Two things to note. Everton FC don’t tolerate it and act quickly against fans when it is reported, as do Merseyside Police. I’ve been to enough games across the country and seen stewards turn a blind eye to such abuse. I’m pleased Everton don’t.

The whole world is outraged and whatever little reputation the US still had is gone.

He was woeful!

Very unprofessional from Norwich. Unwilling to shoot, cross or make meaningful forward passes. Well done to your fans though.

He’s given them so many soft free kicks.

They’ve had the best two chances this half.

Just watch how it’s constant sideways and backwards. Best two chances this half have been for #SWFC. One the keeper got to then their missed clear header just now. #ncfc wingers terrified to cross.

I’ve never been so bored. Managing players doesn’t mean you pass backwards constantly or take 4 touches before playing the obvious pass. McLean looks like he’s terrifed not to shoot.

We’re still dreadful tonight. Such a sloppy lazy performance.

Not even that good.

This is a truly dreadful performance against a team who control league one quality. #ncfc

Multiple chances for Ali Ahmed to cross - every time he checks then refuses to cross. Why? -#ncfc

Such a lazy start to the second half. Midfield chugging along, watching play and not engaging. So lazy and slow. #ncfc

Really? In my experience “half-hearted” means more injuries.

Let’s not get too excited here. #swfc are dreadful and #ncfc have been “marginally” better. Norwich seem to terrified to make forward passes. No body is desperate to track back and the intensity of play is SO low.

Norwich midfield are so pre-occupied with passing backwards they’re not making simple and obvious forward passes to unmarked players. #ncfc

Wow! A truly uninspiring dirge played during the light show. What a way to take the atmosphere down a notch. #ncfc

How can #efc have xG of 0.28 ??? How is this team so toothless?

This is crazy. A stupid thing to do

I really don’t want to watch Everton play tonight. I’m in a good mood and I know #efc will put me in a bad mood.

First line is incorrect grammar. It is “Manchester United “are” not “is”. Manchester United is a group, a team, referred to correctly as a plural therefore “They are” not “It is”. When referring the the club as an organisation, it “is”, but reference to the team should pluralised as in “they are”.

No. The false flag was about 43 mins in to the game.

There was also that one in the second half where their player knocked the ball past our centre half, ran full pelt straight into him on purpose and was giving a free cake. All because he’s a referee on a mission to make headlines so that the game is all about him not about the football.

We saw that. It was as if he had suddenly discovered he’d got a flag in his hand and he was flagging 25 minutes late for their goal. Absolute joke linesman.

The referee made headlines a few weeks ago by ignoring a premier league VAR overrule. He now thinks he’s a superstar, and he wanted the game to be all about him not about the football. Clearly, he is trying to make a name for himself. Terrible, terrible ref.

2-1 to the referee today. Appalling linesman too. An absolute joke. #ncfc
