  1. Almost 6 years ago. If I didn’t laugh I’d cry. I got it wrong, but there's barely any difference. It was January 2014 the last time an opposition player was sent off, and December 2013 the last time we had any man advantage. Think it’s 18 PL red cards shown to us in a row now since the last one in our favour. 18 in a row......absolutely nothing suspect about that at all. How many pens for and against in the same time also - I know teams get bad decisions but the facts don't lie where we are concerned. It's not just the.numbers it's the context behind it. I'm fucking sick of seeing the opposition constantly being given the benefit of the doubt whereas any opportunity to show our players a red card and out it comes. It's like there's a secret fund all clubs pay into for the referees xmas party and we're too tight to chip in, or something. The penalties thing I'm not as concerned about, most controversial decisions against us that I can recall have mainly been against the top teams and everyone else has to deal with that.
  2. Yep, the usual suspects will already be moist at the japs eye in anticipation of the opportunity to embarrass themselves/the club/the north east in general.
  3. It's a cowards challenge that. If you're jumping for leverage you use both arms. He basically saw perez jumping and thought he'd stick a limb on him before he got clattered
  4. Definitely. If that was Newcastle breaking away he'd blow up to stop play immediately. He just loves controversy and making everything about him. Blokes a massive tit.
  5. That red card is hard to take because a) it's the same mike dean who thought luiz wasn't the last man when he brought demba ba down and b) their player actually tugged yedlins sleeve first when running past, it should have been a free kick to us. I wouldn't expect the ref to spot tbf but I don't understand why the sky commentators haven't after seeing 3 replays.
  6. Just seen this gem from Meth-head, giving it a massive "our fans" about the prospect of getting over 40k on boxing day: "The last third tier game to achieve it was the 1979 Sheffield derby at Hillsborough - if it were out our derby, we'd sell out easily too! "So, in reality, 40,000 against BCFC would be the highest single 'normal' game attendance in 50 odd years at this level." He's certainly been working hard at his mackem logic, and used "in reality" when he really meant "if you ignore reality." I'm not sure if he's just a construct of RTG at this point.
  7. Thought the same. He was a bit unlucky with one earlier in the season but that one on Saturday looked like a "proper" red from the tv replay. Saw a lot of online comments suggesting that there was a player in the way and the ref couldn't possibly have seen it. Maybe he told the fa he hadn't seen it properly and they rescinded it on that basis or something??
  8. That's very weird because they sure as shit didn't make a £40m transfer profit last summer like we did the summer before the championship.
  9. He's clearly full of shit like, but I'd rather have some of that than ashley/charnley talking the club down and making it sound like they're doing us a favour in running a professional football club at all.
  10. Looking at nufc twitter is horrendous at the minute. If there were as many people prepared to go after Ashley for ruining their club as there are prepared to go after the magpie group for daring to suggest a boycott then we'd have some protest group going on as a fanbase!!
  11. Just had a quick read of RTG and it's funny as f*** how upset they get when we win. I've read things like "they'll think they're going to get into the Champions League now" and "Lucky t***s as usual". It's amazing how much we actually effect their lives. When we lose it's celebration time for them, no matter what their own result is. When we win though they just can't seem to handle it at all and they start coming out with all the usual anti NUFC cliches. Proper ruined their weekend today. Are they doing that thing where if we win it's all down to ashley and we're a bunch of ingrates for not praising him?? It's peak sewpa dewpa mackem bantz!!
  12. It would mean being the best in England like it currently does. If some of the other teams want to become European teams, they are welcome to it. I'd rather be part of a domestic league that was about football than a European league that was all about money. Yup. I think people would get over it pretty quickly tbh. At least, fans of the clubs that don't join Europe. I still don't fully understand how it would be viable in the long run, though. The same European teams competing over and over will get boring, surely? How much of a travelling contingent will you realistically get week in, week out, which would affect atmosphere? It's all well and good relying on the TV money it produces but I honestly wouldn't be surprised to see clubs running back to their domestic leagues in less than a decade. Unfortunately, you know the arseholes in the FA would welcome them back with open arms. It would be properly s*** if your club did it. £100 tickets, crowds that were 90% tourists and not being able to do away games. A bit like following a plastic glory team like Barca or Real Madrid. Aye. The plans might be in place but it'll not go ahead like. Mainly because it's a really really shit short-sighted idea that even Fifa aren't stupid enough to endorse. I can't stand man utd or their fans but there is no way that their core support would tolerate that without a massive fucking boot off. That said, they'll have a ready made lower league team to watch instead by then anyway. Can't see many German teams going through with it either given that fans can effectively control their decision making. Shame like, I'd really like the idea of a competitive English league without the"super six" and all the hype that comes with it.
  13. Good. Tra to lot of them. Less money in our league is good for hounding out Ashley. Fingers crossed it's a step too far and begins modern football's implosion.
  14. I wouldn't begrudge anyone going along with their mates who support the local team for an afternoon at the match if they want to. Wouldn't do it personally but see no real harm in it. But wearing club colours is appalling behaviour, shows a complete disrespect to everyone there whilst also showing themselves up to be absolute bellends. Surprised no home fans have wanted to "have a word" with them about it either.
  15. ?? Don't know why but it's the way he leaves then walks back for a second go at the statue that gets me. Like he's annoyed the statue is still smiling after he put it in it's place or something. I needed that laugh!!
  16. That's not the point though. Maguire has his back to the ball, his eyes on perez and is fully intent on making sure he doesn't get past him to the ball. As soon as his arm comes out to block Perez it's a foul regardless of the ensuing theatrics and anywhere else on the pitch it would be given as such. No idea how anyone can try and deny their penalty mind or write it off as unlucky or unfortunate. It's just outrageously reckless from Yedlin, he's literally got his arms in the air like a rugby player trying to charge down a kick, what did he think was going to happen?!? The worst thing of all is the shot was going into row Z as well. whole thing was just so needless and self inflicted and perfectly sums up nufc at the minute.
  17. No. The dispute is contractual so what matters is the terms between the two parties. They could (and should) have dismissed Johnson but ultimately if the contracting party wishes to keep a contract going in spite of breach they can do. fair enough. I'm interested to see how this plays out. I find it extremely weird that over the years of modern football I havent seen players sacked (as far as i remember) and now sunderland have just sacked two. If if was that simple I wonder why no on else is doing it I think it's as simple as Chris R has explained it. Normally when players carry on like this it's either in the knowledge that they're important to the club and won't be let go or because they're trying to force a move and in actual fact would welcome the sack as it would leave them free to sign for the other club. And normally when a player isn't wanted because they're on a high wage but not contributing/shit/not considered for selection they've got enough common sense to go through the motions and fulfil their side of the contract or at least pretend to be injured I.e. bogarde, various nufc players in recent years. These silly fuckers didn't have the common sense to do either and were probably arrogant enough to not realise the reality of the situation and/or think they wouldn't get sacked because, as you said earlier, it very rarely happens in football. Footballers not normally being noted for their intelligence or sense of humility and all.
  18. Fuck me, we know they're rattled when that cunt gets wheeled out.
  19. I'm not an employment law expert but, if a player can't be arsed to turn up for work, doesn't make himself available for training and (crucially) doesn't provide a good reason for it, I can't see how he can expect to keep his lucrative contract for, you know, being a footballer. Not sure about the legality of suing him/his future club. Although it could be argued that sunderland have the right to sack him - and again, I'm not an employment law expert -nobody has actually forced them to do so and they could have chosen to keep him had they wanted to do so. In fact, I'd imagine threatening it publicly could be construed as a restraint of trade as the player seeks gainful employment following his sacking? If they don't want to keep him on/pay him, they surely can't stop somebody else from doing so??
  20. Classy club! I notice we’re now hilariously known as the ‘shop shouters’! It's the latest in a long line of the off-the-shelf, pre-packaged, plug-and-play anti-newcastle banter they love so much. See also "1992ers", "that might just be the saddest thing I've ever seen", all deciding to crow about "9-1" and of course the legendary "gravy-stained horse-punchers." It's all good for them as long as it's a simple soundbite that doesn't involve any wit or thought and can just be thrown out in any situation.
  21. As if they've gone and put the full story in the public domain surely the player is due a reasonable level of privacy, even if he has carried on like an absolute wanker. Is there anyone there with an ounce of professionalism?
  22. Not being funny but there's more than a whiff of "we didn't do our due diligence" about all this backtracking. Where have we heard that before?
  23. Tim Nice-But-Dim been seen a few times out and about in Newcastle too......He's being very naive and can have no complaints if somebody puts him on his arse to be fair. If that's true part of me is surprised that nobody has. But that said, I wouldn't recognise him from Adam if he was stood next to me in the queue at Fenwicks cafe.
  24. Joking aside, that Methven is an idiot like. What happens the next time a manager working for him prepares for a game and decides to deploy defensive tactics? He's made a rod for his, and their, back. And for what gain- a pretty cheap pop at Rafa that achieves nothing? What a moron!
