As others have said it's little consolation...

In fact do we want Everton's on form striker to miss bottom of the table clashes against West Ham and Southampton?

So the ref is, at best, incompetent and at worst, favouring of Everton?
He should also be punished.

Now take the rest of the match into account.

No.... Just shows it is well time the officials were supported with a video evidence/ ref as in Cricket, rugby, tennis etc. About time football moved into 21 century!

The whole match WILL be taken into account.

There is a robust system for measuring the performance of the referee after each PL game. Each PL game is forensically evaluated where intense scrutinization of every decision is made using the match footage and 'ProZone' to measure the referee's technical performance. There is an assessment of the accuracy and consistency of decision making and his management of the game.

Those nice old-fashioned computer terminals with Unix text editors used to have a thing called a "kill ring". You could highlight some text and save it to a buffer, and then paste it into a document wherever and whenever you needed it again. Like Cut and Paste in Windows but you could keep lots of text snippets at once and use whichever one was needed on a given occasion, such as "Dear Sir", "Yours Faithfully", "Thank you for your letter of yesterday's date", or even "We regret to inform you that your application has been unsuccessful".

Or, if you're Willo, the horses*** he has pasted here for the ten gazillionth time.
