I just have so little faith in the matchgoing support these days. This is standard fan behaviour though, not protest or anything. Team is shit, manager gets hammered.

You could feel the mood turning to anger. I think if they had scored at that moment, it would have been quite loud and nasty. Such a bloody missed opportunity.

Lazarus Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 He has to walk. Has to. If he doesnt, he's basically telling his current employer and any future one that he doesnt mind being shit on. Bruce would have known this was the case before he joined. He would have known he would be shit on at some point in his time here, he would have known it was coming - and yet he still came. And then hoyed his toys out the pram when it happenned. How he thought he would be treat differently to previous managers here i dont know. I dont think he's naive, he's been in the game a LONG time and will have seen his fair share dodgy owners/chairman and executives at the clubs hes been at - maybe he thought he could use his 'friendly charm' to influence things here.

Was it toxic during those Mackem 3-0s or when we were losing six on the bounce, eight on the bounce under Pardew/Carver? (Asking cos I don't know). Was the only time under McClaren the Bournemouth one? Cos we were deep into the season and comfortably in the relegation zone at that point, which is a very different context that I don't imagine will reoccur this year. Just feel like if we pick up the odd win, which we inevitably will do, he'll keep the toxicity at bay. Was it the Cardiff home game for Pardew ?

Probably before your time, but pre-Keegan days when we lost a play off against the Mackems in what was then the 2nd division. We finished 3rd which would normally have been a promotion spot and they finished 6th which would have been nowhere. They won the play off and our fans were on the pitch kicking off. That was a different time mind, but even as a 2nd division club the fans didn't like losing. Compare that to Brucey who just wants to appreciate the quality players of the opposition.

Ben Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 Good old Geordie Steve Bruce sticking up for the fans and supporters of the club he's loved since a boy, his parents would have been so proud. What a fuckin prick, if you add "I still get paid right" at the end of every one of his statements they make a lot more sense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallsendmag Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 People will most likely take their frustrations out on any Leeds fans in the home areas rather than Bruce or Ashley.
