Big Geordie

I was there too BG. Family Section?. I was 13. Yup - if I remember correctly!

I was there too - In the West Stand Paddock, next to the Leazes End. God knows how my dad got the cash to take me (as an 11 year old) as being a pitman, he was on strike at the time. Class day though.

Leazes - no, it's only on SKY. Is it due to be repeated at all?

Tommo -thanks for sharing your info. Hope your source turns out to be right, because this whole mess is overdue in being sorted out.

Not sure if anyone is aware, but there is a re-run of the WC Semi from 1990 (England v Germany) currently on ITV4. 2nd half is about 15mins in. Am SKY+ing it.

I heard Sir John on 5Live earlier on today (whilst driving to the ground) He wouldn't answer when pressed about the sacking of Sir Bobby. Chose to deflect it.

Shepherd intimating that although he sacked Robson (as chairman), it wasn't his choice. Implying that others were behind the decision - probably the Hall's?

Talked about Sunderland's game with Celtic, tomorrow. Horswill cut him short and explained that tonight's show was about Sir Bobby, which they'd said already at the start of the programme.

Been today - but going back tomorrow morning and taking my little 9month old daughter (complete in her toon strip) Gonna take along one of my old Newcastle top's as well and hang it up with the rest. Good to see you getting your daughter involved so young. Will feel a bit daft going on my own tomorrow, but I dare say it won't last long, and I've got 3 scarves compared to 1 neck, so what else is there to do. I went on my own today after work - no big deal so get yourself along.

thought the Legends was very Good tonight, apart from that knacker Macca..( what an embarrassment he was) Yup - it was. Supermac sound like he was in tears, when he read the lead story at 6pm. As for that Macca lad - what a complete dick, especially after the lads had said the night was devoted to memories of Sir Bobby.

Tribute to Sir Bobby currently on Real Radio. Gazza and Beardsley coming up soon.

I'll 2nd that. For me though - it was him giving us the belief back in our club and his team providing some wonderful football and entertainment. Will never forget those CL nights - either going to games or watching them on TV. Me going to Turin to watch us play Juventus seems like a million years ago now. All down pretty much to one man.

RIP Sir Bobby - a true legend Was in town this morning when the news broke. Was surprised that is happened so quickly after Sunday. However he did look very frail and I wonder as to whether they doctors gave him one last boost to be able to make it there. Went to the ground after work and took some flowers. Hundreds of people coming and going, laying scarves, flags, shirts and flowers. I also hope that this gives a kick up the backside to get the current situation at NUFC sorted out once and for all.

I'm not sure Coloccini will to be honest. Reckon he's content to sit and wait his deal out.

All we need now, is for Barton, Smith, Nolan, Colocinni, etc to hand in transfer requests too. Oh wait - that's asking for too much surely?

Oh well - at least he's had the balls to do it. I wish him well for the future.

A hoax is one thing, but surely the 'joke' wears off after the first time it's been done? If it is the mackems - once again they are more concerned with our business, then that of their own club.

I could hear it on the radio, towards the end of the game.

"We want Ashley Out!" being sang, I think.

Alan Smith MoM.

Shot from Grella takes a deflection and behind for a corner.

Higgs saves from Nolan, played through by Barton. Offside though.

Mick and Ando pissing themselves on the radio.

Some numpty runs on the pitch and is chased and caught by a steward.
