Ifab are set to discuss the issue of grappling during corners on the back of Everton’s penalty appeal against Manchester City.
Scrutiny over the PGMO and the officials has never been higher, with David Moyes left visibly frustrated over recent weeks.
Everton have seen numerous decisions fail to go in their favour, which has resulted in Moyes calling out the PGMO for their ‘rubbish’ decisions.
No win in any of Everton’s last five games… what would you say to David Moyes? 🫣
Ahead of their next meeting, there is an understanding that the grappling which affected Everton recently will be discussed by Ifab.
Ifab expected to discuss refereeing controversy after Everton fury
Merlin Rohl was dragged to the ground by Bernardo Silva just last week when Everton hosted Man City at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.
No penalty was awarded as the officials claimed the corner had not been taken in time, but this is something that will be discussed.
Two games to go… where do you see Everton actually finishing in the table? 😫
Europe now feels incredibly unlikely… 👋
In a report from The Guardian, it is said the International Football Association Board will discuss grappling in corners following the World Cup.
It has been an issue that has heavily affected the Premier League this season, with Everton feeling incredibly hard done to against Pep Guardiola’s side.
Everton would be eighth in the table without VAR, which would have the Blues in a considerably better spot in the hopes of Europe.
Frustrations surrounding the officials are nothing new on Merseyside, with the opening game of the season away to Leeds United providing a controversial decision.
There is some positive news to emerge as the report has suggested the Premier League will reject the widening of VAR.
Ifab has approved the ability for VAR to award corners and second yellow cards at next month’s World Cup.
Thankfully, that will not be introduced in the Premier League.
