Topic: FC Class & Dignity. The Senior club in the city thread.(The new Everton thread)

[Fitzy.]

There was thread ages ago on GOT asking posters to list their best football memory since 1995. A few of them mentioned that Ferguson assault as their best football memory. I found that to be so sad.

They’ve had loads to celebrate:

1996 Cup Final
Gerrard red card in 1999 derby
Gerrard red card in 2005 derby
2005 League Cup Final
2012 Cup Final
Gerrard slip 2014
3-3 Palace 2014
Ramos foul 2018
Karius 2018
Kompany 30 yard screamer 2019

Bolasie corner?

[Uncle Ronnie]

Won a bunch of transfer windows too.

[Skeeve]

Does drunken's victim look a bit like Moyes to anyone else?

[kesey]

Amazing isn't it. They make out they are such a cultured club, yet their biggest hero since Dixie was Duncan Disorderly. A convicted thug and a yard dog who just went around acting like a twat. If anything sums them up, it's this.

Who I seen once in the Black Angus in Canny Farm in 93 or 94 I think.  It was the night before the season kicked off. Yes. It was him and fuck knows what he was doing there . Well actually I've got a good guess.

[Kekule]

I mean, he’s about 18 inches taller than the other fella, and is a supposed “hard man”, yet he’s attacking this much smaller bloke from behind and caught him unawares.

You can draw your own conclusions.

[Musketeer Gripweed]

I remember three things about Duncan Ferguson.

He used to keep homing pigeons.

He beat someone up in a Stirling taxi rank when he was still with Dundee United

He was out one night in Glasgow (The Blue Nile for people that know the city) with Ally McCoist, Ian Durrant and Andy Goram. I was there at the same time. The boys he was with are not exactly shy and retiring characters, but were having to plead with him to calm down, he was just about bouncing off the walls.

I mean, homing pigeons, what's that all about?

[only6times]

That letter. I truly love them. They keep me happy as Larry.

He also drove around in a blue ford escort estate van

You can't be getting done drink driving.

[So... Howard Phillips]

See Kasabele was sent off for Watford tonight for shoving a Norwich player into a hoarding.

Retrospective ban for Mason Holgate incoming? Or at least an admission from Sanctimonious FC that his actions were at least as dangerous as Son's, fortunately without a serious injury.

Looks like Duncan is bumming Moyes more like.

Mike Tyson also kept homing pigeons, I'm spotting a pattern......

[RedSince86]

Another thing about Duncan Ferguson.

He was utter shite, injured most of the time and when he was fit he looked like he was stealing a living.

Yeah but he had an Everton tattoo on his bicep that he flexed when he scored. LEGEND

[Flaccido Dongingo]

Think he averaged about a goal every 5 games for Everton, certainly worthy of "Legend" status at the Pit.

In for a week then out for a month, Duncan is a tampon

That’ll be like a red rag to a bull for any Got lurkers.

[leroy]

What the fuck has top 6 bias got to do with them getting beat by Villa, Bournemouth, Sheff United, Burnley and Brighton?

The real question is how good are Leicester & Sheffield United that they are overcoming the bias to get in the top four?  Oh and Bournemouth, Brighton & Crystal Palance to be above Man U & Spurs?

Pretty shit bias.

[Red Berry]

Too much red.

Dominic King saying if the get rid of Silva, the top two options to take over are David Moyes and Leslie Mark Hughes.

It's not Christmas already, is it?

Related news: Just found out that Hughes used to play for them. Absolutely no recollection of that.

[Lycan]

Probably because he only scored once in 16 or 17 games for them.

Going to have to update this baby.

Always got himself sent off middle of December so he could have Christmas off as he'd be suspended, even one of my mates staunch Bitter remembers & laughs at this situation.

[ScouserAtHeart]

one of the top scorers that season then

[Ghost Town]

I mean, homing pigeons, what's that all about?

I used to keep racing pigeons

But they'd keep winning so I stopped

That kit Hughes has on was nearly the greatest ever. "Gone 2 one" mock ups aots

[Andy ⁎ Allerton]

In defence of Duncan Ferguson, he's great with kids - goes out of his way to sign things and once immediately paid for a kids minibus when someone came round asking for signed kits to raise money for it and does loads of work for charity.

He's certainly been an absolute dickhead in the past, but from what good Blues I know have said, he seems to have completely turned his life around.

[Ratboy3G]

You mean a blue rag?

[Andy ⁎ Allerton]

An example of great work he's done for kids;

I have a very old friend from schooldays, a lifelong Blue, who was with his wife in a restaurant in town last year when the Everton team, or at least several members, came out from some private function room in the place.

So my mate and his wife went up to some and and asked for a selfie.

He said they didn't want to know other than Big Dunc who my mate said was really friendly, engaging and an absolute gentleman, not at all like the image most have of him.

I can vouch for this. One of my best mates is a blue and when he was much younger he went to the hotel in London before a game to try and get some autographs. Most of the players didn't bother, when Ferguson got off the coach he took the shirt off my mate and said 'Give me 20 minutes.'

He went into the hotel, came back down and every player had signed it, he even gave him a couple of footies and bibs etc.

Were the bibs from the toddlers used as ammo?

I always find it interesting how “betting tipsters” never seem to win enough money to give up work.
Bookies on the other hand make lots of money from the punters  who back their tips.
A bit like Mystic Meg and her lottery predictions.
Shite, basically.
