Just got to wish Yannick a strong recovery from a horrible injury, and that we'll look forward to him flying down the wing for us asap.

I actually can't believe what I've been reading on here and other media by Evertonians over the last few pages. Whatever your feeling about him as a player, whether you rate him or believe he's a waste of space. Wishing injury on him and celebrating that is quite sickening to me.
There comes a point where you can't point the finger at others when your own are equally as bad.
Like I said earlier, after the embarrassing reaction to the managers Christmas tree and now people celebrating our most creative outlet this season being injured, some of our own fans are a real embarrassment to the club.
Let's call it Evertonian behaviour from now on, hard to imagine those across the park celebrating one of their own getting a long term injury.

Well said Tom, support the club and its players whether you like every player or not
If you dont then youre not really a supporter of Everton FC

They aren't suggestions, they are players who have actually played there - so in reality we do have more than three wingers. Knock the faux outrage on the head

Who on earth are you to judge that??
Some outrageous shouts in here. If someone said "if you've never been to Goodison, you're not really a supporter" there would (rightly) be uproar. I'm not arsed if you only cheer generally in the direction of a TV once in a blue moon, if you identify as an Everton supporter, you're an Everton supporter. There's no definition - "born, not manufactured " is the saying.
I think he just means if they are wearing the blue jersey, then we should get behind them mate. Not be celebrating when one of them gets a long term injury, which is the response you would expect from a rival, not one of your own.
It's not faux outrage either IMO, it's completely unnecessary and unacceptable behaviour.

I am no fan of Bolasies ability but on a human level an ACL injury is extremely painful, I had a very very very mild tear in my right knee once and if you jar your foot its like hot knives in your capsule, it hurts like hell.

Again , I don't dispute the fact that no one should cheer Bolasie's injury - for a variety of reasons but the main one could be that a person we don't really know could be about to lose their livelihood or may never recover enough to play football at the highest level again, which is a shame - but I don't agree at all with the concept of blind loyalty to those that have the privilege of putting on the shirt, mainly because we've seen so many who put it on and probably need their agent to remind them who they play for every time they take an interview.
Should we have blindly cheered on Neville, who was once asked what year the club was founded and couldn't, despite "visiting the club museum regularly after hours" and wearing it on his badge for too many years? Or sued the club on an obscure technicality for a month's extra wages?
Or Bilic, who did all he could to engineer a move away and refused to play for us, feigning injury?
Or Snivelley, who loves to do those horrible Club soundbites and yet you'd struggle to remember a worse midfield performance than Sunday's in the last decade from an Everton player?
Blind loyalty to the club, undying devotion to Everton, I totally get. Relentless and unconditional support for a few millionaires who don't embody any of the Everton qualities of skill, industry and never-say-die fight you expect out of players at our Club? Nah, not for me.

I cannot comprehend how any Evertonian would wish ill on the club or any of the players.
I cannot equate support and loyalty with that type of mindset
I meant as in Del maybe getting a run lad x

Again though - and I can't speak for posters who have cheered, banned or otherwise- there's a huge difference between support and loyalty to Everton and support and loyalty to individual players. The Club, in my lifetime, have done masses to engender that sense of feeling , so while we gripe and whinge sometimes we still love Everton really. Just dragging the shirt over their head on a weekend doesn't instantly translate to requiring support for individual players for me. Would you support vermin like Nile Ranger of they played for us? Or El-Hadji Diouf ? Or utter rot like Snivelley?
I totally get your point and I agree. Would I cheer Fred West on in a blue shirt? No of course not.
This was one of our own though and a good lad by the looks of it who always try's his hardest, hence the maybe over reaction towards people being actually pleased about it.
I agree with what you are saying though, it would be foolish not to.

Of course it's a common view, why would you not like a player wearing the blue shirt? And he's a very good player. When the team aren't playing well it's a problem with the engine, blaming him and particularly blaming him as a 'bad player' is just nonsense. When the team play well he is the type of player that shines because he relies on the engine. You will very rarely see a player like Bolasie have an amazing game when the rest of the team play badly.
