Guest JS Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Unless it really, really meant something special to me or was a cup final et. al, I just couldn't celebrate against a team I (allegedly) support. He might have been brought up watching Newcastle or in a Newcastle family, but they - Sunderland - have given him his footballing education, coaching, and first team chances. They are the ones who have paid him to be a premier league footballer until this point, not us. Who knows, maybe he went for a trial here, got binned off and was bitter about it ever since. He can say whatever he likes (And probably more importantly, what's been scripted for him) to NUFC:TV or whatever that s*** amateur club video production team are called, for me it changes nothing. His bread is buttered on Wearside as far as I'm concerned. He'll have no problems coming to the biggest team in the North East, charmed by Pardews bullshit and I'm willing to bet a whole lot more than he was getting down there. This ginger fuckwit is perfect for Pardew - he gets to stay close to home, run around doing the basics on the football pitch and when we hit the 40 point mark will have no gripe, complaints or fuss if we decide to sack the rest of the season off once safety has been achieved.

Skeletor Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 If he always harboured hopes of playing for us then why do those gestures at all? If you look at the way he binned Sunderland off to join us (judging by their statement) it seems like he always wanted to join us one day. He's now made life much harder for himself as he'll be under the microscope so much more and every little mistake will be magnified 100 times. If he was a great player it probably would get swept under the carpet but he's a 'ten a penny' kind of player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest thenorthumbrian Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Football fans are so easily upset when a player makes a daft gesture during a match , and to be honest the shush sign was a a bit tame not to say predictable. Lots of players do it they aren't the most original of thinkers, bless their empty little heads. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 The guy has been goaded for years by his friends at school and others. At school he was a Newcastle fan, went to a fair few games (him and his friends invited me to go with them to the Chelsea FA Cup match when Kluivert scored the winner). He always got stick for playing for Sunderland, he always got asked why he didn't play for us and his story was always that he had a trail for us but Newcastle never took up the opportunity to sign him. One time he came in with his Sunderland shirt on just to wind his friends up, always has been a Newcastle a fan though. Sunderland brought him up in the footballing world, the time when he has celebrated and when he did the gesture to me is just to wind his friends up, nothing more. it's funny how no one mentions that when Newcastle have scored the winner against Sunderland he didn't have a disappointed reaction like his teammates. After he left school he was dating one my old bosses daughters, my boss was a Sunderland fan and Jack used to wind him up about how Sunderland had get Geordie's to play for them because people from Sunderland couldn't play football. Having known him I know that he really is a Newcastle fan, fair enough in my mind he isn't good enough for the first team squad, but he's good enough for the squad and I know this is the move he has always really wanted and I know that back in school he was one of the canny lads, always down to earth and never got carried away with himself, always tried his best at school and had a good level of knowledge about football. Because of this I wish him the very best and I hope he goes on to prove a lot of people wrong because a lot of people are judging him harshly without really giving him a chance.

KaKa Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Hmmm ... see I could see him doing that to wind his friends up, and being turned down by Newcastle, its clear he never thought he'd have a chance to play for the club. It still wasn't smart for him to do what he did. I don't know. Just typical young man behaviour really. He just needs to get his head down and play his best really. Find it hard to be too mad at him. I think maybe it's because those Sunderland trouncings made Pardew look the oaf that he is. All my rage is being spent on Pardew. I have no more left to dish out. Well, except towards Shola who is still managing to ruin my life. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He probably though he had no chance of ever playing for us because he knows he's not good enough and never will be, so he tried to gain favour with the mackems by pissing us off. He'll have known that we haven't signed a sunderland player in 20+ years because we've always had the best team and haven't needed to degrade ourselves by going to our biggest rivals for players, like they have with us quite a few times. But then Pardew happened. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a part of the game in my eyes. I know i couldn't do it, neither could Lee Clark, who put in a transfer because he couldn't wear their shirt against us. A "Newcastle fan" mocking us on derby day on their behalf? Astonishing to me that anyone will give him a single second of support. In footballing terms, he's the lowest of the low. He's also s****, which we shouldn't forget. This this and this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foluwashola Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 A year ago a player was refusing to play for us in an attempt to engineer a move away. This player is now afforded the highest praise by many of our fans. If Colback manages to string a couple of passes together, we'll conveniently forget his inoffensive gestures. Providing he gives 100% when he pulls on the shirt, and I'm fairly confident he will do, he'll get nothing but support from me. Until he puts in a string of terrible performances of course. Then he reverts to disgusting ginger mackem mode. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomson Mouse Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Quote One time he came in with his Sunderland shirt on just to wind his friends up, always has been a Newcastle a fan though.

Darth Crooks Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 More bothered about the possibility that under pardew he'll be about as much use a spelk in the jap rather than any prior stupid gestures. I don't take the derby defeats and nonsense that surrounds it lightly either. Showed some over the top celebration in support of the team he played for which was a bit antagonistic. We've bigger problems mind, like the fatman and tampon brains. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He offers nothing we don't already have though. Its like buying a spare, spare tyre. It might come in useful eventually but when your clutch is fucked, your wing mirror is hanging off, the central locking is gone and you're already on a limited budget it's a pointless purchase.
