How To Take A Pen

Unsy scored his 24th penalty for the Toffeemen against Newcastle in 27 attempts putting him one ahead of Tricky Trev. But how does he take them

Unsy said: "I always know where I am going to put it. I know if I am going to place it either side or smash it down the middle. and I never ever change my mind. I always try and compose myself myself too and never rush a penalty, because when you rush them you miss them more often than not. I never look at the goalkeeper, I never lok at the ref, I just look at the ball, pick my spot and don't change my mind. That is the main thing" (14/04/03)

Unsy Back In The Groove

Blue Kipper mate Unsy scored his first Goodison pen this season and he hopes there is 4 more to come. The one against Leeds was his 23rd in his Everton career. Nerves of steel.

David said:“We haven’t had a penalty here in the league all season, so it was nice to get one against Leeds. Apparently, on average you’re awarded six penalties in a season, so we’ve got a few to come"(03/02/03)

Christmas Off For Unsey

The FA video panal have looked at the footage, & the sending off stands. The vote was 2-1 against Unsey.
Someone says: "The FA have informed us at lunchtime today that by a vote of 2:1 the appeal over David Unsworth's sending off against Chelsea has been rejected." Go easy on the Christmas pud, Rhino! He won't be available until the cup game at Shrewsbury. (17/12/02)

Ref Won't Change His Mind

Didn't you know he wasn't going to change his mind. What a prick. David Moyes has now expected to lodge an appeal to the F.A. They can still overturn the Refs decision. Unsy meanwhile has thanked Gronkjaer for falling like a bag of shite on the floor.

Knobhead said:"I told the player he was being dismissed because he had struck the Chelsea man. You don't have to use a hand to strike someone."

Moyesy said:"He told David at the time he was being sent-off for striking an opponent, and Jesper Gronkjaer also heard that.The video clearly shows he did not strike the player, either with his hand, his knee or any other part of his body. If he said there was intent by David to strike Gronkjaer with his knee I could understand the decision, but he said David struck him, which he clearly did not."

Unsy said:“I’d like to take this opportunity to thank Jesper Gronkjaer for what he said after the game.(10/12/02)

A Kick In The Goolies

Unsy may now face a four match ban and he is not too happy about the situation. Everton have said they will appeal.

Unsy said: "If you look at it carefully, everyone rushes in and there’s a knee that catches him in the face, which keeps him down, but I had already been held off by the gaffer. I was just desperate to get on with the game. A four-match ban is the last thing I need. I’m already missing the derby, which is bad enough in itself, but hopefully commonsense will prevail and the referee will be man enough to look at it and he’ll quash it. To have been beaten 3-1 well, that’s football and for Gronkjaer to score was a kick in the proverbials, but these things happen!” (09/12/02)

Chorley Face of Culture

Unsey is up for the Chorley Face of Culture (?). He's lagging behind in 4th place at the moment, but if the 20,000 Evertonians who log on Blue Kipper everyday vote for him, it will give Unsey an award in his testiomonial year!

Unsey To Miss The Derby

Everton must beat Chelsea on Wednesday night in the Worthington Cup, to enable Unsey to play in the Derby game. He will join Joey Yobo on the sidelines if we get beat, as the FA rules state that the player must wait 14 days before a suspension starts. (02/12/02).

I'm Havin' It

Rhino hasn't had the best of starts to a season. But it came good for him last night. He has even had the cheek to claim the goal that got us out of the shit, even though it hit six people and a post on the way in. Well David as far as Blue Kipper is concerned it's yours.

Rhino had this to say:" I was very disappointed not to be involved in the last two games.But that’s football. Andy Holden had a word with me tonight and he’s spoken to me over the past few days saying, ‘keep your chin up, your time will come’ and he was so right tonight."

“The gaffer has got the majority of the lads fit, everybody’s raring to go and there’s competition for places, which there’s not really been at this club for a long time. So you’ve just got to bide your time and when the opportunity comes, you’ve got to grab it with both hands and keep your shirt. That’s what it’s all about!"

About the goal he said:“It was a corner and I just anticipated it, really. I was going to go on the back post, but for some reason I just hung out, the ball was headed out to me and the good old trusty swinger came to the forefront!”

“If the panel take it off me, then fair enough, but until then I’ll claim it.I’ve got to haven’t I?(29/08/02)
