Also low key horrible time to do it from a schedule point of view. Busy period, vital points, and now you miss three matches because you could not control yourself for ten seconds.
End of the day he has probably cost himself more in fines, appearance bonuses and reputation than any of us will ever put on a single bet. Sometimes the biggest gamble in football is just keeping your head.
Everton board looking at this plus his previous stuff and thinking that contract termination button has never looked so shiny. clubs love a reason to get an expensive veteran off the books.
kinda curious what the dressing room chat actually was. did someone step in and tell them to shut it until tomorrow or was it ten minutes of awkward silence and boots being thrown at lockers.
Refs are clowns plenty of times but this one is on gueye. you can shout, you can sulk, you can wave your arms. once you go for the face you are cooked.
some of the takes about ‘passion’ here are wild too. passion is tracking your runner in the 90th, not throwing a slap at your centre back because a shot went wide on twelve minutes. lads confuse tantrums with competitiveness.
give it a month and some random cup tie in holland will top this with two teammates both seeing red after a scrap and everyone will be posting this clip again saying ‘walked so they could run’
from a betting point it is also a reminder to never feel too safe on a prem favourite just because they get an early gift. these teams can still find insane ways to throw it away.
I wonder how long before managers start putting ‘no hands to the head even in arguments’ into internal codes with fines attached. clubs will want to protect themselves from exactly this kind of nonsense.
For me it is simple. Red is correct, behaviour is unacceptable and Everton deserve credit for still winning in spite of it. The rest is just noise and jokes, which the internet will provide forever anyway.
