Michael Ball reacts as Everton boss Frank Lampard charged by FA
Michael Ball shares a strong reaction on Twitter after Everton boss Frank Lampard has been charged by the FA on Wednesday.
Lampard has been charged for his post-match comments after the Toffees lost 2-0 against Liverpool in the Premier League last month.
Lampard said that Referee Stuart Attwell did not penalise a challenge on Anthony Gordon, but the penalty would have been given had it been a Liverpool player.
Ball has delivered a bold message on Twitter. He wrote: “Truth hurts.”
Joke
The FA found that his comments “constitute improper conduct as they imply bias and/or attack the integrity of the match referee”.
The Toffees boss has until Monday to respond to the charge. It’s a joke.
Apart from a section of Liverpool fans, almost everyone seemed to agree that Gordon should have been awarded a penalty after a clear foul from Joel Matip.
It was a huge decision in the context of the game, and it went to the home side.
Lampard was absolutely furious and rightly so. Why should he be charged for calling spade a spade? The hypocrisy runs through the entire system.
Punishing the players and the manager seems to have become the common norm in this league, where there is a complete lack of consistency among the referees.
Despite having the technology to assist the referees, there is a complete lack of accountability.
Everton are 18th in the league, two points from safety, but they have played a game less than their rivals.
In other Everton news, one Sky Sports pundit has dismissed any Chelsea firework-related excuse claims while hailing “excellent” Toffees players.
