So you know what upset me most about last night. Folk on here saying their kids were crying saying they didn't want to support Everton anymore. My son is 7, supports Everton but isn't as obsessed as his old man with Everton and I sent him to bed at half time and told him not to worry about it. It would break my heart if he turned round though and said he didn't want to support Everton, that's what the level of performance done to some kids and I bet there were a few teenagers as well looking st their mums and dads last night thinking "you pair of horrible gits making me support these all those years ago".
As a fan all I've ever expected are effort, commitment, pride and togetherness - all things I like to think Everton helped me gain and offer in life as an adult.
Last night those players and management showed 0% of any of the above. We can take getting beat. I can't accept getting beat without any of the above on show.
Nights like last night can turn a generation of future supporters elsewhere. It's not just about us and the here and now it's about our kids and telling them we support Everton because they are the greatest club in the world, that it stands for something, that we will never be glory hunting all singing all dancing flag waving scruffy mutants like that shower of tits across the park. We were here first and we will be the last man standing.
Last night none of the players stood for anything, certainly not associated with Everton Football Club.
They physically make me feel sick when I think about then today. I wouldn't be able to shake any of those players hands and look them in the eye and say "fair play I still have respect for you". I've lost all remaining respect I had for them yesterday, the respect for Martinez was long gone.
Rant over, hurts being an Evertonian on days like today but we will take it on the chin. Its a lot harder for the kids and teenagers growing up to take though.
