    After watching all the ex players, his family, the mascots in all the kits he played in, the welsh anthem, the images on screen........I couldn't care less about yesterdays result.

    well I do. You see if gary speed was supposed to be an evertonian,  he would want us to do well and win, not lose to stoke! so in many ways playing the way they did, the teams efforts, moyes tactics etc. in many ways have let him down

    i understand why we did,what we did yesterday,but watching his wife sitting there watching a leeds game and yes his poor dad watching everton,i understand the clubs can do all they possibly can,but if that was me, i would thank everyone then politely decline an invitation to sit there in my grief amd watch 22 fellas kicking a ball about after such an awful family tragedy,watching his dad in bits yesterday just made me so sad for him...and realise how futile the result for him must be


    a question with regards all tragedies...what happens to all the shirts, hung on statues, walls railings, gates,once the clear away operation begins ???
    always wondered this !!

    Not sure if anyone who was at the game would agree with this, but the atmosphere, although it's not been good for a long time, seemed particularly quiet yesterday. Like nobody was really all that fussed about the football? Like the sudden realisation that in comparison to human life, it's not important. Sat there yesterday while the Welsh anthem played, the realisation that Gary was no longer with us really did hit me. I wasn't quite in tears but I was fighting them hard. Just an observation of mine, but I soon realised actually I wasn't that interested in the game, what was more important to me was celebrating Gary's life and seeing his family and former teammates there was something quite special.

    I think the athmosphere has more to do with David Moyes than Gary Speed. It has become so boring watching us. So miserable. I just wish Moyes would go and be replaced with ANYONE.

    If Speed was looking down on Sunday, I really don’t think the score in the Everton game was high on his list of priorities.

    Yeah I’ve wonder that too…but I guess it’s a form of escapism…..even if only for a few hours they can get out of the house and talk to some friendly faces….
