Tiresias Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 What a way to say goodbye. This club's treatment of him has been disgraceful, but now he can be remembered for coming back from cancer and this game rather than what threatened to be a long decline. I was one of those that was sick of how poor he had been for a while and I stand by those, but he's always been a great guy and he can finish on a high. Only sad he didn't have his spiderman mask Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varadi Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Absolutely fucking brilliant today, man of the match by a mile. Have such massive respect for the man, genuine hero. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Jonas was brilliant today and I wouldn't mind him getting another year as long as it's as back-up and not a first choice starter. If he isn't offered another year then today was the perfect way for him to go out. I wanted him to score more than any other player because of what he's been through medically and his poor treatment by the club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 He should leave the club today as a hero. Tbh if I was manager of have dubbed him straight after the goal, as he deserved a huge standing ovation. Maybe If he has coach or managerial ambitions I hope he will come back one day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 The fact that Jonas returned from cancer to save us from relegation is one of the few moments to move me to tears in football. It was true storybook stuff we saw today. A season of shit finished with one fantastic moment of history that will long outlive in the memory anything that has happened since Ashley bought the club. In 50 years I will be talking about this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shak Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Was a man mountain today - he got us over the line. I hope he gets a new contract. Nah, I'd rather see him go out on a high. He was outstanding today and it's fantastic to see him playing again, but in reality he isn't good enough at this level and forcing him into the team next season out of sentiment would probably sour the memories a bit. Let him leave and be remembered for today Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPL Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Have to say I had my doubts when I saw him in the line-up today. But fantastic performance, I agree that it probably is the right time to leave the club, however only if the right players come in, and with the current regime thats doubtful so a 1-2 year contract may not be the worse thing at the moment.

ChrisMcQuillan Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 He was an absolute colossus today. Unplayable, and he's not been like that for a good few years. As much as I'd like to see see him play next season, if this is his last game, what a fucking high to go out on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtype Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 I had thought that football was no longer capable of giving me moments like the one Jonas gave me today. We've all had mixed feelings about him since he had been in decline for a while even before his illness, but hopefully this moment washes all of that away and allows us to remember him as a club legend. We could certainly use some unambiguously happy memories in the dark times to come. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 He brought together tens of thousands of angry people today because of his heart and personality. Hardy put it perfectly in his Independent article. "Pandemonium ensued as the Argentine held his hands to his ears after twirling his shirt around his head. In that moment, Newcastle felt like a football club again." You wouldn't have written that last sentence if it was any other player that had scored. Yes you wouldn't put him in your team unfortunately, yes we want better players, but what or who else is there currently that can create that connection. Can capture people's emotions. All because of the person that he is. I would willingly lose all the ability of each one of the players in our squad, bar Perez, but the one thing I don't want to go is his character and willingness to engage. It's the only soul we have. Depressing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhoywhonder Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 After such a lengthy period of not-giving-a-sh*t-ery, that goal - and his celebration - really brought a smile. Go on yersel' Jonas. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I felt the same, I hate this club as much as the next bloke atm. But I actually celebrated Jonas' goal out of instinct. As much as I want to hate us, the love and passion is still burning and I want to see us succeed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
