At times you have to feel for referees.

Despite improvements in goal-line technology and extra officials on hand to help them out, judging whether or not a player is trying to deceive them to win a decision can be very difficult. You can almost understand their frustration. With that in mind, have a look at this vine. Referee Andre Marriner was in charge of Everton's goal-filled meeting with Sunderland at Goodison Park. With the home side's Gerard Deulofeu clearly unhappy with Marriner's failure to award him a penalty, the camera switches to the referee. The lens is barely trained on him for a couple of seconds, but some appear to think that Marriner can be seen mouthing the phrase "f**king cheat". We're not sure... what do you think? It seems quite a few people noticed it, too. https://twitter.com/Mr_CallumWright/status/660831476502630401 https://twitter.com/ricky9er/status/660831872226865152 https://twitter.com/SHEZZATHE3RD/status/660834945133359105
