Craig Pawson really shouldn’t be refereeing Everton’s next game or any Everton game, ever again ❌
⚪️ Craig Pawson has a vendetta against Everton FC, even neutral football people like Neil Warnock @warnockofficial have publicly admitted “It's known in the game—Craig Pawson has an agenda against Everton, he’s got something with Everton him!”
🔵 Every time Craig Pawson takes charge of an Everton game he makes a ridiculous decision against Everton that the @FA_PGMOL have to apologise for or he gets demoted to fourth official the following week:
1) On VAR ludicrously advised to send DCL off against Crystal Palace when the referee didn’t even give a foul (this was later overturned after a @FA_PGMOL apology) - Jan 2024 ‼️
2) Refused to give Konate blatant 2nd yellow v Liverpool after sending off Ashley Young for 2 yellows in the first half - Oct 2023 ⚠️
3) Sent Allan off against against Newcastle, even Shearer admitted “That is never a red card” - March 2022 ❌
4) Refused to give a penalty when Dan Burn wiped out DCL from behind as he was about to score. Audio revealed Pawson didn’t listen to VAR and spoke over them convincing VAR that DCL somehow kicked Burn, he didn’t and Pawson was demoted to fourth official for 2 weeks - Oct 2024 🔉
5) Pawson didn’t give 2 clear penalties after Alcaraz and Beto were brought down in the box at Notts Forest. Even Mark Clattenburg called these claims a "big error" post-match, saying they should have been given - April 2025 🥅

Take a guess which team Craig Pawson has gave a record of 5 red card to.. yep, it’s Everton. 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴
In comparison, Pawson has never gave a red card to any Liverpool or Man United players, ever. 🤯
——
Everton have won just 5 in 27 with Pawson in charge, a win rate of just 18.5%, Everton’s lowest of any referee. 📉
——
Michael Ball @bally03 (Liverpool Echo, 2024) “Time and time again, Pawson has made seven or eight huge decisions that have gone against Everton... Why does he keep getting our games?" 🗞️
——
Pawson was demoted to UEFA's second-tier list in June 2024 after a "controversial season" e.g Everton incidents and Chelsea goal ⬇️
——
As well as Craig Pawson being a terrible referee, there’s just too many controversial decisions made by him against Everton and the numbers - as well testimonies of neutral football football people - support the view that something isn’t right and Pawson needs to be taken off all Everton games in future @FA_PGMOL
Everton Football Club welcomed members of the local Muslim community, supporters and civic leaders to Hill Dickinson Stadium this week for the Club’s first-ever Iftar event, held during the holy month of Ramadan 🔵
Interesting that in the Everton points deduction verdict the Premier League said “A financial penalty for a club that enjoys the support of a wealthy owner is not a sufficient penalty” and that “the requirements of deterrence, vindication of compliant clubs, and the protection of the integrity of the sport demand a sporting sanction in the form of a points deduction’.
Presumably the Chelsea fine (which ultimately is just a deduction from what billion dollar Clearlake will pay to billionaire Abramovich from the £150m held back at the deal date) is then neither punishment, a deterrent or protecting the integrity of the sport?
If I was an Everton or Forest fan would not be happy with this outcome.
@premierleague we said it all along corrupt as fuck, make the rules up as they go along. How the hell is masters still in a job, a slap of the wrist for Chelsea, City still now dealt with, yet that gobshite done his best with all his cronies to finish Everton off the other year
12 Points deducted.
For building a new stadium.
ZERO on-field advantage.
We stood alone.
Other fans laughed & mocked us.
We dug deep.
We survived.
Fuck Masters.
Fuck the EPL.
And fuck every other football fan who gloated.
No points deduction for Chelsea?
Of course there isn't.
The way you treated Everton Football Club as well!
Shameful!
What a truly rancid organisation you are @premierleague
