Andy, Paul and Lyndon jumped on to vent about the decision by Chris Kavanagh and Craig Pawson to send off Dominic Calvert-Lewin in the goalless Cup tie at Selhurst Park that, in the absence of a successful appeal, will deprive Everton of the striker for 3 games.
They touch on the performance as a whole and some individual performances but end up back where they started – venting about the ineptness of the officials and the ruin of the game by re-refereeing of games from Stockley Park.

That stat of us playing just 2 mins against teams reduced to 10-men as a result of a sending-off in over 3 years is just unbelievable!

Here we have now one of the most thoughtful, precise, brilliant tackles I have ever seen, where there is the most minimal contact possible.
Is it down to intent? Then no red card for Calvert-Lewin. Does waving a fist at an opponent 5 metres away warrant a red card? They're making it up as they go along.

The panel are not alone in questioning the point of the game at elite level. The VAR has got worse. The more the authorities try to improve it, the more knots they tie themselves in and the worse it gets.

I'd base them at Bletchley Park so they could use Colossus and channel the spirit of Alan Turing to come to the right decision. That should sort it out.

It really is laughable how shite the English footballing authorities have messed up the use of technology to make things even worse, rather than better. Imbeciles.
