Not too bothered about it only because there's bigger things to worry about but it just goes to underline the total lack of professionalism and the general couldn't care less attitude running throughout the squad. Imagine the likes of Roy Keane or Tony Adams congratulating an opposition player for scoring a goal against them in any game let alone a derby. It just wouldn't happen. As a side note it's been sad to see the decline of Krul over the years. He was better as a 17 year old 10 years ago than he is now.

Here's the template our lot need to follow; http://m.bleacherreport.com/articles/2406338-ac-milan-fan-protests-may-accelerate-sale-talk-for-club

This match doesn't really count as it's only a bonus game so I'm not really sure why Sky are showing it.

When I first started going Arthur Cox was the manager so nice seen a fair few managers come and go but Carver us without doubt the worst of the lot. Never seen such an uninterested, disorganised looking rabble in my life. I could quite easily see us go for the rest if the season without even scoring another goal. The Ardiles times were grim but it was basically a team full of kids and the football was pretty exciting at times.

Yet these same fans will boo the team off each half such is their backing lol that's what f***ing gets me. If anyone dares to lose the ball "f*** off useless c***!' yeah supporting the lads tbh Exactly. We're hardly the most supportive crowd these days anyway so whether there's 10k or 50k there to support the players it matters not a bit. Then there's the question of whether the players deserve any support anyway after the latest cowardly performance from them (and the head coach). And besides all this I couldn't care less if we do get relegated. The last 3 seasons of PL football have been soul destroying anyway plus if we did go down Ashley would lose a boat load of money and his sports shop wouldn't get the same global exposure on telly which would please me. In fact I can't see any negatives to a boycott. The only problem is you only need to look around SJP on a match day to see that most of the gutless b******s in the stands these days haven't hot the gumption to do it.

I'm a season ticket holder and I won't be going. Didn't bother with the last home game either.

Pulled in a crowd of 1,453 for their match against Whitley Bay tonight.

Just been reading about the Blackpool fans attacking the directors box last night. Hmmm.

Would be great to get Rangers fans on board. Let's face it they're far more proactive than we are.

Would be nice to think that a 5th straight loss to them could be the catalyst to better things and finally get the fans off their backside and do something about this. A bit like when they beat us in the play offs in 1990 it could turn out to be a massive blessing in disguise.

£52 or you can get a severely restricted view where you can barely see the pitch at the back of the away end for £47. Pretty sure they've got those prices the wrong way round.

Great idea. Should have been done years ago. I'll definitely take part in this but no doubt there'll still be 40,000+ sheep inside the ground by kick off.

Bollocks. It's people like you who turn forums like this into one-dimensional echo chambers. We've got people claiming the media are biased and not representing the true fan at the very same time I just watched Look North vox-boxing a fan coming out of the SOL and giving Ashley both barrells, summing up in a few words what the issue is - "nothing will change until Ashley is gone" or words to that effect. You've clearly not read a single one of my posts, otherwise you wouldn't be claiming I write drivel - it won't take anyone long to figure out my posts are pretty much consistent with what that fan said. But I'll tell you what, "Wallsend Mag", I'd certainly prefer to have a drink with an open minded mackem than 10 Mags who think like you - where anyone who posts anything slightly off message is "clearly a Mackem troll". I'd tell you to f*** right off for that blatant insult, if I didn't think that's exactly the reaction you were probably hoping for. You're a Mackem troll. End of. You sign up the day after you beat us and then post all this rubbish to try and get a bite. Near enough 100 posts in your first 24 hours? Thank god the schools are back next week. You're a waste of my time and energy, end of. You're probably the sort of fan who accuses their mam of being a Mag if she serves you red sauce. In my experience, the only people who try to insult posters on a web forum by claiming they're on their school holidays, is your common garden troll. If you've got anything to say in your defence, or if you can actually come up with an example of anything I've said that's even remotely as trollish as your efforts here, let's hear it. If your next move is going to be just another tedious remark, don't bother. theres a clue. He's let his guard down a few times now the thick twat.

If they did (which I doubt), it can only have been based on blind hope. There was absolutely nothing in Ashley's record to suggest it would be anything other than Carver or a donkey like Steve Bruce. Not sure what you mackems have got against Bruce. He done a steady job but his derby record and the fact he's from up here are the only reasons I can think of why you lot would never give him a chance. You've been fighting relegation ever since sacking him.

Mako is clearly a Mackem troll. Registers the day after they beat us and then proceeds to write 87 posts of utter drivel that only a thick red and whiter could. Best ignored and he'll go away.

They've beaten us 4 times in a row man and it hasn't shook the apathy out of the crowd. Nobody cares anymore. Go to the next home game and you'll see that for yourself.

Like has been said a few posts up, 6 pages in the pre match thread in what used to be the most exciting, nerve jangling game of the season says it all. I think a lot of people are at the past caring stage now and it'll take more than the bi annual 2 bald men fighting over a comb derby to stir the passions up.

It’s unbelievable what this regime have done to our fans isn’t it? Totally saddening and sickening. The fat w***** has literally squeezed the passion out of the majority of us. I usually receive about 20 messages now either by text or on Sleazebook asking for spares and I only had a few this time around which says it all. The build-up has been the most low-key I have ever know. Can't believe it's come to this where I can't even be arsed with the derby. In the past I've finished with girlfriends because they've moaned on that I spent too much time and money following NUFC, I even quit a good job because they wouldn't give me time off to go to Roma away. Been all over Europe watching them (bumped into your good self many times in the process) and now I just can't be bothered with it all as when you sit down and think about it, it's just a pointless excercise supporting them now. I'm not bothered about winning trophies, no Newcastle fan should be, but the fact the club admit that they don't even try to compete (Leicester away being the most recent example) and that mid table in the league with a nice profit is the ultimate goal makes the whole thing a waste of time. It's uncompetitive and in all honesty totally boring. No wonder the crowd just sit in complete silence at home games these days because win, lose or draw in the grand scheme of things it makes no difference so there's nowt to shout about. It won't change until the fat parasite is gone but that's going to take years and by then it'll be too late.

Never felt so underwhelmed going into the derby in over 30 years of following NUFC. We can barely put a team out and the outcome is inevitable. We'll lose again and I'll be over it within half an hour, in years gone by it took me a week to get a defeat to them out my system. Think it's time I called it a day in all honesty. If I can't get myself up for this one it's probably time to start asking why I even bother anymore. Just no emotional attachment to it all whatsoever.

Tony Cunningham was the first black player I can remember seeing play for us but because I was so young I didn't really notice any racial abuse directed at him. A bit later than that I remember being at Franz Carrs home debut (v Watford I think) in 1991 and I was in the Labour club with my dad and a group of lads were singing "He's black, he's broon, he plays for the Toon, Franz Carr, Franz Carr" and nobody even battered an eyelid. Even later than that I remember I little ditty about Kieron Dyer which thankfully didn't really get off the ground except for a few people at away games which went "We've got Kieron Dyer he's a little flyer, from Ipswich Town, he's slightly brown". No doubt casual racism still exists but that's the last time I heard a players skin colour mentioned in a song about them.

Fair play to the Rangers fans mind. They've been right on his back ever since he got involved with them. Compare and contrast to our pathetic fanbase.

Have you only watched NUFC for 8 weeks or what? Ridiculous statement. Can I have your username and password to this (secret?) database that contains these thoughts about who is interested in who? Tiote has been garbage this season but there really is no need to rewrite history. Oh great, Tiotefan99 returns. He's s***, he's been utterly useless for the best part of 3 seasons and has hopefully played his last game in the Premier League. History suggests had any manager shown genuine interest in him he'd be long gone. One day I sincerely hope you retrieve the username and password to common sense. The majority of teams in this league would still probably buy him. He is an player established in England and is seemingly decently rated everywhere outside of this forum. The top sides will definitely not have interest, but looking at some of the poorer players and money that is cycled throughout the lower Premiership sides, do people really think he cannot be bought for 5 million or more? You have to remember that this forum was probably the only place Vernon Anita was rated as well.
