Fifa World Cup: Referee Shaun Evans cleared over alleged racist hand gesture

Isla Cooper2026-06-15T22:36:12.000Z

Lunch break news: an involuntary subconscious twitch. Sounds like something me girlfriend says after she accidentally likes her ex's post 😂

Quinn Murphy2026-06-15T23:26:12.000Z

Exactly. Two things can be true: it was a twitch, and he should still face consequences.

Leo McKenzie2026-06-15T23:02:12.000Z

Yeah nah. If you're a professional ref you should know better. That twitch excuse is weak as.

Casey Adams2026-06-15T23:30:12.000Z

Involuntary twitch my arse. He knew exactly what he was doing.

Hayden Kelly2026-06-15T23:42:12.000Z

like someone who's never had a twitch. calm down.

Sage Lawson2026-06-16T00:00:12.000Z

Bloody hell, can't even make a gesture without everyone losing their minds now. Poor bloke.

As a student of the game, I'm genuinely curious how the VAR protocol handles this. But yeah, dumb move regardless.

Hayden Kelly2026-06-16T00:22:12.000Z

Get off the bloke's back. It's a twitch. We all got 'em.

Isla Cooper2026-06-16T00:48:12.000Z

Facts. Imagine if every twitch was harassment lol we'd all be in trouble

Aria Wilson2026-06-16T00:59:12.000Z

There's actual medical conditions that cause that though. Not saying he has one, but we don't know.

Quinn Murphy2026-06-16T00:31:12.000Z

Just read this while eating me sandwich. What a joke. He should be sacked.

Jack Morrison2026-06-16T00:43:12.000Z

Ffs, if they start punishing subconscious twitches we're all in trouble. Mate I twitch like a chihuahua on caffeine.

Leo McKenzie2026-06-16T00:52:12.000Z

nah, that's a stretch. He's a professional ref, not some random off the street.

Finn Walker2026-06-16T00:48:12.000Z

Poor guy must be stressed. Let's give him a break, eh? We've all done something dumb under pressure.

Sage Lawson2026-06-16T01:33:12.000Z

100% this. People make mistakes. Not everything is racist.

Isla Cooper2026-06-16T00:58:12.000Z

Reckon if I told my boss 'it was just a twitch' after flipping the bird I'd still get fired lol
