Guest Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Sick of "taking positives" from defeats like, especially when the f***ing mackems are beating Man City after the many positives we took from them rolling us over at home. I'll take positives when we win. He made a rod for his own back after 'those' 3 games. I think since Stoke we genuinely have been unlucky to only have picked up 6 points, and if we hadn't been so shit against West Ham, Swansea and Southampton we might have had the confidence to, for example, hold on against Stoke, pick up a point at Fulham, etc. Genuinely believe those 3 games, the tactics, selections and performances have ruined our season.

Guest firetotheworks Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 We have no right to slate Man United supporters for being glory hunters. For the one Korean Scunthorpe United supporter that I'm sure exists somewhere on this Earth, I'm probably just as much of a glory hunting c***. It's all relative. What absolute bullsh*t. You follow Man Yoo because they win. End of. There are tons of sneering glorying posts after a Man Yoo victory all over the place. The number actually FROM Manchester are few and far between. Gloryhunters is, to say the LEAST an understatement. By the way, Alan "Ars*hole" Brazil was at it again this morning. Whilst I agree with the sentiment, you should also know that Oldtype is a South Korean that supports Newcastle, which is why he was making that point.

Guest alijmitchell Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 All you hear over here is how good the fans of Celtic are too. 90% of the ones I know are all c***s. Well said, they get given a lot of press for their 'famous european atmospheres' which are good, but I can't think is any different than most places would be if they were playing Barca etc. Other than that, a lot of them are idiots. On the glory hunting thing and the Northern Irish/Norwegian contingent, then I think when you say it is all relative, then you are right. My argument to my flatmate was about supporting a 'catholic' team in Northern Ireland - why didn't he do that. So I guess to the few followers of the Northern Irish or Scandinavian leagues, then perhaps they might think that a defection to supporting Newcastle is a bit of a glory hunt, I dunno, but we accept them because they buy into our club and are generally decent craic. Obviously football is global, I get that, but we're all aware of the type we've been mentioning, the soulless, replica shirt down the pub wearing man u/man city/chelsea fan who have little or no concept of what football really means to people and are backing a winner.

buzza Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 My opinion is that we went all out in a first half that we dominated and in the last 20 minutes their experience outdid us. I reckon the chaotic defending might be down to exhaustion more than anything else, we were panicking whenever we had it at our feet. I would agree with the people who make points that the williamson/simpson side of the defense is far weaker, a replacement for either of these would improve us hugely. Great effort yesterday, just didn't have the nerve to take something home! Nothing to be ahsamed of! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 thought the rule was the FA can't charge if it was mentionied? I don't see why that would be the case. It works like that in the case of bookings etc that the referee didn't see, but I can't see how that principle would extend to this. The officials didn't feel it worthy of reporting to the FA, so why would they now take action? He's got away with it again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Surely this sets a precedent for all managers across England to berate referee's and officials. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he was merely protesting, and from what I could tell he was on about Cisse holding Evans back by the shirt, he may have been civil with his lecture to Dean. If he'd given him abuse in any way, he could well have been looking at a red card and hefty punishment? Dunno like Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 I find it incredibly hard to believe he was ranting and raving like that without being abusive. And in any case it doesn't make it right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robster Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 I am giving MOTD, SSN, Radio etc, the widest birth possible for a couple of days. For some reason, I just decided to quickly flick SSN on.... just at the moment they were showing Hernandez scoring the winner. FFS ! Fuck you, world.

Still think it's bollocks, and doesn't mention the ranting at the linesman either. Fergie doesn't do these things to get decisions overturned, he does it because he knows the officials are intimidated by him and his club. Works a treat.

Guest Phil K Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 When I saw a post praising Williamson and Simpson saying they were "rock solid" I KNEW that they'd be awful in the 2nd half ! You don't tempt fate. Many did on this game's comments The defending on their winning goal was off the scale appalling. And by the way - has Krul had a decent game since coming back from injury ? Seems no better (at best) than Steve Harper from what Ive seen. Far from the fans favourite of last season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could even half kind of accept it if he went and spoke to just the referee, but the fact that he berated the ref, then the 4th official, then the assistant referee, is just insane. I'm not just saying this, but anyone else and they would have been sent to the stands. I've no doubt about it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
