Steve Evans Requests Football Association Simulation Action

Is Evans actually saying the ref never spotted the brown envelope slipped under his changing room door prior to kick off?
 
Pens are always a source of great debate. I thought it was a bit soft but the ref sees it better then us. Johnson is also quick off the mark and wouldnt take much to be put off balance but i do wonder if he could sometimes stay on his feet. As for evans i just think hes a sore loser and a lways will be. Hes basically a knob
 
Evans claims it wasn’t a penalty and was the fault of the officials; whereas he did not mention the perfectly good goal from Grant that the officials got wrong? 1-1 on the officials by my count?
 
The greatest diver of all time (IMO) played 27 times for England and was awarded a CBE for services to football and charity.
 
I wonder how long it will be before Gills fans want him out, if they don't already? He had posh in a much better position when at London rd yet was thouroughly hated for his constant excuses, and general appalling behaviour. I remember he got sent off at a home match when Posh were 3 0 up and the crowd in the stand near the dug outs cheered as they were so fed up of his language and unacceptable behaviour. Football would be a far better sport if that gobshite wasn't involved in any way, his record of yellows and sending's off show he has no respect for officialdom at all and no intention of changing his ways. He should never have been allowed to manage again after Boston, he's an embarrassment to the game. Does he really think anyone is gullible enough to forget what they watched last night and pretend Gillingham had some sort of chance of winning if the penalty hadn't been given? Just FCUK off Evans.
 
Steve Evans ,a paragon of virtue
Evans was suspended by Boston as manager on 4 July 2002 after a much-publicised Football Association (The FA) investigation into "contract irregularities". He later resigned as manager of the club in September 2002, after still being suspended by the club. He was found guilty by The FA in December 2002 of impeding an FA inquiry into contract irregularities. Evans was also suspended from the game for 20 months in January 2003 for involvement of the affairs of Boston, in which players' contracts lodged with the FA contained false salary details.
FA’s then-compliance officer, Graham Bean, had launched an investigation into the financial irregularites at Boston United, and, July of that year, the club was found guilty by an FA disciplinary committee of systematically lodging false contracts for players. The ploy was a simple one. Players signed contracts that were worth a fraction of the value of what they were being paid. In one case, Ken Charlery was recorded as being paid £120 per week when he was actually being paid £620 per week and had received a £16,000 signing on fee for the club, against which no tax had been paid. In another, the former Liverpool defender Mike Marsh was contracted as being paid £100 per week when he was actually earning £1,000 per week. The difference was paid through “expenses”, against which no tax was payable.

Evans was further accused of impeding the inquiry and fined £8,000. Evans lodged an appeal against charges in May 2003,but The FA rejected his appeal later that month and the punishment stood. Evans later pleaded guilty in court to conspiring to cheat the public revenue, and was given a 12-month prison sentence, suspended for two years.
Jim Sturman QC, for example, stated that, “If your honour sends Steve Evans to prison today he will lose his job again. It has already cost him £140,000 in legal fees, fines from the FA and loss of income. I ask for tempering justice with mercy. Is it worth sending Steve Evans to overcrowded prisons? He is terrified of spending one day in prison… There has been the stress and anxiety over four years. He has not slept. His family have not slept. He is terrified”.
Meanwhile, on the pitch, he was earning himself a reputation for the levels of abuse that he threw around when decisions didn’t go his way. In February 2006, for example, he was escorted from Grimsby Town’s Blundell Park by the police after verbally abusing the fourth official. After the match, Sotnick (by then the Boston chairman) claimed, with regard to the police’s involvement during the match, that, “There seems to be a conspiracy at work. At every game Steve seems to be singled out for extra attention from the police – and I’m determined to get the bottom of this”.

Evans was given a £1,000 fine, suspended for a year, after admitting to using insulting or abusive words to the match official in a match against Peterborough United in October 2005.
Evans was sent from the dugout after an altercation with Wycombe Wanderers player Tommy Doherty for which he later received a £1,000 suspended fine from the FA. Despite this, which came on top of his conviction for tax evasion,

i thought the slow motion replays of the challenges in and around the box, at corners, at free kicks, at both ends showed the scale of the task for the ref.
he could have given fouls either way on any number of occasions.
ironic really that one of the 'slightest' of all the challenges led to a penalty.

but the defender did stick his arm out, knocked johnson, and the defender was nowhere near the ball. why did the defender do that? surely a foul?
aren't players penalised for diving when there is deemed to be no contact whatsoever?
 
It amuses me when opposition fans go Tonto on a dubious penalty decision and even more so when a club who were awarded a dubious penalty generate three pages of discussion on said dubious penalty. Anyone who is paying attention to the higher league should resist any urge to change the system in the current leagues who are not yet blessed. VAR is a busted flush and should be confined to goal line technology and a new agreed principle on off side. Any other decision is subjective and usually becomes more negative and inconclusive the more the incident is slowed down on video replay, The fact a load of football pundits who have less of an IQ than a cabbage are allowed to undermine decisions further does not help.
The facts are, Steve Evans and his sidekick are shysters of the first degree and we beat them. Hopefully this will be repeated in the return fixture.
 
All I saw is a skilful footballer dancing round some cart horses one of which tripped and then pulled his shirt. Clear Pen.

all I see now is a corrupt fat bastard moaning.

I bit like a film with Clint or Chuck - they threw everything they had at us. We got up and gave them a footballing lesson

Sounds awfully Trump-like,being an obnoxious turd and living in a conspiratorial parallel universe, where the world is against him.

I'm glad Clive isn't a fan.
 
Ref the penalty. It looked really soft to me. But I always gauge these things on the reaction of the defender who committed the foul. He looked guilty as sin and didn't really protest much. Therefore penalty right decision.

Regarding a convicted crook, thief and cheat being allowed to still manage in the football league,this just sums up how pathetic the FA and EFL are.
