Match Thread Everton v Dynamo Kyiv Friday 29 July 7.45pm KO.

[Jimmy James]

Sorry, but totally disagree

No apology necessary mate. We'll have to agree to disagree (and, I'm happy to clarify you weren't one of those I was thinking about when I made my Tory comment). I understand the current rules and recent guidance, and yeah it'd be very different next week if it happened again in the league. But tonight - pfft.

 

[Haydn]

Just not the same as heads on pikes round the castle, those were the days

I believe the modern equivalent is a private audience, kecks down. With Prince William’s girlfriend.

 

[Jimmy James]

What would your thoughts on the matter be when we get a huge fine/games played behind closed doors or a points deduction?

The authorities are dying to slap one on us and with every new regulation it is usually us and just us that are punished as the example.

I'm as one-eyed as anyone in terms of percieving a bias against us, you can't be a Blue without noticing the rough end of the stick we get. I'll concede it doesn't set a great example (and ok, I get the context of Palace etc), but it's a only a friendy. Worse will happen to other Clubs without getting more than a slap on the wrist. I'll be the first to hold me hands up if I'm wrong.

 

[Kirkles]

Mcneil and Dele have to start vs Chelsea, not sure where Dele fits into this system though.

 

[Jimmy James]

I think the club will be ok for the kids. but only tonight, not for a proper game

And I can't stress enough how bad the PA is with announcements and subs and everything.. for H & S it's vital we do something even if it's only to make announcements on screen

Exactly

Is Stratton a poster on here? If you are, I’d like to buy you a pint or two before the Nottingham Forest match. Traveling from the US.

Stratton a better blue than most

MOTM Stratton facts

We all remember back in the 70s/80s when kids used to run on at the end of matches in flared jeans and jumpers, but they were just patting the players on the back before being ushered off by kindly coppers.
This show tonight saw them demanding players' shirts in a most unseemly fashion. I suppose it's a sign of the times but it will see us in trouble as a club if it isn't stopped. The players and, crucially, the manager god bless him need to be told to turn the other cheek, I'm afraid.

 

[Blue Roo]

Good stuff. We're up and running.
Window's been underwhelming so McNeil goals were a nice surprise.

Wondering if Frank is thinking a 3313 with Deli da 1?

Tough to play him when we’re 3 at the back and don’t have a real 6

 

[Melchizedek]

“Heartless Everton show no remorse in Ukrainian solidarity game!”

It'll be worse than that.

"Everton level a helpless Kyiv" or "Kyiv surrender to relentless Everton bombardment"

Gotta be massively over the top and misleading to drive those clicks

 

[Paul Rideout]

It'll be worse than that.

"Everton level a helpless Kyiv" or "Kyiv surrender to relentless Everton bombardment"

Gotta be massively over the top and misleading to drive those clicks

“Russian collusionists must be stopped”

It’s inevitable

Not really.

 

[marmor]

I didn’t watch the game but from the posts I have read the treble is on?

Good job we’re not in Europe this year. Imagine the media hysteria #quadisours

 

[PhilRegan]

Never went , never watched are we back on for 4th ?
