Liverpool Echo's association with Everton FC

Not called the 'Liverpool Echo' for nothing.

Complete cowards to a man, only interested in their club freebies

Any hope of decent journalism died when O'Keefe got the Everton editor gig. He waits for his copy to come directly from Everton's media team

If you ignore it, it doesn't really matter, same goes for any form of media.

I despise Dave Prentice

The most consistently negative response to anything Everton is this forum. It's a bit hypocritical to moan about outside comments that are positively glowing compared to the c**p on here!

Correct, but we can hit it where it hurts - in the circulation (including clicks). If all Blues boycott it, it would be holed below the waterline and the sooner the better...

We can ban it from this forum. No more links. Just like the S*n.

Hello Mr Prentice.

Making a negative post about a negative post being negative about something.

On your bike lad, you don't need to come on here when some of us genuinely want Everton to do well.

The prevailing ethos now is that, even before the Hillsborough disaster, nobody on the Kop ever read The Sun.

I guarantee that some of these current zealots, are the same people who would sneer and make comments as I read the Guardian in the alehouse before a derby game.

The Sun is a vile, lying, Tory, 'empty head' rag, that descended to unimaginable depths
in attempting to distort the truth, and then smear a whole city.

I hope Everton do ban this chip paper, but I wish some people would drop this 'holier than thou' attitude.

I write this as the Echo is making a front page splash today of taxi drivers outside Goodison, lobbying for the club to ban the rag.

"Liverpools owners did it to distract their fans, why can't Everton do likewise"

I despise that rag, have never bought it and would encourage anyone else not to buy it as well - but banning them from turning up at / reporting from the ground is dickish, especially nearly thirty years after the event and when the people who bear the responsibility for them also own Sky, and various other rags.

Off you go then bum cheese

They're not adverse to the almost daily story about BM Dock all the same - just for the clicks mind.

I was just about to say this! I don't buy it I can't stand it! Red rag of a paper

That's a lot of indignant squealing from specialists in negativism.
Touched a nerve did it?

Going from the Echo website (when you get past the endless pain-in-the-arse "surveys" and adverts) - It regularly runs "News stories" about "Celebrity footballers bike" Danielle Lloyd.

That's the mentality of the target market for their readership right there.

And as it is owned by the Mirror group, there are constant "Point-scoring" stories about "The Sun" and Hillsborough. Pretty distasteful way to try and attract customers, I'd say.

Ain't bought a physical copy of the Echo in years.

Their disdain for EFC is matched only by my indifference to their opinions.

FERK EM.
