@standupEFC Liverpool have a huge Irish Catholic following who think the link is historic. It is not. It in a product of Liverpool winning on MOTD and that being transmitted in eastern Irish homes by the BBC. The religious divide is no more but did exist before the Liverpool fanbase was internationalised by the bandwagon following its televised succes post '64. EFC was Irish Scotland Rd.The Kop was scouser Tommy.

@EvertonianNorthEnder , yeah I like your comment

[JamieDowney92]

People are going on about religion and what not but theirs not to many who care to mutch about it. I would say that has long pass now. Celtic and rangers get to mutch the blame now in my oppinion for the reliogious stuff. Both clubs have Catholics and protastants supporting them like any other club. I'm a Celtic fan but have never supported them for any religious or political reasons I supported them due to friends and family.

Everton is considered a catholic club because Liverpool as a city is 80% catholic and is the only majority catholic city in Britain, Belfast is 60% protestant and Glasgow is even higher again, During the Irish Troubles of the 60s Everton Fans started waving Ireland flags and some say Liverpool waved Union Jacks, Our city and football is not influenced by politics or religion, but many catholic scousers sympathised with Irish Freedom fighters due to liverpool being built upon Irish immigrants.

KOPITES ARE GOBSHITES

[vetruvian1]

Everton were formed out of a methodist church (protestant) and still the only ground with a church again church of england (protestant)

Orange hall Everton rd, traditionaly there has been a bigger connection to rangers than celtic.

Put all that aside, the merseyside derby is not a sectarian day out its about the whole of liverpool coming together and watching a game of football

Im a blue and Im a protestant the same as the rest of my family but the derby is about football.

Go on the everton, to hell with liverpool and rangers to lol

[TheMightOfTheEnglish]

escla , were one of the largest supporters clubs outside liverpool, in my opinion its fairly even in both clubs, i know catholics of irish descent who are liverpool fans and i know many protestants who support everton, if i thought there was any secterianism, or anything religious about everton or liverpool, id be a red god forbid , or even tranmere,

[TheMightOfTheEnglish]

@standupEFC were do you get your figures from, liverpool has never always had fans from outside , mabbe since the 60s when shankley turned them around , were where their fans in the 50s when they were definately in the shadow of everyone i wouldnt say 95% of everton come from liverpool alone , many come from all parts of merseyside , then you have support from the likes of north wales and all over england , not on the scale of other teams , although escla , everton supporters club london area
