Tim Cahill inspired Everton to victory in their UEFA Cup Group A opener against Greek side Larissa - as manager David Moyes launched a bitter attack on neighbours Liverpool.

 

Goals from Cahill, Leon Osman and substitute Victor Anichebe ensured an ultimately comfortable win but Moyes' thoughts before the game centred on last weekend's controversial Merseyside derby.

 

The Scot had already publicly expressed his disgust at referee Mark Clattenburg after he sent off two Everton players and denied them a late penalty in Liverpool's 2-1 win at Goodison Park last Saturday.

 

And Moyes turned fire on Liverpool themselves, branding their failure to join him in condemning Clattenburg as a "cop-out".

 

Moyes wrote: "I think it would be remiss of me not to talk about Saturday's derby against Liverpool.

 

"I have never known such widespread condemnation of a referee for his decisions in one game.

 

"But some of the comments which came from the opposition I regarded as a total cop-out."

 

And in a clear dig at Reds boss Rafael Benitez, Moyes added: "Here at Everton I always try and give a fair assessment, whether the decisions have gone for or against us.

 

"That is the way I will always do it."

 

This guy clearly has some issues that need to be dealt with.

Yeah, head herpes.

[John am Rhein]

F*ck off Moyes!!!!!!!

[_00_deathscar]

I'm not even sure what he's blabbering on about.

 

What is he blabbering on about...?

[cliff p]

even when rafa does give a fair assesment like last season when he called everton " a small club", the ginger t*** wasnt happy.

To be fair Rafa stole the "small club" quote off Moyes himself when Moyes was moaning that small clubs don't get decisions from referees!!!

 

He also obviously doesn't remember the Chelsea "penalty" at Anfield a couple of months ago.

 

Don't think Chelsea backed us up on that!!!!

 

I actually don't think the ref did that badly.

 

Our penalties were both nailed on and sending offs!

 

Kuyt was lucky to only get yellow but he was just jumping to block and he made no contact - as someone posted on here a few days ago Henry got yellow a few years ago for exactly the same thing.

 

Also, having seen the penalty claim at the end of the game, the first "foul" was actually by Lescott on Carra so the ref was right!!

"I have never known such widespread condemnation of a referee for his decisions in one game.

 

what a bell - what he thinks should have been a red card, but the FA has decided not to look further into & the alleged penalty at the end. Which would have been saved by Reina anyway.

 

 

I've seen more widespread condemnation of refs this season alone.

 

Moyes = ginger, bitter bellend

[Tones]

Small time prick who deserves a small club.

[picks]

Obsessed.

[Frosty Jack]

I love it, they win in Europe (for the first time? ) and he still turns it into an attack on liverpool. It's amazing

It was in the programme, I think.

[Herbie von Smalls]

he doesn't even deserve a thread, never mind in the LFC forum

[San Diego Red]

We won though...

[Guest chabby]

He's under pressure. 5 losses from 10 games and bottom half of the table after spending a lot of money.

[Chas]

Apparently we have shorter odds to win the UEFA cup than Everton

 

And we're not even in the competition!

 

Gotta be worth a laugh

The line from Everton and the media is appalling.

Just imagine that Kuyt had missed the second penalty. That would have meant that Neville would have cheated in a premeditated manner and denied us a certain goal in the hope that we missed a peno. That would have left the media and a****** Moyes in a difficult position. Do you condemn a current English international for the most heinous cheating possible - a clear denial of a goal - which kind of leaves dives by dirty foreigners in the shade? Would we be having a debate over whether a ref sould give a goal anyway in that instance?? Andy Gray's line about 'anyone would do that' is completely false. The following day, Craig Gardner could have done it for Villa but chose to try and hack the ball away in the proper, conventional manner.

Strikes me that Moyes is incredibly stupid (yes I know) or that he believes attack is the best form of defence......

Since it's Neville, yes you do.

 

However, it's no more cheating than any other infringement is. Correctly punished with a penalty and a red card.

Well it clearly is, hence why it is a red and penalty, rather than just a booking.

There is no worse punishment available for the referee to dish out then those two.

b******s - it's Neville; he should've been beheaded.

I must have missed his condemnation of refs when decisions incorrectly go their way

 

I'm also at a loss as to why he thinks we would comment. Apart from the 180 minutes we play them during the season, he and his little club are largely an irrelevance to us. If he spent less time looking at us and more at himself and his team, he might have more to show for the millions he's spent

[Guest Linton]

Can Everton please stop being so f***in interested in everything we do. Pathetic.

They should have had a penalty at the end but I fail to see what was controversial about the sending off of Hibbert - the last defender fouling a man through on goal; or Neville - deliberate handball to deny a goal. You won't see two more clear - and deserved - sendings-off all season
