Female fans getting hassle

[Crosby Blue]

Excessive use of white powder is a factor in this. Drink has always been a problem but the wider use of this scourge will be an element in this. Pity there were not other mature male fans around to put the idiots concerned in line. Sorry you had to experience this.

You’re certainly right in general and quite likely in this specific case, too.

100%. Bad enough listening to bellends who can't handle their ale but when mixed with people who can't handle their ale AND on the beak, then you get the highest form of tosser on show.

I got no issue with anyone who wants to spend their dollar on a stripe or 3 or like a bevvy, but ffs people make love not war. If it turns you into an aggressive bellend, simply don't do it. Or if you want to do it, do it in the safe environment of your ma's basement and take out your anger online whilst playing Fortnite

Have I just been unlucky or have other female fans been getting more hassle before and after games recently?

I’ve been going to the game for many years, with my Dad, husband, friends or on my own, and would previously have said it’s always felt safe, but within the last months I’ve had someone grab the waistband of my jeans in the pub and try to pull them down, then last night a group of fellow Evertonians took over the quiet carriage of the train I was on back from London, intimidated me and a few other women travelling alone, to the extent that I messaged Avanti and they advised me to move elsewhere, and then shouted a few nasty things after me as I left the carriage.

Feck the sick scumbags that did that. Unacceptable

Sorry to hear about your awful experience, hopefully the authorities take appropriate action especially if there is CCTV footage.

There’s always been an issue with this but it did feel that things were improving. However think in the last 5 years or so, we have seen more pushback from men being told to
consider their behaviours coupled with the rise of high profile misogynist commentators and politicians.

Men especially, often don’t like to feel as though they’re being told what to do or if their actions or behaviours are wrong. For many it’s simply much easier to double down.

Offenders such as these should be banned from travelling by train. Horrific behaviour.

I've been trying to think of some advice to give you, but that in itself is damning, as you shouldn't have to worry about things like this, but society has less and less morals these days. Won't be long till we have a generation of beak addled, boozed up, pill popping, weed smoking 80-year-olds. On Remembrance Sunday, that's a sad indictment of where society is heading.

One bit of advice I will offer though, is perhaps when getting a late train, wait until as late as feasibly possible to board the train, and use your knobhead radar when possible. Again, I feel bad for having to say something like that. You shouldn't have to worry.

Genuinely upset to hear this. Unforgivable. Not content with the whole Everton experience being an ordeal, they want to heap on our female fanbase. Likely not just an Everton thing unfortunately

[James Patrick]

Pity you weren't able to get a couple of photos of them. I suspect it would be easy to identify and shame them.

 

[Deulofeumygod]

This is horrific. Sorry you went through this.

I’m in the ‘report to transport police’ team. Scumbags should be locked up.

Yeah let’s not presume anything like.

That's horrific.
Shame on any of you knobheads who make people feel like this, and those who sit back and watch it happen.
Society is broken and way beyond repair.

So sorry you have encountered these issues.

Sadly these Neanderthals will never learn.

 

[The binman chronicles]

Genuinely angry that people still think it's okay to act in this way.

Would encourage any blue who sees this to create a block between the knobheads and who they are targeting. We have daughters and if we don't we definitely have mothers. Think what they would feel in that situation and DO something about it! Don't let the scum of the world win. If you tolerate this and all that...
