I still am having difficulty understanding Romero's red card. He played the ball first and just happened to clatter the other guy afterward. Sure what happen after wasn't good but it was in the act of playing the ball. This VAR in soccer and rugby has to be improved. Haven't look at Rashfords's one today yet.
The game changed 20 years ago, you can’t make contact with the ball and then follow through studs up into someone’s shin anymore. That isn’t controversial.
@Dodge Yes, not a hard rule to understand. Like when Villa played Chelsea earlier in the season, my Chelsea mates were sulking when Gusto followed through and caught Lucas Digne studs up after collecting the ball. Was a clear red today. Didn't seem to whinge so much after the Tottenham game funnily enough.

Chelsea vs MC was a great watch.

In 2 weeks there are some scintillating fixtures starting with MC vs Liverpool.

What a disgusting decision, especially considering a team like Man City can flaunt the rules and get off scot free

I agree it appears some teams have different rules , although given the way this year is playing out, good chance to stay up regardless

City and Chelsea are both facing charges (City are facing 115 charges, vs the 1 that Everton has just been found guilty of). So I think the real test of the decision will come when those cases are resolved and what kind of penalty they'll get. If 1 charge is worth a 10 point deduction, 115 would be relegation at a minimum you'd think. Here's hoping the EPL have the guts to do that.

I don't think they have the guts

Why is this a disgusting decison exactly?
-
That position makes no sense.
Are Everton guilty? Yes. Do they deserve a punishment for being guilty? Yes.
I struggle to see how this could be considered disgusting.
Man City / Chelsea are totally irrelevant. If they've broken the rules and found guilty then they'll be punished. Being disgusted by this is akin to being disgusted by somebody getting jailed for a rape, when somebody else murder charge hasn't been heard yet.
-
My understanding was that Manchester City had already got off some of their FFP charges. If that is incorrect then I will reserve judgement over the consistency of their judiciary process
No, they are just using every trick in the book to not co-operate.
Tbh, with the UAE and now Saudi Arabia owning clubs in the league, the PL has virtually lost control of its own league.
The current expectation from other fans os they will not get punished

The decision is one where Everton will come out relatively unscathed.
They will not get relegated as their are 3 teams that are far worse than them this year.
If it happened last year they would be in the championship now.
This ruling does open them up to being sued by clubs that were relegated in those years. The ruling stated that despite repeated warnings about finances they continued to buy players in an attempt to strengthen their squad (failing miserably at that I might add
). This was outlined in the judgement.Leeds, Burnley and Leicester are 3 clubs that have written to Everton to tell them they will be taking legal action against them if they are found guilty. They now have been so this is the biggest issue Everton face now.

@DaGrubster and the implications for the sale of the club - price /whether it goes ahead...

Incredible games yesterday.
Liverpool's 4 goals are as good as you'll see anywhere on the planet. Huge credit to Fulham who gave a storming account of themselves. Chelsea ground out a 3-2 over Brighton in a match which included a 40th minute red card & then a penalty given at 98 mins, only to be overturned by VAR. Lastly, Spurs / City played out an absolute classic with the ref having a bit of a shocker at the end to not allow play to continue with a braking Grealish.
Storming day of Football.
