How representative is GOT

[WA Toffee]

I think it is pretty much the same as every forum on the web. Overly represented by negative people who love to complain. People who are not strongly opinionated (probably the majority) tend not to post a lot because they don’t have extreme feelings one way or the other, and those of a positive nature tend to get fed up quite easily with negativity and drop out of conversations quickly. So most threads end up being long conversations between the whingers, the wums and the people who are trying to make funny comments.

Not really representative at all.

To be honest I'm a Warrington Wolves supporter (because I like watching a proper game) but have been an Evertonian since I went to my first game at Goodison 60 years ago. Sports team supporters like nothing more than to moan about just about anything but I think it's more to to do with you being British than anything else. Erin go bragh!

It's full of overeactive bells who love the sound of their own voice. Most fans you meet in real life are far less likely to be so repetitively boring.

Dunno about the rest of you but he's nailed me there.

God, I hope so.

I refuse to believe actual Evertonians are into wrestling.

Hit the nail on the head.

Due to that a lot of whingers end up thinking everyone agrees with them when in reality people just aren't going to waste time arguing with people who don't want to listen to anything other than their own voice.

Normally.....not very.

For example, Hibbo and Ossie were never reviled by the matchgoing fans like they were on here.

But in the case of Sam I am afraid Evertonia speaks with one voice, both online and at The Park.

Allardyce must go.

Sometimes when Everton touches you it puts you in the Figure Four

Keyboard warriors on toast.

For example the average Everton fan, local or not, was quite ok with the Kenwright & Moyes-era. Obviously pissed off at certain results and that, but overall nothing like the scathing criticisms we saw on these boards before Mosh came.

Same with certain players like Leon Osman, who most non-forum dwelling fans quite liked.

Absolute bollocks.

Ans: Not at all, obvs - see above

Don’t know.

I am just here for the cheese on toast and any young looking actresses!!

..GOT is representative of a diverse range of people. Myers Briggs is highly recommended.

 

[Lord Buckethead]

Not at all.
For instance, at the moment there's a small and noisy group of half-baked loons on here who are trying to get Sizeable Sam replaced for Comedy effect.
You have to wonder about their motivations.

If bothered enough to register here & express regular, coherent, sensible opinion it’s probable you have a semblance of passion for the Club & it’s likely Everton is in your heart.

That doesn’t mean it’s an accurate barometer of the feelings shared by the majority of the Everton fan base.

I know loads of Blues outside of the forums who would give Chippy Tits another season - the absolute cranks.

Some still think Mirallas was hard done by!

There are some valuable contributors here & some very funny ones too. Lots of repetition though owing to the large numbers of posters & long threads.
