    Confirmed Signing Idrissa Gueye

    I won’t like it but just like any other player when they put on the shirt and go out on the pitch I’ll support him as part of the team. I’d defend his right to choose too, just your choice says something to me. Anyway whatever happens let’s just hope it’s good for the team on the pitch, we can...

    Confirmed Signing Idrissa Gueye

    But WHY I chose not to is the point. Like I said I’d have to be strongly against something to flat out refuse. I don’t want to be the villain here derailing the thread and fighting with fellow blues so I’ll keep my thought to myself now.

    Confirmed Signing Idrissa Gueye

    My apologies for derailing the thread with my disgusting views. On a purely football basis I can see why this could be a good signing just take issues personally elsewhere. Anyway I’ll go back to just browsing and not make your skin crawl anymore. ✌️

    Hey look I'm not trying to persecute the fella just saying id rather not have him and why I think what he did was homophobic. Other Muslims have taken part in rainbow campaigns. I don't care what your political or religious beliefs are, if either of them stop you from joining the club in...

    And I see the rainbow numbers as more the club making a statement than the individual players. Refusing to wear it however does imo make a statement.

    I would never put a tory banner in my window because I hate the tories. I'd have to have strong feelings against something to outright refuse to put it in my window for 2 hours. Thanks I think you helped me make my point.

    Confirmed Signing Idrissa Gueye

    Oh I don't care if he supports the "cause" that is being inclusive and showing acceptance to a group of the community that has often not found that in football. I'd just sooner not have him at the club if those are his beliefs. I appreciate some don't see it as that big a deal and that's fair...

    Confirmed Signing Idrissa Gueye

    But don’t you see that him very publicly refuse to wear a shirt to stand against homophobia could hurt people. What does that do to a 13 year old massive fan of his who’s struggling with his sexuality? It’s a tiny gesture that is nothing for players to do that can do a lot of good. Refusing to...

    Confirmed Signing Idrissa Gueye

    He refused to play because there was a rainbow on his shirt. Twice. The rainbow was there as part of an anti homophobia campaign. If you don’t support a message against homophobia then what else can one conclude. He wasn’t asked to do anything different or special, make a speech attend a gay...

    Confirmed Signing Idrissa Gueye

    If your work was honouring veterans and had a special uniform staff were to wear with a poppy or some other symbol honouring veterans on it and you refused to work that day because of it people would probably question you too.

    Confirmed Signing Idrissa Gueye

    Sure everyone has rights, but when you use those rights to refuse to wear a rainbow as part of an anti homophobia campaign then we have the right to call you a homophobe. This wasn't associated with a specific group that some don't like it was just a stance against homophobia. He refused to play...

    Confirmed Signing Idrissa Gueye

    Nope. No one needs to be respected for their beliefs if their beliefs mean marginalizing and refusing to show support for a group of people. We’re a community club and lgbt are part of that community. If you use your religious beliefs against other people l won’t just blindly support your...

    To be fair if we do win City will have had an off day.

    2019/20 Tom Davies

    He's shown that he isn't good enough or improving, but the fact that some of you even partially base your opinion on him playing football for Everton on how he dresses is dead weird. "I think he focuses too much on fashion" is such a dumb statement. I like the guy just don't think he's good...

    With “fans outside Merseyside” being a common insult to the reds, why are the scouser Everton fans thoughts on international Everton fans?

    Born in North Wales grew up on the Isle of Man. Used to be a season ticket holder traveling 4 1/2 hours each way to go to Goodison (in the mid 90s when we were really crap). Now I’m in Canada and will get up early every weekend to watch us. I have friends here who through me are also die hard...

    Yesterdays Linesman Judgement

    Hi don't normally post here one of those "lurkers" but i have to add my 2 cents. First of all doing the video replay like they do in hockey (im also in Canada) wont work, video replays take way to long in hockey as it is but I do feel there is a simple solution. There is already a 4th official...

    Richard Keys & Andy Gray in 'sexist rant' at female linesman and Karen Brady

    tubey whether you can admit it or not it IS sexist. First of all no one is stopping you selling makeup, but women would be better at selling it based on the fact that they use it. As for female sex toys I imagine a man would have a tough time selling those. There is NO reason why a man is...

    Our most important game of the last 20 years ???

    Easily the Coventry game. It was my last game as a season ticket holder before moving to Canada and I remember it so well. I remember the fake reports of Chelsea scoring sending the crowd crazy. I remember seeing people in the boxes banging on the glass when Chelsea did score. And then when...

    Sporting 3-0 Everton

    Game not on ANY station in Canada which sucks. You can however watch the game replay on UEFA . COM the games come on around 6pm ET (though a couple of times much later) and its only $1.99 (USD). Its how I have watched every game so far. It just means avoiding the score till they post it which is...
