Red fan here, fantastic to see our blue brothers giving the Yorkshire police a bit of grief last night, when I heard what was being said it brought tears to my eyes. Just try not to get arrested eh? From all of us across the park thank you, non of us will ever walk alone. Jud.

I actually felt ashamed to be blue.

The fact that your beef is with the South Yorkshire Police and Leeds is under the West Yorkshire Police just goes to show how mindless these people really are.

Ive got my ticket for Southampton Saturday but really dont feel like going now!

Blue Bones

Blue bones, Norman Bettison is in charge of the WYP, that's why we chanted what we did.

The reason it was aimed at the west yorkshire police is because one of the leading officers who covered up hillsborough(cant remember the persons name) is now chief constable of west yorkshire

If that's your attitude Jud then I hope and pray that lfc don't get drawn against any of the yorkshire clubs in any other cup competitions this season.
A lot of people have gone to hell and back to get this new report released, get all the publicity it deserves and get a lot of public support for new inquests etc.
The last thing those poor people need now is mindless persons using the hillsborough disaster as a vehicle for mindless violence and disorder that then ruins all that hard work giving the police and politicians ammunition to fire back in any future court case.
Personally I'm ashamed of the actions of those Everton supporters, their actions were bad enough but if your lot jump on the bandwagon as well it really will be a backward step for everyone who is/was truly involved in what happened 23 years ago in sheffield.

(disappointed and) Moody Blue

Moody blue, sorry maybe I wasn't clear, it's the fact that people were lending vocal support I was applauding and NOT any violence that may have taken place. I don't condone any kind of violence associated with football. Sorry if I gave anyone the wrong impression. Jud.

Jud? Are you Billy Casper's brother?

Who the f**k is Billy Casper??

It's from the book and film 'Kes' mate. A modern classic.

Terrific news -Everton legend and the sweetest left peg in football back in the day-really made up for him and long may he enjoy good health as he really deserves it -plus his wealth of knowledge can only enhance the next generation of young Blues.

Great news about sheedy .. better than any goal you scored .. ****in love yer sheeds

Will somebody please explain what happened between the Everton fans and the Yorkshire police last night? I don't go many away's so i've seen video's and stuff but that's about it, can somebody that was actually there shine a light on what happened please?

Lots of chanting. Justice for the 96, changing statements and being murderers

Some flares let off too

Fluffy01016

From my point of view I think some of supporters were out of order chanting murderers to the police on duty in the ground - didn't see what happened outside but clearly frustrations were being vented because of the rubbishe we played on the pitch. rubbish night all round really. Even no food left at half time the catering was garbage!

Yeah, you could here all the chanting on the TV and stuff, I do understand us chanting what we did at the police as Bettison is the police constable all, but that's besides the point, police can't turn on fans no matter what abuse they get really

A little story that happened to me today,to cheer you all up after last nights miss hap,......I was at the asda buying a bag of bakers choice for my dog,while at the check-out line a woman behind me asked if I had a dog....why else would I be buying dog food RIGHT??,...so on impulse I told her no,I didn't have a dog,I was starting the bakers diet again,and that I probably shouldn't because last time I ended up in hospital,but that I'd lost 50 pounds by the time I'd woken up,with tubes coming out of most of my holes and ivs in both arms,I told her that it was essentially a perfect diet,and all you had to do is load your pockets with bakers nuggets and simply eat one or two when hungry,and am going to try it again,...horrified she asked if I ended up in hospital because the dog food poisoned me,I told her no I stepped of a Kerb to smell a poodles arse and a car hit me,........tristen {Ed013's Note - Excellent, your welcome to add to the jokes page}

But I don't go on the Liverpool page ed,.....tristen

Heard this one before, but it was 'I was licking my balls in the middle of the road and I got hit by a car'

I've just seen the mobile phone footage on the Echo site of so called Everton fans at Leeds last night.
What a bunch of absolute bell**ds! I thought we'd left all that behind us 20 odd years ago and cannot see what was hoped to be achieved by the eejits who caused the trouble.
Everton have a good reputation as away fans which has now been tarnished by these persons who are supposed to be representing our great club.
If that's how you're going to behave at away games then do us a favour and stay at home instead.

Moody Blue {Ed013's Note - Well said mate}

In reply to your post,have you not been antagonised by the police and reacted,having been there and witnessed there brutality am amazed no one was seriously hurt,the everton fans responded to heavy handed tactics and one or two went to far but that's normal in a large crowd,am still proud of the way the majority behaved........Neville bartos

26 Sep 2012 15:20:37
Hey Bartos I was there with my ten year old son and you are talkin out of your backside lad, if you were one of those then hang your head in shame lad, disgrace to all Everton fans, all you small group wanted was a fight, get back to the eighties where you belong, kids were crying because they were scared and it was you lot that started it and not the police.

The chanting for the 96 was an embarassment to all fans especially the poor people who died and their families

Absolute embarassment to football and our great club

Jimbo

Think you miss read my post jimbo,the majority behaved themselves,a small few got carried away,as is normal in a strong away following with vast amounts of alcohol consumed and various substances smoked and sniffed as witnessed by myself some ppl let themselves down and the club,but if you think it was like the bad old times of the eighties your guilty of exaggerating ..........Neville bartos

26 Sep 2012 18:55:34
Bartos what a stupid statement "thats normal in a large crowd"

So you can kick someones head in because you are with a load of your mates and pi##ed, guessin you where one of the persons then, oh yes and I was there and Jimbo was right it was embarrassing and kids where scared

Jonny R

Large crowd:alchohol:a few persons=trouble,..no one got there head kicked,as I said before the majority behaved themselves,mountain and mole hill come to mind,....neville bartos

Not a rumour but just wanted to say really pleased that kevin Sheedy has been given the all clear after his bowel cancer surgery. Great player and great servant to the club. Hope he returns to continue his career with you guys.

Get in there Kevin!

Blue bones

Great news. Very glad to hear that he's been given the all clear

That last night was a terrible performance, didn't match them in effort or skill and they deserved to win, but it confirmed what most of us thought, that we might have a good team but we have no squad, junior is way off 1st team football, and mucha, god help us if howard is injured, all we can hope is we stay injury free, and not get to many suspensions till jan, when hopefully moyes will get some money and get a couple of midfielders in,and give us some strength in depth, weve done ok so far this season I hope last night doesn't bring it to a stop it was a bad night and moyes has to take the blame for playing players who are not good enough.
Ste c

I agree it was a poor performance but the thing that stood out for the change in formation it looked like we were playing a 442 not 4411, moving felli back to cm seemed to make a big difference in the way we played. I also thought we missed the graft that ossie/neville/gibson put in, and for me putting junior as felli's partner did not realy work. On the flanks we did look weak but then the guys have not really had much game time together so that was not unexpected. I dont think its the end of the world and I do feel we could cope with a couple of injuries and still play well enough to get reasonable results but would like to see some additions in jan at cm and rb. Still looking forward to smashing the saints COYB

After last night we have learnt that if we get injuries in certain places we will be goosed, yes we played bad but at least now we can concentrate on the league until the f.a cup in jan and i would rather us finish top 6 and get into europe than win the capital one what ever it is, well done to leeds you played really well last night, well done to all the everton fans on here for not blaming the ref for us getting beat { like a team across the park allways does lol} and realising it was the team, well boys and girls lets have a really good go at finishing high in the league.

25 Sep 2012 23:32:55
Pretty poor tonight. Annoyed with the attitude of some players in the first half. Looked like a couple of them weren't interested!
Kind of showed how important the likes of Pienaar, Baines and Osman are. Without them 3 there is no creativity or flow to our attacking game.
Oh well, 3 points now on Saturday, keep our league form going!!
Saw a few people having a go at players! I hate that lads, win, lose or draw were Everton and support the lads.
I was annoyed at certain players in the 1st half, mainly there attitude but I would never mention there names. Just support the team, starting Saturday!!

West Brom v Everton - 2-0 - No Johnny
Everton v Newcastle - 2-2 - No Johnny
Swansea v Everton - 3-0 - Johnny Plays
Leeds v Everton - 2-1 - Johnny Plays but Moyes makes 6 changes including putting the equivalent of an open net in goal.

Sorry but im a big fan of Johnny, he was the only player last night who started playing Leeds at their own 'Physical' game.

Naismith. Hes got pace but I dont see Premiership quality.

Oviedo gave a good effort but put in some wild crosses and therfore wasted opportunities.

Where was Gueye actually playing?

Junior far to small and inexperienced for a physical side like Leeds

Mirralas looked good but we couldnt get it to him enough.

Vic had a few good chances but just fell down at the slightest challenge. Big lad like him should be looking for the back of the net not for a penalty.

Fellaini perked up second half. Obviously prefers playing up field.

Oh well, lets put it behind us and move on to Saturday.

Blue Bones

Bad day at the office!
Certain senior players need to re-focus on the basics, for instance you cannot defend against an on coming forward square on or switch off by leaving opposing players unmarked on the edge of the box.
Also, I felt for Junior who received some awful passes from his team mates.
Fancy Smith

Hmmm... seem to be missing the 2 games played prior to West Brom that Johnny didn't play, but we won both games

26 Sep 2012 11:38:26
But that doesnt reflect the most recent form does it!
