Share your traumatic Everton game experience

Die by a single shot to the head or go for the Everton option of a 300 strong firing squad all pumping bullets into you at once.


Show the people where the naughty football club touched you...

And to make it worse John Barnes supplied the cross.

God bless.

Haha didn't realise that. Even better

One of my absolute favourite "horrible memories" Everton has given me was when Mirallas ripped ball from Baines and took that penalty. It was one of those karma moments that can only go one way. Absolute rot that. Still haunts me.

How long have you got @TheFinnFan ?

I think I could fill a full volume of books with them

Everything on here which has been mentioned plus the Pickford howler in injury time at their place which was only because Van Dyke absolutely mis hit the ball.

When the old woman who sits in the Upper Gwladys shouts in a very high pitched voice "Come on boys you can do this" when we are several goals down with a couple of minutes left is a traumatic experience that happens too regularly. There are people by me keen to find out where she's sitting in the new ground so they can make sure they're nowhere near.

theres a fella who used to sit behind me who shouted foul throw for every throw in, so much so i had a dream i beat him to death with a toffee hammer

Shrewsbury town away in the 00s. The result combined with other factors in my life at the time

Nothing else comes close, which in itself is surprising considering all the disappointments over the years.

Saturday 6th November 1982. As a 21 year old, travelling to the match alone, I left completely traumatised and then had to go to my nans 80th birthday dinner, with my kopite uncle grinning at me all night across the table. Fortunately, things got a bit better after that.

A really weird one that sticks out that probably shouldn’t because it wasn’t a heartbreaking or surprise loss was playing Chelsea under either Martinez or Koeman. Everton decided to stick both CM’s on Hazard for the entire game in an attempt to mark him out of the game which worked, but it just meant Pedro had absolutely no one on him for 90 minutes and he had free reign, scoring from 30 yards out within the first 20 mins and absolutely bossed the game.

I just remember sitting there aghast at how a premier league club could think that man marking one player would nullify a team full of talent and seemingly thought that Chelsea only had one good player and sticking the entire midfield on him would be a winning strategy. No other club in the world would do that, not one.

This month? This season? This year? Even further back? Where do I start....

I remember driving up for an away night game at Newcastle

An horrific car crash delayed traffic getting in (when I finally saw the car in question it was a terrifying burnt out husk)

By the time I got into the stadium the game had already started, and as I climbed the never ending staircase up to the away end I had a terrible asthma attack

Stupidly I left the inhaler in the car, so I had to just stand around on the stairs trying to get my breath back, and as I did I heard a roar that signified I had missed the only goal of the game

I finally made it up to the top and saw the remainder of a cruddy game, with the only bonus being that we won

An awful away day that was only eclipsed by the time we threw away a 0-2 lead at their ground a season or two later

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

Another one was the awful away game at Stoke in 14/15 where they beat us convincingly and I left the stadium all but sure that we were down

Close to a mental breakdown on the drive home

Dark times
