How carried away . . .

. . . do you get, when you watch Everton play, be it at a match, the pub or at home?

CanadaToffee · April 11, 2007

When we score (I mean when Everton score a goal), my family immediately knows about it - even when they're at the mall! (and probably so do the neighbours).

When we scored the second goal in the derby last year, I yelled so loud my wife actually thought I was in sever pain!

I cant hide it at all when Im watching them.

I act like a [Poor language removed]. Has to be said.

Arsenal goal is a brilliant typification. Ask anyone on here what they were doing at that moment, it was probably making little kids cry because they were roaring so loud. I went insane. A last minute winner. that's what football is all about. it was fantastic.
you cant buy that. Come on everyone let's have a retelling of the AJ's left footer against the frogs. Brilliant wasn't it?

Halo, Latch will be a [Poor language removed] cat compared to most, we score and the neighbours know about it, we concede and their cat knows about it when I can find the bloody thing

when everton score it is rapture, when the opposition score against livershite, its the creme de la creme, and when everton score past deR Schiesse, its the divine ambrosia.

Monty - i only started this thread to see if other wives went through the same as me . . .

I've lost count the number of times when jobs that i've asked him to do, come to a standstill because Everton are on sky, and he 'has' to get to the pub and watch it . . . :lol:

When it isn't on the telly - it's . . . .im booking the pc for . . . . and im having the tv between . . .

And when its on . . . the noise . . . well you can imagine it - there's the oooo's and the ah's and then there's shouting at the screen (yeah . . . like they're gonna hear you - i mean whats the point in shouting at the ref . . .
he can't hear you . . . not unless he's psychic or has very good hearing

)

When Everton win . . . that's all i get - 'did you see this . . . did you see that', and i don't mean just once . . .its over and over again, (im sure that he thinks i didn't hear him the first time)

And, heaven forbid that they loose . . . you'd have thought that the world had come to an end . . . ratty aint the word to describe it . . .

I made the mistake once of going to the local with him once when a game was on . . . nearly came home deaf, spent the whole time looking at the wallpaper, whilst him and has mates . . . yelled at the tv, screeched at the ref . . . and did some male bonding when they scored, (mind you this was a few years ago . . . i haven't been back since :lol:

I'm putting my serious head on here Halo, Latch is normal, there is nothing unusual in his actions at all, everyone, even Chico, will be aware of what your man goes through. We supporters, no matter what team it is, gather behind the flag of our team and stick with it through thick and thin. We blues have had more ups and downs than the Big One at Blackpool, when the going gets tough our support increases exponentially, every blue worth their salt rallies to the cause. Merseyside stood still the day we played Wimbledon to stay up, the celebrations that night were as good as any championship because we had won, that is the all important word, won.

When faced with a supporter of a rival team one-upmanship comes into play, that can take people back a hundred years, arguments will erupt of innocuous games from days gone by hence knowing your team is soooooo important. The greater you care the greater the passion, its like a marriage, I would never let anything or anyone hurt my family, most blokes would lay their lives down to defend all that they hold dear....................football and EFC is not more important but it certainly approaches it.

All of us on this site rally to the Everton cause, the easy option would be to have supported the rs, no we were chosen by the powers that be to support our beloved blues, we all do with a passion. You want to count yourself lucky that he only wants to watch the game on the box like I have to, you wouldn't see him all day if he actually went to the games. I can appreciate that living where you there are no other females to relate to but each and every spouse of people in here would be able to come on and tell you the same, it is all apart of being a supporter. Why support a team that, when you have the chance to watch them, some one comes along wanting to go shopping, a task that can be carried out 24/7, be fair to the lad after you and the family it is his passion and when you learn more you may be selected as a blue.

Please don't knock Latch for being a Blue, this lot will be made up he fights the cause in your neck of the woods, he is one of us, a TRUE BLUE and a guy I'm made up to have a friend. Remember Halo if you can't beat them join them, are you a BLUE?

Welton Toffee · April 11, 2007

It's all pretty much been covered in Monty's post, great post btw (y)

I'm sure my Mum only pretends to be an Evertonian because I'm so damn miserable when we lose. I was totally pissed off when we drew with Villa last week, so I'm sure you can imagine what it's like when we lose

People like myself, Latch, Dylan etc. in a way have things a lot worse. We don't live especially near and I only know of 2 or 3 other blues that live near by, only one of which I ever get chance to speak to. At the match there's at least a shared pain when we lose, it's agony when you can't even share it with anyone, hence why I'm a miserable [Poor language removed] when we lose.

But it's all worthwhile when we win, there's nothing like the feeling of a goal going in for the blues. And then walking into school on the Monday with my Everton shirt on and my head held high, safe in the knowledge that all the pondlife Man U and [Poor language removed] supporters have absolutely nothing over me. Fantastic :biggrin:

Gareth farrellys goal that kept us up that year- what a goal and what a celebration. I kicked a plate that flew into the Tv and smashed the TV and plate to pieces, did I care?! Did I eck! teh only thing I was worried about was getting another telly to replace it which I got from the bedroom. I went wild- beyond belief- OH WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A BLUE NOSE!!!!!!!

Dylan · April 11, 2007

Scream, shout, holler. My wife said she could have been in any pub in the the UK.

Monty , a brilliant post mate, and the feeling is mutual, hope your health improves Jim and that your soon back to your old self.

Go [Poor language removed] spaz.

Sometimes i [Poor language removed] go well OTT tbh.

Like Barton, he ran right by me, just went mental at him, i felt like hitting him :lol:

Arsenal this season, i ended up 2 rows in front of where i was sat, i also got up on the chair, stood up, and some knob pushed me off, i went flying :lol:

My Dad goes mad, but i spect he was even wilder in the 60's and 70's.

Rob · April 15, 2007

pretty much the same as everyone else, jump around and cheer

Gazdalf · April 16, 2007

I am not saying I get too carried away, but Everton stopped me getting married. By all accounts I was wrong with my decisions. I actually got the "Sometimes I am more important than football" speech. I was engaged to the girl for 2 years, I met her in the Army, she couldn't understand when I had been in Bosnia for over 6 months and came back on R&R and all I wanted to do was go to Goodison. I told her I would see her the following day. guess what the reaction was "If you really love them that much then it is them or me???".

I am still not married.

some people just don't understand.

As for match day reactions. we will just leave that alone, I have lost my voice again against charlton. must be the air, cant be the endless screaming and shouting, and convinced I can manage better than anyone ever.
