I live with two f****** Man United fans, one plastic, one genuine. you and the genuine beat up the plakka one regardless of the score. then everyone's happy.

At least, possibly make them apologise to the real proper 100% pure-blood NUFC fans at the end of each of their posts as well? Only fair imo. instead of a sig..good idea. how about a set limit of posts per day ? Limit of none, they shouldn't be allowed to mingle with the elite. Give them their own forum, call it 'The retards: Who's opinions simply don't count to real fans' and we can pop in now and again and laugh at them, and generally insult the fukers. agree with the sentiment but "the retards" is atad harsh......how about the "uncivilised" ? True, we shouldn't openly mock the inflicted like that. I think we should run monthly competitions against each of the 'uncivilised' as to who's the better toon fan. The winner granted 24 hour access to the main forums, but this is where your post count idea will have to come in, we can't have them taking over. I think we've got this covered, anything else to add before i PM admin with the new changes? do they have to pay to use this forum ....yet ?

i think it's about time that those from outside newcastle had to have a sign,on their av perhaps,maybe a black cross,to denote they aren't troo.

sorry big t for all yours was the last post it was mainly meant for oldtype. "dismissive attitude that has been causing us varying degrees of discomfort/anger"

he'll be thinking 6,7 or 8

So your not allowed to support a team if your not born there? People can't choose where they are born, but surely they have the right to choose which team they want to support? what country are you from ? honest qusetion and after you answer my back up question will clarify why i'm asking

thats the paranoia bit as the dismissive attitude was never aimed at you lot. (bloody foreigners,what they like eh ?) The paranoia is understandable though. No one wants to be a supporter and feel they are still on the outside looking in. It's easy for those of us born here to dismiss it because we don't feel it. i didn't even see anyone having a go at the international brigade,i've met nufc fans in lots of countries and it's good,i'm all in favour. the slaggings off have been for the brit based glory hunters. we have a go at the man utd/arsenal and chelsea ones without admitting our own. i'm not having a pop at anyone on here as i don't personally know them so can't vouch one way or the other so i'll take everyone at their word. if they are paranoid because NM said he didn't understand the concept of how they chose nufc they need to give thenselves a shake.(even then,he said he could understand the position of those from abroad) will someone direct me to the slaggings off the foreign legion have been given ?

martian magpies....only a matter of time

Back to the oldskool... Not oldskool enough for my liking. aye,back to grassroots

been nicked by scotchy urchins

boarded up ! whats going on ? is it just to protect it from the demo work at the brewery or is something else afoot ? get him to St Jame's where he belongs.

public flogging at the foot of greys monument

keegan said he had to take part in training today to stand a chance of playing.

I'd win. I'm from Scotchy. aye,you'd run him over in his own car.

well if you lived anywhere near newcastle you'd know. for years the club had a tradirtion of making the weeks worst trainer wear the yellow top as you can see.(im sure it's spelt wrong,should be 2 "t"s That would make it make it 'shitter' as in sh-it-er. But it's meant to be shiter as in sh-aye-ter but nobody says "i've had a shiter (sh-aye-ter)" do they ?

well if you lived anywhere near newcastle you'd know. Every single conversation we have from now on is going to have to be about that, isn't it? aye......but you know how it's meant.

Eh? Well, before money came into play, it's all the fans who were the lifeblood of the club, the merchandise etc. If it was ONLY people in Newcastle who supported the side, I very much doubt we'd get 52,000, I very much doubt we'd be at the level we are now. All clubs need fans, obviously. Fans put a lot of money into the club. Money is what keeps the club going. If it was only Geordies supporting us and going to the games, there wouldnt be half as many fans as there is now, and all that sort of thing. A club without fans, and lots of them is nothing. but shouldn't that count for all clubs,only mancs to citeh or united,only scosers to pool or toffees. on that scale i reckon we'd be quite near the top of the prem.

after school in the park.......barney...BARNEY.

I think you're overreacting myself, although it's an interesting debate and if you feel that strongly about it all, rant away as that's what the forum is here for. Myself, I wouldn't be bothered about it all, no foreign fan of NUFC has to justify their support. It's not a matter of us trying to justify our support (like I've just said, that's silly. Why should anyone have to do that?) It's a matter of us trying to convince those who would think less of us to think differently. Granted, that's probably a lot cause, but as you've said, ranting is what this forum is for. But who thinks less of you? In my eyes, I'm astounded we have so many foreign fans and even more so at the lengths a good number of you go to to follow Newcastle, often putting local fans to shame. For me we have fantastic foreign fans who support the club for all the right reasons. It's all about the club and not what we've won, what we have a chance of winning or the kind of football we play. That means you follow the club for the same reasons as I do outside of being born here which you can't help (where you're born). Now I am of the same opinion as NM that people should support their local clubs, but that doesn't mean I think anyone is less of a fan. Same as I don't think if you're not a Geordie, you are less of a fan. That's just complete s**** and I don't even think that's the argument NM is getting at. You have to remember, it's a mentality bread into people here in the UK, especially in places like Newcastle, that you look out for your own and you support your own and to do otherwise is akin to being a traitor or a sell-out. My mother for example classes the club as "we" or "us" yet she isn't a supporter like you or I am. I know Geordies who don't like football but who have relations who 'support' Man Utd for example and think "how can you support them, you should support the Toon, they are wor team". By "wor" that means they are Newcastle's team, the City's which should come first in any aspect, whether it be football or living in a different City or country. "Why would you wanna live there, what's wrang with Newcastle, wor home Toon". Perhaps if people came to understand this mentality then they may see where the likes of NM are coming from and not get so defensive. We are an island remember and an island race and this type of mentality is in our genes almost. More so in remote areas like Newcastle who at one point or another, may as well have been a different country to the rest of the nation. Indeed many people today rightly or wrongly consider themselves as Geordies first and Englishmen second. Some don't even think of themselves as Englishmen and couldn't care less. This isn't even a football thing for many people and pre-dates the game. it's posts like that ,that start wars of independence.

Is that you HTT? hell TT,you are slower than me.

Didnt mean it in an offensive way and i was one of the ones who adamantly defended the Keegan appointment on the spurs board (i also praised the appointment on here too). I agree that the spurs team is a bit of a soft touch and have said that too but get over yourself ffs. Keegan seems a nice guy and not really a diciplinarian so that where i base my judgement on, now go grab a tissue and let the tears flow he is when needed (i remember him being tough with lee clarke,andy cole and barry venison) but he has a way with people that means he doesn't often need it. Don't forget when he pulled Beresford off after about twenty minutes for talking back to him. clean forgot about that till you brought it up.i still remember the look of shock on beresfords face. (cue a few jokes about pulling beresford off ) I want to say it was against Villa, is that right? honestly can not remember who it was against
