Miggys First Goal Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Horrible horrible disease, for both the person affected and their nearest and dearest. Hopefully they all have the support they need. Take care, Joe. You were certainly a character. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Geordie Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Awful news. I don't wish the bloke ill will - sending positive vibes to him and his family. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abacus Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 It's an awful thing for any human being to suffer and still less for the people around him. So, no stupid jokes from me, wish them all the best with the journey they are on. On a separate note, I'd recommend that Terry Mac autobiography on Kindle. There's probably nothing new in it for most of you, but it kept me entertained, a bit like a Roy of the Rovers book. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattoon Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 My gf mum worked in a care home with dementia patients, I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. I never had time for Kinnear the manager and the time he represents at NUFC is better left as a fleeting memory. Having said that, it's no way to see out your remaining years and I do feel for him and his family and I hope they get all the help they need.

LV Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Christ, I hadn’t realised how many people have been affected by this in their families. Much love to you all. Losing a loved one is bad enough but to have to see them go through that must be awful for everyone involved. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 (edited) My Grandad died of it when I was a kid, still the biggest trauma of my life probably. Ended up having to do things like follow him around the streets and convince him to come home, since he was a big strapping man and my Gran couldn’t cope. Not nice at all. Not a big fan of my parents’ decision to expose us to it so intensely, but there you go. It was a different time I guess. All the best to Joe as a human, although I still strongly dislike him overall Edited September 23, 2021 by AyeDubbleYoo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HTT II Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 It’s an awful awful disease, my sis’ husband’s grandad died of it and she did the GNR in his honour a few times, again we deal with so many customers effected by it, I wouldn’t wish it on anyone, it’s horrible and again anyone dealing with it right now, I send my best wishes.

Guest HTT II Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 He was rubbish for us, but I remember at the time when we were losing and being hammered by the press he come out fighting saying this is NUFC, one of the biggest club’s in the world and admittedly he said he was still one of the best managers in the world at the time too, but it resonated with me as a fan and to be honest, he should have never been appointed in the first place and he was a mad bastard for accepting the job. He was clearly an unwell person at the time too with his heart problems. Shite manager for us, awful appointment, decent bloke by all accounts and I wish him all the best in his health, and his family. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufcjb Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 Compare what he said there to.the guy who is a supposed Geordie and managing us right now, is saying about us now. Ffs. All the best Joe for you and your family Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much love to you all. I think it has recently become the leading cause of death in the UK, so it's not really surprising so many are affected. I suppose it is inevitable - you keep finding treatments for other things like heart disease and cancer, and this is all that's left to take you. It's a horrible disease though, and despite my flippant comments on the last page I obviously wish JK and his family all the best through this.

Skeletor Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 Both my nans had dementia, and it's likely both of my parents will as well (assuming my Dad lives more than a few more years). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw my Grandma turn into a different person with Alzheimers. Typical Geordie. Tough as old boots she was. Hung on for something daft like 10-11 years. RIP Joe.
