Imagine telling Martin Luther King and Rosa Parks that the Montgomery Bud Boycott wouldn’t work? “Well we’ve had Jim Crow laws for 100 years so it’s obviously not going to change anything is it? Let’s just keep getting the bus and be treated like shit”. It took MLK a year for the boycott to work, costing the bus company a fortune in lost revenue before the Supreme Court ruled it illegal. Sacrifices are never going to be easy. If it means not watching Newcastle for a game or two to send a message that may actually make Ashley sit up and notice - you’ve got to get behind it.

The two photos compared are even more pertinent after KK talked about this moment last night. He fronted up to hundreds of fans booing him for the first time at Newcastle. How did he respond? With dignity and class. Two words I’d never associate with Ashley; demonstrated perfectly tonight.

No. It is, though, an odd example to pick to signify the joy of the Keegan era. If I recall correctly that game was the time he decided he had had enough. I remember seeing him at the game and thinking how miserable he looked (think he was wearing a black woolly hat). He said afterwards (not the full story I’m sure) that he just felt sorry for the Spurs manager (Francis?) rather than feeling the joy he felt he should have done. Must have been close to his final game. That’s why he picked us beating Leicester 7-1, not Spurs

Genuinely class

Can’t wait for this

He’s great isn’t he? He’s stirring a passion in me I’ve not had for Newcastle for years

I never understood or really forgave KK for leaving us with Ashely, then suing ‘us’ but see it clear as day now. I still wish he took them on Rafa style, maybe we would have been rid of him by now. It’s our fault too. We scared the shit out of Ashley with the Hull protests. We should have kept it up, but we didn’t.

All of that is painful to read. I’m genuinely furious. I was 14 when Keegan came back, so I don’t remember his first spell as I was too young. I’d never been so happy as a Newcastle supporter when he came back. Even though we were great under Sir Bobby and I loved it when he was manager...there was just something different about Keegan. I can honestly say, those 8 months he was in charge were bliss (even when we struggled to get a win early doors) and it felt we could go anywhere with him. He managed to turn an awful team full of a below average played into a decent one, playing good football within a few weeks/months. To this day, I still feel that having Keegan as a manger, like many of you had in the 90s, was stolen from me. It genuinely still hurts. I’ve wanted Ashley out ever since, and when that day comes, I hope I can love NUFC with the passion I used to have.

Nice work

I’m at work and can’t get out unfortunately. Imagine if we had a few Magpie Group etc there to stand up and say “we won’t stop until he goes”. That may throw the cat amongst the pigeons

I’m late So you can add one more to the crowd in 5 mins

one of Wellers best imo- tho its a takeaway curry. You're right of course been a while and memory warped. Makes more sense I suppose. Great song. Tony Blackburn refused to play it on the radio at the time as it was “too violent”. Probably my favourite Jam song. The lyrics are outstanding. “They smelt of pubs, and Wormwood Scrubs and too many right wing meetings”

I’d pay towards it. Get it on Grey or Northumberland Street

A signing!

I’ve thought that many a time. Surely one would think we’d have continued challenging? Perhaps not. Maybe we’d have continued on our downward spiral?

Non-illegal forms of protest are the best. Could bring the entire country to a standstill if we "Occupy Zebra crossings". And people take everything off the shelves go to the counter then say, oh actually I don’t want this now. That would take a lot to time for them to restack etc Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah, basically this. Basically, fuck the pair of you. It’s you being fucked mate, by big fat Mike. Seriously, why would you go? I get it but I will never ever understand it. Fucking madness that even a doctor wouldn’t be able to treat. Of course you dont undetstand it, you're a patronising Keeganite who dipped into a relatively successful period of our club's history, and back out again when we weren't as good. Stick to bragging about your motor cars or whatever, but don't ever try to lecture me about being an NUFC fan. I can’t help if my support of NUFC coincided with SJH and KK, that said there is no way I’d ever support this fake NUFC even if I hadn’t grew up on the KK years. Purely from a stupidity level more than anything which you would have to be to support the club under Ashley willingly. It’s Sheer madness. Again families and kids and older people get a pass. I will stick to my cars as well, I get more joy watching birds shit on them than NUFC under Ashley, at least that shit can be washed away... For what it’s worth, I’d support this club outside of the football league if it was still a football club, you know, trying to compete and using its resources to do so. It doesn’t matter how good or bad we are, that’s not what it’s about. Today though I’d rather support Gateshead, which I do so that shuts your gloryhunting reposte up. Oh and Dave, sadly you are bang on, but howay man, paying top dollar for this? It’s Trump levels of stupid. Again families with kids and kids and older fans get a pass. Anyway fuck it, that’s me out, I honestly couldn’t give a fuck about NUFC these days and it’s only this forum that keeps me even thinking about football. I’m off to watch some birds shit on my car... Maybe some ST holders can give me a sponge to clean it off as their spines are made up of such material so plenty to go around... Insanity....over and over again. You know the rest.

We will all be behind it, but we're not really a fan group. Probably deserves its own thread though tbf. We probably should. The more the merrier surely? A united front; with everyone. I’ve already seen some bitching by some groups on Twitter that weren’t ‘invited’. Surely each group/forum/fanzine can ask to join? Let’s get this going!

Genuinely just creased at that
