Anyone see Pickford's challenge on the West Ham player, the guy is a wrong un. No card as usual. Nearly ended VVD's career and nearly caused a potential injury again.
27 Apr 2026 18:10:44
He's always been a world class p@#£k in my opinion. Sorry Ed025.
{Ed025's Note - he is a bit of a divi Westwood but still one of the best keepers in the league mate..
27 Apr 2026 18:41:42
What pisses me off is Moyes screaming like a stuck pig about a hand ball while not a mention or apology about prickfords tackle red card all day but like VVD tackle nothing done I think he has something missing in the head the prick is brain dead. YNWA
{Ed025's Note - there was nothing wrong with the challenge by Pickford Albey, he was cleared by the ref and VAR, its only bitter little divvies like you who look for a reason to hate Everton that it effects, my advice to you would be to grow up, calm yourself down and direct your vitriol and hatred towards people who deserve it like Trump or Netanyahu..
27 Apr 2026 19:29:20
In my opinion it's the officials' fault.
Where is the ref, his line people, and VAR?
Player safety is their responsibility.

Eds25 spreads his legs better than my mrs
{Ed025's Note - hes a very agile and athletic athlete Ace, he spreads himself very well and if someone gets in his way then thats their look out mate, there are too many big tarts now who roll around if someone farts by them, these players need to man up imo..
27 Apr 2026 19:43:48
Ed25, I think there is no need to find any excuse to hate on Everton. Pickford alone provides enuff material for that.
{Ed025's Note - hes a character alright Oli and whether you like it or not a damn fine keeper mate, some people will have ulterior motives and because he plays for a rival will hate him anyway and look for excuses to confirm their narrative, Liverpool fans have very short memories and used to adore players like Souness, Jimmy Case and Tommy Smith who would think nothing of trying to break someones leg, throwing sly punches and grating their studs down someones shin, it was all part of the game then they proclaim..
27 Apr 2026 21:54:27
He's a dirty little b****** alright, sure he had every right to challenge for the ball but definitely led with his studs intentionally to catch Castellanos if he couldn't get to it. The worst part was the fact that Pickford stood over him afterwards shouting at him to get up when he knew full well he went right through him.
It's a clever bit of psychology from his perspective but scummy, none the less.
{Ed025's Note - its not scummy Chewy its gamesmanship, he sort of does a star jump to spread his body and if a player gets in his way then thats his fault..he may think twice the next time mate, he done nothing wrong as backed up by the officials and VAR, some people just look for things to bash him with but long may it continue i say..
27 Apr 2026 20:17:51
Yes ED25 then not now. If those challenges were made by a outfield player in todays game red card. Nothing to do with blues and reds just obvious. I agree there is too many pussys playing today but, by the rules Pickford should have had a card on more than one occasion.
{Ed025's Note - i dont know why a keeper should be treated any different to an outfield player myself Stevie, if its a foul its a foul mate..
27 Apr 2026 21:23:23
I can't lie Ed, I dislike Pickford immensely, he's a ginger bellend, but the caveat is that if we had a player with that kind of nasty edge in midfield kicking lumps out of people, I'd absolutely love it. Anyone saying differently is only lying to themselves.
{Ed025's Note - spot on VV..
27 Apr 2026 21:37:05
Ed025 you're right about all the hard men we had at Liverpool n i loved the game more then than i do now, I watch the football now with my younger nephews and the scream foul for shirt pulls n want booking for mis-timed tackles etc, different wimpy era now
{Ed025's Note - it is you know Strom and the game is poorer for it mate, i went to see my brothers grandson a month or 2 ago playing in U-10,s football final with all the family, the kids when they got tackled rolled around on the floor and i could not believe my eyes, the game is finished im afraid..
27 Apr 2026 23:41:49
Pickford would be a liability in a top team. He gets away with a lot at Everton. He was poor for both goals in the derby. For the first goal, he should have reached that ball before Salah if he had attempted to. For the second, the ball came into the centre of the goal, six yards out, and he was rooted to his line.
28 Apr 2026 01:55:34
Nah, he didn't do a star jump, he lunged forward, leading with his studs directly towards Castellanos. Gamesmanship can be very scummy. He knew exactly what he did, and that's why he immediately commenced with the gamesmanship afterwards.
Castellanos didn't get in his way, Castellanos hardly moved. Pickford ran and lunged, covering about 12 yards, entering Castellanos' space, and did so with dangerous intent. It's a red card literally anywhere else on the pitch.
{Ed025's Note - what in christs name is "dangerous intent", the intent part means he did not actually make contact Chewy...case proven i think my old friend.. :)
27 Apr 2026 22:38:10
Ed025, I remember Phil Neville playing for yous and the fans were a bit iffy with him at first, then in one game he done a proper hard but fair tackle, the crowd loved it, the atmosphere went up, fans took to him after that.now we have players falling over at the slightest touch but the worst thing is, they're not even embarrassed by it, n the kids look up to these players n copy what they do
{Ed025's Note - it does get the crowd up Strom and i love a good strong tackle myself mate, its going out of the game now as it becomes a basically non-contact sport and half the players dont train as much because they spend a lot of time at RADA taking acting lessons, its certainly not the game i grew up with..
28 Apr 2026 11:17:11
"Liverpool fans have very short memories and used to adore players like Souness, Jimmy Case and Tommy Smith who would think nothing of trying to break someone's leg."
If you have to go that far to defend your point, then you already lost the debate, cos LFC fans can do the same with Everton players from the past. You know why? Cos tons of players from "insert club here" were doing the same thing, cos that is the era they were in, fact.
Such challenges don't work now. But, by all means, you are free to remain in such an era, as it seems that is your only argument to deflect from the frequent reprehensible conduct of your player.
The fact remains that your "one of the best GK's around" is a reckless headcase and a grave danger (with a wrap sheet to prove it) to his colleagues on the pitch who tries to hurt players near every time he gets. He's your guy. He's your problem. Not arsed.
{Ed025's Note - can i ask you a question Oli..are you e vegetarian?, you seem to be one of the PC brigade mate who want all sports to become non-contact and ban the likes of heading or tackling, i see the game as a contact sport myself and thats why i think the game has gone soft..just my opinion of course..
28 Apr 2026 12:22:47
Hey Ed25 I admire your desire to defend your player.
I too think the game is a lot softer than it used to be for sure, to the detriment of the game.
That said I have a decent blend of red and blue chaps and ladies in my place and all bar one blue suggested it was a red card offence and you "got away with one".
We can put the usual banter to aside here in the workplace and discuss quite well the football rivalry aside.
We have however moved on we can only hope going forwards officials can make more correct decisions than wrong ones.
Have a great day.
{Ed025's Note - yeah Bobby i suppose it depends on what colour specs you wear at times mate, Pickford is not everybodys cup of tea and i get that but love him or hate him he is a character and thats one thing that is missing in the game these days i feel, you have great day as well my friend..
28 Apr 2026 14:51:11
Oh, for sure we are missing those, tech alone has run this into the ground.
One day we will arrive at football becoming non-contact if the current path is maintained.
The art of the slide tackle is one that is being lost, as will heading be in coming years, albeit for probably good cause. (The heading that is).
