  1. Ask yourself why O'Neill wouldn't touch this club with a bargepole back then. And ask yourself the same question for right now.
  2. Such a brave and courageous man. As Tooj said, absolutely heartbreaking.
  3. There's a 92.45% chance that stat you've quoted is entirely made-up, and that actually none of us has a clue what is going to happen.

    Kneejerkometer will be in overload at the moment. SMF errors all over the place.

    Quiet a few minutes there with the old SMF error. Not surprisingly.
  6. Its sad that men being gay is seen as a scandal in this day and age. Indeed it is.
  7. Shame really, as if Ince gets the sack it will only serve to set the case for black managers back a few years. You would have thought that with so many excellent black football players passing through the ranks of the Football League over the past couple of decades, we'd have seen at least a fair few promising young black managers coming forward from that crop. Ince looks like the latest in the line to be branded a "failure" and you have to wonder if he does get sacked, whether any Premiership team will have him as manager again. John Barnes - great player, appalling manager, even more terrible television presenter. Chris Kamara - decent player, average manager but didn't last long before he took up commentating for Sky. Garth Crooks - more memorable for being an annoying opinionated twat than a decent player. Ruud Gullit - OK, maybe a bit of an exception here, but he's not setting the world alight is he?
  8. Glenn Roeder says hi. No. I said like you've NEVER been underwhelmed before.
  9. Expect to be underwhelmed like you've never been underwhelmed before.

    Are you going to re-set the poll at 5 o'clock? do you think i should? As it stands you can remove your vote then vote again. This keeps all of the other votes. Re-setting the poll wipes all of the previous votes. yeah, i had considered this, i thought the people who were moaning it was too much of a reactionometer, would prefer to let people change thier own votes when they decide. just a thought,. perhaps i need to get a life. You need a few different polls - including a KNEEJERKOMETER and a MATURE-REFLECTIONIST-OMETER and a I-TOLD-YOU-SO-O-METER and an NE5-DON'T-TALK-TO-ME-ABOUT-CRAP-BOARDS-OMETER.... the pressuire of starting this relo-ometer is getting to me. i havent shaved for days, i just keep staring into space, i am asking myself am i the right man for the job. if i leave it in 6 months time, it will better off than when i came. im gonna kick the shit out of a notice board.
  11. Your Christmas hat is brown. Why? And yes, I think Owen's time is probably spent here now. Wouldn't be surprised to see Viduka moving on as well. Think Butt and Ameobi will end up staying though. is it brown? oops, i am actually colour blind. Mate, my apologies.

    I think things just went a little closer to 10. Just a smidgen.
  15. I had a few posts to read before replying, I probably explained it better anyway. No, you didn't. But you carry on with you delusions of grandeur.
  16. Constructive dismissal is where an employer appears to force an employee to resign because of the actions of the employer. Wow. It's like I never even posted that seconds before you. it's just people see your name and keep going. Never a truer word posted on this forum, tbh.

  18. I keep playing Devils Advocate on this so don't take it the wrong way. Do contracts work both ways? I don't think they do and would like to see somebody who breaks it from the other side have to pay the employer for the remainder of the contract. It seems all one sided to me, it's far too easy for one party to break a contract while the other ends up out of pocket if they do it. A contract is a statement of terms upon which 2 parties are willing to be legally bound. If either side has broken the terms of the contract, and it can be proven, they'll lose. Keegan signing his contract in January seemed to happen very quickly iirc. I'd like to think he and his lawyer gave it the once over and he knew exactly what he was signing... isnt constructive dismissal when an employer acts within the contract but does whatever they can to get rid of the employee. Nah, I always understood it was when an employer acts (or fails to act) in such a way as to make it impossible for the employee to carry on doing their job with any credibility or in a sustainable manner with terms and conditions which are not prejudicial to the employee carrying out their duties.
  19. there isn't a debate. you have on the one side those who think keegan couldn't ever do any wrong and on the other those who think it's just better if nufc kept any money regardless of the rights and wrongs. one or two are enlightened through their unenlightenment enough to say....i'll decide after the evidence comes out. ironically the world divides itself along similar lines. those who want evidence and proof get swamped by those too emotional to see past their blind,closed minded petty views. There are also those who just have the interests of Newcastle United as a football club at heart. If it can be shown to me how Keegan winning this case will benefit the club I am willing to listen. Surely, regardless of whatever personal feelings of empathy (or antipathy) one has towards Keegan - any right-minded person must want this sorry episode to be reviewed and properly scrutinised by the eyes of the law, as only then will any sort of healing be able to take place for the club as a whole?

    No. What's the problem? This? http://www.newcastle-online.org/nufcforum/index.php/topic,58002.msg1585405.html#msg1585405 Sometimes it's like that, aye. Like the menu is seethrough and you see the rolling news text behind it. But other times it just won't click - i.e. acts like there's no hyperlink embedded in the text. Probably both Firefox issues I suspect.
