Dippers asking for trouble yesterday

[crazyg]

We were in the seats in the second tier at that match, above the standing City fans, and you could see that it was going to kick off afterwards.

We made our exit/escape by going along the rows to the Gwladys street end of the ground and went out there. Their fans obviously thought we were mickeys like them, and we made our way safely to the car.

If you want to know about the hatred between the clubs just ask any city fan who was at goodison in the 1981 fa cup semi final,

it was the quarter final I think mate, Paul Power late equaliser, fucking well scarey after the match, the second worst ever for me, only Newcastle away in the fa cup (around 76/77?) was worse

hehe ...

did you do the gauntlet run back to Leeds station in the mid seventies after Willie Donachies last gasp equaliser had 'upset' all the morons in the already exciteable home support ???

yes b m, their was always a routine every leeds away trip on the train, their would be the usual ambush on the way to the elland road, then the ritual scuffle outside follwed by everyman for himself doing the seb coe all the way back the station after the game, it was already scripted exactly the same at notts forest?

To be fair there was a risk at nearly every away match in the 70's and 80's. trains getting bricked at Stoke, coaches at Leeds and Dipperland, and IMO the likes of Bristol, Barnsley, Wrexham etc were just as bad as the bigger names, if you were unlucky enough to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. The Junior Blues coaches ( that i went on aged 14 or 15 ) were safe though, Helen and Potter were our minders. ;)

My top 'nasties' have always been:

Millwall
Leeds
Scum
Everton
Spurs
Boro

Everyone else, whilst having their moments, have generally been ok. Even Chelsea, Wolves and Stoke have always been ok for me.

Yes it was .....

and it might not prove too pleasant a place should we dump them out on their black country arses in the forthcoming cup match!

God I remeber Leeds after Donachie scored that equaliser - we played in the Dark Blue kit with the stripe across the chest if memory serves.My first taste of hooliganisim - the coppers didnt give a toss and were letting them attack us.
My Dad became a hero to me after that day - he gripped a couple after they tried to get my scarf - he just lost it when they came towards me - know why now that I have kids of my own.He looked a sight in his white rain coat, shirt,tie and polished black shoes I can tell you!

We played Neverton at home when Pearce was manager. We were walking out 0f 219 when some fucking scally scouse ran out of their car park and twatted some random blue who had just stepped out of the exit right in the face...sparked him right out, then ran off into the crowd . Ive worked with loads of scousers and the blue ones were definitely the most spiteful.

They boastily sing, 'And if you know you're history'....

Everton FC have become a self-portrait of many in todays society in general, a feeling of entitlement, a delusion that because you are force-fed shit sandwiches on a daily basis, you are somehow owed a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow.

Overly aggressive fans, fueled by nothing more than jealousy and self-righteous indignation. They have no appreciation of anybody else and what they may have endured to accumulate things of worth.

Everton FC are a stagnant club with no clear desire to be pro-active at betterment.

Instead, they would prefer to remind onlookers, more sadly, themselves, that they remain a club of relevance, flashing their now moth-eaten silk knickers at the poshest bar in town, telling all and sundry, they used to be a 'real looker, you know!'

A club with a proud history, with players such as Dean, Ball, et al, they are now facing death by a thousands cuts, most of them, self-inflicted.

Don't hate them, pity them. There is no rainbow, no lucky dip moment.

Just shit sandwiches and a set of fans who now have four games a season to look forward to, rather than two.
