Yep agree, sometimes something is said or reported out of context, then gets exaggerated and then is repeated with vehemence and all of a sudden people consider it as the truth and fact.

Then when a false fact is used against an individual with added emotion, it can go over the top.

We don’t know the full facts of that last day of the window. If the team have tried and fallen short, then let’s dust ourselves down and fix the problem setting up deals for January. There appears to be money and SCR headroom.

Let’s all get behind the players, club, owners, manager, CEO and recruitment team as we need them to succeed.

Raymond (13) I started watching Everton a long time ago but went to reserve games before I went to see the” Big Team” and hardly missing a game at Goodison Park, easy for me, I never ever lived more than a short bus ride or a 10/15 minutes walk to the ground.

Then in 1955 (?) the FA youth cup started and I began watching that, one of the first games I saw in that competition was a 2-2 v Man. Unt with Derek Temple scoring our two goals and the brilliant Duncan Edwards got one or maybe the two United goals. United trounced us 5-2 in the replay with both those players scoring again.I carried on watching those youth team games watching many future stars in these games.
I’ve seen a lot of these games live at Goodison as well as the U21’s and 23’s matches until the last few years when Everton told us season ticket holders we could see the games on their TV I saw some but couldn’t get a lot of them on my iPad.

I have still seen some of the games live at Goodison including Braiden Grahams first matches there but age has taken it’s toll and I never went as many as I wanted to.

But it was always great to see the youngsters make their mark in their mark in these games, players from Everton and Sammy McIllroy, Jimmy Greenhaulgh, Phil Thompson and others from the opposition.

Some of the best and funniest times was watching Everton Reserves and listening to the auld fans giving the opposition stick with a few goalkeepers moving out to the penalty spot to escape the comments thrown at them with one player named Potts from PNE taking corners was getting abuse from one fan yelling at him at every one until he lost it and yelled back close to tears
“Will you effing get off my effing back” there was a round of applause for this – don’t know if it was for the player or the fan.

Sorry for going on Raymond I think that will be the last question you ever ask me!

Think you are right there was five. One of the other two was a London investment fund, with a young guy in his late twenties or early thirties with moppy hair Memory fails me a bit.

I wonder whether the other one was the two successful Everton business men. Think they helped out with a loan at some stage? Not sure.

I agree with your take on the esks report.
I usually find his articles informative and un biased.
Thought this one was basically him being a fan and airing his issues he has with the ownership.
Which is fine, but many fans take what he says as fact, some are facts, some are just his opinions, that’s where it’s murky.

Separating the facts from the opions is the key a few don’t seem to be capable of.
