Astounding goalpost protest at Goodison

Michael Kenrick , 31 January, 71comments | Jump to most recent

Minutes before half-time in the match against Manchester City, a ~~fan~~ kopite halted the game for 4 minutes.

The ~~fan~~ kopite appeared have handcuffed himself to Joe Hart's Park End ~~post~~ goal net, while play was up at the Gwladys Street End.

He was freed by an aggressive group of irate stewards and police, allowing the game to resume through to half-time!

Update: There was later confirmation (see below) that this was not an Everton fan but an idiotic Liverpool fan by the name of John Foley, who is conducting a protest about RyanAir's recruitment policy.
