'll need him! COYB!!!

brennan finneganAgree with Sean Maher about no creativity and defensive lapses costing us, but one action iv missed recently is Tim at the corner flagpost. The captaincy seems to have affected his form.

Steve CarthyThis is a red card that should be APPEALED. Billy was slipping as he challenged Petrov and a yellow card should have sufficed. Had Probert given the foul on Baines which led to the challenge then this would not have happened. Any reason why Yobo was not captain instead of Cahill ? How long before Pienaar is back. We havn't won a game whilst he has been missing..... No Creativity !!!!!

Kevin JamesIt's just one of those things. Like the classic phrase 'i've seen them given' Better performance, poor defending for the villa goal, fellaini and gosling didn't react quick enough. My fiancee wanted to know if we had changed our name to "and finally everton" as that's all Mr linaker seems to say now. Seriously what's motd's problem with us!!

Stan DalzielFor once I disagree with DM's assessment of billy's challenge Almost everbody to a man in the Park End was certain he got the ball, & the Villa player was getting up until he saw the ref walking over,he slumped back like someone in the main stand had shot him no doubt the ref was influenced by that. Nice to see Billy on the score sheet. I will love to see him when Arteta's pulling the strings in the middle. COYB Benfica beckon

david okafogreat billy, i really believe with this performance, u are npt only going to be in the first team when all the guys are back from injury, but will go on to become a legend at this club........COYB!!!!!!

Paul MaherOnce again the wasting of chances, the lack of creativity and just not being able to keep a clean sheet cost us 2 points. How much longer is this going to go on for?
