There were lots of Catholics supporting Everton because Liverpool had a large Irish Catholic population. In the same way, Liverpool had lots of Catholics supporting Liverpool because Liverpool had a large Irish Catholic population. If it held any truth at all then the signing of Kenny Dalglish and the subsequent Liverpool-Celtic ties would have ended it anyway. For most of their history Bradford didn't wear green either so that's a somewhat irrelevant point as well. Either way, the tear stained drunk who used to populate this board with his endless sobbing was a proud Everton fan, alongside a devotion to the Seahawks and a furious bias towards Bradford Bulls.

People like you may 'see' what they want but its not real. It's a perception people have but I've never seen any evidence produced in support of it. I've read previously the origin might be the number of Irish Catholic players Everton had in the 1950's. However it still can be true people were drawn to Everton because they perceived them to be the Catholic club. I was born to run a club like this. Number 1, I do not spook easily, and those who think I do, are wasting their time, with their surprise attacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 I don't take Gledhill seriously as a journalist but he's obviously a big fan of the Bulls and I don't like to see players taking the p*** out of their own fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This Sporting Strife Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 I like the game caller. A lot of people do. His filmed podcasts are very funny and thoughtful. He's a colourful entertainer and an excellent commentator in the mould of Eddie Waring. He should be on sky or premier sports. The Steve Crossley thing was just a joke. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
