Guest reefatoon Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 f***ing hell man, the same line of “well I wouldn’t bad mouth my boss” keeps being trotted out as if that is the main issue with it. People keep explaining that it was more his other words. f***ing hell, we are getting past the banging our head against a brick wall to now smashing our faces against it. Absolutely pointless now. Mind numbing stupidity. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_R Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 I wouldn't bad-mouth my boss, but at the same time I'd not say something positive about him if he was an utter cunt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 Calling him a nice guy was definitely a bad move, could have just said something about concentrating on his football rather than thinking about the owner etc.... However the hate he is getting is ridiculous tbh, and if anyone boos him at the game they want shot, the crowd is so quiet and apathetic I doubt anyone would even muster up the energy to boo him though.

Guest firetotheworks Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 He'll get a standing ovation before kick off tomorrow before everyone takes their seats and sit there in silence. Let's see if I'm wrong. Weird, I thought you didn't stand for people criticising the fans. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did you feel when Pardew did it? We all knew Pardews motives and knew he was a puppet, Lascelles has shown to be anything but that in the past and I think on this occasion we can give him the benefit of the doubt, the bloke is the club captain, hes trying to get everyone pulling in the same direction, his comments were definitely ill advised but he doesn't deserve to be booed, and he still deserves our respect IMO. Or we could all act like babies about it and give him dogs abuse, I'm sure that will work wonders. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wormy Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 To be honest, all Jamal had to do was keep his mouth shut on the subject. They're either with us or need to keep quiet until it's done, anything positive said about Ashley makes him look like a sympathiser or an idiot ignorant to the actual problem at the club. Like big fucking babies. He called Ashley a 'GOOD GUY' after getting a whacking pay rise and extension that guaratee's security for him and likely his kids for as long as they are alive. Nobody is disputing that...they're pissed because he then trivialised the struggles we have with MA's ownership as "Negativity" we could just drop. Big babies? Less has been said by each individual than your incessant whining in every fucking match thread. Fucking hypocrite. I for one am shocked at this individual who has opted to come in this thread to tell it how it is with such a polarising view. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 Regardless if he deserves to be booed or not him being booed is about the best thing that can happen to show that defending Mike Ashley in any way is a bad move for people associated with the club.

Kimbo Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 Just catching up with this. It's a reminder that players live in a different world, I wouldn't be surprised if the players are pretty confused about why we don't like Ashley, it's not likely that they'll discuss the issue with fans or seek out fans opinions. From a players perspective they're earning good money and most probably know they're lucky to be in the premier league. Young or foreign players probably don't even realise the club is a shadow of what it used to be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Re-reading those comments it's notable that he didn't criticise Ashley, which is what it was interrpreted as at the time. He might have thought the lack of investment had nothing to do with him. Lascelles is a bit different though because he is actually a good player, investment wouldn't mean him being replaced. I just doubt there is much discussion of Mike Ashley or the way the club has been dismantled in the squad, the players are doing alright out of all this.

Or you just can continue to focus on booing mike Ashley and concentrating on what’s worked thus far in recent weeks and months with Magpie Group. Maybe instead of booing, a proper social media message to Jamaal reminding him what the movement is all about again, and his obligation as club captain, and not to belittle the goals of getting this club back to what it was. Hell tag his family too even. And I’m sure he’ll be quick to apologize and/or realize how stupid his obviously odd quotes were from the other day.

Odear Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 It might come as a shock to some of you on here but most players at clubs don’t really give a fuck about how the fans feel. They’re commodities to be traded. Poorly educated and all about the appearance of wealth because for the most part they come from nothing. Here one day, gone the next. They have little to no affinity with the clubs they play for and only in rare occasions do players form a bond with fans. Yes Lascelles should have kept his mouth shut, but so fucking what, what’s changed? Our club is still a heap of shit and we’re still set to lose Rafa in about 6 months. Keith Bishop told Lascelles to say that. Essentially throwing him under the bus to take the heat off Mike Ashley and Sports Direct. It’s not Lascelles fault that he was too thick to realise what was happening. And he is thick.. you only had to listen to that radio interview to realise that.
