Qudus Salihu_EVERTON SEND WARNING TO ROY KEANE AND JAMIE CARRAGHER OVER PENALTY VERDICT_
Everton Football Club has issued a stern warning to pundits Roy Keane and Jamie Carragher over their comments regarding the penalty verdict in the Toffees’ 1-1 draw with West Ham United.
Keane and Carragher, who were both analyzing the match on Sky Sports, were critical of the VAR decision to overturn the penalty awarded to Everton, with Keane labeling it a “blatant penalty” and Carragher agreeing that it was a “stonewall penalty”.
However, Everton has taken umbrage with the pair’s comments, suggesting that they were biased and unprofessional.
“Roy Keane and Jamie Carragher’s comments regarding the penalty verdict were unacceptable and unprofessional,” an Everton spokesperson said. “As pundits, they have a responsibility to provide balanced and impartial analysis, but their comments fell short of that standard.”
The spokesperson continued: “We understand that opinions will differ, but Keane and Carragher’s comments were not only incorrect but also inflammatory. We will not tolerate this kind of bias and misinformation, and we expect a higher standard from pundits of their caliber.”
The warning from Everton is a clear indication that the club will not hesitate to speak out against what they perceive as biased or unfair commentary.
As the debate surrounding VAR continues to rage on, Everton’s warning to Keane and Carragher serves as a reminder that pundits have a responsibility to provide accurate and impartial analysis, and that clubs will not hesitate to call them out when they fail to meet that standard.
