When you remember that apparently not letting in people without tickets is "elitist", it's all par for the course.
Mad how the club can rightfully track down one man who pinched £12 worth of scran - over a number of months - ban and bring him to justice, but the Goodison Headlock Strangler still walks amongst us and illudes them.

maybe if the phantom headlocker had baguettes for arms they'd have found him by now.

Have you been and tried the food? Can you confirm it is overpriced based on experience?The man who stole the food?
I really dont get the animosity towards that feller. He's a club member and he stole rip-off over-priced food and is now getting treated like someone's who's committed a war crime.
The financial penalty should've been enough and the club should have told him that he's on two strikes and the next time he's banned.
Instead they chose to go OTT for the catering company they've outsourced this to and humiliated him in the local media and grassed him up to the coppers. It's a bit of ahouse trick IMO.
Because something is too expensive for you, does that mean you should be able to just take it?
Behave, it was embarrassing.....The man who stole the food?

You don't like the prices don't order it's simple....
Theft is theft and it embarrassed the club and the fanbase....

But it's alright for him to humiliate the person serving him? ok.

I think his bigger crime was to post the video of him doing it online. He should be banned from supporting us on grounds of stupidity.

Think the club were pretty proportionate tbh
They didn't embarrass him further by releasing his name (no idea whether they could do that or not), but made it clear that thieves aren't welcome - lifetime ban from the stadium seems appropriate. Other would-be thieves would do well to take note given the demand for tickets.

Dave, don't want to get into an argument about this but I'd be interested in your opinion as to what you feel would have been an appropriate and proportionate punishment here if you disagree with the outcome.

That guy who stole the food got his just desserts, pardon the pun. It looked awful on camera because it was awful and he gloated in his actions. It was just so entirely disrespectful of his server and mean-spirited on every level, and just plain stupid.
I did not expect the punishment to be that harsh, in truth, but he can reflect on that at his leisure now.
On the wider issue, I don't agree with anyone having to surrender any small food item on their person upon entry to the stadium and doubt it's the case to date? I don't think these items are going to have much bearing on revenue at the end of the day. Some people will decide to avail of the catering facilities, others will not. These are just small items like sweets or bars for example, not someone going in with a small picnics worth of sandwiches under their coat. It's surely just about context.

Spot on mate. Feels like the stereotype of ‘robbing scousers’ has cooled in recent years.
Idiots like this only bring down the name of the club and the city as a whole. The age of him simply makes it all the more embarrassing.

In Saudi Arabia they would have (surgically removed) chopped off his left hand as a warning to the other hand not to steal again. Trump would likely have him deported to El Salvador and then have him mysteriously go missing. Putin would wait a year and then poison him with a brolly, Ireland would print his picture on the front page with "Feckin' Eejit" as the headline.
Everton just banned him from the stadium.
He is probably stupid enough to buy a ticket next season and go in disguise as Dame Edna, AND film himself doing it!
Maybe don't steal stuff mate. Isn't hard when the majority of people don't do it. Then he has the cheek to film it thinking he's hilarious. It was utterly pathetic.

Meanwhile, they have now deterred everyone, rather than deal with a thousand others who wouldnt mind being told "you're on two strikes buddy!!!" after they get away with a Davek special.
