sunderland

[Big Geordie]

We need a draw on Saturday between them, IMO.

[bhoywhonder]

I'm so glad I'm not a mackem.

 

Just like the song - it could've been worse, could've been born a mackem.

 

It's even getting tedious having such backward tramps as our closest (geographic) rivals.

Why can't we have a club a bit more like ourselves as a main rival instead of those humourless bitter twats.

 

Totally agree, the mackems have become nothing more than a time-wasting irritant recently. Its as if the entire place has short-man syndrome, and like an overly-aggressive shortie or a yapping disobedient pup, they’ve become an attention-seeking annoyance you don’t even want to confront anymore, you just wish they would f***ing disappear.

 

RTG is the worst offender however. Whenever I follow a link from here, I read the irate frothing about us with a mixture of incredulity and amusement. However the smile soon drains away when I get to the foot of the page and see…..’Page 1 of 23’.  Jesus, is there really that little to do down there?

 

The ironic thing is Sunderland has had millions invested in its broadband provision under the ‘Software City’ initiative. I can only imagine how mortified the once-proud city leaders are when they see the populace use this technology solely to show the rest of the world what first-class f***ing cretins they are.

 

 

[cp40]

Ha, we've broke him.

 

Yes, yes we have

 

One derby game and he loses it

 

 

bet hes sitting up at night having conversations with his shadow about what a bunch of cunts we are.

[Heron]

I hope his managerial career comes to an abrupt end. He's a horrible, whinging classless twat.

[Ikon]

They are fucking Discovery Science material tbh! Lost for words!

[cp40]

claiming all the mods on smb are Mags now. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Imagine if that had been the SoL on Sunday btw and Campbell and got the injury-time equaliser. Pitch invasion, the lot would have happened.

pitch invasion probably would have happened anyway in an attempt to attack our players

[Karjala]

Hopefully mackems draw on Sunday, and if they do lose, it should be by at least 10 goals.

[Guest johnson293]

Ha, we've broke him.

 

Yes, yes we have

 

One derby game and he loses it

 

He he, Brilliant.

 

Especially when you consider he's managed in some pretty big derbies already in his career, In Glasgow and the midlands.

 

Yet, a few words/actions from 'Pardiola', and he's clearly rattled.

 

Excellent.

[Ritchie]

Pardiola.

[Cajun]

We missed a penalty, Ba hit the crossbar, headed another over from 6 yards out and we had a blatant penalty turned down.

 

On another day it could have been 5-1 all over again, that's not to mention the incident where they got their penalty happens pretty much every week but goes unpunished 9 times out of 10 (was still a penalty by the laws of the game mind just refs rarely call it). The only way they have clawed anything back is the fact our luck fucked off and they scraped a draw.

A beautiful summary from another board:-

 

From all I’ve read and heard in the aftermath of this game, I can only conclude that in the near future, a Tyne Wear derby will be marked by the death of a fan. Undoubtedly this fan will be one of ours, perhaps a solitary teenager at a bus stop or a middle-aged family man looking for his car, but he’ll be a black and whiter who will fall under a flurry of boots and fists, or a single stab by a bladed up sewer rat. I don’t want to sound alarmist, but the fact is, the mackems hate Newcastle United with such fury they will kill one or more of us to demonstrate that fact. The victim who dies will join Bobby Robson and Gary Speed in the litany of sick songs that are spread on sunderland message boards in preparation for games against us.Having watched the full game again, all I could conclude is that sunderland, both players and supporters, are completely out of control and that this mass, snarling hysteria is fed and nurtured by the highest echelons of the club.

 

Examine the conduct of both sets of fans; on Sunday, Shola Ameobi’s 90th minute equaliser was met with joyous scenes in the ground. However, not one person encroached upon the field of play; compare this with the Mackem reactions to Gyan’s equaliser last season when Steve Harper was assaulted or in October 2008, when Kieran Richardson’s goal was greeted with a mass pitch invasion and Shay Given being assaulted. Admittedly Alan Pardew did go slightly over the top with his celebrations, but at least he had the grace to apologise; unlike O’Neill who didn’t have the grace to accept the traditional post match glass of wine, artlessly preferring to get straight on the coach back to his Wearside midden, no doubt embellishing his fictional narrative on the day.

 

Each season, Newcastle fans travel to Wearside, by Metro, train, bus, car or even furniture van, and cause not a scrap of bother. On Sunday, the Mackems followed up their destruction of a train carriage en route to their cup replay in Smogland by trashing a Metro. This wasn’t a regular Metro, but a special one that went non-stop Park Lane to Central to allow them to get to the game. En route to the game, the windows of The Forth were put in; presumably in the belief that it is still 1983 and the NME were supping inside, rather than because it is an effete gastro pub, with a similarly effete post 92 clientele, even if the prix fixe menu is of an extraordinarily good standard.

 

In the ground several seats were smashed, two stewards were assaulted (a female punched in the face and a male pushed down a flight of stairs) and the toilets were wrecked, as well as having excrement smeared around them, presumably as some kind of Dirty Protest tribute to Niall Quinn, the Drumaville Pavees and their current manager, of whom more later.

 

However, such cretinous behaviour is perhaps to be expected for several reasons. Firstly, and most obviously, mackems are a lower form of life and visiting civilisation gets them all excited. Secondly, but most importantly, their club glorifies boorishness and encourages bellicose posturing. The famed free taxis home paid for by Niall Quinn for the sizeable number of their fans who were drunkenly out of control in Bristol airport in 2007, planted the seed in their minds that anti social behaviour will not only be tolerated by the club hierarchy, but rewarded.

 

The only reason Newcastle did not hand out another severe thrashing to the unwashed is that in the first half, Pardew’s team allowed themselves to be dragged down to the mackems’ level and engaged in a hideous kicking contest. The tone was set by Cattermole’s premeditated attack on Tiote after 40 seconds; having reputedly told Tiote in the tunnel that he’d “do” him, the man who wears the captain’s armband for sunderland deliberately scythed down Tiote in an assault intended to injure the Ivorian. Cattermole ought to have walked then. I remember Gordon Armstrong doing the same thing on Paul Bracewell in April 1993’s game that was decided by Scott Sellars’s free kick. Back then, Keegan’s team laughed it off and got on with the business of winning; sadly this was not the outcome in this instance. Newcastle’s adoption of strongarm tactics saw 4 rapid bookings, even if Simpson was rightly furious following McClean’s vile lunge on him.

 

The predictable conclusion to this passage of ale house clogging by the Magpies was the nonsensical penalty conceded by Williamson for a tug on Turner, which was celebrated in a deliberately provocative way by Frazier Campbell, intended to incense Newcastle fans and no doubt the cause of an imminent FA charge for incitement. Following this goal, a brief period of phoney war almost saw the Mackems go 2-0 ahead, but Krul made an excellent save from Bendtner and with that the Mackems retreated to their own 18 yard line for the remainder of the game. Despite being deservedly behind, the previously mentioned efforts from Ba and Coloccini could have seen Newcastle ahead at the break.

 

In the second period, especially after Sessegnon’s forearm smash on Tiote, who was himself booked for the only foul committed by a Newcastle played after the resumption, Newcastle were a joy to watch. Hatem Ben Arfa was Man of the Match by a street and showed exactly what Newcastle fans love to see; football artistry, poetry with the feet. We are the fans who idolise not only our number 9s, but the glorious ball players who’ve graced the Gallowgate turf; Beardsley, Tony Green, Len White, Bobby Mitchell, Hughie Gallagher, Colin Veitch and Pat Heard to name but a few. In contrast on Wearside, brutish, cowardly hatchet men like Joe Bolton, Charlie Hurley, John Kay, Kevin Ball and now Lee Cattermole are lauded.

 

Off the top of my head I can recall Gary Bennett, Howard Gayle, Paul Hardyman, Titus Bramble, Phil Bardsley, Sessegnon and Cattermole being dismissed from the field of play in derby games; not one of those names belongs to a Newcastle player. The meaning of that is self-evident; sunderland cannot control their players. This season alone Bardsley was sent off for a stamp, Sessegnon for an elbow and Cattermole for an unprovoked foul-mouthed tirade against a referee who’d done his level best amidst the mayhem, even if he missed at least 3 other penalties we should have had.

 

Laughably Cattermole’s conduct was excused by O’Neill in a post match interview where, summoning up all the traditional Celtic paranoia from his stint in Glasgow, he felt there were “mitigating circumstances.” According to O’Neill, there had been a Newcastle United presence in the referee’s room at half time. John Carver at this point interjected and pointed out, in no uncertain terms, that O’Neill was a liar. Obviously as far as the unwashed goes, if a lie is put out in to the real world, it becomes a fact; perhaps being caught out was the reason why O’Neill flounced out of Tyneside, preferring instead to make a cowardly interview with local radio on the Tuesday, replete with lies and innuendo. If you want to see real class and the conduct of perfect gentlemen, seek out the ESPN post match interview with Shola and Demba Ba. Articulate, incisive, humble and intelligent; these men are a credit to our club and the polar opposite of the scowling, snarling, spitting vermin from down the road.

 

As a minimum, the FA need to charge sunderland with failing to control their players, while both Campbell and McClean, for his comments on Twitter, should be brought to book. However, this will not be enough; when a sunderland message board is full of death threats against Pardew, things really need to stop. Back in 1996, the ban on away fans at derby games allowed for the formation of Wear Fans United to protest against the decision; 16 years on I can see no possible hope of a similar organisation being formed to calm the situation down. However, it has to be said this is not necessary on one side of the divide.

 

At Newcastle United, we fans police ourselves; we love the club and we respect our history and traditions. The same cannot be said of our local rivals; unless sunderland fans come to their senses and gain a sense of proportion about what is after all only a game of football, people will die on derby day. Those on Wearside must accept that this is where their conduct has them headed; they need a reality check before it is too late.

[wormy]

That needs to be spread far and wide. Spot on.

[geordiemonster]

To be honest I reckon some of our fans cause just as much bother up there as they do down here - ripped up seats for example.  Not excusing it, but both clubs have a significant minority of utter twats who seem intent on causing trouble.  That article makes our fans sound like a group of middle aged women on their way to a church picnic, but we all know that there is nearly as much hatred on our side as there is on theirs.

 

Much as I love the toon that article is a wee bit biased

Fuck off you mackem!!

[Stifler]

It did, last season when they got that fucking jammy goal in stoppage time.

[Fenham Mag]

....Is what one mackem said to another in a SJP toilet.

Fucking O'Neill

[Beren]

Cattermole started it, but both teams were boorish.

 

Sunderland's hatred of all things Newcastle seems worrying though. Bit far, like.

What the fuck is that even supposed to mean? He got sent off and his team arguably dropped 2 points because of it the fucking idiot
