Benwell Lad Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 The responsibilities of the new head of communications (or some board member) at NUFC should include monitoring and where necessary challenging any lies, libel and mischevious innuendos written or aired about the club. Certain lazy newspapers, journalists and radio stations use such mis-reporting about Newcastle in leui of proper jounalism but seem to do so knowing that there will be no come back whatsoever. Some like Louise Taylor just have a huge chip on their shoulder and delight in spreading any lie or rumour which will tarnish the club or city. Being the cowards they are, most opinionate behind un-named and probably non-existant sources, but whenever possible they should be challenged and sued.

BlueStar Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 Is there a missing 'not' from this this bit of .com's take on it? Or am I misunderstanding something There's never been any suggestion that racist abuse of players was once widespread in this region - along with many other parts of the country. Our own recollections, other fan reminiscences and memoirs from the likes of Bobby Barnes and Viv Anderson cover the subject well. However... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ObiChrisKenobi Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 Don't suppose Andy Cole has a twitter or anything where he could be asked about his time here and could confirm this shit is... Well, shit? Would probably increase the chances of a retraction. There was a bit in 4-4-2 a few months ago where they were interviewing it, and he said he didn't enjoy his time up here as much as Manchester. Though it was simply down to the fact that people liked him too much and always wanted to talk about football, so he could never switch off! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 That's a canny massive lie to make up and print, even for a cunt arse Journalist. He's simply got no proof of this happening, simply down to that it didn't, therefore I hope the club do something and finally take these fukers to court and take the cunt for everything he's got and shouldn't have.

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 agree with someone that posted a comment on the article that the thick cunt probably mixed it up with the protests on the steps of the Milburn when AC was SOLD, not when he was signed.

Liam Liam Liam O Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 This article was amended on 26 May 2010 to remove a quote saying that there were protests outside the Newcastle ground when Andy Cole made his debut there in 1993, and that the player scored a hat-trick that day. A clarification covering the facts, and missing context, behind the quote will be published in the Guardian shortly. Cunts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

madras Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 i contacted chelsea with this through their enquiry email service....... Dear Simon, I have recently read the article in The Guardian Search for a British Asian football star kicks off to which you contributed. Would you tell me more about the protesting about Andy Cole at St James' park when he made his home debut, as I was there and have no recollection of it, nor have any of my friends who were there. In fact, to the contrary of what you appear to remember we were all rather excited about him, after all he was our record signing, made at a time when we were cruising along at the top of that division. The only time there was any protest was when Kevin Keegan stood outside St James' park to explain his decision to sell Andy in January 1995. Oh one more thing.....he scored one goal that day, not a hat trick! Yours got this by way of reply....Hi there I do apologize that you feel it necessary to make a complaint regarding this situation Should you wish to make a formal complaint regarding this it needs to be done in writing to the communications at: Chelsea Football Club Stamford Bridge Fulham Road London SW6 1HS. Again I do apologize you have felt it necessary to have to formally complain and thank you for your email. Kind regards Luis and have just sent this of......Hi again, Many thanks for your prompt reply although I had hoped it would be from Mr Taylor. I have no wish to make a formal complaint to Chelsea Football Club about this matter as I don't see it as your fault for the viewpoints of one of your employees. I would have contacted him directly about this matter if I knew how and your website is the only way I could bring my concerns to his attention. Many thanks again. wonder if i'll get the man himself ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
