Reasons for supporting teams

[Blue Cheese]

Everton and only Everton, they are in my family DNA passed down to me and I have passed down to mine increasing the Evertonian population along the way,

My three boys couple seasons ago and I have just had a little girls 3 weeks ago to pass onto as well.View attachment 1843

so self obsessed with my own posts that i've only just noticed this photo.

Brilliant mate that, i try with my own family but I don't have kids and it's a battle to get my nephews n nieces to support the Blues like.

Thinking on it though I reckon i'm winning percentage wise. even got my nephew to call his dog Goodison tonight haha

Thanks mate but it has to be said there were others here before me. Dylan, Bill, GSG to name a few.

Aww crap, I mistakenly called Bill 'TX Blue'??????? Is Dylan not an expat scouser???? Don't know who the frig GSG is like

I'll just say this about LCAB. I get why people get turned off. But I know him personally, and the fella is really a genuinely super guy. He's been a great friend, and when no one else turned up at the bar when I was there, he got a taxi immediately and came down and he doesn't even drink. He also gave me a programme from 1978 autographed by Mick Lyons.

Sometimes we can't judge a book by it's cover is all I'm saying.

I'm far from turned off by LCAB i like his passion mate he's a Blue through and through like

Support Everton because my Dad would have probably smacked my head in if I even thought about supporting someone else.

Well on your way to a five a side team, Blue Cally. Congratulations on the little girl coming along too, bet the Missus is pleased she's not outnumbered as much now.

No that's it now NO more, now the missus has the girl she is happy, I will have to dust of the boots to complete the 5 a side team.

I'll always have a warm spot for the LCAB.

It's beginning to look like I might get over for the Palace game in September, BTW. Cooking up a 12-day tour with the missus.

I like to say I had no choice in the matter since my dad is a Blue, and even before I was old enough to understand football beyond 22 men booting a round thing about, I knew Everton were blue and they were mine, Liverpool were red and we dont like them! But then maybe it is something thats in you because my brother was likewise a Blue when we were kids then crossed over to the dark side because his best mate was red and this is around the time we started getting a bit [Poor language removed] in the early 90s and the [Poor language removed] won the League, so that was nothing to do with it at all...

So here we are nearly 25 years later, he's got 3 kids and Im doing all I can to make sure they're Blues! I bought the oldest an Everton kit for her forst birthday, but shes now 6, more intersted in One Direction and gives us girls a bad name when she always has to ask 'can I not like Liverpool AND Everton?' Which met widely with disapproval...the two boys are babies yet, only 1 & 2, but Ive still got that kit I bought her 6 years ago, and all 3 of them have had it on their backs at some point! Long few years of indoctrination to make sure we claim the boys for the good side!

Your brother sir/ma'am is a bad kopite, you are obviously a decent chap/ess so forgive me for saying leave your brother to his delusional life as a red x

*pretty sure you're a Ma'am but had a bit too drink x

 

[Smudge1985]

He's a stain. He's not just a Kopite, he is the absolute worst form of Kopite. The armchair, Suarez defending, doesnt know who they're playing but turns up when they beat us on Derby Day type.

I do remember him trying to take me with him, I was only about 5 or 6 at the time, and one of the reasons I didnt turn with him is because I thought my dad was Tony Cottee because he was called Tony, and I was a bit young to realise then that there was more than one Tony in the whole world!

 

[Furey1878]

What are my reasons for supporting any given team you ask?

Well:

1) It's Everton, can't help it.
2) If the team is not Everton, then that team is probably playing Liverpool that week.

Dad grew up on Mersey supporting everton and him just telling me about the history from the 70's to 90's and taking me to the first game and now I've never been this obsessed with everton.

Given the evidence you cite, it's gonna be Everton mate.
