also waht about pre match. heard something about sam jacks.

Get yerself in Leazes park with a cheap wireless in yer ear man, few tins, crackin'

1. Offering cheaper tickets to people living within the local vicinity of the ground, mostly working class areas = Good

2. Offering cheaper tickets to a certain section of that local population based on colour/beliefs etc = Bad

I take it in this case it was the first option, but due to there being a large amount of muslims living in the area covered, they were kind enough to offer halal food.

Or maybe I'm being slightly naive to what are just business interests.

It would be good to see an end to the Geordie Boot Boy song, I bet 90% of those singing it have never seen a Doc Martin boot, never mind worn one.

And where can I get a donkey jacket and black & white tartan scarf these days?

For me, unless its a moment involving Newcastle (and to a much lesser extent England), moments dont really take my breath away or any of that nonsense.

 

I'd rather see a Toon tap in than watch Messi take on half of Spain before scoring with his chin.

Agree with you mate.

Tino waving his shirt around on the end of the corner flag, that capped one of the most breath taking nights of football for me. 

And anything that involved Beardsley, the little shimmy he used to do, the little dance. magic.

Portsmouth are a solid side, we'll be lucky if we carry on our run. TBH this will be our litmus test to see how far Keegan has taken the team in terms of tactics and confidence

This for me.

I'll be very happy with a draw.

 

 

Its all irrelavant when your breaths been taken away.

Class, that's going on my gravestone. 

 

I find the preferential treatment of people because they happen to be muslim repulsive

You haven't read the thread, have you?

These sort of subjects have a bad effect on me.....

That's alright, just watch the door doesn't hit your arse on the way out.

 

Good stuff, but I don't know how many times I have to say this, it was *not* a muslim seating area.

 

It was an area of the ground where no booze is served (like the family section and - I believe - the away end) but also where Halal food was available.

 

The attenders could sit there or elsewhere.

 

This is a very interesting thread, but maybe you should edit your OP to mention what you have above? I don't think i'm the only one who was a bit confused at first

Beating chelsea and stopping them being champions would be f****** magic.

I've always wanted to take the title back from manchester united

Ok Biffa.

Did an alarm go off?

Surrealism will get you nowhere Alex.

Ok then, people shouldn't criticise Martin Samuels. Better?

I'm affraid not, no.

Anyway, if both places are essentially the same (as you suggest), both being the public domain, both are open to criticism, right?

They are similar in that they are both websites that contain opinions, which appears to be the subject of what is being discussed, and yes, as I have already said, they are both open to critisism.

Like I said, I'm not really bothered if you don't like them being criticised by me.

Your post was pretty much the last one on the thread, my comments are more 'in general' i'm affraid. 

I find your taking affront as humourous as it is suspicious btw.

I'm taking Affront? heh, now that is humourous.

Fair enough if you like them, but to suggest a website in the public domain shouldn't be criticised is, to borrow your phrase, even more of a joke.

 

I don't recall saying that they could not be criticised... I said that the critisisms levelled at them pale into insignificance next to certain opinions that are posted on this website (for example).

 

 

That's a bit like saying you shouldn't criticise Stephen Carr because he's a better at football than most of the posters on this board are at writing. If you don't like what I say about them, tough s*** tbh.

Well I hope Stephen Carr can write, because most of the posters on here are probably better at football.

Still, thats a bit of a crap example Alex, nufc.com is a website that contains the opinions of a couple of fans, this site also contains opinions of fans.  I don't think i've ever been angry reading nufc.com, unlike this place

They're so far up their own arses it's untrue.

I'd rather be up their (collective) arse, than yours.

AFAIC, they do a great job, and I value their opinions (whether I agree with them or not).  When you put their comments next to those by people that seem to be quite content posting their ill conceived s*** all over this board (see the How long does Keegan get thread for one example), the fact that people can slag the nufc.com lads off is a joke.

 

Anyway thank feck we never got him.

Twitcher was obviously on a list of 'possibility's' if the Keegan offer fell through, he made a few bob out of it in the process. 

(all my up my own arse opinion, of course)

I got banned from these boards (ok, it was only for a week), for taking issue with a 'Keegan Out' thread by some plonker called Turdball2000. 

It's actually quite sad to read some of the brain-dead comments on this thread.

The thing is HF, as I mentioned above, for me seeing people leave early takes the edge off the game, brings me down to earth, which is not something I want to be feeling before I have to.

 

Having this opinion hardly makes me a soopafan, as you put it, but someone who doesn't quite understand the kind of fan who leaves early.

 

 

If only people knew, I'm sure they'd gladly sit in Newcastle traffic for an hour or wait three quarters of an hour for a metro they could squeeze on, as long as it maintained your fantasy.

so it's only me that enjoys a full 90 minutes of football? i'm sure there's someone else out there!

People can leave whenever they like tbh... 

I don't think anyone has said that they're not allowed to leave early, but a few people have commented that they can't understand why they would want to leave early... simple really.

Honestly, just stop. 

 

Having a pop at this stuff is pathetic.

 

See-through posturing over what a soopafan you are because you wait till the final whistle and clap along to the Blaydon Races, like you deserve a medal for it.

 

The sort of appearance conscious platitudes that Steven Taylor caters to every time he struggles to get back to the tunnel before anyone else.

So you're one of the buggers?

The early leavers piss me right off, it takes the edge off the game seeing them all swarm out, and I hate having to keep standing up for the bastards, blocking my view while they stand waiting for their shyster mates.

 

I left after the final whistle and was in Fitzgeralds with a pint of Workie Ticket in hand at 5.05pm, whats up with that eh?

 

You mean you sit down?

 

I hate the bastards that don't stand shirtless for 90 minutes and only stop singing for breath.

i've got a gammy leg man. 

Re Edgar - as others have said, you expect a young player, who's been given his 'big chance', to be a bit nervous. But from what I've seen of him, he's strong and quick enough to make the grade, and just needs to be given the experience. There are no guarantees, but at some stage, with a young player, you have to make that sort of judgement. With us being pretty much safe now, and no place in Europe to fight for, it's an opportunity to give Edgar his chance. Taylor is stalling on his contract, and hasn't impressed this season.

 

What I like about Edgar is his ability on the ball. Unlike Taylor, he's comfortable in possession and can pass. With the way the game is developing, there's more emphasis on skill throughout the side, and Edgar has it.

 

 

Spot on Bob.

Agree again, Liam O. Feel completely the opposite to what was said there. Edgar looked nervous to me.

I felt better with what I saw from him by the end, than what I was expecting from him at the begining, nerves aside, I thought he did alright.

He didnt look confident at all.  And Taylor's often misplaced confidence is his downfall.

he didn't look confident at all? rubbish, as I said, I thought he had an element of confidence about him that I find lacking with Taylor, Taylor's misplaced confidence is something different all together...
