"You think this is bad son?..."

[Khalekan]

I’ve said this before but I’ll repeat it, please don’t blame Glen Keeley for that poor performance, that was down to Howard Kendall, Kelley hadn’t played all season while at Blackburn, he wasn’t match fit, told Kendall he wasn’t ready, but Howard talked him into playing, Glen was poor, sent off after about thirty five minutes, Howard should have listened. Keeley was a very good experienced centre back who played hundreds of games foeBlackburn Rovers and other clubs, you cannot perform at your best if you are not fit, I put the blame on Kendall for playing him, Neville Southall was sent on loan after that game, other players were dropped, the fact is Howard was struggling at that time and should have listened to Keeley, it was a desperate decision to play him and a complete cock up followed.

Indeed.

I wouldn’t disagree with a word of that.

In the context of this thread however, it is sommat one might well say to a son whom is complaining about contemporaneous calamities.

And for all of us who were there that sorry day, it will be forever remembered for Glen’s dismissal, even if the disaster itself was not of his making

You think this is bad son? I saw us buy Ibrahima Bakayoko then sell Duncan Ferguson

Yes that’s true, when you think of that game even though Rush scored four, the first name that comes to mind isGlen Keeley’s, so I understand your point of view.

So was I, sitting with a red friend of mine and his son, had to bite my tongue right through the game, going home then drinking with him that night. Wasn’t the first time Everton had embarrassed me and it most certainly wasn’t the last, and that’s just counting Derby games. Got to laugh haven’t you or you’d go bleedin’ nuts.

You think this is bad son? I remember us running out to a jarg version of bad moon rising

You think that this is bad son? In 1951 when I was 15, my Dad told us that we were moving from Liverpool to Leeds.

Couldn’t you have stayed with your nin ( grandmother) ?

You think this is bad son? I remember our manager going to watch Ayr united v Dundee United and thinking Alan Hansen and Andy Gray weren't worth a bid. He didn't want to spend £300K on Ian Rush either

You think this is bad son, just wait until Saturday night.

Actually, as I had left school, there was some talk about me staying in Liverpool and working for my uncle who had a fruit and veg stall in St. John's market. Didn't fancy doing that though.

We once booed Sean Davis for failing a medical.

I remember watching an Everton team with 7 centre halves playing... I try hard not to though.

I remember being there for Southampton away under Unsworth...
