Jay Bird who came on for Exeter played for Arbroath before. He was well loved here. Grin

As a little aside. Was the closest to Gayfield I've been for a while. Went for the scenic route home from blood tests at the hospital today.

Adding a pic but I know it might not show straight away with new MN settings. You even get a little hint of the utter chaos with roadworks in town right now too LOL.

Not football related,I used to go to Northern soul all nighters along the road Smokie's nightclub.. I've never forgotten the wind and cold coming off the North sea at 8am on a Saturday morning and that must be about 40years ago.🥶

@Youngheartsalittletogetherness - Smokies became Bally's which was my haunt back in the day. Used to take my heels off and walk along the beach at 2am walking home afterwards. 🙈🤣 It's now our only cinema in town, has been for a good few years now. The main dancefloor now has rows of sofas across it.

Was extremely odd at first watching Frozen with my DC and then taking them to the bathroom knowing some of what I got up to there back in the day. 😇🤣

Welcome to the 2 goalies on the subs bench teams....

Gladbach are currently in that club

MaybeNotBob · 12/02/2025 12:49

I suspect we're going to see Max Dowman on the bench soon...

I just read that he has to be 16, so we won't see him for another year as he has only just turned 15.

I just hope he doesn't go to United like Obi and Heaven.

MaybeNotBob · 12/02/2025 16:24

Nwaneri played when he was 15? And Cesc.

Yes, that is a good point. Not sure what I was reading last night then.

There really isn't. If it goes to America, you can guarantee it'll be a PPV arrangement like the boxing too. £30 or something to watch at home

Brefugee · 12/02/2025 20:56

That will be another competition for me to boycott (along with the World Cup)

burblish · 12/02/2025 21:36

So two Everton players run into each other headfirst when Liverpool were on the attack and go down in the fourth minute of five added on, the ref adds on endless time as a result and then Everton score after fouling a Liverpool player in the box. I have to admit I will be salty for a while over this one - but a fitting match for the last Merseyside Derby at Goodison and send off for a fine old stadium, and quite a spectacle for the neutrals.

Brilliant.

But why did Dacoure get a red when the other guy attacked him?

A begrudging well done to Everton 😭😆

MaybeNotBob · 12/02/2025 21:41

Ha ha! That was fun!

Obviously Oliver wasn't penalising players in quite the same way he would have done had they been Arsenal, but I'm glad Everton got that at the end.

DuncinToffee · 12/02/2025 21:52

Slot got red carded too 😂

Liverpools rusty spot has come a bit early for my liking, I’d have preferred it in a few weeks time! Great match for a neutral though.

VVD out to do the interviews as he seems to be the only one in the Liverpool dressing room not going "eh, eh, let me at 'em"!

LetsGoFlyAKiteee · 12/02/2025 22:09

Still be surprised if they don't see this through to the end but looking little shakey now then was few weeks ago.

DuncinToffee · 12/02/2025 22:17

Proper old fashioned derby ending with emotions running high

It's funny to hear VVD complaining about the ref

Absolutely Top trolling from Everon with their matchday programme today!

We used to sing 'the best little Spaniard we know'

He broke my DS' heart when he went to Arsenal, he couldn't understand why anyone would leave Everton, bless his then little socks Grin

Michael Oliver is by far the worst referee in the PL.

He and Kavanagh need go back to Saudi and stay there.
