🔗 Share this article The Everton manager Asserts PGMO Unwilling to Explain Debatable Calls David Moyes has claimed that the PGMO is hesitant to communicate with managers because so many refereeing decisions this season have been hard to justify. The Everton manager said he was left speechless when Fulham were awarded what proved to be a match-winning penalty against Nottingham Forest on Monday. Inconsistency in Spot-Kick Decisions Highlighted The Toffees were refused a penalty on Saturday for a comparable incident during their home defeat by Arsenal. The manager initially held his tongue on the decision at the time but, following Fulham’s penalty, believes the lack of consistency of referees can not be ignored. “It took my breath away last night when I saw the decision given and ours wasn’t,” Moyes commented. “It feels as though certain clubs get those decisions and other clubs don’t. We seem to be on the latter side of that.” Past Incidents and Mounting Discontent Moyes also referenced an earlier incident in the season at Brentford involving Virgil van Dijk which was very comparable. “I think eventually it was given. We are disappointed it wasn’t given on the night and we are looking at others which have been missed,” he added. Lack of Dialogue with Officiating Authorities Questioned on whether he intended to raise the issue with referee chiefs, Moyes expressed further frustration. “I don’t really know,” he said. “They are not accommodating whatever you want. They don’t want to have a conversation about it really. They will have, but they don’t want to because they’re likely discovering it is very difficult to explain things.” This stance from the officials highlights a wider issue of transparency and answerability in the game’s officiating, according to the experienced manager.
