Serious question as foreign supporter

[BiggyRat]

No no sorry I don't mean literally bashed. But that Everton fans make fun of them because many foreign people support Liverpool. I can't stand Liverpool fans myself including the ones here because they always think they achieved something before they have achieved it and that they are somehow entitled to trophies.

lollollol Ha! Sorry, totally missed the subtlety of your post! My bad.

Well, I'm in the same category as you. A 'foreign' blue. I'm half Scouse so I guess that's where we differ but it's one thing to have support from outside the local area, and another to believe that a full stadium is full of locals. I think that's where our fellow Blues in Liverpool differentiate themselves.

A full Goodison would easily have a higher percentage of local support if only for the fact that Everton have a lower profile OS. My Daughter occasionally wears her EFC kit to Uni & loves the double takes that people familiar with the PL give her.

Man U, Man C. Chelsea, & RS kits are a dime a dozen out here, and success will attract the 'fashion' fan. There's no doubt they've had success, but entitlement is a deluded mindset.

Crikey
I’m from Dublin
I come over 5/6 times a year and have done the last 15 yrs or so
Before that it was 3/4 times a year
I’ve gone to the Palace away game the last 3 yrs and I’ve never seen violence and that includes derbies .even at the pit
I’ve been on stags to Liverpool and been in the Vines and on Matthew street till 4am and never seen real trouble.
You should come to Dublin on a sat night to see real aggro

Yeah, I misunderstood the OP but, I don't doubt what you're saying. Clearly, it was only Barkley that got a fright....lollol

My question here is if fans welcome foreign supporters

Hell mate, all foreigners (even gun toting yanks ) are welcomed by the Everton family.
Actually, most of the hatred is reserved for us wools. It's difficult to explain really. I mean OK, so I still wear my 70s three star jumper, I have six fingers on each hand and I sported a mullet when I married my sister, but hey, nobody's perfect. I live 25 minutes from Goodison FFS

You had a mullet on your Wedding day? That's just weird mate!

Supporting Everton is NEVER wrong.

Unless you support Everton

Welcome, my Georgian friend, you have selected well and will find supporting Everton to be a lifelong journey of misery and angst. We are a non denominational, equal opportunity, worldwide phenomenon which brings pain and heartache to fans across the globe. 1 shot on goal in 3 games, losing 4-1 to a relegation team, and rejoicing in drawing home and away with the worst team in the league was our highlight of the season. We were made to be 8th. We suffer together, if we were a cold war Russian satellite state our slogan would be "Joy from disappointment" with a picture of an obese Samuel next to a tractor, printed using carved potatoes as stamps. Our real team motto mocks us daily. Even when we had the best team in Europe fates conspired (with Maggie Thatcher) to stop us. We were the richest club in the country when it didn't make a difference. We once had the greatest goalscorer ever and now we spend half a season without a forward at all. Our Board put the Everton in "for EVER TONe deaf", and we are run like K-Mart after Sears bought them.
This may seem all glum to you but that's why we are here, clapping the man that has overseen our demise like obedient drones. Don't hope things will be better in the future, it is indeed, The Hope that kills you...
Welcome!

Uncle bill loves everyone. It's the people's club after all. If you believe that then you believe anything. Snuff said

I will never forgive Moyes for coining that cringey phrase

a very eloquent and precise synopsis of the Everton Supporters Manual

If you're wondering if you support the wrong club .... means you're just like the rest of us. Supporting someone else isn't an option sadly as I hate every other club .

 

[carolinablue232]

If you have to question your own support then maybe you should just stick to an MLS team.

How’s the air up there?

When I decided I wanted to start watching the premier league it was natural due to an article I read here describing each team and how they relate to NFL teams well I am massive Denver Broncos fan and they were the team it said Everton were most like. And on top of that Tim Howard was here. Now I can't get enough and get just as frustrated with how this season has gone.

Fair play mate, a big round of applause for sticking with us and for brainwashing your child

And here I was thinking I was a 35 year glory hunter who was just crap at it.

 

[Yank]

Ha no basically it was about the loyalty of the fans and how the club values the fans, as strange as that Sounds at this very moment

Broncos fans are more like reds to be frank.

Mate, you are fine. It's only the Wools and the Welsh that are deeply mistrusted.

In case you can't read between the lines on the sarcastic answers because we are crap this season, there is nothing wrong with being a foreign supporter. No one likes a fair weather fan and you'll find most foreigners support Utd, Chelsea, etc. and are insufferable when they brag about their trophies, as if it was so difficult supporting these teams through their constant years of winning. You'll be more than welcomed at Goodison, so welcome to the Everton family! You won't ever need to worry about being labeled a foreign bandwagoner anyway the way this team is going
