Opinion
Talking Points
Ugly, Cowardly, Shameful, Sad, Pathetic.
The title of my post could define the worst performance I've seen in 28 matchgoing years, and also Moyes's attitude and tactics.
I'll leave the horror show on the pitch and where we go from here to Tony Marsh as that guy has been talking sense for years and he will put it into words better than me. I look forward to your views on today, Tony.
The thing that is playing on my mind, and to which that title really refers, happened after the 3rd goal. I was in the Main Stand away from my usual seat in the Bullens Road stand. Whoever piped up to Emerson Boyce as he took a throw and screamed "Get a move on, nigger!" — words fail me.
I've never felt ashamed to be a blue and the display alone would've been enough for that, but to those in the Main Stand by the Gwladys Street end who were a lot closer to this shithouse rat than me – please contact the club with seat number.
Nobody seemed to bat an eyelid and I heard it from several rows back loud and clear. Police and stewards did nothing from what I could see...
People's Club, really? What a fucking disgusting day, I should've stayed in bed.

That someone would use that word in this day and age with others sitting around him limp and lame beggars belief. I dearly hope that the thick full-of-bile bigot is tracked down and banned for life from The Old Lady and anywhere else we might one day play.

It really has been frustrating listening to fans backing him as Moyes himself props up the Kenwright regime. I really hope after today that it sinks in to our supporters what a lucky no-hoper Moyes really is.
Today was the most embarrassing Everton performance I have ever seen... ever! Today's result has been coming since late December yet many chose to ignore the terrible football we started playing and the direction the club was going — all because the carrot of Wembley was being dangled.
It's a shame so many Blues are content to put up with this shitehouse way of playing, no matter how bad as it gets, because they have been brainwashed into thinking change will destroy us; it's a joke.
We are the worst footballing side in the League — and the one below as well. I watch teams like Watford play in a fashion that makes what Moyes coaches cringworthy.
Moyes has to leave surely. I don't think he will though; BK won't sack him and I can't see any club bigger than ours come a calling. It's a shocking thought to think we could have another 5 years of this moronic outdated over-rated manager putting £75k a week in his back pocket.
One thing's for sure: I won't be there as I am done with Everton if the chairman and the fans don't wake up to this nonsense. It's not the money I pay that hurts, it's the way I feel when I watch us play... It hurts so much, it really does. I don't think I can allow myself to be a victim of this massive con-trick called EFC any longer. Why should I?

The positive thing to do would be to say 'It was one of those day's'
But that's missing the point completely.
Plaudits really have to go to Wigan, but we really were 'Ugly, Cowardly, Shameful, Sad, Pathetic.... and more'
As a genuine fan, I feel ashamed to be an Evertonian after the way the players and the manager represented the club.
Disgrace.

Football grounds reflect society as a whole, we live in a society in which we are defined by the colour of our skin: Black, White, Asian... until that ends there will always be people like this individual.
224 Posted 09/03/2013 at 23:54:20
If you felt that strongly, why didn't you do something about it at the time?
The title of this post could apply to you and your actions or lack of them.

Quiet word needed. Nothing more.
Putting it into context, it's just words. Being a scouser down south, I've been abused loads. It ain't no different. I'm man enough to laugh it off but, if it offends you, have a word and if it persists then do something.
241 Posted 10/03/2013 at 00:19:58
More chance finding the culprit at the time. Report to steward/police about said comment and the area (must know roughly where the shout came within a 5 - 10 seat square). Steward/Police ask around and someone would shop him. Simple.

245 Posted 10/03/2013 at 00:30:41
I'm sure Tony will be back on tomorrow to reply to your "assertions".
Paul. It really isn't the same as getting the piss taken because you're a scouser. Really, it's not.

So you know for a fact that the stewards wouldn't deem it serious enough to ask a few fans in the severals rows back? It wouldn't take 5 minutes to find someone who knew where he was sitting.
I'm glad you have gained personal satisfaction from this being brought to your attention. However, do you want to give me one worthwhile reason for posting this on the internet?
253 Posted 10/03/2013 at 00:46:42
Might get them to fuck then.
264 Posted 10/03/2013 at 01:02:34
Particularly in Lincoln - I've got a couple of broken knuckles and a few broken noses for my trouble, just as a you've had some stick for having a Scouse accent which I'm sure you have, like the Welsh, Scottish, Irish, French and anyone else can be.
Calling someone 'Nigger' is a different level mate.
265 Posted 10/03/2013 at 01:53:28
If it helps, it comforts me to know as a non-English, non-white Everton supporter that the Everton community cares enough to respond to this despicable act even after the fact.
266 Posted 10/03/2013 at 02:24:46
4th place in the Prem is way beyond our reach now, and would be so even if we did not have the upcoming fixtures that we do, so bad is the team moral and motivation, BOTH of which are the responsibility of the Manager. So let's look to the future find a new hungry tactically aware motivational manager and lets let Dour Jock Davey go and take all his Jocks like Naismith and 'old guards' like Neville, Round, Osman and even Pienaar with him and of course that stroppy constantly fouling sulk Fellaini.
Oh and please this is an EVERTON forum not an "I am a more Politically Correct and anti-racist moonbat than YOU" forum. Give it a rest boys - yes Racism is nasty but no one died... get a life.

I was looking the other way, towards the dugout, wondering what the point of Steve Round is... so, as I said earlier, I couldn't say which row. Was I meant to start questioning half the stand when we were all on the verge of nervous breakdowns watching the display? What are the stewards and police there for?
I had brought a lad with learning difficulties with me. His first game of all games, and he is not very good with crowds at all, so my priority was him, I'm afraid. I was trying to explain to him why this loon had said what he had said... not fucking easy to do – he talked about it all the way home.
I don't regret posting; best to say it today while we are all fucking depressed anyway. Anyway, Brian, let's leave it there, eh? I'm hoping someone close to him clocked his seat on the sly and saved the stewards and police from doing what they are paid for.

As far as bringing the name of the club into disrepute, it would be anyway if it happened anywhere and was reported by the player themselves or any other supporter who witnessed it, burying your head in the sand isn't going to stop it.
409 Posted 10/03/2013 at 12:43:59
If that doesn't bother you that much Tim, don't post. Why do you have to be a left wing "moonbat" (What?), to think that shouting this kind of shite at the match is out of order?
If getting a new life means spouting the shite you've just come out with, I'll stick to the one i've got.

Just sit back and let other people do your fighting for you to make the world a better place and then just take all the benefits.
I am fully aware that this an EVERTON Forum - - I am an Evertonian and do not want to hear racism at my Club and in my Ground - if you do then that's fine but don't ever tell me how to think and what is acceptable and what is not. Clear.
415 Posted 10/03/2013 at 12:59:48
Everton is more than eleven men on a pitch....

Do you really want to give him the Fellani/Baines/Miralles/Jagielka money?
The chances are they'll all be looking for the exits now!!
