Weird and wonderful places youve tuned into an Everton match.

Ascension Island. The game were Rooney came back in the cup and there was murder on Everton Valley.

Spent 3 months studying and living in western Siberia when it was still Soviet Union. Used to tune in to bbc world service which only used to broadcast second half commentary - and would prey all week that Everton were on. World service always used to cut off 5 mins from the end so there being no way to communicate with the west other than letters we had to wait for weeks to find out what the actual result was.

a go-go bar in koh phangan , watching the evv win whilst getting me balls tickled !

Same ... go go bar in Patong vs RS when jags belted in that screamer

Went to Moscow for work, and watched Lille Everton with a load of Russians, who became blues as a result.

Don’t even remember the score, or the night... just remember it being absolutely brilliant!

On an Amtrak train travelling between Chicago & New York in the middle of winter, trying to listen to the Derby on my phone in a snowstorm....

Atop a sand dune in France to get a mobile signal for a Europa game

Gay nude sauna in Paris ;-) Lisbon has nothing on this place though ;-) 2 hours for match ended up a 10 hour stay ;-)

I am in a converted barn in the arse end of nowhere in Wallonia in Belgium
There’s a dog outside permanently running figure 8 patterns and barking it’s head off at the cockerel who occasionally screeches obscenities back in pure chicken speak
The farmers wife leaves apples at my door ant the farmer looks like a serial killer in a bad day .....
Thank god for sky go

That sounds a lot like a Waloon horror flick I saw a while back...

I worked Tactical comms in RAF, quite fun setting up a satellite phone in the field to phone my Dad for the inevitable crushing match report.

What in the blue blazes were you studying in Western Siberia?

 

[Armaghtoffee]

A Monastic college in Dublin. During a meditation session I was reprimanded for disrupting the calm.

Everton v Reykjavic in 1995. I had the wire of my headphone fed through my sleeve then into my right ear.

God Bless Graham Stuart.

Russian. We were the first ever Western students in the city. It was a miserable depressing place

Back in the day I used to have to tune in on shortwave to the BBC World service. It was very hit and miss but I could usually work out what was going on
sitting in the kitchen with my transistor radio during the night. I don't remember why I sat in the kitchen but it must've been where I got the best reception.

Anyway, it was very bad one time and I went out and found a half decent signal at the bottom of the back yard listening to the first leg of the Cup Winners Cup
semi-final v Bayern Munich. Not very exotic, but walking around the garden in Melbourne holding a transistor radio to your ear was different.
