What has been your lowest point supporting Everton?

If you’re not happy about threads being created and football discussion taking place on a football forum then maybe you should visit a different website mate.
No worries; just don't like it when people start threads for no apparent reason, it just doesn't make sense to me...

Enjoy your day!
 
It's the same every year....a bit of business in January and we'll be fine.. no we won't.
I also don't know where people are getting it from that we're likely to do a bit of smart business in January. When was the last time we did a bit of smart business?
 

Thinking back I remember losing a 6th round FA Cup tie1-0 at Old Trafford in 1956 which probably upset me because I expected more having beaten Man Utd 5-2 there earlier that season.

Losing the 1968 FA Cup Final was heartbreaking, again because we'd beaten WBA 6-2 away a few weeks earlier and I expected us to win.

Too many to mention but losing the semi in 1971 hurt.

Liverpool winning at Chelsea in 1986 because even after the Oxford loss I still thought we'd win the League, and to lose the Cup Final
after dominating the match and, in fact, the whole season is still hard to take.

Fiorentina was another, and the Origi farce and I'm going to stop there.
 
My first memory of being an Evertonian is Jeff Astle scoring in extra time in the 1968 Cup Final. There have been a succession of ups and downs since then but I think the lowest point was appointing Fat Sam as manager. I fully buy into the idea that Everton is more than a football club, I believe the club is a force for good in the community so when the decision makers decided that Fat Sam was a good fit for us I think we hit rock bottom. They appointed a man who having secured the dream job as England manager couldn’t be straight for more than one game, a man who scoffed at the speech impediment of a fellow manager, a man who laughed at players. For me Fat Sam was scraping the bottom of the barrel. Still annoys me when he is given air time and talks about saving Everton and what he could have achieved if he had not been sacked.

1975,literally threw the league away,1977 and all that,heartbreak,West Ham at elland road,varadi somehow missing to put us out of
sight in the cup against city,Stapleton in the cup at old Trafford,where’s my therapist????
 

Totally agree. Without doubt my worst day as an Evertonian. We played some brilliant football that season, but ended up with nothing. To lose the double to them made it even worse. Then later that summer, Gary Lineker left. That said, we would have been ectatic to have this kind of season these days. Shows how far we have fallen since then.
I firmly believe that if Howard hadn't let Andy Gray leave we'd have won at least one of those trophies that season. If not both. Him coming off the bench in some of the games we'd have either drawn the game when we lost or won the game when we drew. I remember towards the end of the season we drew at home to Chelsea I think and Gray would have made a difference cause we weren't tough enough that day and even his influence in the dressing room would have got us a few extra points.

Ironically enough we were on the idiot box this morning, a game from 1975, versus sheff utd 2-0 up - I turn it on, we lose 3-2 - Everton that!
