doublecrown Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Is this communist Russia circa 1930 or what? Collective punishment, nice. +1 on this. Granted, Joey's taken the boss-bashing a bit too far, but a blanket ban on twitter for everybody on the team is very harsh. What's next, having their phone lines tapped?

biggs Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Fwiw the Lee ryder article is a load of horse shit spread by the arseholes to justify giving him a free transfer imho. Honest to god wish we had a journalist with some balls at Thompson house who isnt afraid to get on the wrong side of the bastards and make the articles a bit more interesting .

Dave Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 They get frozen out of the club if they do, it's been proven a few times now. The local papers simply can't afford to lose out on NUFC coverage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Geordie Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Dave - NUFC need the local press - it's up to the latter to show some balls instead of sycophantic agenda driven rubbish. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 The local press need NUFC far more. Just look at the last couple of days. Ashley just about has SSN in his pocket. EDIT: Not that i'm trying to justify it. Ryder is cowardly scum, perfect for the job. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Dave - NUFC need the local press - it's up to the latter to show some balls instead of sycophantic agenda driven rubbish. I totally agree, I just think it's unlikely. Isn't it pretty much accepted that newspaper sales/revenues are falling generally? They just won't risk pissing anyone off.

Guest Craig-NUFC Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 If a local paper that is already struggling to stay in business no longer gets any NUFC news, then a large proportion of its readership will stop buying the paper and they'll have to shut it down. If NUFC don't have the local press, they'll carry on running business as usual. They'll just find another source to say what they want to say.

Disco Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Indeed, it's the main reason most buy the local rags I'd imagine, it's certainly not for the quality of journalism. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Geordie Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 You could argue that if NUFC didn't bother with the local press, then they are further alienating supporters and questions would then have to be asked. I'd like The Journal or The Chron to show some balls, but it's not gonna happen. At least Total Sport allowed views from both sides of the fence during Tues night's show.

thewellander Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 "Barton may have manfully battled both his addictions and his anger, and even his most venomous critics have to note a more than passing attempt to build on the wreckage of a shockingly violent past, but there is not much point in dismissing the possibility of fresh examples of recidivism." I would have said that before he punched someone in the middle of a match last season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Crooks Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Far too much hyperbole in the press about him being our best player last season....Best English/offensive player perhaps. He wasn't the best though. From a non-pragmatic point of view of course. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may choose to stand perfectly still. It's my right...just a thought He's stubborn, but he's fighting a losing battle. That is his right under his contract. Not sure he will do when Ashley refuses his name on the squad registration which will surely be the only outcome of the past few days, if they wont let him train with the players they sure as fuck wont let him play alongside them.
