on a general note about policing at games. at SJP until a couple of years ago the cops had it sussed,particularly against the inbreds but recently it seems like they've been a shambles.

 

do northumbria or durham constabulary do games at the sty ?

 

Cleveland police were there as well I think as Northumbria's horses are out of action for a long time so the cleveland horses are being used up here (they were used after Sunderland v Boro and Sunderland Arsenal anyway).

Kinda explains the mayhem if anyone else has ever witnessed the stupidity at Boro with the horses.

Desreves mentioning that tons of fans got in to the away end yesterday after bunging the turnstile operators. Some charvas behind me slipped him £20 each and got in.

 

There certainly was a hell of a lot more people than seats I noticed, shocking that they did that!

It wasnt just one or two either, there was lots of it going on with two people going in on one turnstile click. The kids behind me said they were going to go as high as £60 but the mackem operator accepted £20.

 

Incredible really, that in this day and age where safety is paramount, that this is still allowed to go on.

I had a pretty bad injury on my leg 13 month ago , and have had 3 operations since , as I was walking to the metro station on the way back , I decided to go to the side out of the way as people got restless and began pushing the police back. I horse which weighed about 50 stone came down the bank ( being pushed by our own fans ) and absolutley threw me back and i bashed me leg ( same leg as operation ) against the bollard , only to be whacked by one of the police with a batton , I tried explaining I needed to get out of the way so I could make sure me leg was not as bad as I originally thought , only to be linked either arm by two riot police and threw against a wall and told to sit the f*** down and stop working meself.

 

I thought the police and stewards , inside and outside the ground were a total shambles today and the chant " You dont know what your doing " summed there work today up.

This is what happens when you are singing 'If you hate Newcastle, have ago!'

Because no Sunderland player, director or official would ever choose to live in the place (and lets be fair who could blame them) they have traditionally prerferred Newcastle or Durham as a place to live and socialise.

Newcastle people have generally bitten their lips and remained civilised and dignified when these mackem "celebs" are seen around town.

It goes without saying that no Newcastle player could ever safely set foot in Sunderland (a ludicrous comparison I know) but I think that as long as they treat Newcastle supporters in the way they do and their mangement and directors turn a blind eye to the problem, then perhaps we should let them know they are no longer welcome in pubs,clubs and restaurants north of the Tyne.

FOOTBALL louts hurled fireworks and coins at police officers and rival fans in a violent Wear Tyne derby match yesterday.

 

A total of 29 people were arrested before and after Sunderland’s 2-1 win over Newcastle United . . . and police say more arrests may follow after calling on the public’s help to identify other trouble-making fans.

 

Northumbria Police say the trouble began when more than 1000 Magpie supporters travelled by train and Metro to Wearside, instead of using free coaches laid on by the club.

 

One officer from British Transport Police broke his wrist as he tried to separate rival fans near St Peter’s Metro Station before the match.

 

Several fans threw fireworks — including one at a mounted officer which left the horse with minor burns — and over the course of the day there were a number of incidents of coins and other missiles thrown at police officers and among rival fans.

 

Lynsey Richardson, 27, of Hebburn, South Tyneside, watched in horror as Newcastle fans pushed an elderly man as he tried to get on the Metro at Pelaw, Gateshead.

 

She said: “The train was full of Newcastle fans when it arrived and Sunderland fans who tried to get on were pushed back. One man appeared to be in his 60s but they just pushed him too.”

 

Despite the chaotic scenes before and after the match, Chief Superintendent Neil Mackay, head of the force’s Operations Unit said: “The vast majority of fans behaved well . . . 29 arrests out of a capacity crowd is still low.”

 

Some Sunderland fans blamed football bad boy Joey Barton for fanning the flames of tension after he was seen taunting home fans.

 

The 26-year-old was warming up on the touchline when he became embroiled in a row with fans, stewards and police.

 

After refusing stewards’ requests to move away he was pelted with coins and water bottles before police officers intervened.

 

The former jailbird then sparked fury by kissing the Newcastle United badge on his training top.

 

One Sunderland fan ran onto the pitch to confront Newcastle goalkeeper Shay Given after Kieron Richardson scored the winner for the Black Cats and rival fans surged onto the pitch and exchanged punches.

 

Sunderland fan Tony Hughes, 44, said: “Barton has got a lot to answer for. He intentionally riled the fans by not moving away from in front of the crowd and then kissing his badge.

 

“He says he has turned over a new leaf but he will never change.”

 

Martyn McFadden, editor of the Black Cats fanzine A Love Supreme, said: “Barton should have been rehabilitated before coming back into the first team for Newcastle.

 

“He is a good footballer but has a bad attitude.”

 

However, Newcastle fanzine The Mag writer Billy Furious said: “Joey’s our boy. He stands by us so we’ll stand by him.”

 

 

What an appalling article! As I said earlier any trouble on the Metro was purely down to Northumbria police who put us all on a Metro and then didn't police it or any of the Mackem stations we passed through! As for Barton not moving away, he's entitled to warm up and the stupid Mackem twat who tried to blame Barton for his own fans throwing coins and bottles defies belief! Fucking inbred cunts.

Looker that fucker having a tab. :lol:

 

You should have seen the bogs at half time, loads of people hiding away for a smoke and a few people openly doing lines of coke.

 

Aye, junkhead said he was going to be there, wonder if the firework was actually a Bulgarian flare?

where did they expect barton to warm up then?

safc fans on 3 sides of the ground, if he'd went to where the nufc fans were he'd have been seen as instigating trouble bypassing mackems too ffs.

 

Let's be straight. The manager of Sunderland is as much a thug as Barton has ever been, intentionally ruining a fellow professional's carreer and betraying his country to boot. On top of that he regarded yesterday's violence as just "high spirited fans enjoying themselves".

If crowds are allowed to be judge and jury and dictate what players and officials can and can not do will Keane be asked to stay out of sight and away from the touch line at SJP in case he infuriates the home fans ?

I think not.

The only real comment I have to make about yesterday was that what was, I'm sure, a great day for Sunderland, was overshadowed by their club looking like a laughing stock due to that cringeworthy pitch invasion. They've made themselves look like a smaller club than they already were.

Lets go back to shutting our grounds to each other on derby day...

 

.......... or even more radical get a certain Premier League club to control it's stadium in a modern and legal manner and not continuously turn a blind eye to the behaviour of their thug fans, or allow turnstile attendents to take bungs to allow ticketless supporters in thereby contravening all safety regulations.
