Benwell Lad Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Our team is struggling against it's worst ever injury crisis and some terrible refereeing decisions, our manager is in hospital awaiting heart surgery, our senior management team are desperately trying to create some stability and we have 13 of the most important games in our history coming up. So what do the so called "Newcastle United Supporters Club" do - they organise a protest march to be played out for the benefit of TV cameras and the London based tabloids immediately before an important game. You just couldn't make it up ! Does anyone suppose the supporters of West Brom, Middlesbrough, Portsmouth, Tottenham, Bolton, Sunderland or anyone else may be contemplating doing the same ? Not likely - they'll be supporting their teams as normal and having (yet another) laugh at our expense. No doubt the protest march will attract the usual self important rent-a-quotes and (non match attending) slack jawed charvas to grin, sing and provide the usual soundbites for the nation's amusement. Sky TV and certain hacks must be salivating at the prospect already. Could I suggest that instead of a distracting protest march, Newcastle fans do something REALLY extraordinary like getting to the stadium 15 minutes early and creating a rocking atmosphere to help our team win a match which will be the first of 13 "cup finals" we will play between now and the end of the season.

Agree 100% - a group of us were having a serious discusiion about the NUSC. General opinion is that they are just doing more damage than good. Some lads are so fed up with the blinkered attitude of some that after years of collecting anything and everything to do with NUFC they have no intention of buying such as 'True Faith'. General opinion I am guaging is that the fans can see the difficulties the management have had are happy for them to try and sort things out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
junkhead Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 people have the right to express their discontent at how the club is being run, you have the right to not attend and post shit on a message board.. seems fair enough for me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The man talks sense, I'm all for people being able to do whatever they want but when it starts to effect the performance of my beloved side, then they've gone too far, if you want Ashley out so much go and do it outside of the Sports Direct head offices but he can't sell it anyway so its pointless.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Completely agree. Yes, people have 'the right' to protest, whatever that really means - but that doesn't mean we have to just accept their actions without criticism. IMO this rally is completely idiotic and the timing is horrible. We just got our first win for ages on the board, confidence might be on the up, the manager is in hospital awaiting critical surgery and the best we can do is hang around the monument providing the tabloids with more shit to print about Newcastle. Let's just hope not many people actually turn up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Venkman Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 agree with the OP. i've been passive towards this nusc thing so far and i listened to the stream with interest to see what they had to say for themselves. but this protest is an abomination, they're showing themselves to be just as clueless and misguided, if not more, than they claim ashley is. have they actually mentioned what the point of the rally is yet btw?

TRon Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 If they feel the need to protest, that's up to them, it's what they are all about, all noise and no solutions. The running of the football club has to go on in the meantime and I'm happy that Ashley has returned to the ground and that Llambias is opening up communication with the local press more. There's a long way to go and there are plenty of things which need improving but no one else is going to provide the answers. No billionaire arabs, no American tycoon, no Nigerian consortiums and definitely not a rabble of protesting fans. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest SellSholaFor1M Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Here's another excuse in the making from the Superfans, just like Keith and his banner were to blame for the Hull loss. Its before the fucking game and people are royally pissed off because they care for the club, if you dont want to support them or you have no issues, dont fucking go, just shut your whinging hole and let those who are unhappy do what they want to do. What does have a bearing on the game is whinging bastards booing or jeering the likes of Shola, Geremi, Enrique, Butt, Duff or whoever has to play in this team because of the injuries and because of the shit recruitment of the pricks in charge. How about all those actually going supporting the team 100% and not waiting for a misplaced pass or a shit corner to vent their frustrations at a player they dislike, just like they do on messageboards 24/7.

He tried selling it but couldn't do you want him to give away half of his worth for nowt, would you? The protest is because people are deeply unhappy about the way their beloved club is being ran and unlike the fucking saps, they are actually trying to do something about it because they're clever enough to realise that we are the clubs greatest asset. Now if everyone was a Superfan and "just turned up no matter who owns it, who plays for us" they could asset strip and take the piss for as long as it takes to find a buyer, that is beyond fucking stupid, but its the type of thing they're having to deal with by utter muppets with myopia. He could sell it if he wasnt wanting so much for it and if he continues to run it the way he is, the price is only going to come down. The NUSC claim to speak on behalf of the fans, they'll speak on behalf of their members, so why not join up and give them yours? I applaud them for doing what they're doing, but they're destined to fail because there are too many halfwits, too many opinions and too many people who are now apathetic.
