Have Everton ever reduced you to tears?

[TGW89]

As a complete and utter wuss, there are a few I remember

Leicester 2004, when Bent scored in inj time (age 15)
Liverpool 2005, L 2-1 (age 16)
Bucharest 2005, L 5-1 (age 16)
Liverpool 2008, L 2-0 (age 19) - In my defense, I was completely, coma-inducingly bladdered out of my skull!
Bolton 2011, L 2-0 (age 21) - I was convinced we were going down at that point
Norwich both games this season (age 23)

However, I didn't shed a single tear for

Any other derby beating under Moyes
Arsenal 1998, L 4-0 (age 9) - the game which many thought relegated us
Chelsea 2009 F, L 2-1
Liverpool 2012 SF, L 2-1

It just takes something very particular and neurotic to set me off!

"Grow Up" comments at the ready....

Only once. During the minutes silence for Brian Labone. My grandad had just died and it was a bit much for me.

I shed a few tears yesterday. Don't know why as I wasn't really that bothered about Moyes leaving b4 the game. I think was the whole occasion just got to me in the end. I was very proud man after seeing the atmosphere we created at goodison. No other club in the world could that happen.

 

[Furey1878]

Seeing Tim Cahill yesterday was quite emotional, but I managed to compose myself.

 

[BlueToffee25]

Only when Duncan retired and scored his final goal at the Gwladys street

 

[wandyr79]

95 there were a couple happy tears and the opposite in 09.

I would say yesterday it was more a case of the eyes glazing over a bit, no tears.

 

[Jimmy Flangemoth]

First time I ever felt sad over a football game was England going out on pens against W. Germany at Italia '90. I was only a kid, but the scenes on TV hit me right in the stomach. Regarding Everton, I've never shed a tear, but I was incredibly anxious during the Everton/Wimbledon '93 game, and then went through the whole bull$hit again in '98 against Coventry. Horrible.

united in the cup semi final after jags penalty. I wanted that so much

 

[ToffeeTyler]

Many times...Pride and Sorrow.

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

I fought back a few Yesterday to be fair but managed to hang on

Great moment to have been a part of. Proper classy send off from the fans

 

[Tubey]

Many times. Came close a few times this season too - Jelavic's last minute winner against Spurs had me on the cusp of it.

Freely cried at Moyes' first game in the Gwladys Street, massive win, immediately felt like we'd turned a corner.

 

[stuart barlows right nad]

Never cried at a match but had a lump in my throat a few times when I ended up sitting next to Harry Cross as a kid. He hated me and I dreaded going to the match sometimes.

Also when I was a kid at Christmas time and I got fingerless Everton gloves off Santa. It caused a lot of confusion, anger and tears every time my fingers were freezin at the match.

Why fingerless?

What was the point?

 

[RFUS]

When Duncan re-signed I was simultaneously crying and bouncing around the room. I was like, 7, to be fair though.

 

[Moriarty]

yeah once when i was 13 at wembley against united in the Semi Final, but everyone was emotional that day.

 

[Tilling]

The guy on 16 secs next to the kid telling Neville to f off

Would you believe me if I told you that was me? I'm not telling him to **** off like, I was joking with the guy to the left of me that it's Neville coming out first, was not expecting it at all.
