Has any one got a link to the incident?Just seen it, Henderson is not in control his foot is up and Watkins is traveling at speed and has every right to avoid contact.The contact is slight but that is irrelevant, there is no way is it a booking for Ollie and should be a foul based on the height of Henderson’s foot.The hand ball based on current interpretation is a penalty.Luiz on Pogba is a penalty.
I think the issue being had Watkins not been so reckless going after Maguire he would never had a caution to his name that was the issue . That bit of ill discipline on an England colleague. Ollie having had little of ball and wanted to show his worth made a stupid foul. Not hus usual move but I think Southgate being there he wanted to show agai. What he did like robbing holgate other week.On sending off incident For the record I thought penalty the minute he had the ball and went past. Certainly I don't think he should have been cautioned and maybe if Douglas haven't given one away Vila would have had one today Instead Watkins suffers as does our team denied a goal scoring chance.Probably should have been subbed anyway as his yellow would be an issue and gives him chance to recover and rest but unfair for him today as he pressed well and was fouled for a penJust think he should never have done that foul for his 1st yellow . Totally pointless.But the man's no disgrace. Very unlucky in many respects

Which is fucking big deal and a major victory for Everton given how he dominated their CB’s the last time out. It’s a massive blow for us.It can't be overturned and neither should it be. It was blatant simulation. He's let the club down badly today

It was blatant simulation. He's let the club down badly todayWith all due respect that is complete bollocksIt isn't. It was sheer simulation/cheating. You can't just "look the other way" because he's got a claret and blue shirt on. The fact that Watkins barely contested the decision should tell you the story. He knew what he'd done and got caught out.BC you are completely out of order today. Go take a nap. If Ollie plants his foot and Henderson goes through him at that height then we've got a Pickford/VVD situation on our hands and we're without our only performing striker for who knows how long.Fact is, there was contact and Cristiano Ronaldo himself set the precedent in this league that contact isn't necessary to impede a players forward progress. That was a knee high challenge by a goalkeeper who has no idea how to properly defend. Again, there was obviously contact and different strikers on different clubs get that call 10 out of 10 times. You're a disgrace for slagging off the hardest working player we've had in a decade.

Probably the worst decision of the season to book him for the "dive". He took it too easily though, so did the rest of the team.If it was them they'd have proper kicked off, it would've forced VAR to look at it.
