Have the blues ever brought you to tears?

[bcblue1878]

Oh yes - as an eight year old at Wembley 1968! Absolutely devastated, then the silence in the car all the way back to Liverpool, 5 of us crammed into the car and no one spoke virtually the whole way home!

I doubt any of us would shed a tear if we went down this season. There'll be anger at the club and the Premier League, but given the state of the club it just won't feel like it would have done if we'd lost to Wimbledon or Coventry back in the day. These days we are a million miles away from winning the league, which is the point of being in it.

2nd replay v Villa 1977 - told to grow up by my da - I was only 11

1986 Cup final

 

[blue61]

Quite a few upsetting ones, already mentioned in the 70's. Happy tears was the 84 cup final, after 14 years in the wilderness, watching 'them' win everything, the moment Ratters lifted that trophy opened the floodgates.

Very much so.
The last few seasons have emotionally drained me .
It's as though this club has slowly got us ready.

When Dion Dublin equalised in 98, thought for sure Coventry were going to go on and win to send us down

Fiorentina stung but didn’t bring me to tears as me and my mates just hit the ale hard straight after to numb the pain

Wembley 2012, losing to them in Moyes’ final bottle job, first trip to Wembley and I was in that much of a somber mood that I didn’t even care about the National happening the same day

 

[Chewbacca]

First time - when we sold Alan Ball (I was 9)

Last time - in relief at the Wimbledon final whistle

I’m now too old and barely give a [Poor language removed] about the bloated corpse of what was once the beautiful game.

I chose the @emir option.

They've made me shake my head and tut many a time though.

You wanted to circumcise your hypothetical children?

You believe dinosaurs and man lived side by side?

1986 FA Cup final. I was 12 watching it on telly with my blue Dad and red Uncle. Had to go upstairs to save face...

 

[The binman chronicles]

Could switch this around to be 'have they brought a smile to your face' to narrow down the number of incidents.

 

[Brett Angell Delight]

Closest I can remember coming to actual tears was when we sold Kanchelskis.

Welled up a few times in the past, watching the EITC videos and stuff like that, or when we did the "He Ain't Heavy" thing to commemorate the 97.

Football-wise, it's mainly just seething anger I feel.

 

[Blue 1]

Yes. The 1986 cup final was the first time. The 2016 cup semi was the last.

Tossers.

Every single game tbh. Being in my mid 50's and so fortunate enough to have experienced the real Everton, it makes me cry every time time i see how shameful and embarrassing we have become and how low we are regarded these days by the footballing world.

There was a time when we were feared by everyone even when we had very little money. Now we are laughed at and expected to be in a relegation battle and even a lot of our own fans have succumbed to thinking that even a mid table finish would be an achievement.

This is kin Everton ffs, at least it used to be anyway.
