Go For It Davey

Could any Evertonian have doubted it? Did Davey want a personal hearing? I know more about this than I do about what bears do in the woods.
The FA wanted nothing of this because Moyes has right ? and evidence ? on his side. It took them 38 days to bring the charge, and only after whisky Alex got involved by telling Clattenburg what he thought of him.
You don't get a hearing to be found innocent, but Davey will do us proud without a doubt.

Don?t be surprised to see Taggart and Moyes go hand in hand and show up the incompetency of the FA and their dire choice of refereeing.

He has all the evidence he needs and i suspect neutral fans / clubs will be watching for what the outcome is, the statements released afterwards etc etc. I’m desperate to know what was said between him and Clattenburg.
I’ve had my beef with Moyes in the past (tactics, team selection) but the one thing i like about him, is when things like this occur, he’s brilliant when he gets going, i;m glad he’s fighting our corner. There’s no better man to have in this case than Moyes.
His response to the Derby and Dick Advocaat last night shows what a man he is in these situations, he’s got class that Advocatt / Benitez can only dream of.
Sir Alex’s help would be nice but i think Moyes will be a formidable enough opponent for the FA on his own. He has nothing to lose and loads of respect to gain from other supporters and clubs.
If it gets whitewashed Davey should tell us what was said between him and Clattenburg.

The old men in Black Blazers who sit on those committees are usually the sole living survivors from World War I left in the country, it is a kangaroo court they do not listen to reason or argument, the referee is always right irrespective of who he is or what he did.
Surely it is about time these hearings where adjudicated by independent legal people who do not employ the referees in the first place who can take an unbiased view at proceedings.
A referree literally can get away with murder on a football field, what do they say refs are people who commit robbery and then get a police escort from the stadium afterwards.

I’ve been infront of county FA panels myself (Once was deserved, the other was ridiculous) the referee’s and the people who run the FA have never played football that is whay they find it hard to see fouls the way we do, they also have that schoolteacher/schoolby mentality of talking down to you & waving you away with overly camp gestures and getting out yellow cards (which are fully backed by superiors) when you attempt to talk to them without using swearwords or insults!!!
We are grown men, as are the proffesionals that play the game & if referee’s spoke to you like men & explained what they had given decisions for then you would find a mistakes would be forgiven more & people would have more respect for them.

Something you have reminded me about - yes, we pay the players wages, and we complain about that when we want to.
But, one way or another, we pay the referees’ wages too. The FA wouldn’t exist if it wasn’t for us. And we pay too much for the service we get.
