We could have presented our EDSA Player of the Year Trophy at Saint
George's Hall but opted to stick with tradition rather than change.
EDSA normally have their presentation on the pitch at the half way line
and had done so for the previous 12 seasons. However, even though we
have disabled places all around the ground we decided that on this occasion
we would hold it on the pitch at the Gwladys Street End in front of
EDSA's new disabled enclosure as this also gave us direct access on
to the pitch. It is also the general consensus that most Evertonians
are born and christened in the Street End and therefore, we knew that
they would give the winner of the EDSA Trophy a great reception. |
Please
see below the speech that should have been read out over the tannoy
system at Goodison Park by EFC's Public Announcer. |

| Congratulations to Gordon on reaching this milestone. He was a great goalkeeper in the 60's & 70's for Everton and is a great ambassador for the club now. He has helped Blue Kipper over the years by attending various functions and always tells some great tales of his time with Everton. All the best Gordon from all at Blue Kipper. (24/04/08) |

If anyone Toffeemen live in the Stalybridge area are doing nothing this Sunday Dinner Time, why don't you get down to Armdale Road, Staylbridge, to cheer on Blue Kipper FC who are competing in a Cup Semi Final against Stalybridge Celtic Supporters. Ped and the boys are flying high this season, and are on course for the League and Cup double. They lie five points behind Morecambe but have five games in hand on them in the League, and and are competing in the Cup this weekend. In the scheme of things it will be a hollow set of trophies if they pull it off, as they can't even beat the Real Bluekipper, after we took them to the cleaners back in February. Joking apart chaps, best of luck and lets see some silverware in a few weeks time. (11/04/08) |

Our friends at Sky have been up to their old tricks again, this time moving our away match at The Arse from Saturday 3rd May to Sunday 4th May (1:30pm kick off). If you have made travel plans, booked hotels, sorted trains, planes or automobiles, Sky have said tough titty, as they really don't give a shit about the fans, and in fairness they did give us three weeks notice. Is it worth £30m big ones a year, and hands in the bucket to go back to the good old days, yer know Saturday 3pm, those were the days. (10/04/08) |

Everton have been fined £2,500 by UEFA after fans invaded the pitch at the away game against SK Brann, while their Norwegian opponents have been fined £7,500. (21/03/08) UEFA are to investigate the peaceful pitch invasion by Blues fans at the end of Everton's two nil away win in Brann recently. More sinister however is the billiard ball thrown from the Brann end at Blue's keeper Tim Howard during the match which will also come under UEFA's spotlight. Whilst they are meeting can they ask about shitty ticket allocations, as with the Blues receiving a 1000 or so tickets, empty spaces were seen around the ground, as no doubt more Blues would have travelled to see the boys play. UEFA Spokesman says: "Evidence referring to pitch invasions by spectators and the throwing of missiles has been submitted to the UEFA Control and Disciplinary Body, which will decide on the matter at its next meeting on Thursday 20 March".

Big apologies to the 13,000 members on our Blue Kipper Message Board which has been down for several days now. We have been working feverishly in the background with our Message Board server which is situated on the Island of Papua New Guinea. Apparently the electricity has gone down there, as someone put Horlicks in the donkeys feed, and the poor animals refuse to run the generators any more. Hoogie and his team are working round the clock to get the Board back up, so please bear with us. (04/03/08) |

The mercurial talent that is Paul Gascoigne was sectioned under the Mental Health Act on Thursday after some antics in a hotel in Newcastle. Gazza was at the Blues for a few years back at the turn of the decade, when he was signed by his friend and our then Manager Walter Smith. Although we never saw Gazza at his peak in a Blue shirt, we were certainly entertained by him whilst he was at Goodison. Everton Chairman Bill Kenwright has sent Paul a get well message, and Bluekipper would like to endorse his comments, as we wish Paul all the best and a speedy recovery from his well documented problems. Blue
Bill says: "He can definitely get his life back together.
He has tried many times, been in and out of clinics. His is a big big
problem, but as I said he is on the mend, and I am sure he is going
to be okay. I am not saying what he is addicted to. "You can be
addicted to many things. He is bi-polar, which is a new expression these
days – you have the highest of the highs and the lowest of the lows.
When you are low you don't want to get up in the morning and pull the
sheets over your head and want to stay there. When you are high you
can beat the world. And probably when Gazza is high he loses whatever
he has got. He is just loved. I have been to places with him when has
been a good boy and the love affair he has got with the British public.
You can't earn that." (22/02/08) |

Andy Gray was on Merseyside last night to pick up the Dixie Dean Award at the Annual Echo Awards Night. The award was presented by ex Everton Player and Manager and last years recipient Joe Royle. Andy talking later in the evening said his time at Goodison was the best of his career, and when he goes to his grave it will be with that magical night against Bayern Munich in 1985 in his mind. Andy says: "My time at Everton was, without doubt, the most successful, and probably the happiest couple of years that I’ve had. I don’t think anyone thought that lay ahead when I turned up in the November. We had a brilliant couple of years, brilliant team-mates, fabulous friends, great togetherness and a huge desire to succeed, so if you put all that together we did okay! If I go to
my grave with one game (Bayern Munich) in my mind, and only one I can
take with me, then it would definitely be that one." (05/02/08) |

Bloomin' marvellous, but I suppose with the Blues breaking in to the Top Four, we have at last pricked Sky TV's attention. So much so that three of our five Premiership games in March have been switched to a Sunday to accommodate the TV masses. They are Pompey at home now on Sunday March 2nd (4pm) and Fulham away will now be on Sunday March 16th (1:30pm). The shite match in late March is provisionally booked in for Sunday March 30th (4pm). It is provisional because if the shite are still in the Champions League come then, it will be put back to the Saturday. On that note book the Monday off as the game will definitely be on the Sunday. Joggers Wife says: "I won't be making any roasts in March then will I. See you on Monday morning, you Carling freak." (26/01/08) |

Bluekipper send our best wishes to our Greatest Ever Manager Howard Kendall who has broken his ankle, and is recovering at home.

God love the Fat Spanish Waiter. Not content with his bosses trying to replace him with Jurgen the German and his team hitting the buffers of late. Now fellow Premiership Manager Arsene Wenger is telling us what we always knew that Analfield is not a patch on Goodison when it comes to serving up an atmosphere. In fairness to the shite fans, it must be hard trying to sing songs when there are about eight different languages trying to sing them. The Arse From Arse says: "Liverpool (the shite) is the same kind of support but Everton is a bit more aggressive because Everton is up at the moment. Over the last one or two years, especially, it has been one of the noisiest grounds and has a great atmosphere. Liverpool (the shite) is the same but now a little bit more genteel." (15/01/08) |

Apologies that you have all been looking at the same Bluekipper screen for the last few days, but it has been for reasons out of our control. The spin is server issues involving server maintenance, blah, blah, blah technical doo daa. Off the record but don't tell anyone, Sausage whilst hoovering in one hand and the obligatory can of Stella in his other hand wellied into our Bluekipper box of tricks with his Dyson. His hair made him lose balance, and his half can of Stella came crashing down onto the said box of tricks, sending sparks and smoke everywhere. He has been duly punished with his beers from around the world collection took off him, barred from the pallets in the BK Lounge for the foreseeable future, and given forty lashes across his buttocks with a piece of soil pipe. Apologies to all again, but we are now back in business. (04/12/07) |

The amazing story of Merseyside’s greatest sporting icon Dixie Dean is coming live to the stage for the first time in 2008 to crown a double celebration. Midway through Liverpool’s European Capital of Culture year the curtain will go up on a special theatrical production of the legendary Everton and England centre forward’s life and career. Staged to herald the 80th anniversary of Dixie’s fantastic, unassailable record of 60 League goals in a season, the show will climax a series of community-wide events in salute of the man who took the scoring art to new heights. The Dixie Dean Story will have a three-performance run at Liverpool Olympia Theatre in May 2008. Produced by Aintree-based theatre company Arts2u Limited, under the direction of Gillian Beattie, the show will feature digital technology and music with a script written by author and broadcaster John Keith, who wrote Dixie’s biography. Actors will portray Dixie at various stages of his life, Keith will narrate the story and there will be guest appearances by Everton stars in a long-awaited stage tribute to the legend who was born William Ralph Dean in Birkenhead in 1907. Sponsorship packages for the show can now be booked, but they are set to be snapped up so move quickly by contacting Arts2u on 0151 284 7067, 07702 809 751, email gill.beattie@arts2ulimited.com or visit the website at www.arts2ulimited.com The build-up to the anniversary weekend of his 60-goal record, which Dixie completed with a hat trick against Arsenal on May 5, 1928, will embrace the community. Arts2u, in
conjunction with Everton FC Shareholders Association, will be outreaching
schools and youth groups throughout Merseyside for football training with
professional players, poetry and art competitions, culminating with an
awards presentation on Dixie anniversary day, May 5, 2008. For further details of tickets and sponsorship contact call Arts2u Limited on 0151 284 7067, 07702 809 751 or email gill.beattie@arts2ulimited.com (17/11/07) |

Apparently Mark Clattenburg will not be refereeing in the Premiership this weekend, but as he is on duty in Europe during the week, this was going to happen anyway, so he's a petition for you all to sign. (22/10/07) |
 |
|
Graham Poll has come to Everton's aid and backed Moyesy's shout that Mark CLOTTenburg made a pigs ear of every major decision in Saturdays Derby defeat. Well thanks Graham, any more advice for Mr. CLOTTenburg, like save it for your book, like you did you hypocritical charlatan. Wasn't it the very same Mr. Poll who disallowed a last minute Don Hutchinson winner many moons ago in a Derby. Said nothing, like they all do at the time, but when the book came out, said he messed up and the Blues should have won. Graham, go back under your rock with Clive Thomas, and take CLOTTenburg with you. Knob Jockey Poll says: "Mark Clattenburg has the best natural refereeing style, but needs to learn from this performance. He was right to award a penalty for Tony Hibbert's foul on Steven Gerrard, but then initially took out a yellow card. It was changed to red, apparently only after comments by Gerrard. That was poor technique. Dirk Kuyt should have had a red too for his high challenge on Phil Neville. Then Everton ought to have had a penalty when Jamie Carragher fouled Joleon Lescott. The referee took up an excellent position, but still did not award the kick. How he reacts to this display will show us if he has what it takes to establish himself as No 1." (22/10/07) |

Everton will make the scary trip to face Luton at Kenilworth Road for the last 16 clash in the Carling Cup, on Wednesday 31st October, with a 7:45pm kick off. Fans wanting to travel to Bedfordshire, will need to bring to the Goodison Box Office to secure a ticket, a pumpkin, a trick or treat bag full of goodies, and a barrel full of apples.

The final table is below and if Everton would have got the rub of the green, fourth place would have been secured. (23/06/08) The
Right Result
concept was devised by people who’d had enough of seeing bad decisions
affect the outcome of football matches week in week out. Like many other
fans we don’t buy into the old “luck evens itself out over the course
of a season” line that gets offered up so often as if it makes everything
ok, because luck doesn’t do this and it isn’t ok! We wanted to see just
how different the league table would look if refs called it right more
often. As you can see Everton are above the redshite. (02/10/07)

Dave Watson Appeals To Evertonians To Join Him On A Trip Of A Lifetime
Dave Watson, ex-Everton is appealing for volunteers to take part in the PFA South Africa Challenge 2008 in aid of Children Today, a charity providing life-transforming equipment for children with disabilities. Dave is looking for six intrepid explorers to join his team and battle against the other teams each captained by a rival football legend. The teams will join in activities such as raft-racing, cycling, trekking and climbing in the Drakensburg Mountains of South Africa. The nine day adventure of a lifetime will also see fundraisers learn survival techniques, eat off the land, sleep under the stars, play football matches against local children and raise thousands of pounds to support the work of Children Today. Commenting on the challenge Dave said; “This will be a new experience for me, one that I’m really looking forward to and whilst I expect it to be hard work, it’s certain to be lots of fun and the most incredible experience. I’m now raring to get going and am looking for some committed Merseysiders to help us raise money for this fantastic cause, which makes a real difference to children with disability living in this area. “I need to sign up six team members for my team who can help us show the other teams the grit, determination and, of course, the sense of humour that Scousers are famous for. Anyone with a spirit of adventure and a moderate level of fitness can sign up so we’d urge all those who want to indulge their wanderlust and help a good cause to get in touch as soon as possible.”
The challenge takes place from 16th May to 25th May 2008 and is open to anyone aged eighteen or over – whether it’s individuals or company teams or groups. Each individual must pay a registration fee of £275 and raise a minimum sponsorship of £2,750. For further information about The PFA South Africa Challenge 2008, or to pledge your support, call 01244 335 622 (quote Blue Kipper) or visit www.childrentoday.org.uk The Team Captains are Bob Bolder, ex-Liverpool, Simon Garner, ex-Blackburn Rovers, Brian Kilcline, ex-Newcastle United, Lee Martin, ex-Manchester United, Peter Nicholson, ex-Bolton Wanderers, David Oldfield, ex-Manchester City and Dave Watson, ex-Everton.

Everton fell at the first hurdle tonight in Sky TV's revolutionary new football tournament, the Premiership All Stars. Ex players, celebrity fans and ordinary fans joined together as the Blues took on Manchester City and duly got dicked 3-0. Ex Blue favourites, Neville Southall, Inchy Heath and Waggy, joined Donny Tourette, Simon O'Brien, and Lee Latchford Evans on the tournaments opening night, along with three ordinary fans, including Bluekipper FC's Peter McPartland (Ped) and Dave Lyon (Bilo). £5,000 was raised for Everton's nominated charity, but Waggy who was promised by Bluekipper an assortment of cheeses from around the world if he lifted the trophy, will now not be getting our promised gift. Funny of the night though was Rodney Marsh getting short shrift and a kick on his shins from Waggy himself. Just for that we may send him a Mild Cheddar for his collection. (23/09/07) |

Although the bluekipper fraternity knew of Ped and Bilo's inclusion in the Everton Premiership All Stars side, their moment of fame came on Sky One on Sunday evening, when it was announced that they had made the grade to play with their hero's. What a fantastic feeling for the pair of them, but Ped no doubt caught Neil Warnocks eye, with some fantastic quotes from the show. Neil Warnock says: "I think that Pete needs to lose some weight." Losing Everton Fan To Warnock: "That's shit, I was the best player on the pitch by a mile. F**k off Warnock, no wonder your team got relegated last season." Quality stuff, and good luck to the lads. They will be joining, Big Nev, Waggy, Simon O'Brien to name but a few as Everton take on the rest of the Premiership next week. (16/09/07) Ped & bilo will be representing Everton when they play Man City on Sunday 23rd September 2007 in London. If you fancy going to support them you can get tickets by clicking on this link. Ticketmaster (19/08/07) Congratulations to Dave (bilo) and Ped from Blue Kipper FC, who have been selected to represent Everton at a 7-a-Side tournament shown live on Sky TV at the end of September.

Thanks to your votes Brendan won hands down. Dixie The Greatest Goal Scorer of all time, Moyesy Manager of The Year, Faddy's Goal of The Season, and Mikky's the Best Midfielder in the Country. Well played to you all, as these accolades are worthy, but bluekipper played its part when we asked you to vote and get all these Blues top spot. Now we ask you to vote for Everton Season Ticket Holder Brendan Grant who in his day used to be centre fire cracker for Marine (Merseyside's Second Club after the Blues). They are holding an online poll for their greatest ever striker, and BG as he is affectionately known would love you to vote for him as he is currently second behind some shite fan and ex player. Brendan was insistent that we put the photo up with Joe Parky and Waggy Watson, as he pays both of them large amounts of cash to say there his mate. Make an ex semi pro happy for a day or two and click here to vote if you have nothing else to do. (02/08/07) |

I’m contacting you from a television production company called North One where we are currently making Sky One’s new football show called Premiership All Stars. Put as simply as possible, the show is a week long 7-a-side football tournament that contains all 20 Premier League clubs. Each team will enter a squad of 10 players made up of 4 legends, 3 famous fans and 3 real fans and the whole thing is backed by the Premier League and all the Premier League clubs. Football legends definitely confirmed so far to play for the leagues various teams include Fabrizio Ravenelli, Paul Merson, Ray Wilkins and Ruud Gullit among many other legends yet to be confirmed. We are desperately looking for Everton fans that would like the chance to play alongside some genuine Everton legends. I’ve contacted Blue Kipper as I was hoping you would be able to help in spreading the word to as many Everton fans as possible. The tournament will be shown live on Sky over eight nights from Sept 23rd – Sept 30th this year. We want Everton fans to apply to play for Everton by emailing us at allstars@northonetv.com or by post to All Stars, North One TV, 46-52 Pentonville Road, London N1 9HF with a description of themselves, who their favourite legend is and why they should go through to represent Everton. The best entries will go forward to a trial on 4th or 5th August where the three lucky winners will be chosen to go forward to actually play for their chosen team. Apologies that time is short but we haven’t had the response from Everton fans we were expecting, so this is a real plea for fans to send in their applications as soon as possible to be in with a chance of playing in this tournament. There are different age groups, so even if you are over 35 and worry about fitness you don’t need to – personality is as important as football skills. Any help you can provide spreading the word would be gratefully appreciated and also on the plus side may help ensure that Everton have three fantastic fans taking part in this great competition!! Fans have until midnight on Wednesday 1st August 2007 to register their interest in supporting their club in the most active and involved way possible. allstars@northonetv.com (30/07/07) |

(14/06/07) Moyesy is next up for an award on a Sky Sports poll. He is up for 'manager of the Season.' So lets make it a treble for the Toffeemen after Faddy won goal of the season and Our Tater won midfielder of the year. Our spies say that Sky Sports can't believe what's going on. So lets make them believe. (13/06/07) |

Well played all you bluekipper devotee's, you have done it again. A week after Jimmy Mac won the Goal of the Season, Mikky Arteta has now won the Midfielder of the Season in a Sky Sports Poll. The Spaniard logged an amazing 55,000 votes (31%), which was more than 5,000 votes ahead of Ronaldo of manure. Stevie G laaaaaaaa of the shite came third. Mikky has won a ruck of award's this Season, following Everton's Players of the Year, and the big one, which is of course Bluekipper's balsa wood fish, presented to the Spaniard back in early May. Well played to all who logged on through bluekipper to vote for the Spanish magician. (13/06/07) In less than a day Evertonians have done it again. You have voted in your thousands and Mikel Arteta has jumped into the lead with 28% of the vote. Tell all your mates. Keep voting.

Graham 'Knob' Poll has finally owned up to messing up and costing Everton a Derby Double back in 2000. Don Hutchinson's goal was disallowed by Poll in the last minute for, well we never knew, as he never told us. Now having retired (thank God), Poll is at last admitting this and many other blunders. He must have a book to sell, well Knob Poll, you can stick it were the sun does not shine, and I don't mean Manchester. Good riddance you power crazed pest. Knob says: "I made a right ricket in the last minute and disallowed what was probably a perfectly good goal. I tried to explain it away but when I watched it back I thought 'maybe I should have kept my mouth shut'. It is a difficult job and what I am trying to do is highlight what a difficult job it is. In the ideal world you would come out afterwards and admit when you have got something wrong. I recall Paul Durkin, when he was refereeing, doing just that on a number of occasions. It is a tricky one if you go out on the first day of the season and say you got something wrong it is a credibility issue." (07/06/07) |

Jimmy Mac's Strike Against Charlton Wins Goal Of The Season Thanks to over 8000 votes from Evertonians, Faddy has won the Sky Sports Goal of The Season. Blue Kipper alerted Evertonians via this site and our message board and Evertonians voted. When we first announced it Jimmy Mac had just 7% of the vote and was second bottom, but in just 4 days he captured 25% of the vote to win, pushing the runnaway leader Robin Van Persie into second place. (08/06/07) Faddy now has 17% of the vote and is in 3rd place. Tell your mates. Keep voting. (07/06/07) Our very
own James McFadden has been posted on Sky Sports for Goal of the season.
What was the goal of the season? Lets get behind the sometimes gifted Scot. Faddy is 2nd from bottom with 7% of the vote. (05/06/07) |

He is, quite simply, the greatest and most successful manager that the club has ever had. Kendall was inducted into the English Football Hall of Fame in 2005 in recognition of his contribution as a manager to the English game.
