Won’t go into your ‘anger and bitterness’ comment re Scousers in general but safe to say I disagree. On the footballing front, in the city Everton and Liverpool are equals. And there’s a lot of respect between the two sets of fans and the clubs in general - a lot due to Hillsbrough. Yeah, they’re rivals. And yeah, I’m sure there’s some idiots. But because allegiances go across families and friends, in general it’s quite a friendly rivalry. You wouldn’t find many who attest to genuinely hating the other side in the way that some on here feel about Rovers. It's not about that, it's nothing to do with fighting, or idiots, it's nothing to do with Hillsbrough and the togetherness from that, it's about being usurped on the field and no longer being what your club used to be, and not being able to let go of the idea that Everton are best, nothing but the best, and not being able or prepared to see their club for what they are now even while they're spending hundreds of millions, which is some way short of "equal." And the peculiar bitterness that stems from this. Everton fans, I don't doubt, impressed upon you how "equal" they are. Like I say, they still cannot accept the reality - a reality that repeats year upon year. They think they should be doing much better than they are. But why? They don't even get near Liverpool in derby games never mind over a full season - it’s one of the more lopsided cross city derbies in the country. We're more likely to struggle v Rovers than Liverpool v Everton. Everton fans might not be the angriest but they are the angriest/bitterest. An angry bitterness that consumes them like no other fanbase. Because of how far they've fallen whilst Liverpool simultaneously have soared. As Merrick was saying. Everton are now mediocre PL fodder, having been English football royalty. While Liverpool are global giants. This is a unique about-turn in cross-city fortunes and a unique bitterness is the result. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Skin Posted December 3, 2021 Report Share Posted December 3, 2021 Only once have I left a City game early. This was during a long losing streak, but that wasn't the reason. I was on a bad run myself. I had a bad case of diaherrea, and thought it best to vacate the ground quietly rather than my bowels noisily.

No worries mate, I was wanging on about the 2013/2014 season when Liverpool narrowly missed out on winning the Premier League title by two points to Man City even though both teams scored over 100 league goals that season! Then I respectfully realised you were talking about a much more recent season - hence my humble edit! Apologies ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Show Me The Money! Posted December 6, 2021 Report Share Posted December 6, 2021 The offside rule was brought in to stop goal hanging. How can being offside by a billimeter be goal hanging. Both players feet were on the bloody line of the penalty area. VAR just ruins the game. Give me mistakes by refs and linesmen any day Everton my second team in case anyone was wondering about why I’m so pissed about this 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that until they can freeze frame at the exact moment the ball is played (they currently can’t) and they can be 100% confident that they can draw perpendicular lines from a body part off the ground properly, that VAR shouldn’t be used. I do agree re feet though….so what if you’re leaning forward. I also hate the fact that refs carry on play, someone is gonna get injured at some point.
