David Moyes has claimed Professional Game Match Officials (PGMO) is reluctant to engage with managers because so many refereeing \u00addecisions this season have been difficult to explain. The Everton manager said he \u201chalf choked\u201d when Fulham were awarded what proved to be a match-winning penalty<\/a> against Nottingham Forest on Monday for Douglas Luiz\u2019s touch on Fulham\u2019s Kevin.<\/p>\n

Everton were denied a penalty on Saturday for a similar offence by William Saliba on Thierno Barry during their home defeat by Arsenal<\/a>. Moyes did not criticise the decision at the time but in light of Fulham\u2019s penalty feels the inconsistency of referees can not be ignored.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was half choking last night when I saw the decision given and ours wasn\u2019t,\u201d said the Everton<\/a> manager. \u201cIt feels as though certain clubs get those decisions and other clubs don\u2019t. We seem to be on the latter side of that.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere was one earlier in the season at Brentford with [Virgil] van Dijk which was quite similar and I think eventually it was given. We are disappointed it wasn\u2019t given on the night and we are looking at others which have been.\u201d<\/p>\n

Asked whether he intended to present his case to referee chiefs, Moyes said: \u201cI don\u2019t really know. They don\u2019t make it easy whatever you want. They don\u2019t want to have a conversation about it really. They will have [one], but they don\u2019t want to because they\u2019re finding it probably very difficult to explain things.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"David Moyes has claimed Professional Game Match Officials (PGMO) is reluctant to engage with managers because so many…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":367242,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[563],"tags":[64,63,596,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-367241","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-football","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-football","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/367241","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=367241"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/367241\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/367242"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=367241"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=367241"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=367241"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
