Happy Face Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 if negative stuff (regardless of being at the game or not) is getting broadcast about on the radio/tv it's going to make it much easier for the media etc...to build up the crisis talk writing on message boards is unlikely to contribute to that anywhere near as much, is what i was saying I reckon hacks scour boards like this for a whiff of discontentment then make up "club source" stories that cater to them. maybe so...i'd personally argue people calling national football phone ins and voicing discontent would spread a negative view of the club far easier that's all i'm saying I guess that's why they had a pop at those too. repeats self - at the start i said i could see the picking at phone ins but not so much message boards, my opinion you read any of their match reports recently? very subjective and negative as the defeats mount...as one of the most well known fan sites about they're hardly helping are they if websites have such an effect? There's very little in the match reports I find to disagree with. The shite ratio with this place must be 99:1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The s**** ratio with this place must be 99:1 i didn't say there was anything to disagree with did i? i'm paraphrasing here 'cause i can't be arsed to look them up but phrases such as "continued our seemingly unstoppable slide into oblivion" are subjective, not objective reporting on the matches if they're calling for bunker mentalities and to drop the negativity then maybe they should start at home Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
indi Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g162/indigonufc/batphone.gif Seriously though, it's a bit hypocritical for them to have a whole website dedicated to giving their opinion on NUFC and then say that other people should keep theirs to themselves, don't you think? A lot of people talk a lot of bollocks when it comes to nufc, but unfortunately they're entitled to their opinion. nufc.com sometimes seem to get a bit too big for their boots and instead of arguing their point, simply resort to telling people what to think and expecting them to accept that unquestioningly, due to who they are, rather than what they've got to say.

Happy Face Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 I think .com are always very careful to only give their opinion of games and performances in them. They never comment on managerial, board or training choices, at least not until the club has moved on from them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Consortium of one Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Well, I'd love to give my opinion on this matter and a myriad of matters regarding the team but I can't because I can't see the games in person. mackems.gif Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugely pompous is what I'd say. And I fail to see what anything written on any website can influence any match either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some members have met Mort, but not representing the website as such. Even so, I don't see how that means we are not independent. In fact considering I paid for the entire fucking hosting myself this year I find that suggestion pretty offensive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mort contacted every single major Newcastle website or fanzine, and met with representatives from all, including us, .com, True Faith over tea and biscuits, listened to some comments on general operational questions such as questions about the Box Office, ticket allocations, and then took email addresses so that club representatives can ask questions as and when they have them. They've contacted us twice since to ask about ticket allocations away at Chelsea and Brum. Nothing sinister. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
