Topic: Our fantastic away support

[redgriffin73]

Weird, that thread literally got bumped this morning and I read it, maybe it's been deleted for some reason.

[BBS]

The banner said "I May be Dyslexic But I'm Sure Divock Origi is an anagram of David Fairclough" for those interested 

[Buck Pete]

Pete, were you the fella who climbed on the spiked fence at the front of our end, stark bollocko?

Or was that Buff Pete?!

No mate not me.  It was UEFA cup Ljubljana 2003 though when the fella did it.   Unless he did it at other games too?

Stark bollock except for a elephant pouch covering his bits. 

Brilliant trip that was

[Buck Pete]

Yep, ended up climbing over a fence that some lads pushed over as they were making us go such a long way around. Ridiculous, it's not keeping us any safer, you're still left on your own once you get past them all anyway. Line of horses holding back a few dozen Mancs outside our exit and then nothing.

Yeah those line of horses were holding back half a dozen little scrotes with man bags, green & gold scarfs and mobile phones thinking they were hard.  Probably the easiest days work the mounted police had at OT in their life.  There were coppers on foot behind the horses literally laughing in the faces of the half price hooligans.

What I could gather walking past was that one of the coppers on horseback was a Scouser.

I heard one dickhead shout "Why are GMP letting Scousers join their ranks!!?"

Yeah I remember Ljubljana elephant pouch man! Was at that too, brilliant trip as you say

But also remember someone doing something similar at Leverkusen, but on a much more precarious fence (precarious for his crown jewels)!

Loved that night. The momentum was gathering pace. I’d been the 4-2 a few years earlier and had to sit in the home end, which was fine as the German fans are great, but the 1-3 was special as there was none of the usual tension result wise. And Quo of course!

[Shanklygates]

I remember that at Leverkusen. It was Peter Sampara but nit sure if he has a user name on here

Capon Debaser says he looks like Pete Sampras so it could be him. The hairy bastard.

Yes he was definitely there that night. Didn’t think he was the sort to do that though (not that I actually know him)

If he’s naked you can’t see how many badges he’s got, and that seemed to be what it was all about with him. Maybe it was elephant pouch man again. Can’t believe we’d have two fans who liked to that, but then again…

Capon is badgeman, pass it on

[storkfoot]

………. I’d been the 4-2 a few years earlier and had to sit in the home end, which was fine as the German fans are great…

I was in one of the home stands that night, as were many Reds. We must have been a complete pain in the arse to the home support as we were bevvied and standing up singing all game.

It was an emotional game, a so near yet so far, and at the end I admit to having tears tripping me up. The German lad next to me, who must have been about 6’5” ( I didn’t appreciate this salient point until he stood up at the end) gave me an enormous bear hug!

I’ve always had a soft spot for Leverkusen since then 

[Red_Mist]

I was in one of the home stands that night, as were many Reds.

You’re not kidding storky…when we scored I jumped up (there was no need to sit on your hands and pretend to be called Jürgen that night) and there were little pockets of Reds everywhere doing the same. Hundreds in fact.

I’ve always had a soft spot for Leverkusen since then 

Same. The whole row shook hands with me as they filed out. Friendliest home end I’ve ever been in.

Not much of a town centre, but the beer tents around the ground were great and brilliant cities like Köln and Düsseldorf nearby to base yourself. Great trips.

haha i never said i looked like him. i said i was called/ one of my nicknames was Sampras in my late teens. Other people said i looked like him

I hear they say you look like Pete Price these days.

You might get the #Sausages treatment after that.

I can take a joke like but you can fuck right off with that shite

Thought that was Gary Sinise for a minute

[ldsn]

Pretty shite yesterday, although hardly surprising given the ground and the performance.

[Red_Mist]

So come on, who was in there? And how much fun was it?!  Old Trafford levels of fun?

[gazzalfc]

'Rafa's at the wheel' was wool behaviour but apart from that it sounded great

[Andy82lfc]

Yeah I was cringing at that too, but at the same time people can get carried away in the moment, hard to stay completely perfect when you are surrounded by all those baying mutants and that much toxicity. Must have been a load of fun anyway, seemed to be having a ball!

[redgriffin73]

'Rafa's at the wheel' was wool behaviour but apart from that it sounded great

Yeah, wasn't keen on that (the whole point of the Ole song was taking the piss out of what Rio said, it doesn't really adapt to other clubs IMO) but apart from that (and a brief round of Everton wives...) it was great. Not quite OT levels of sheer disbelief and fun but right up there. Legs are in bits today from their godawful seats.

I agree..but things take a life of their own and don't be surprised if your hear a lot of it sung around grouds to other managers.

and all the Rafa songs where to wind up the Blues not against Rafa..and I took it as he is in control driving them to relegation on our behalf

I agree with RedGriffin73, and you.

When I first heard 'Rafa's at the wheel' is just didn't sound right at all. Only Ole should get that treatment.
But i guess some Reds were trying to wind up the Blues as you said by saying Agent Rafa is taking them down.. so it kinda makes sense that way, but still feel strange hearing Rafa's name being used to taunt others.

More importantly, did anyone manage to trade some socks in for a match ball?

[Fromola]

Would have been better just singing La Bamba for the last 20 minutes. Ultimately though there'll be fans who aren't happy with him for going there and there was always a split in the fanbase over Rafa. Many loved him, many wanted him out and called him for everything.

[Thepooloflife]

'Snow is falling.........Merry Christmas, Everton' - could be heard on the telly. Great stuff 

[redgriffin73]

Salah's scoring...

I love how we seem to play them every December so we can bring out that song and just update the goalscorer

Like Brian Hillman into the Wetherfield Canal.

That and ‘we played the shite on a Wednesday night and they hardly touched the ball’ was getting belted out at mine during the game.

[SingFongFC]

*Coronation Street nerd mode on*

Richard Hillman wasn’t it? Brian was one of Gail’s earlier husbands I think…

On topic, last night was fantastic - not quite Old Trafford levels of fun but not far off. Getting to experience that level of fume first hand as we took them apart was something to behold!

Gah!

Brian was stabbed outside a nightclub wasn’t he? The actor who played Richard was called Brian. That’s my excuse.

Ah…used to love Rafa la bamba, especially the slightly doleful “…and Josemi”

[monkeyharris]

Hahahahaha
Just back through the door in time for MOTD
Quite a dull away until…..
Fucking hell.Is there anything better in footy than a last minute winner

I don’t think I’ve ever been wetter from the post match walk/run from the blue brick pub to the station but couldn’t care less after that😀

[kavah]

Well in to everyone that went 

[bradders1011]

Sounded great when that tit with the megaphone was having a rest.

[ImABeliever]

How was it today then? Certainly sounded pretty good, especially in the 1st half.

[phil236849]

Was a guest amongst Chelsea fans nearby.  Good volume and got under the skins of some around me. We just conceded goals at bad times
Neither fans as vocal second half

[ImABeliever]

Yeah we were a bit quiet in the second half, probably down to the nerves amongst the away support. But I found it incredible when their lot started calling our support shit, especially considering I'd barely heard them in the first half until their two goals - and pretty much 90% of their repertoire of songs are about us.

[monkeyharris]

Oh he wears the number 20

That was boss
The Diogo song came into its own at HT and then when he got the second
