Everton fans implicated in fracas at Kings Cross

No matter if they are blues or not, I just can’t be arsed with knobhead behaviour, enough shit in life without a football match turning into some other reason for bellends to cause trouble.

Nobody is slamming our own fans, but basically I’m not blind to the fact that, like every club out there, we have a knobhead minority that latch on to our club and pretend to support but really just find it as an excuse to arrange "punch-ups" with rival supporter clubs via the internet, that is how it would explain these people knowing Newcastle and Hull fans are in that vicinity.

As I say it’s not just our club, it’s every club and really it’s nothing to do with football but a problem in society.

Sadly there’s still an awful lot of bells on the streets.

So much misinformation about - so many in the media are looking for an easy story and have their own agenda...wait and see.

However, my point was how does a national newspaper report something based on a fucking twitter account and an interview with a landlord who wishes to stay anonymous (hmmm, what’s that above the door of that pub?)

This was the same newspaper group that in my mind shouldn’t be in existence. They should’ve been sued to oblivion after causing the collapse of the Leeds players’ trial – costing the taxpayer upwards of £6m in the process.

Anyway, like their baby sister they follow the formula. RS are great. Evertonians should be grateful (to BK) etc.

But I’ve just read the Mirror on the internet and one eye witness is reported as saying "this gang attacked...they were all wearing black and had hoodies and scarves over their faces" so how someone has deduced they are Everton fans, I’m not sure.

If they were, then I can’t understand why they were reputedly attacking innocent bystanders rather than the supposed targets of NUFC and Hull fans.

Like Matt says, the Mirror seems to take a delight at belittling Everton whenever it can... if it bothers to have an article about us at all., The Daily Mirror may as well be called The Daily Kop., with "King friggin Kenny" Brian "I really am an objective reporter" Reade and arselicker extrordinaire Dave Maddocks.

As it’s the only paper supporting Labour I’ve felt duty bound to buy it but for, at least, this last 12 months, I may as well have bought the R/S programme...so I’m boycotting it; and the Echo.

These blokes are scum and I’d like to see them serve time, regardless of which team they support.

They are indeed scum...wherever they come from.

Not really, Nicholas, if they had Cornish, Kentish, Devon etc. addresses they will almost certainly be Koppites.
Someone posted a link on here after the Sunderland game in which Sunderland supporters heaped praise on Blues fans for being down to earth, good football supporters, unlike the Rs or Newcastle fans. Maybe a Skunk read that and wants to redress the balance....

This is an embarrassment for our club. I hope they throw the book at them.

The young hood-rats probably were quicker...

After the game, we arrived back at Kings Cross at around 5:30 and went for a drink in the Euston Flyer on Euston Road where there were a number of Everton fans in having a drink and just talking or watching the Redshite on the tellies. After having a pint, we went to an off licence on the same road towards Kings Cross to get some ale for the train journey home. At no time did I see any gangs or any signs of trouble along this road, as alleged in some papers: Everton fans fighting on Euston Road, at what would have been roughly the time we were there. Surely we would have seen or heard something if that was the case?

Also, there were police walking about normally on the same road at this time just going about their normal duties. I can’t see why any Everton fans would have been near that bar at that time when the vast majority would have been going back to Euston at some distance away. I could well be wrong but seems a bit odd unless some kind of arrangement was set up cos, it being the nearest pub to Kings Cross, there was obviously going to be a good number of Hull and Newcastle fans in there; however, there were 3 arrests so their addresses would be known and shed some more light on who they were.

But if you are walking back from the Flying Scotsman to Euston for the train back home, you wouldn’t walk past the pub that this incident occurred at.
