Thomson Mouse

We shouldn't be surprised, Mike Dean is always like this, he's one of those refs who thinks he's bigger than the game. Heskey was offside. Bassong committed one foul - tugging at his shirt way outside the box. Heskey then fouled Bassong. Heskey then fell over in the box. There was another player covering, so Bassong wan't the last man, nor was the original foul or the 'foul' in the box a " clear goalscoring opportunity". Kirkland's fouls on Carroll was worse and WAS a foul. Why no red card? Why was Carroll booked for diving in the 83rd minute, when he was clearly fouled? Clear penalty. So yes, you're the only person who thought the ref did well for the penalty. Also, why was Cattermole not sent off for the fould on Beye? Not that any of this hides what was an incredibly poor and disappointing performance by us. Oh and watch the football first highlights, if it's the same ones I watched the commentators were shocking, can anyone tell me who Dean the co-commentator was?

Surely this would depend on what position they play.

They've combined the sports depts for The Journal, Sunday Sun and Chronic anyway. He's a grade A cock and I'll be happy to see one of the last bastions of Shepherd gone. Don't buy this "it's a hard job" shit, he had his head buried up Shepherds arse. Mini-Lee is a cock as well. Spoke to him on the phone a few times, arse and elbow spring to mind. I think Luke Edwards wil be given the top job, hopefully. He's an excellent reporter. Him and Neil Farrington should be the future of Thomson House. If they are, I might even change my username.

I may be wrong but don't they have association with Northumberland through the Hotspur family or something like that?

I didn't. Might have a look. Still like the other 'slogan' as well, that's not being critical of your otherwise excellent range of t-shirts though.

While the Nile Ranger t-shirt is superb, could we have a more conservatively coloured one with say "bumbaclart duppy mannnn" on it? It's the colour that puts me off the other one.

The clubs statement is wrong, it was not racism. Like the way you're suddenly seeing club statements as coorect.

Because the mainstream opinion is not always the right opinion. For example, most people think Gordon Brown is not at fault for our problems, apparently. This has been completely thrown out of proportion, partly as a result of Mido's childish cries of racism. It's not, but some people no matter what point there is, decide to go against it. I'm not going to discuss another thread with you on this one, but you are spot on with the bit in bold.

Why is it that some people wwill do anything to go against mainstream opinion?

Why are people STILL talking about it being racist? IT'S NOT RACIST. Why are people embarrassed about some mutants jumping up and down about it? It wasn't about his religion, not sure why he's brought that up, unless he's points scoring. As someone has already said, he learly doesn't take his religion seriously. As for putting off arab buyers

Pointless reacting until we know what it was the were chanting. If it was the Mido stuff, not sure how that would stand up with the 'racial chanting' accusation. Have you ever been arrested and subsequently charged with racial chanting by police? I haven't. Morons. Nope. Wonder how it was just those two though?

Apart from anything else, I love the Daily Mail getting on their high horse about racist abuse. On top that Wullie, there are so many things wrong with that article it's untrue.

It is quite laughable with the Yanks, but it is a bit strange that the Aussies don't do it bearing in mind that they are an even younger country in our terms Yeah, I can just see them pronouncing themselves as "Convo Brit-Australian" loud and proud. That's the bit of their identity they struggle with. There are sizeable popultaions of Croatians, Greeks and Thai expats in Oz. Don't here the same thing from them.

After the fuss made last year I'd be amazed if anyone was unaware that it get dredged up again if the bomb chants were repeated. That's why I don't accept it was innocent banter, at best it was downright stupid everything considered, which is why I don't see the need to bend over backwards defending such daft actions. Have a long hard look at the people who caused the 'fuss'. Wwheeessss keeeeeyyyyyssss Louise from the guardian? Correct both times. Certain people with agendas as well as the usually 'outraged about something, life isn't fair' smoggies. Nothing happened then, nothing will happen now, because people know that it is a storm in a teacup. Even Southgate has said as much.

Everyone else? I'm not bowing to the man, just understanding him. Now where's that wipe gone, I need to get the shit off my nose.

Dave I'm surprised he thought that about you, especially as in the past you've shown a lot of intolerance towards people who don't seem to get things or make grammatical errors. Not sure why he would think that. TBF to Dave, it wasn't that bad. I suppose sometimes the written word doesn't always come over how you mean it.

Abusing someone on the basis of their nationality. Didn't you follow the quotes? Clearly not. The australian bit or the Mido bit? http://www.newcastle-online.org/nufcforum/index.php/topic,58121.msg1586637.html#msg1586637 The Australian bit. I was merely pointing out that abusing someone on the basis of their race is not the same as abusing someone on the basis of their nationality, even though both are examples of bigotry. Geddit? I do. Don't get uppity, just wanted to understand.

Is that a 'if I don't know, I don't care' statement? It's a 'if you read the OP you'll see I'd rather your email address was correct, but if not, just turn off all notifications to stop emails bouncing' statement. :toke:

Maybe an unusual situation, but here we go: You've got my work e-mail address (didn't get an e-mail), but as I'm emigrating and my personal e-mail is a paid for msn account I won't have a valid e-mail (for this site) for maybe a month or two. Can you suspend my e-mail, but not access for a bit please? We emigrate on the 12th of Jan and I'm counting on sites like this to keep me informed. Ta.

I was just getting over Dave's raging Xenophobia and gingeritis when I found out fredbob thinks all Muslims are Paedophiles and Ozziemandias thinks all football supporters who sing are thick! I can't believe such ignorance and stereotyping is allowed on here tbh!!! Shameful It's mental, someone will stick up for Shepherd soon sorry, that was aimed at Dave and what he posted, it wasn't a general question.
