Really weird Everton match

[Khalekan]

Was at that game too, in the St End, remember the Enclosure started cheering which whole ground assumed Chelsea had scored. We were 4 or 5 up at HT and flattest ever when HT scores read out. Weirdly, was talking about this game with a customer 2-3 years ago, an Irish lad who's a red. He said he was at GP for first time that game and had a radio, listening to Radio City Chelsea/RS commentary. Dogleish scored, he jumped up, and that's how it started....

Well, there is a 30 year old mystery solved

Weirdest one for me ( out of around a 1000!) was an Oldham cup replay at Goodison 90? The crowd were mental that night - the ref was awful went round booking virtually every Everton player in the second half, causing the most toxic angry crowd I have ever witnessed. Thought he was going to get lynched! Also remember the Sheff Wed cup games, three 1-1 draws then the 3rd replay at Hillsbrough and we were 5-0 up at half time. Loads of blues only got in at half time due to traffic chaos on th Pennines. A mad first half.

Yep,Tony Ward the ref that night v Oldham,totally lost the plot,thought he was getting lynched

The 0-3 loss to Wigan in the QF.

We were all over them and then conceded a snidey goal and I remember getting up straight away to the toilets because I was annoyed, was thinking;

"FFS, we'll still win but why do we always have to make easy things hard?"

I heard someone say in the toilets it was 2 and I was like "WHAT?!". When I got back up the stairs it was 3. I don't even remember being angry after that game. I was just in complete shock, it was like being in a dream but realising it, I kept expecting to wake up any minute. I just couldn't accept that the day's events were real. Weirdest feeling I've ever had after game, especially when we've lost.

The anger came in the days after and it was directly aimed at Neville. Had that pube ever worn a blue shirt again I'd have ran on the pitch and assaulted him. Rubbish player, joke of a captain, excuse for a pundit.

Anyone remember a game circa 1980 at home to Ipswich?

We were trailing 3-0, I think, to the very good Ipswich side which was pipped by Villa for the Title a year later.

Paul Mariner then scored a great goal and every Everton fan in the ground rose to applaud him

A few weeks later Ipswich came back to town in the Cup quarter final and we turned the tables

Big bob nutted in a brilliant header. Ipswich had a great side then.should have won the league

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?

[/QUOTE Everton v Grimsby Town 1984 , we absolutely hammered them , and got beat 1-0 . I went home soaked to the skin and devastated.

March 1980. Then we lost the semi to West Ham after a replay grrrr. Thought our name was on the cup that year.

Everton 3 Arsenal 1, first home game of the 91/92 season and we absolutely murdered the reigning champions. It should have been six or seven at least. I watched it perched sideways on a seat in the street end that must have been designed for someone with detachable legs.

In terms of cold, I see your BATE at home and raise you AZ Alkmaar away.

The reserve match the week (day?) dunc released from prison. Was about 20 thousand there (or memory tricks) and was proper cold. Like -5c.

Remember Sharpeys volley in the 2nd replay at GP? Don't think have ever seen a ball move so fast.

 

[DownOnTheUpside]

that game at Southampton where we put two through our own net in the first 10 minutes or something

honestly I just laughed

 

[king louis IX]

United game around 2002 at Goodison

0-3 down after 40 mins in the pissing rain. We had the ball for about 20 passes and the crowd where giving it 'ole'. Seemed to cheer everyone up and we pulled it back to 3-3, only for Van Nistelrooy to score in the last minute..

We were close to going down in 1979/1980 !!

 

[Big Neville Southall]

Away to Liverpool around 30 years ago, there was actually one Liverpool fan on the kop and no kidding he had a scouse accent.

We needed a point at Brighton away to make safety a certainty
