Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven

That's a couple of major milestones you've got to look forward to, mate. When was your first visit to Goodison? Mine was September 1973. A 3-0 win against Bobby Robson's Ipswich.

Keep positive and make sure you and your missus look after yourselves.

Thank you for those fine comments.... My first game was 1961 when dad took me and bro Paul..... Fulham we won 1-0...Jimmy Gabriel scored.
First game on my own was during the cup run of 66 and I got my first s/t for the 67/68 season.
Where did that go?
Some fine memories, others not so good.
I am keeping positive about myself and EFC... ?

Cheers mate, nice post, he's just landed down here with the rest of the gang, he's beyond excited and he thinks he's watching the game in the pub. I told him when we score he'll be able to hear the cheering from the stadium.?
 

Good morning all on this awe inspiring day ,I hope the @larbert toffee crew have a day to remember ,I just feel sorry for the poor lad ,at least if he was in a pub he could always say "Well at least I never went inside " now his future is going to be set in stone and not a very solid one at that . I do hope Big Duncan gives him a result he will be able to hang on to .
Have great day all .
 
Morning all on this bright and frosty morning. We are taking granddaughter to her drama club later which means we will miss the second half of the match. Last week I was happy to volunteer our services now that doesn’t seem like such a good idea. Only kidding, I’d do anything for her really and she can always repay me when she’s a rich and famous actresslol. Have a great day all. UTFT’s

Gym got binned off tonight due to the continuing traffic issues from the crash. Roads are still closed and jammed up. I have no idea how this happened but a car drove off the bridge over the A1 and landed upside on the A1. Driver walked away, passenger was airlifted to hospital. Could have been so much worse.

Read about that one on the news. Hope you’re ok; can’t be easy being in such close proximity to something like that, even if you didn’t witness first hand.

I know you're a connoisseur of the the old style pubs in town H. Had a good night out along Dale Street with some old workmates on Tuesday. Started off at the Ship and Mitre, and took in the Excelsior, a couple of pubs I don't remember the name of, The Vernon, Rigby's and finished off with last orders at The Saddle. All old haunts apart from the 2 I can't remember the name of obviously. Ha ha. Mention some names and I may remember, one was just off Dale Street.

Morning Fred , after a night at the rugby I’ve just finished off a couple of hours in the gym in preparation of a large brekkie and more than a few pints back in the loving arms of the Old Lady that is Goodison.

Well I’m glad you had a good day , Dale street has been a great road for a beer for years , even up to tithebarn , and traditionally very blue . They’ve all found it pretty hard the last couple of years with WFH so I’m sure they were glad of your patronage. the excelsior is a cracking boozer and very much solid blue , the owner in particular, it’ll be bouncing this afternoon as there is memorial drink on for a bit of a old school Evertonian so hopefully three points will help that day along . Side street I’m thinking if it was halfway up it’ll be the rose & crown if it was passed the saddle it’ll either be the hole in the wall or the Denbigh Castle . Denbigh is an other big Everton boozer with some good Everton memorabilia on the walls , if you didn’t pop in give it a visit . Rigbys was always on everyone’s list and used to be a big meeting place , lots of history in that building that’s for sure .

It’s mad how lots of people from other places don’t get the having a wander , lots of people like to plonk themselves down once they find a good pub but Scousers in particular love a stroll. I’ve said before I think it comes from the city centre being so small .

@larbert toffee have a brilliant day today mate I can only hope an early goal electrifies the place and shows him what a real Goodison can be like . Fingers crossed its Something he’ll never forget , hopefully got a good reason .

It was deffo the Rose and Crown. The other pub was on the corner of that road and Dale Street. I don't remember it actually being a pub before so it may be new. There was a old guy called Charlie you'll probably remember used to run the hole in the Wall and the Slaughterhouse I think. Then worked for his daughter in The Vernon. Can't remember her name but last I saw she was running a place in Chester. There was another guy you may remember whose name escapes me. Big guy, really good man, used to run Andersons in the early 90s then moved to Ma Boyles.
 
Good morning folks. PT session this morning at 7.30. Ridiculously early in my humble opinion but it's done. Glad you are home safe @Barnfred 55 . Dale Street is quality. The Ship and Mitre is a great pub. One of my favourites. @larbert toffee I am so excited for you and your grandson today. It will be such an experience for him. Hope we win for you.

Dad still in hospital. He seems OK in himself but waiting on more tests and results. We're just going to see how it goes and then my brother and I will have a talk about how to manage the situation. I can easily travel to Liverpool and work from home while I'm there so we should be able to sort things out between us.
Off shopping in a minute and then the mighty blues!
