Derby Memories

[banno]

My memories are from an age ago but several stick out to me for good and bad. 69-70 at anfield on our way to the title when if memory serves me right, Whittle and Royle gave us a comfortable 2-0 victory. Think it was the year after at anfield coasting at 2-0 up and we let them back in with Chris Lawler getting the winner to make it 3-2, Steve Heighway destroyed us that day.
Obviously, the Andy King derby and the scenes during and after the match (they were very bitter after that match and there were a few kick offs).
The Clive Thomas semi still wrankles
The Glen Keeley Derby that still hurts to this day
The Magnificent Sharpy derby when we realised we are the Pride of Merseyside. (Bitter Reds after that game to)
The 4-4 cup game when KK walked away and started the magnificent demise of Liverpool.

My first derby was the one where Cahill and Arteta scored and we won 2-0 and we sang going down to the r/s.

Its all been downhill from there and we haven't won since.

clearly put together by a kopite sympathiser but still a good read

Exactly mate.

Before Shankly, Everton were superior. Howard balanced things a bit in the 80s. In fact, for all it's sh*teness, our 90s derby record is actually pretty decent.

It can't be like this forever, and getting over the inferiority complex is just one of the steps to Everton being great again.

Agree. Martinez needs to do what Simeone has done at Atletico Madrid. Get the players believing in his ideas and in themselves.

Main memories are:

The continuous string of mystifying refereeing performances/crucial decisions costing us

Sycophantic managers that deferred to them and subconsciously saw us as inferior/beaten before the start (Gordon Lee/Moyes being stand out culprits)

Players that allowed them to walk all over us each and every time (Phil Neville, Leon Osman in recent times)

Their fans before and after the match (like some B grade movie invasion of our city by ****wit zombies attempting fake scouse accents)

The Kop with 5/6000 humans on it two seasons in a row.

My memories:

questionable referee decisions, red cards that have ruined the game before it's started, moyes thinking he's up against a european conquering liverpool, moyes playing a second string and letting gerrard get a hat-trick, moyes hoping not to lose, andy johnson, cahill slotting left right and centre and the best - carsley, seeing liverpool 0-1 everton (campbell) on ceefax

1970 championship winning side at Anfield goals from Whittle and Royle won 2-0 - I stood in the kop which held 23 000 in those days to see not just a win but a football spectacle - the Anfield Road end was a mass of blue and white with the chant Champions - Champions ringing out the whole game - and later we were the best footballing side I ever seen as a blue aged 14 years old. Even the kopites were in the end saying how good we were and that was v a good LFC team!

That bit pisses me off every season

Like a frigging love in with some of them

I am hoping McCarthy/Barry/Lukaku/Barkley add some much needed muscle to our side a week on Saturday, Its very much needed in a Derby

 

[FTY]

Got a feeling Barkley will be right up for this.

 

[mawders]

My first derby, superb

Mine too. Still the best game I have been too I think.

The Poll Derby sticks in my mind as well. I was watching it in the Flute on Hardman Street. I swear to god I must have been the only blue in there

 

[steken1]

Sitting at the back of the gladwys seen Shandys cross go in, seen a player jinking about in the box and swing his leg, couldn't see the ball.

Goading The Clown, then him losing the plot & us getting a Brucey Bonus.

Those are the four I'm hoping change the picture. No allowing Gerrard to dictate to the ref or ****ehawks like Charlie Adam manhandle our players e.g. Rodwell just as he was getting sent off after the ref was blatantly conned.

Not sure what Naismith was like in the Glasgow derby but if he relished it no harm giving him some minutes to boot some RS if required.
