“No shock there” – Furious Jordan Pickford hints at Liverpool referee bias after derby defeat

Posted by

Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford was not happy with the referee’s decision to not send Ibrahima Konate off during the Merseyside derby.

The Liverpool defender could have been shown a second yellow for a foul on Beto which stopped a potential counter attack.

However, the referee and the VAR both decided against it leaving Everton extremely frustrated with the decision.

And Jordan Pickford, after the game, came out and slammed the officiating stating that it was ‘no shock’ that decisions did not go Everton’s way.

He said:

“It’s a tough day. It’s always going to be tough to come to Anfield as an Everton player.”

“We gave it our all, worked hard and decisions definitely didn’t go our way, no shock there.”

“I think the work-rate we’ve put in was second to none after going down to ten men. After about half an hour, we dug in and they created chances – like they were always going to. We put up a good fight. As a team, we’re not far off. Coming here is always a tough place, but we had a right good go and were always in the game – even with ten men. Going down to ten and the lads putting a shift in, you’re going to get tired.”

Liverpool scored not long after the Konate incident. Everton conceded a penalty after Keane handled the ball inside the penalty box. Mo Salah scored from the spot to give Liverpool the lead.

And Salah scored another in the dying minutes of the game. The goal came from a counter-attack led by Darwin Nunez who did brilliant to draw the defenders towards him before passing to the Egyptian who did what he does best.

  1. You had a lifetime of favourable decisions when your assault on Van Dyke went unpunished so you can wind your neck in!

    1. Absolutely. A sending off, yep. Most would agree. However, as Liverpool are totally able to win when down to 10 men, try to accept that it wouldn’t have changed a thing.
      And frankly, someone who escaped a sending off after the brutal assault on VVD 2 seasons ago, should avoid such comments. YOU should have been arrested for the criminal assault you were guilty of.

      1. Is it equalisation or retaliation, let’s be serious. Referees can be wrong in their officiating to any team and could be Liverpool tomorrow.

        1. DOUBT IT, THEY’VE MADE THEIR RICKET WITH LiVAR poo FOR THIS SEASON! THEY CAN’T DO IT AGAIN KLIPPITY WOULD BE FUMING AGAI

      2. So should Jimmy Case when he crippled Geoff Nulty and ENDED his career, so that saying of “people in glass houses”, springs to mind.

      3. So should Jimmy case when he crippled Geoff Nulty and ENDED his career so that phrase “people in glass houses” springs to mind so wind you neck in

    2. Absolutely. That was the worst “assault” I’ve ever seen, and to go completely unpunished was disgusting. I think that, and losing Virgil for months list us the title, so when Liverpool fans talk about injustice, it’s not ithout good reason.

    3. You were handed twochampions leagues and a premier league title thanks to referees bias and Var so wind ya neck in

    4. I completely agree. As for referee bias towards, if that’s a general comment he must be joking after the recent VAR decisions against us!

  2. Jordan pigford have you forgotten your cardinals sin on Van dyke?so you should keep suffering from those gallant lfc fans.may they long keep those antics against and towards you.you deserve every word you get.now keep sulking you sulk.

  3. Lets call it KARMA because after the tackle YOU committed on Virgil Van Dyk and never even got booked Van Dyk spent 18 mths trying to recover to be honest you were lucky not to be charged with assault because it happened on a football pitch

    1. Prickford is the biggest Clown premier league seen in their history he can’t even kick the ball straight.. just send him to sleep with the ball like he normally do on the pitch.. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

  4. Jordan I have to agree with that Everton did really well but you could not take advantage of a couple of goal scoring opportunities.
    Also on the Konate side of things I think the officials looked at the situation in the same as myself, that is I believe Konate did try turn out the way. Yes some referees may have give a yellow with would seen sent off but honestly do not think that warranted that. Also you Louis Dias should have had a penalty earlier also.

  5. Wow unbelievable complaining about konate at least there was no injury, unlike pickford did on virgil and he got no yellow or red card and left virgil out for a long time .Criticising when he’s done alot worse ,if anything it’s liverpool who usually get everything against them not everton . I suggest pickford thinks before opening his mouth for what he’s done everton certainly not hard done by .

  6. when gobshite klopp was asked about a reply he said are you serious what does that tell you referee was paid by the red shite again cant win legally

  7. Beaten by a bent ref and inevitable dodgy penalty, only way they could beat JP. What a quiet place Anfield is these days. Full of corporate guests and rich foreigners.

    1. As apposed to all you booing lot, 1st misplaced pass and you lot are wanting the players dead, get a grip

  8. If he was that good of a goalkeeper he’d have saved the penalty. He only get’s picked for England because of the great defence in front of him

  9. No assault by Pickford
    The ref never even give a foul, and he WALKED around the pitch to the players tunnel.

    Get over it, no foul and certainly no assault

    1. Danny spot on mate some of the tackles vvd puts in but there ok thought he was this big tough defender 😂 😂

  10. Typical Liverpudlian reply. They know they got away with an obvious biased decision. So straight away they bring up a perceived bad tackle on VVD. From a few years ago What a sad indictment on liverpool’s supporters.

  11. We’ve done a cracking job on the blue noses, we’re in all their heads, good style YNWA, but they do 😂😂😂

  12. Why is Pickford seen to be having a go at Liverpool and their fans? He rightly said the ref was a homer, but I’d pay more attention to him praising his own tean for the performance they gave.

  13. This thug who crippled VVD should have arrested but wasn’t even booked. Then moans about bias!
    When he keeps his ridiculous comments to the Everton dressing room, we’ll stop reminding him of what HE GOT AWAY WITH.
    AND for the record, even if Ibu had been sent off, the Reds would STILL have won.

  14. When are you jokers going to give up on the pickford dick van dyke incident next thing or are you studying for history degrees.

  15. -12 points just let that sink in for a few minutes
    -12 points
    I think that little arms has played in his last ever Merseyside derby to be held at the mighty stadium of Anfield
    now has it sunk in ?

  16. Dog Laird – so should Jimmy case for crippling Geoff nulty and ENDING his career, that phrase “people in glass houses” springs to mind so wind ye neck in
