Abacus Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 2 hours ago, MarkyMark said: I’m surprised anyone actually reads Liddle. He just comes across as a nasty piece of work. Don’t give that wanker a second’s thought mate. To be fair, he's generally just a contrarian - says OTT things for what he thinks is comic effect. He's not really a journalist. Just someone that thinks his opinions are funny and likes to get a reaction. Despite smoggie connections, he doesn't particularly have it in for Newcastle - he'll slag off any given team or their fans on any given day just for the fun, so not really worth listening to. Hates taking the knee, for example, like your embarrassing uncle. It's interesting, though, that he admits to lurking on several Newcastle forums to have gotten the general opinion of the fans about Howe for his opinion piece. So, as I say, he's no journalist.

Abacus Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 (edited) Haha, saying that Howe is bright, genuine and hard-working is a lovely little dig at Alex's dad! Well played, Mr Hope. Edited January 16, 2022 by Abacus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thiago Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 I will admit I watched Bruce on Undr the Cosh and he was a likeable bloke. That changed when it came to discussion of his dad and 'it being crazy up there'. I get it, he's your dad, he's your hero, but he also held to take £8m from 'his club' after a winless start to the season. He should shut up and he certainly should stop pestering Craig Hope.

Danh1 Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Just read Hope’s article about Howe and this jumped out at me…. ”On a similar theme, Howe being unable to polish the proverbial was also offered in mitigation of disappointing results. Alex Hurst, host of the True Faith podcast, is recognised as a voice of reason among the fanbase and, indeed, senior figures within the club. ” Bet a few on here will disagree with that.

I nearly replied on Twitter saying I liked the article, but this bit was bollocks. I’ve said it before on here. Hurst is good at hosting, he usually speaks well and I don’t mind a few on the TF podcast. But fucking hell. He spent weeks going on about ASM and Joelinton being left footed. I actually pulled him on it and he just said ‘my mistake.’ Pretty fucking odd one to make. Too busy doing your matchday pod and tweeting shite and not actually watching what’s in front of you?! Like fuck am I taking his advice on football and I actually think he is quite knee jerk week to week on that pod. Hardly a voice of reason. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like fuck am I taking his advice on football and I actually think he is quite knee jerk week to week on that pod. Hardly a voice of reason. This is the modern dilemma. You can't harmonise a fan base. Even the notion of a fan group spokesperson won't represent everyone. We already had a few fan channels sprouting up with varying degrees of embarrassing. Even then, most aren't any different to your average pub dweller. They don't have much of a background in the game other than watching. Every donkey will tell the horse how he'd win the Grand National, doesn't mean he's right. The notion of being a 'celebrity fan' seems odd to me.

wormy Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 (edited) It's a near-impossible balancing act these days. You don't want fans to be voiceless and getting them on Soccer AM back in the day, or even that fan commentary feature Sky used to do was quite a cool novelty. But now most fans that want their voice heard don't really seem to be doing it for the love of their club, but because they want a bit of the spotlight. Invariably making them an insufferable gobshite. I'd much rather get the gauge of our fans feelings on a forum like this than hang off the word of an irrelevant 'supafan' that's somehow managed to trick an audience in to thinking their opinion is worth more than other fans.

MarkyMark Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Lazy journalists love ‘super fans’. Easier than canvassing supporters.
