To think Bootle FC played on their Cricket ground was once a Derby game ........Only if we had purchased Anfield instead of renting it of John Holding who tried to pinch our name FGS....

Football only started on the 27 May 1992, so it's all academic, right?

Can still see their beer gut sporting penalty taker ramming the retaken spot kick past Dai Davies for the second time, exactly the same place. The title was ours on a plate, only we could have messed that up.

The more I think about this piece of our past, the angrier I get. Coasting 2-0 up at Goodison getting beaten 3-2.

I was unaware of that bit of history (i.e. the ignominious loss to Carlisle), so it's (perversely) kind of reassuring that Everton have been 'Everton-ing that' for longer than I have supported them: I was beginning to think they'd reserved that propensity til I'd come on board! lol

And just to top it off the same against Sheff United.

You certainly won't be on your own with those sentiments.
Didn't we beat them in FA Cup a few years back?

Yes 3-0 I think in a televised match on a Sunday afternoon, I think the whole pitch was under water the day before the game but the club and supporters got it Cleared in time.

If that was the case though we would have a bunch of kopites walking amongst us.
We would infact be kopites.
Doesn't even bare thinking about.
How would we have been kopites when LFC would never existed there .......
Our players plus fans first built Anfield from an old Athletic running track ..'.....
Only a rent hike made us move to Goodison - a disused Market Garden .....
That's if you know your history - LFC took years to establish - yes we spawned the devil of a club ....
They are not founder members of the original football league as we are......

Oh Joey, I don't need a history lesson! I am not an idiot mate.
The people who support the RS would still exist, they would still want to support a team and that team would be us. We would still be in Anfield, we would be sat in the kop.
Their formation catered to that kind of person eventually. 1=20 and all that. In a way it is probably a good thing that we were able to siphon that lot into their own group as opposed to them being "us".
It's a horrible thought. They are a necessary evil.
If LFC had not been formed I would have gladly stood on the Kop plus we would have never faced them all that misery losing to them......
Grim game, I remember thinking that Alan Woodward looked about 50!
