  • Are Everton right to complain to PGMO after latest penalty drama? | Byline 91

    Are Everton right to complain to PGMO after latest penalty drama? | Byline 91
    May 1 2026
    Matt and Paddy are back from a painful weekend in London - mentally and physically. As if a marathon wasn’t agonising enough, Matt has to relive Everton’s loss at West Ham. We look at why the Blues have suddenly lost defensive stability and what positions need to be strengthened in the summer. Also, is it the right time for Everton to complain to PGMO about the refereeing decisions after Saturday’s appalling handball miss? 🏃 SPONSOR MATT Matt completed the London Marathon to raise money for the Kevin Campbell Foundation: https://t.co/p698UvxHW1 🤝 NORD VPN DEAL EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal ➼ https://nordvpn.com/blueroom Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee ➕ BLUE ROOM EXTRA Get exclusive content and all of our podcasts ad-free when you sign up to Blue Room Extra: https://tinyurl.com/yc83x2zh 📩 EMAIL Get in touch with Matt and Paddy for questions, comments and enquires at evertonbyline@gmail.com 📸 LAURA GATES PHOTOGRAPHY Get a discount when using code ‘TBR25’ at checkout Learn more about your ad choices.

  • Blue Monday - How is VAR making everything worse?

    Blue Monday - How is VAR making everything worse?
    Apr 28 2026
    Another great weekend for VAR – Salah's dodgy penalty, Calvert-Lewin escaping red for a hair pull, and two incidents in Everton’s game at West Ham – Jordan Pickford should have been given a red card on review, and Everton should have had a penalty.We were sold a vision of minimal mistakes and no more post-match chats about how our team was robbed by a refereeing mistake. Yet we're still having those same conversations, and we can't put it down to the officials being unsighted.So, how is VAR making everything worse?The penalty decision had no bearing on Everton's defeat. That was squarely on the players and the manager. We look back at West Ham and dip in form at a bad time for the Toffees, before looking ahead to another Monday night match against title-chasing Man City.Blue Monday is brought to you in conjunction with Invisible Wind Factory. We’ll be back for the penultimate What’s the Score? at the Windy ahead of the City game, where you’ll be able to enjoy pre-match drinks and food from Pierogi and Pickles.

  • Why are Everton like this? | Byline 90

    Why are Everton like this? | Byline 90
    Apr 20 2026
    Numb to it all now, aren’t we? Aren’t we!?! The lads have the unenviable job of talking about Everton’s latest Merseyside derby masterpiece. Matt - after an antibiotics and alcohol mix - and Paddy - fresh from a big rewrite - had to steel themselves for this one. So why does it keep happening? Is it something deeper or just dreadful defending? And how can Moyes and the players pick themselves up for a European run? It’ll be therapeutic. Honestly. 🤝 NORD VPN DEAL Get our black Friday exclusive deal: Big savings + 4 months extra: https://nordvpn.com/blueroom ➕ BLUE ROOM EXTRA Get exclusive content and all of our podcasts ad-free when you sign up to Blue Room Extra: https://tinyurl.com/yc83x2zh 🏃 SPONSOR MATT Matt is running the London Marathon next month to raise money for the Kevin Campbell Foundation: https://t.co/p698UvxHW1 📩 EMAIL Get in touch with Matt and Paddy for questions, comments and enquires at evertonbyline@gmail.com 📸 LAURA GATES PHOTOGRAPHY Get a discount when using code ‘TBR25’ at checkout Learn more about your ad choices.
