Won't be giving them any time any more.

Article today about " Is Liverpool still left wing"

Basically , among the article there are several attempts to slur EFC and their fans.

Cant link, but you can usually get it for free.

Obviously written by a disgruntled kopite after yesterdays game at Wembley.

No worries lid. Everton need to start calling this shit out. I don't think it'll happen like. Well not unless profit is threatened.

Luis Suarez racially abused Pateice Evra, and their entire club came out to support his position.

The relevant section....

"On Saturday, a crowd gathered outside the Richmond Hotel on Hatton Gardens to demonstrate against the hotel being used to house asylum seekers. Searchlight, the monthly anti-fascist magazine and organisation, described the protesters as “known supporters of the banned Ulster Defence Association, former members of the terrorist National Action and ex-members of the British National Party.” No doubt this will have included people from outside Liverpool or its city region, with Searchlight claiming some had journeyed from Manchester, Leeds, Hull and Stoke. But Mark Scholl, a senior researcher for the magazine who was present at the counter-protest, reported around 30 Everton fans standing with the far-right.

For blues fans, this will be an uncomfortable reminder of when the club had a reputation for racism. Although Cliff Marshall, long regarded as Everton’s first black player in 1975, has since rejected that Everton was a racist club, in 2020 he told The Athletic he’d experienced “my own supporters chanting about my colour and making monkey noises”. Infamously, in 1988, Everton fans threw bananas at black Liverpool forward John Barnes. As late as 2000, university researchers found Everton topped a league table for making the largest number of racist comments heard, worse than any club in England or Scotland."

Also, I may not be remembering this correctly, but weren't Liverpool fans also doing things during Barnes' debut at Highbury. It was all wrong and elements of our support were terrible during the 70s and 80s, but it sometimes appears to be a bit selective in how these things are reported.

They’ll have pictures of these thirty or so scumbags then.

Obviously.

Can’t have any positive stuff emerging in the press about Everton, an we?

Tremendous new ground you say? We’ll let me stop you there…

Remember when Liverpool’s community support group (quite rightly) got praised for the work they did by Jezza? EITC didn’t get a mention (despite being at the forefront of this kind of thing).

And yes, lods - John Barnes was the victim of disgusting racism from Everton fans…several months after his own fans had done the same thing. You can guess which event got the negative press (as it should - but the ignorance of previous behaviour may as well have been a “play on” to those responsible).

Christ.

Imagine if we actually get successful.

"Around 30 Everton fans standing with the far right" utter bollocks, apart from the fact that would comprise about 1/3 of that side of the protest,how does he arrive at his number? Did he stroll over and do a poll of football allegiance?
Also as embarrassing as the picture of the dickhead in the wacky tracky was,he could simply have been en route to BMD as Hatton Garden was part of the walking route on Google maps.

I reckon if the far right pulled up outside any pub that had a large number of match day fans drinking in, a number would go outside and join in for a bit.

It's probably true that there was a group of everton fans who saw it and joined in. Identifiable in some way by their colours. It's not unique to us but ignoring it isn't going to help.

Yeah, they did throw bananas at Barnes at Highbury, I think it was his debut for them. But that's brushed under the carpet.

He’s also never condemned Everton fans directly. Said if he signed for us he would have got the same treatment at Anfield at the time. It was a city wide problem that has been swept under the carpet and/or pinned on us solely.

That's so fucking one sided.

At least we own up to our past. It was shit but you can't make it right without first admitting you are wrong.

A lesson those red twats would do well to heed.

How can you tell if someone is a Kopite? If the hat, scarf, T shirt or tattoo isn't enough of a clue, they will have told you within two sentences. Basically, it's a cult.

It was bad all around.

"Barnes had signed for Liverpool in the summer of 1987, but newspaper reports had linked him instead with a move to Arsenal, who did not end up making an offer. It meant he was not exactly welcomed with open arms at Anfield, where racist slogans promoting the National Front were daubed on the walls of the stadium’s car park to greet him.
In his 1999 autobiography, Barnes remembers other messages like “White Power”, “No Wogs Allowed” and “Liverpool are White.” He says he expected it, partly because some people thought Liverpool was his second choice, but also because of the history of the city, which had grown powerful through the slave trade."

Immediately after signing, Barnes received hate mail at the Moat House, and he’d sometimes spend his evenings reading the letters. One read: “You are c**p, go back to Africa and swing from the trees.”
Barnes’ response was to laugh at the grammar and pass the letters around to his team-mates, “imagining the pathetic types of people who’d written them”. He would learn later that these were only a small percentage of the racist letters written about him. His new club received many more but opted not to make him aware of them, worrying they would upset him. "

Athletic on Barnes

What’s that got to do with Everton.

Is it they are all super left wing good guys, the majority of their fan base won’t be, and we are nasty racists.

If I subscribed to the Post, I would certainly be unsubscribing with immediate effect.

It's about time Evertonians stood up to journalists riding roughshod over us, without consequence.

I urge all to cite this particular article, and this particular 'journalist' as your reason for ditching this internet newspaper.

I unsubscribed as well. They did some good work for a while but perhaps inevitably they've gone 'to market' in terms of chasing clicks, which was the demise of local media in the first place.

I'm not expecting one,as my email was clear, concise,non abusive, making a point that their reporting was clearly partial.As such it was no better than the abysmal Echo.
Asked,how did their 'reporter' (who mis reported the location as Hatton 'Gardens')
Arrive at the figure of 'around' 30 Everton fans.
Had they questioned the protesters as to their football allegiance? If so what was the allegiance of other protesters?
Clearly a complete fabrication,not expecting a response.
