Well in Everton, let's help this lad get to America

[Gym Beglin]

Everton donated £200k towards this, he needs £750k to get to America to try and help get him better.

TAKE TWO MINUTES TO GIVE A FEW QUID TO GET HIM THERE:

Biscuit head Rooney could give up 3 weeks wages to get him there. That's how fucked up football is these days.

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

They've got the money they needed now. Everton's donation was for the amount needed to hit the full target.

 

Fair play to them. They're still accepting donations though in case further treatment is needed due to complications.

 

Fuck blaming footballers being able to fund it though. Give it to him on the NHS instead of refurbishing the Houses of Parliament or building a poncey garden bridge in that there London.

I hear you, brother.

[Paulie Dangerously]

Didn't this lad get sent a few months ago?  I recall loads of twitter about it, or was that someone else?

[Gym Beglin]

Just give something and leave a message of support to his family. Like you say, treatment costs upfront aren't a guarantee of anything in the US healthcare system.

 

Be nice if the PL matched Everton's donation.

[Elite]

Fair play to Everton.

[lifetime fan]

Class touch from them.

[G Richards]

It's all fun and games to have a poke at Everton as the rivalry (ha, as if they are our rivals!) adds to the spice and enjoyment of the game. 

 

But leaving that part of things to one side, credit to them for this gesture. It's a lovely, compassionate thing to do. 

[Lycan]

Lovely gesture from the blues.

[Section_31]

Great gesture.

[Ronnie Whelan]

Fair play to the Blues.

 

Was at Manchester Airport the other week and saw three Scouse lads ripping up a load of S*n papers that were left for people to take free. All Everton fans.

 

We forget because of their knobhead element that most Blues are sound.

[Bobby Hundreds]

Its a brilliant thing to do. Insane the costs, what a world.

[jimmycase]

Yeah saw this on the north east news tonight. Thought it was a magbificent gesture by the club if Im honest.

 

I wonder whether we'd have done similar if we'd been playing them?

 

They said the donation means the family have achieved their target but are carrying on fund raising.

[Robbo29]

well done to them, have to say they do a lot more community stuff than we do. sometimes we too quick to have a go at them. just think ronseal woodstain is £13.99 a tin at screwfix, thats over 14000 tins, bring woodison up nice that lot

Repped for taking the trouble to look that up and work it out.

[Josef Svejk]

£200k is more than a "gesture", with all due respect.

 

Fair fucks to them...

[jimmycase]

Fucking hell, why do some folk have to take issue with the word 'gesture' especially when it's preceeded by 'magnificent' or not?

[Tony Moanero]

Ronnie Whelan knows.
