Shoot me down at your Peril
Comments (36)
This rant is about an on-going 'problem' at Goodison Park. It is something that really gets up my tits and I'm sure many others — why oh why when Phil Neville has the ball anywhere within 40 yards of the opposing team's goal do people in unison decide to shout 'Shooooooooot!'???
It really winds me up... what do you think he is gonna do? Shoot and bury one in the top corner from the half-way line? We are Everton Football Club for god's sake! Leave that for dickheads who follow Newcastle Utd etc to make idiots of themselves.
Jesus, we'll be chanting 'Easy Easy' next... Soccer AM you have a lot to answer for.

A wonderful tool.
Surely to know what Soccer am behaviour is, you would have actually had to watch Soccer am, thus making you a zoccer am type yourself?
Secondly Easy Easy was chanted at the 1966 Cup Final and was regularly heard at Goodison up until 10 years ago.
So please stop talking shite. I’m sick of fans trying to tell other fans how to act.
Where would my shirts be without it?
Like the wag who couldn't understand that his constant ’jokes’ about Arabs at the City game were offensive especially to the two middle eastern looking gents in Everton scarves sat two rows behind??
I think we have bigger issues than shooooooooooooooot!!!!
In these days of 11-man defences, sometimes the long shot may be the only option but it seems it is becoming a dying art except for a few players. Goalkeepers don’t really expect long range shots and that is exactly the reason teams should have at least a couple of defensive players coming forward to have a pop at goal.
Everton have nobody in the whole team capable of scoring from outside the box except from free kicks. I saw Osman run at the Arsenal defence last week and the shot was on but he had no confidence and passed it 10 yards sideways instead, which is what most players are doing these days.
Why anybody should be upset about it though is beyond me. As Ragnar said, Pip will know when it’s worth a pop...and when it isn’t. Don’t see the problem.
I am more concerned about what Eugene says. Must admit I’ve not heard anything racist from my seat in the Upper Bullens and I hope I don’t.
If it's a problem with a chant, why not pick on "Murderers" when Liverpool turn up? It makes me ashamed to be in the ground when that one is wheeled out.
You should be sat in the Balcony watching the muppets.....Grumpy old man. Maybe the library would suit you better?
Well, for what its worth I don’t give a rats fart at what people want to shout about at matches, and unless it is offensive, then I don’t see why anybody else should either.
I’m pretty sure it stems from then. Lighten up mate - we’re actually good at the moment!!!
You can’t even have a laugh when you go the match now, everybody knows it’s a wind up... and as for the "kopites are gobshites" — that's just a FACT.
More than all of these, I love the banter with the other teams fans especially away from home. "Who are ya?", "Time to go" etc are all a good laugh, especially when it’s you singing them.
If we didn't do any of the shouts mentioned as annoying, moronic, idiotic etc we’d be the shittiest most boring fans in the country. Fucking cheer up!
Jesus Christ!!
I was always a Goal! - The World’s Greatest Soccer Weekly reader...
The cardboard league tables were great until your brother lost half of League Division Four down the back of the settee...
Long may it continue because it warms my heart as well, so go on Pip.....shoooooooot ! ! !
Try decaf....
Calm down, calm down!
One of these days Pip will say fuck it, and he’ll release a bullet that takes the back off the net.
The way Everton’s fortunes are changing for the good at the moment, anything can happen!
I also remember everyone shouting SHOOOOT to Sami Hyypia a few years back after his OG in the Clattenberg derby.
What really grinds my gears, is that OPERATION Goodison nonsense. The tannoid is too loud anyway and that bird repeating OPERATION GOODISON sounds fucking wank.
Now that IS something that should be stopped!!
Fucking wank - spot on Charlie!
