Really weird Everton match

[originalgreaserbob]

I'll start, though I'm not sure this qualifies -- but I think it's best to encourage a loose interpretation of "weird" or this thread will go nowhere.

I enjoyed seeing all our biggest players squeezed into that tiny dugout at the Carlisle game last year. Why is that thing so small?

Everton 1-0 Blackburn. Early 2006.

One of the weirdest i've been to.

Played the entire game with 10 men and an 18 year old in goal. Cahill had 2 disallowed for dodgy offsides, Beattie had another disallowed for a phantom push and then Stubbs had one chalked off for no reason too. Still reckon the ref lost a rather large bet on that game.

And I remember James McFadden hitting the bar 6 yards out from a completely open goal, but there isn't anything weird about that.

Felt for Iain Turner in that one, ships 4 on his debut at Chelsea (as a last min replacement cos of Wright's dopeyness) then gets sent off just 10 mins into his league debut. Could have been a great keeper for us but them two moments done his confidence

This was my wife's first game in the flesh. I'm still scratching my head over that day!

People were smaller when they built it 1909. Or it might be that residents of Carlisle are just naturally short in stature, so much in fact that whenever Peter Crouch comes to town they crank up the biplanes to shoot him out of the sky.

...Everton 4 Liverpool 4, told afterwards by a good source that it was a fixed result and when you watch the Everton goals back it does support a view that maybe one or two Reds players were 'at it'. I really don't know if it is linked, but Dalglish resigned a few days later.

He seemed to be at the club for ages. Don't think he actually left until 2011/12.

We played Spurs on good Friday about 10 years ago and beat them 3-1. The goal scorers where naysmith(left back) yobo and unsworth (centre halfs) and Carr (right back) for them. Nots sure if that counts but that couldn't have happened too many times.

She doesn't usual wear her skin then? Must make a mess of your couch

And if you wear gloves it may help to stop the scratching

The Man City match at Goodison 2 or 3 years ago to stop Liverpool winning the league. We all wanted to win the game but if city beat us it was a feeling of never mind lets just win next week instead! Weirded atmosphere at Goodison I've ever witnessed that game!

....have to admit to wanting City to win, the consequence if they hadn't was much worst.

No she doesn't, she usually rips mine off and wears that. She's quite a woman my mrs!

Right decision. I'd almost forgotten about losing that game but had things turned out differently, the kopites would have made it impossible to forget they'd won the league.

Two players named Alan scored on their debuts in the same game...
