J7

Yeah. I thought that after watching his goal back on Sunday. He just seemed to throw Guthrie out of the way when he tried to celebrate with him. Acted like a bit of a cunt really.

Your not the sharpest that is why have not been arsed to reply to your other post, BUT most parts of the grounds have not noticed the change & still have the same stewards in there areas. Now jog on have a think why large men are having to try sort order out L7 corner, there is no need to reply just be happy that you have figured it out for yourself. I beg your pardon? Is there any need to resort to petty jibes? The reason large men are now patrolling the L7 corner is because the stewarding has been outsourced to a company that provides the city's bouncers, and the same staff are now being used in the football ground. I haven't seen any trouble in the Level 7 corner since it was set up, nothing that requires bouncers to be there Thespence. So instead of being insulting why don't you go to the Laing Art Gallery on Sunday. It will save you having to endure the thuggish, loutish behaviour of the rest of us who enjoy going to the football and having a bit of an atmosphere going rather than sitting in absolute silence. No other part of ground is having any bother, all the stewards who have worked certain parts of the ground for god knows how many years ARE STILL IN THERE USUAL PALCE. SJP didn't have any of this problem last year with home fans standing it does now because people will not doing as they are requested to sit down. The same blokes work the Northumberland Plate at racecouse they tell people you cant take pints in a glass on to the grass & people RESPECT what they say, nobody steams on to the grass "IT IS SAFE, I WILL PUT IT IN THE BIN!!!" They are not bouncers when they are working at SJP they stewards. I dont need to go to the Laing tbf I have mastered how to sing sitting down, it is not hard. I could also sing in the Gallowgate in the 80's when people were able to stand at games, that wasn't hard either. Tbf it is the best door firm in Newcastle/North East it is why every large pub/club organsation uses them & Northumbria Police praise them as they have ended the era of local thugs running most of the doors. They may well have ended the thuggish behaviour at bars, but the steward who launched himself into the lad on Sunday was the most violent person I have seen in a football crowd in a long time. You obviously have a distinct dislike for the people who sit up in the leazes level 7, whether they sit or stand. Why that is, only you know. You keep going on about that bloke, but I don't see anyone defending him. People keep going on about how thuggish level 7 is without justification. Its a stereotypical view that is held by snobs in other areas of the ground. People in level 7 are not second class Newcastle supporters. You haven't commented on what I said though It's been well documented in the past the above average amount of trouble the people who now sit up there seem to manage to get into. That's not to say everyone should be tarred with the same brush, but you deny they seem to attract troublemakers. Ive sat there at nearly every game, and there hasnt been any trouble. Standing up isnt 'trouble'. Im glad not all our supporters are like you and Thespence or it would be pretty boring on match day. Might as well be watching the snooker.

The problem though, is that people are allowed to stand in football stadia for other events, rugby, concerts etc. Football fans get treat like morons. I stand every day, and very rarely fall over, and cannot see why my risk of falling over increases dramatically when I am in a football stadium. It may surprise stewards, football stadium staff and city councils but loads of people find standing quite simple and risk free and some people can even walk whilst standing with a hardy few being able to jog and run too. Good post. Ive been to games before where ive been told that I stand at my own risk, and the club can't be held responsible if I fall over. I accepted this and continued to stand. The most 'dangerous' time in a football ground is after a goal is scored when everyone is jumping up at the same time, and then jumping up and down most of the time. This happens all around the ground at every goal, so the safety issue of standing up at normal points of the game doesnt really wash with me. In Level 7 esspecially where there is loads of room. What happens at Everton by the way? They seem to stand all game behind the goal and I never see any bother.

Easier? Yes easier. Not in terms of physically easier, ie. my voice doesnt go when I sit down, but its easier to sing when you're standing up with everybody else. In terms of confidence and feeling part of something.

I can sing and sit down as well, but its alot easier when standing up. The atmosphere wouldnt be as good if everyone sat down.

If they make people sit down, it won't be a singing area anyway because its hard to get an atmosphere going sitting down. Sitting down in the hope that they keep the section will be pointless, because without standing up and singing, it might as well be any other part of the ground. I'd prefere everyone to keep doing what they're doing.

Whats he been doing? Can only be on about £15k a week.

Hopefully he doesnt piss off Martins too much whilst trying to keep Owen happy in a desperate attempt to get him to sign a new contract.

Considering they don't include below the SPL in Scotland, its this. Its as the crow flys though. It would take 2 and a half hour to get to Dundee from Berwick. 46.45 miles SCP Hibernian Football Club EH7 5QG 0131 661 1875 48.42 miles SCP Heart Of Midlothian Football Club EH11 2NL 0870 787 1874 56.17 miles PR Newcastle United Football Club NE1 4ST 0191 261 1571 61.56 miles SCP Dundee United Football Club DD3 7JW 0138 283 3166 63.32 miles PR Sunderland AFC SR5 1SU 0845 671 1973 66.58 miles SCP Gretna DG16 5AP 0146 133 7602 68.76 miles L1 Carlisle United Football Club CA1 1LL 0122 852 6237 69.35 miles SCP Falkirk Football Club FK2 9DX 0132 462 4121 76.01 miles SCP Motherwell Football Club ML1 2QN 0169 833 3333 80.29 miles L1 Hartlepool United Football Club TS24 8BZ 0142 924 2233

"A love that burns within and will never fade" Best quote.

If Shay was going to uproot his family and move to the other end of the country, it wouldn't be to Spurs. What would be the point?

Obafemi's birthday party is obviously more far important than any shitty mackem game. You can hardly blame the lad.

The highlights at half time on the tele's. I was waiting for ages to see the Beye tackle again.

Sky Sports News just said Keith Harris has said its down to two serious bids, one of which should go through by the end of the year.

The lack of official comment is worrying. However, at least its not as bad as Berwick Rangers. A director put the club up for sale last week through a post on a football forum, then the same director (once a football hooligan and banned from every pub in the town a few years back) went on to spread a load of shite about another director later in the thread. Berwick announced a load of signings on the official website during the summer, only for the fans to find out they hadn't actually signed, and a few went on to sign for other clubs. The team manager was late on Saturday and had to phone his team through when stuck in traffic, a player was sent off then arrested for assulting the referee, then a player gave the fingers to the Dumbarton fans as he stormed down the tunnel after being subbed. Newcastle are a well run outfit compared to Berwick.

I cried myself to sleep the day he left. I remember my Man Utd supporting mate brought me round a Gillespie photo and demanded my Cole poster! Gutted!

It was a poor second half performance, but that said, half our team last night werent really match fit. Enrique, Beye, Martins, Barton and Jonas will all get better with games. The tactics were a bit shit though. Had we pressed a bit more at the start of the second half we could have got a third and sealed the game there, because they were shocking at the back first half. Had we done that then Im sure we would have seen a bit more confidence and keep ball.

Not sure why he wasnt on pens anyway tbh. He's our best penalty taker, certainly better than Martins from the spot.

For me, the Marseille away leg in the UEFA Semi, or the AZ away leg. Both times, had we won I think we would have gone on and won the cup. In my time supporting Newcastle weve had 3 close chances of winning cups, the two above and the Chelsea semi in 2000. Win that and I believe we would have beat Villa. I never expected to win the finals in the two previous years. Out of those 3 I would say the Marseille game was the most most heartbreaking. Outside Newcastle, Berwick losing 4-0 in the 1st leg of the playoff final in 2005.

I think we need to wait a few games first. Its far too close down at the bottom to judge much yet. We're only about 6 points off the top half which is amazing.

Im assuming if he gets done for this, it will be for six games, as his suspension was for 6 games then 6 suspended or something. If they FA charge him for this however its a fuckin joke. Joey is exactly the type of player we need at the moment and hopefully he will start on Tuesday and rip WBA appart. Welcome back Joey!

Same here, although it was the mackem end I was in that day, just next to the toon support. Managed to keep calm, just stood up shaking my head when Dabizas scored so I could see where he was going with the celebration. It was quite funny listening to the mackems around me during the game! Classic quote sitting in the pub with my mackem mate after the match: "I wouldn't say this in front of any Newcastle fan, but we are fuckin shite, fuckin shite, and Ive been to Northampton to see us, but we are shitter now than weve ever been." My mate just looked at me and I thought he was about to tell the whole pub I was a toon fan! Can't wait for tomorrow now!

Ill not be wearing my black and white shirt, just because I don't have the current one. Probably would if I had one though. Who gives a fuck what people are wearing anyway?

I thought it was quality last night. The top corner was like an away section. Fuckin quality!
