[If You Know Your History]

The 4-0 defeat to Bolton Wanderers under Moyes. Or the Tranmere debacle.

Another trauma, I was in the Everton end (open kop?) My mate, and I swear I have no idea where he got it from, is suddenly wearing a Mickey Mouse mask and is pissing down a copper’s leg.

My mate was a few inches short of being a midget and the copper was about 8ft tall. The police violence that followed would no doubt be frowned upon today, but was probably justified, under the circumstances.

We had many truncheon bruises to compare on the train journey home.

Ummm... EVERTON..... thats all i've got... EVERTON.

And to make it worse John Barnes supplied the cross.

God bless.

1962 STANLEY PARK END, JIM FURNELL R/S GOALIE DROPPED THE BALL AFTER AN EVERTON ATTACK, ROYSTON VERNON IN LIKE A SHOT, ROBS
THEIR GOALIE OF POSSESSION AND SLOTS IT HOME, THE REFEREE NOT SEEING THE LEGALLY SCORED GOAL, RAN FROM R/S AREA TO THE
CENTRE-CIRCLE WITH HIS BACK TO PLAY, OF COURSE WE WERE ALL CELEBRATING. THE REFEREE REFUSED TO ALLOW THE PERFECTLY GOOD
GOAL AND WAS NO DOUBT GIVEN A BROWN ENVELOPE AT THE END OF A 2-2 DRAW.

In recent years, I think Bournemouth is up there alongside being rolled over late on by Watford; the Moyes Wigan game is still a sore moment.

But for me, going out to Fiorentina on penalties after a tearing them a new one for most of the game is particularly bad, and more so due to the atmosphere.

I am convinced we'd have gone on and won it if that hadn't had happened. You've then got all the cup final defeats since the 80s onwards, but they're more raw.

That was one of those occasions where I’d actually convinced myself I was dreaming and was about to wake up.

Don’t think I’ve ever felt as physically sick at a football match as Wembley in 2012 when I saw the ball travelling towards Andy Carroll’s head in stoppage time. I don’t think I spoke a word to anyone from that moment until I arrived home many hours later.

When Distin played that back pass, I could see the crumble begin.

When Distin played that back pass, I could see the crumble begin.

That happened in slow motion too, I could tell from a mile away that he was gonna try the backpass, off balance and on his weaker foot, Suarez had anticipated it and already started to bend his run. I was trying to scream “NOOOOOOOO” Luke Skywalker style from the other end of the stadium but it was too late, he did it. Just an utter nightmare afternoon. My recollection of everything that happened is so vivid and crystal clear.

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.

I was at that game and had £20 on Baines first goal. I think he was around 12/1 or 14/1. We got the penalty and thought my luck was in but it wasn't to be.

Also remember Swansea beating us at Goodison back when he shall not be named played for them. On the way through security at the airport appeared the entire Swansea squad. Rubbed some salt into the wounds.

First ever trip to Goodison. Boxing Day evening, 0-2 against Sheffield Wednesday. Carlton Palmer scored a header from outside the area

Went to the pub with a RS friend for the Derby in 2014. Had high hopes
Battered 4-0, don't think we even had a shot on target
Pub full of cheering RS
At HT, at 3-0, I turned to the only non cheering lads in the pub at a table behind us and asked 'Everton fans too yea?'
They said 'No, Utd, we just hate Liverpool.'

I was truly alone, cold, and had to buy my jeering RS mate 4 rounds, one per goal

This thread is grim

Yeah and the dirty rat said this knowing full well he had already agreed to join UTD.

Moyes, still to commit his long-term future to Everton, has said he will make a decision at the end of this season and it remains to be seen whether a defeat of such disappointment and significance - and as the result of such an abject, uninspired performance - has a decisive impact on his next move.
