I like Silvio Maric again.

Reply in English on the Dinamo forum: They say he's close to Newcastle but the problem is Luka's basic wage, it seems the offer is not satisfying. I think that's not the problem, I believe Luka would prefer London (or Liverpool) over Newcastle.

I asked a Croatian on another website and he said this: http://www.pieandbovril.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=82045

I see Cuellar turned us down! http://www.pieandbovril.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=81622

Someone mentioned the Vault opening at half 10 on another thread.

haha. that was quite good that! Mind, every time I hear the pathetic anti-Newcastle arguement, another 1000 gets knocked off our 80's crowds.

I disagree. They got themselves into the mess in the first place. There are hundereds of good kids who never break the law who would never be able to afford to go to Newcastle games. Well done to them for turning their lives around, but they don't need Premier League tickets as a reward.

Souness by a long long way. I still actually find it hard to believe he was ever appointed. He destroyed a team who had just finished 4th, 3rd and 5th. Sir Bobby did an amazing job and had us set up for years had we made the right appointment. Freddie made the worst appointment possible and for that I will never forgive him. The only reason he lasted so long was because the media loved him. Ill never forget Alan Hanson describing us as idiots for calling for his head. Telling us we were eating humble after we scraped past Spurs in the cup. Roeder was never good enough. I didnt expect any better and it was another terrible appointment by Freddie.

Good youth academy at Ross County. Played there a couple of times when i was younger because they scout the whole of the highlands and islands. Their kids were absolutely brilliant compared to me though. Think Liverpool recently signed a youngster from them aswell. Yeah. I went up in Decemeber to watch Berwick get shagged there and was surprised by the set up. A town of about 7000 with a decent sized stadium, full time team and youth set up. Im sure Liverpool were going to try and get a link up with them going but it fell through i think.

We are signing Graham Girvan from Ross County according to one of his mates on a Scottish football forum I visit. Been on trial here and at Bolton before. Not going to be a first team player yet though obviously. http://www.rosscountyfootballclub.co.uk/Graham-Girvan.php

Poyet's goal in the FA Cup semi. We would have went on to win that game I reckon had he not destroyed our confidence again so soon after the Lee goal. Then we would have beaten Villa in the final no doubt about it.

The derby games ive been to were the 1-1 Bellamy and Phillips game, 2-0 Shearer and Bellamy game, the 3-2 game, and the 1-0 Dabizas game but I was in the mackem end at the SOS so it was frustrating not being able to celebrate. Emre's goal was the best moment but I enjoyed the 2-0 better. Me and a few mates went down on the day without a ticket and we went up to the ground in hope of finding a tout our something. Anyway, I went up to the box office and somehow they had 4 tickets left! I couldn't believe it! I was totally chuffed but unfortunatly there was 5 of us so one couldnt get and had to watch it in the pub. Thankfully I was first to ask out of all of us. I remember hanging about up beside the away fans under the stand as the go in and seeing my mate and his dad in the mackem end singing abuse. We started chanting 'you fat bastard' at him then all the mackems turned their attention on us and the police horses came and chased us away! Then the results was class as well obviously and we went home chuffed.

Hopefully. Just got ticket. GET IN!!

Spurs, then Man Utd and Liverpool about equal.

How about Ibrahim Afellay from PSV? http://www1.sport1.nl/images/thumbs/466x347/files/Uploads/1162481065.jpg Don't know if he has been mentioned on here before but he always looks a good player whenever I see him play, and I would prefere players on their way up rather than people who have done it all before and are on their way down like Riise.

I think we need two quality CB's. We need them in quick and we need them to build a partnership together over the friendlies and the start of next season. I don't really think anyone we have at the moment is good enough. Faye will do a job, but isnt consistant enough.

We should buy Danny Swanson for £2million. Then Berwick will get the 25% sell on clause. Happy days all round!

Well I don't. And thankfully Berwick Rangers don't behave like Gretna so they will hopefully be around for years to come. It wouldnt bother me so much, but these bastard clubs who spend more than they can afford on wages and build stands they can't afford, plunge themselves into debt just to keep up their artificial positions. Then they try and cut everyone else off by demanding an SPL2, blaming the PART-TIME teams for their demise and holding them back! Clubs like Clyde and Airdrie United as well as Gretna trying to stay full time on crowds hardly above 1000. Its not the part-time clubs fault, its their fault. They should be part-time themselves!

I made the mistake of taking time off work and travelling to Derby on a Monday night. I won't be making the same mistake and going to Birmingham. Actually, I would love to go but havent got a penny to my name at the moment.

Why should he? If Gretna had lived within their means they wouldn't be in this position. IF they survive they should go back to paying part-time wages and if they want to progress do it the right way, like every other small club in Scotland has to do. I would be a bit pissed off if Ashley pumped a bit of cash into Gretna to help keep them up in their false position, whilst part time clubs like Berwick, Alloa, Cowdenbeath and Forfar have to fight for survival every season with help from loyal fans selling half-time tickets, handing leaflets out to get people to go to games and devoting their own time preparing the stadium and things just to help keep the club going. There are far more deserving non-league clubs in the north-east than giving money to Gretna.

Berwick 4-5 Cowden! Gutted!!! Into March and yet to see Berwick or Newcastle win a league game this year! Fucks sake.

err, they did... and they got whooped by Birmingham for it. errrrr....totally different. They won a cup and went out and got pished, Duff gets pished the day after we lost 4-1 to Birmingham.

Duff the pisshead. We get destroyed off Villa one day, then the next he is in the pub hardly able to walk with his mates laughing and joking whilst watching some real TEAMS play on the tele. With that attitude he is a waste of time. Imagine Spurs players doing that under Ramos!

He signed some very good players for us. as for souness, i still can't believe it today. one of the stupidest, most-poorly handled sacking/replacement in modern football history and a chapter that brings shame on those involved (douglas hall and shepherd). I agree. I can actually believe what happened either! In fact I try not to think about it too much because I just become annoyed. I hate Souness for what he made us and I can't stand seeing him on TV. NEVER EVER the right choice! It was a bit like the Hutchings and Sammy Lee appointments this year, so so obvious it would never ever work, but we hung on and hung on until he had destroyed us.
