Take a bow Solly.

Made all the sweeter by half the team prepared to give them the ball back.

LEGENDARY.

If that had been in reverse we would have been throwing all the names under the sun at them.

to be fair ... its the ref who should decide it and he said play on ... on the replay you can clearly see Richarlson fell over his own ankle so wasn't a head injury or life/limb threatening so Albion well within their rights to play on

The game is played to the whistle so why shouldn't he have carried on, it annoys me when i see us kicking the ball out before the ref has blown.

Richarlison was a joke, full on hysteronics, playacting, toys out the pram the works. The sooner players and refs only stop the game for serious injuries the better. Fantastic we played on, I bloody loved it and the little fella going ballistic and getting booked.

There was no reason for the ref to blow the whistle. The rules say not to unless he's going to die. Richarlison clearly went to school with Zaha.

Was listening on TalkSport 2 while driving home from work. I think Perry Groves was the co-commentator and he was positively delighted that we took the ball upfield. As said already, Coleman tried to play on but lost possession. If they didn't feel the need to stop play for one of their own then there's certainly no need for us to do so.

I always get titsy when teams 'do the right thing'.
I was getting very agitated as Propper (I think) was shaping up to kick it out.

The Everton players reaction to Solly just iced the cake.


We could have lost 0-10 with Solly scoring all 10 and I'd still be singing his praises tonight. :lol:.

This should happen more often, players are doing this as a tactic. Go down after losing the ball and pretend you have a career ending injury. Ref stops play and the counter attack and the ball is given back to the opposition goalkeeper.
