Elliottman Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 How the f*** did he get a ticket anyway? Sounds like someone's just found the photo and made up a story to go with it. Pretty sure it was in the locals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewJerseyMag Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 We are both jokes and I am not laughing. A real rivalry would be a world where the makems win stuff and so do we instead of us both vying for fantastic failure at every turn. I've been saying this for a long time. How amazing would it be if we could have banter about our successes, rather than taking the p*ss out of each other because of our failures ? We can always hope. Anyway, I had an amazing day yesterday with my 10 year old son. I'll not lie, I was gutted by the result, but very pleased with the way the team played. Two wonder goals finished us off, and sometimes you have to hold your hands up in defeat and admit the better team won. As a Sunderland fan, days like yesterday don't come very often, and I lapped it up. I want more, and if we beat Hull at the weekend we could be doing it all again ! Special mention for the referee yesterday, he was excellent. Back to the real world today though, and most of the league results went our way over the weekend, so it's not all doom and gloom. Glad you had a good day out with your son. Aye it was brilliant, he takes defeat better than me, which is a useful attribute when you're a Sunderland fan I hope you stay up. Moving away has made me see things from a different perspective. I too would much rather see the rivalry based on success rather than failure. People still pushing this horseshit? I too would like you too stay up, for I love getting bummed 3-0 every season and becoming the ource of local and national ridicule. Its a big world out there. Small minded views are what will bring you ridicule. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure it was in the locals. Aye, I saw it on one of the local news programmes, so its a genuine story, apart from the 'had a ticket, then died' bit.

Guest Roger Kint Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 His dad passed in 2012 but had a ticket for the game? Someone on FB said that the top says '12 A 12' or 'Dad' so to go with the '4 U' bit and his dad passed away in the last 6 months. Unless it says Dad under the cut off of that photo in which case fuck knows Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless it says Dad under the cut off of that photo in which case f*** knows Im sure the top bit is 12.12.12 - the date his dad passed away, strangely enough. Then below, it 4 with 'u dad' beneath. There is a larger pic, but the top bit is obscured by the hood, but (from memory when it was on look north) I'm sure its the date of death. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Think it's more a case of his dad died and was an avid Sunderland fan. The lad went in his dad's place to 'represent him' for want of a better expression. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Howaythetoon Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 In an ideal world, ourselves the mackems, boro and all the north east teams would be headlining the top-flight so to speak, with us at the top of course. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Representing his dad by wearing a sunderland top and cheering them on at Wembley is absolutely horrific. I would think about any fan doing that with their rivals, it's just terrible. Anything to get a bit of recognition. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewJerseyMag Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Didn't Keegan complete the Great North Run in a half black and white and half red and white strip? Some of the small town mentality such as the comments on here is exactly why the national press pokes fun as much as it does. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This, there's nothing "small town" about it (and Newcastle is hardly a fucking "small town" in any case ) It's competitive sport, fair play there's no real need for the violence or excess grief but wearing the oppositions shirt, attending their cup final and cheering them on is cringe inducing in the extreme, I imagine the vast majority of the mackems there thought the same too.

I couldn't do it if the roles were reversed. I took my two boys to the Discovery Museum in Newcastle a while back, and there's a NUFC exhibition in there, it's very good actually. One of my lads picked up a black and white scarf and asked me to put it on. I told him never in a million years ! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
