Dalziel Kane Posted April 13, 2013 Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 I'd appreciate if the direct above could be removed. Go to a lot of time and effort and today was a special day for results and statistics and now people can't even read it, due to the above nonsense. Don't get me wrong, think you do some great illustrations and things, but need to understand there's some areas where it's really not applicable. Two of the biggest games in the last 40 years occured today and just been trivialized a little. No sense in getting upset but you can understand the situation.

Dalziel Kane Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 There's no sense in arguing Todays Birthdays James McFadden - two spells, recognized figure, seemed to impress more at International, than club level, seems to have been around for ages - 30 Years Old Today Roy Vernon - late, forward of the Catterick tenure who won a league championship medal in 1963 and scored a lot of important goals. Not quite of legendary status, but for sure one of the most important names of club history - would have been 76 Years Old Today On This Day 2012 - The second half capitulation or surrender to Liverpool in the FA cup semi-final, We lost 1 - 2. Still painful to some 2001 - a 1 - 2 loss at Aston Villa in the EPL 1995 - a 2 - 0 home win over Newcastle in the League, only a short time after the FA cup sixth round win over the same opposition at the same venue 1990 - a 2 - 2 draw at Luton Town in the first division. They were always difficult opposition for anyone at Kenilworth Road once upon a time 1984 - Adrian Heath in extra time scores the goal that beats Southampton and takes the club to the FA cup Final. We won 1- 0 at Highbury 1973 - a 2 - 4 loss at Wolverhampton in the league. They did have a very decent side at the time 1962 - a 3 - 0 win over West Ham in the league. Home game 1956 - a 1 - 6 loss at Chelsea in the league. They were league champions at the time, but still an embarrassment 1951 - a 0 - 4 loss at Sunderland in the league Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to lighten up mate and get used to a little banter and leg pulling. A while back, (If I remember) I felt for you a little, as you were doing your stats, and nobody was taking the slightest bit of notice, so being a nice guy I offered you the opportunity to post the same on my forums to give you an extra outlet for your interest, and you arrogantly declined, telling me that "Not much was happening there" lol. Well, not much is happening in this thread either, but at least I 'tried' to offer you a little support, as I also did when defending you against the 'head patting' comments. You just don't realise who your allies are sometimes mate. Try having a laugh now and then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalziel Kane Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 I've been here long enough to recognize who's who and what their feelings are, I'm hardly oblivious to what goes on. I don't ask for no plaudits in this. I don't expect people to faint or offer congratulations. This isn't about laughs or humor, this isn't a fucking comedy corner, just plain simple statistics that some will appreciate and some acknowledgment to past events. As someone stated before, you try to be decent and accomodating, but come across awkward and belligerent sometimes, or just making a situation worse, although maybe it's not always intentional. About why this thread was even started in the first place being one such example. That's the last on this issue but it had to be mentioned. Yet again, todays statistics and past events have been put on the back seat or taken a rear position to something else that shouldn't have arisen. It is a pity. That's the last on this for today.

The short lived Mickael Madar got us the draw. 1992 - a 1 - 0 away win at Highfield Road with Coventry City in the last season of the old first division 1987 - a 1 - 0 win at Aston Villa in Birmingham in the first division. They would be relegated in a few short weeks 1981 - a 4 - 1 home win over Middlesbrough in the league 1938 - a 0 - 2 loss at Sunderland in the league Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted April 18, 2013 Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 Johnathan Morrissey - celebrated unit of the Catterick years and mostly recognized figure - 72 Years Old Today Great player....but he wasn't called "Johnathan," he was christened John and was known as Johnny (also there's no "h" after the "o" in the traditional spelling of Jonathan).

Formby Posted April 18, 2013 Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 (edited) 1977 - The loss in the second replay of the League Cup Final to Aston Villa in Manchester. After two drawn games, it went to a third tie, and we lost 2 - 3 in extra time after a marathon effort. Brain Little won it for them in the last minute of extra time after a defensive error. Terry Darracott still haunts me. Edited April 18, 2013 by formby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dalziel Kane Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 I'll just acknowledge him as something else next time if it's going to cause this level of dispute. To the above who was upset by the defensive error/ final defeat in 1977, it may be of some consolation that we beat them 4 - 1 in the FA cup the very next season and they had a player sent off and even beat them in the League Cup the following season (1977/78) but not 100 per cent on the latter. I'm not going to research to verify statistics. If it's wrong, it's wrong, may have been a year later, but the FA cup game is spot on. If already aware, then it's good enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Posted April 20, 2013 Report Share Posted April 20, 2013 (edited) Here we have a member trying to improve the forum and make it a better place to come, why do other members keep trying to ridicule him and make unneccessary comments whenever he posts. ?? He must spend a lot of time gathering in all the info, and even more time typing out the posts, why dont people stop trying to ruin it, and just appreciate that what he is doing is not only for the benefit of the forum, but for all the members also. Younger members will not worry unduly if its Jonathan, Jonny, or plain John, but the older members will know exactly who he is referring to, so there was no need for any comment. I used to call him Mogsey myself, one of the unsung heroes of our club. So carry on DK, i like the memories you bring back.

Simple:) . The minute I saw DK use the name 'johnathan' as in Morrissey, instead of as most who can remember or even care 'Johnny', I put it down to DK's traits. DK's a one off, sometimes rude, sometimes funny and sometimes from a different planet.Thing is he keeps posting, isn't that what keeps forums alive. There has to be a reason why a forum that on face value looks as good or better than any other Everton forum can't attract regular new posters.If you lost say five long term members this forum would probably dry up.I don't understand why people register then never post, or don't even register, but I would say that picking up on spelling mistakes or slightly wrong 'names' surely doesn't require a major piss take. I made a post way back about some kind of fact concerning Everton, relevent to this season.....just happened to miss the 'r' out of Everton!.......fuck me, no remarks about the relavent fact, instead it became a post about 'Eveton' (think it was the r I missed). Point is new posters are probably put off for fear of getting something wrong!! What a friggin shame. I personally think a moderator should set examples. Can any other member offer up reasons as to why this forum seems to attract such little new blood, I would have thought this really could be 'the' place for Evertonians. There are some very good members on here, they deserve more people to share their views with.There is certainly a place for people like DK, he's different, but aren't we all!

Avinalaff Posted April 20, 2013 Report Share Posted April 20, 2013 I think if DK quit with the self declared Everton Expert bollocks he'd get less stick. It has nothing at all to do with helping forums and everything to do with DK's need for recognition. That's why there is little interest in it, as folk aren't all naïve. The spelling thing has become a bit boring too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You (probably intentionally) miss my point completely. I agree with you that your spelling is dreadful ("surely" is spelt "surely"), but lots of people make grammatical mistakes (myself included), and I never say a word. DK corrects people, so I correct him....that's all. It's a one v one thing, don't see why people feel the need to get involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
