“What the fuck was he doing denying loyal Evertonians tickets in order to look after his mates who have nothing to do with the club?” This happens all the time Darren. I know of fervent Kopites who regularly get to enjoy hospitality at Everton home games because one is related to an ex-player. They don’t even watch the game, just sup beer throughout. Life ain’t fair, but people getting belted has to have a high bar to be justified. If you can’t drink without becoming a thug then perhaps you shouldn’t drink at the game? If Barry’s mates did actively mock those around them then we are getting closer to understanding punches being thrown, but the violence isn’t justified just by them being there and enjoying themselves.

Barry appears to be saying his friends were insulted. The only video I have seen shows a black lad throwing a punch at an \"assumed\" Everton fan and then \"assumed\" Evertonians behind him getting stuck into him from behind although none of the people were seen as wearing colours. I don't condone any violence but this seems to have involved a handful of people and does not need Barry going to the media to stir things up further. I am sure the police will have footage and deal with the offenders appropriately but Barry has shown a lot of naivety coming out and criticising Everton fans and highlighting what could cause the club some difficulties.

Same old, same old. Just seems the current big five can do what they want but everyone else is held to different rules. Ours was purely on accounting for payments towards the new stadium. No evidence we have benefited from a player perspective but yet two separate point deductions. Total joke

Eric 116 You should post more often. You'd certainly liven this place up

It will Mike. Here\'s hoping they throw a few quid our way.
