"It's a Grand Old Team" at Goodison yesterday

[scouseblue 145]

I honestly think in my experience it's difficult to judge in liverpool as a city plenty of both religion supporting both sides .

I can say in recent years through players and managers an awful lot more evertonian have felt an affinity with Rangers whilst Liverpool seems to have grown closer to liverpool with YNWA & champions league matches and the like .

Personally with my families origins and history of military service I'm an evertonian but will always do my best to follow Rangers as well especially through the difficult times you've experienced in the last few years when every rat in the world seemed eager to put the boot in .

The city of liverpool has plenty of people with good sense enough to know that one side in the city of Glasgow doesn't just have on field success but also pride , dignity and class .

Think Liverpool would be (generally) more aligned with us, while Everton would be (generally) more on the other side.

Knew guys who (when football was more organised on the home one week, away the next) would go to Anfield one week & Ibrox the next.

Lines maybe got blurred a bit with YNWA suggesting connections with 'Pool & the Scum, while there's been an active two way trade in players between us & Everton.

Never met a Toffees fan yet who hasn't 'thanked' me for letting them have Big Dunc!

Trevor Stevens

Gary Steven

Probably two of the finest players to grace Ibrox

Both signed from Everton

I heard a story there is a small chapel within Goodison.... Is this true?

Something fishy about the poster in the OP tbh.

Bang on about those two!

Had heard similar re chapel.

A quick Google reveals that St Luke's church is part of the ground, but is in fact Anglican.

Further, it seems that the club grew out of a connection with St Domingo's church, which was Methodist!

[mrmojorisin 13,620]

Stdimgos? To they do pizza?

[scouseblue 145]

Yeah st Luke's at the corner of main stand and gwladys is Anglican and st Domingo fc were Methodist with one of the reasons liverpool were formed a row over drink .

Historically liverpool & everton aren't split simply on religious grounds .

For some reason I find this video funny as fuck, simply because of the annotations.

"I DONT PLAY 4 EVERTON"

"I DONT PLAY FOR THE MIGHTY BLUES"

I've got family down there, and there isn't a 'catholic' or 'Protestant' club.

The just support their football team, without brining religion into it. Shocking, I know.

[King Jela 20,364]

Is this a joke ? Everton have always sung that.

[King Jela 20,364]

Wouldn't say Liverpool are a tim team after hearing this..

Them and Liverpool are like brothers.

[Brackley 1,401]

I seem to remember we used to sing that back in the late 60's early 70's. With different words of course.

Liverpool were founded by a member of the Orange Order iirc

I might be mistaken but I thought Liverpool had one of the largest Orange Order followings in Britain.

[scousefc 14]

Everton are tarrier bastards,Liverpool are a protestant club.

Religion is an issue in Glasgow. Nobody in the rest of the country supports football on this basis. No club in England is sectarian, which is disappointing to some of you but there you go. We support Everton because we support Everton. Presumably, the Kopites support Liverpool because they support Liverpool. Bigotry is here in Liverpool but it does not exist at the match. HTH

[GMac 1,405]

Liverpool were founded by an Orangeman. Sectarianism at the time was rife in liverpool at the time, worse than anywhere in Britain. Dont think its so important now.

[.Williamson. 82,305]

I like Everton and they've always sang that

[harlands plater 16,987]

Most of the Scousers I have met have been bead-rattling Evertonians.

Still an Orange presence in Liverpool and many I'd suspect are Liverpool fans so to call them "tarriers" is a ridiculous statement

[muldoon1690 151]

Every time Liverpool are on the telly and it cuts to the fans, there's always a couple with the half and half scarfs and it's always ceptic ones!! Taigs for me I'm afraid!!
