The Chaplain Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 (edited) Brilliant final sentence from the Independent report on the match: It is not all bad news for the Goodison faithful though, the Blue Dragon is open again for business following the fire brigade visit that delayed the kickoff for half an hour. Only Everton got their finger burned. Edited January 6, 2008 by The Chaplain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chamberssmc Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 The newspapers have had an absolute field day with us today, with the chip shop fire and McDonald scoring.

boundaryblue80 Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 After the bad press in 2007 with a certain signing, I'm glad our reputation nationally has improved significantly in 2008 with 2 outstanding results. Long may it continue! We've had as many plaudits, if not more, in the last 24hrs than we have had wishing we get beat every week for signing a certain someone. Very, very, very nice to see!

Diego_Sideburns Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 The Daily Mail report includes this: A pre-match blaze at the Goodison Road Supper Bar inconvenienced all and sundry by delaying kick-off by 30 minutes. But nobody was more put out than Sheridan. Spotting its proximity to the main entrance when Oldham's team bus pulled into Goodison Park, the former Leeds and Sheffield Wednesday midfielder promised his players fish and chips all round if they made it into the last 32. With their win bonus fixed at £75 a man, the scenes of elation at the end of a deserved win could only be taken as evidence that Reading's Dave Kitson was not expressing a majority view when he derided football's oldest prize as an unwanted distraction. It clearly meant everything to Sheridan and his players as they claimed the biggest scalp of the day, then stayed true to their humble roots in a way that reflected the Cup's enduring appeal. Sheridan volleyed a Wembley winner for Ron Atkinson's Sheffield Wednesday in a League Cup Final against Manchester United 17 years ago. But nothing could compare with seeing Gary McDonald's looping 45th-minute strike and then surviving a late onslaught that culminated in substitute Aiyegbeni Yakubu hitting the post deep in injury time. When the final whistle sounded, the entire away bench joined Oldham's players to head across the pitch and share the moment with 6,000 travelling fans. When they finally returned, they exchanged more clenched-fist victory salutes with Oldham officials still spread across the front two rows of an otherwise deserted directors' box. All for an extra £75 and a free fish supper, providing a chippy in working order could be located.

The Chaplain Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Monday's Independent has a great article by David Instone and a good big picture across pages 56-57. Here's a taste: "Surely Oldham, 13th in League 1, could only have pulled off this remarkable seventh successive away victory with their goalkeeper performing heroics? Not a bit of it. Assured and calming though he was under spells of pressure, Crossley was seldom troubled following a fine save from James Vaughan during an initial onslaught in which he feared 'a bit of a tousing'. "He was rescued by a goal-line clearance from Kelvin Lomax - one of the team barely out of nappies when Gary Lineker's penalty was famously saved in the 1991 final - and by his post from Aiyegbeni Yakubu's toe-poke in the last seconds. "But Stefan Stam and Reuben Hazell, in particular, protected him magnificently either side of Gary McDonald's spectacular first-half stoppage-time exploitation of a much less convincing performance at the other end by Stefan Wessels. ... "By choice or necessity there were no Howard, Neville, Yobo, Arteta, Cahill, Osman, and until much later, Lescott and Yakubu. What no one should overlook, though, are the selection problems Oldham conquered in sending 6,000 fans delirious by reaching the fourth round for only the second time in 12 years. ... "Andy Johnson was subdued too easily by Oldham's outstanding defence. ... "For John Sheridan a magical managerial memory to go somewhere near his playing peak - scoring Sheffield Wednesday's winner in the 1991 League Cup Final against Manchester United."

Diego_Sideburns Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 The Liverpool Daily Post explains the enormity of the result in statistical terms: For all their successes in the competition, Everton have had their fair share of FA Cup humiliations at Goodison Park in recent years. There was the 4-1 thrashing at the same third round stage to Blackburn Rovers just 12 months ago, the 3-0 capitulation to neighbours Tranmere in 2001, the 3-2 loss to Bradford City in 1997 when Chris Waddle lobbed an ageing Neville Southall from fully 45 yards out and even the 2-2 draw with Stockport a year before that – Everton’s first game defending the trophy they’d won by beating Manchester United the previous May. But just when was the last time Everton were beaten at home in an FA Cup tie by a team two divisions below them? Certainly not in Post-War football according to Everton’s ‘Ultimate Book of Stats and Facts.’ Defeats to Third Division (now League One) Bradford City in 1960 and a Conference-bound League Two Shrewsbury in 2003 in Moyes’s first FA Cup tie in charge at Everton both came away from home. When Everton last lost at home to a team more than one division below them in an FA Cup tie it was the year Britain signed the Entente Cordiale with France, work began on the Panama Canal, Theodore Roosevelt was elected US President, Buffalo Bill performed in Horsham, Sussex, the third modern Olympics were held in St Louis and football’s world governing body FIFA was formed. The year was 1904 and the then Southern League Tottenham Hotspur triumphed 2-1 at Goodison Park on February 6. In terms of quality of opposition, Saturday’s loss to Oldham was Everton worst home result in the FA Cup for 104 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
