Fools errand really. We both watched a fanbase unwilling to be moved against anything meaningful against Ashley, who they all hated. 

 

As I've said before, these protestors would have more luck selling garlic in Transylvania. If they're genuinely politically active they're strategically naive to an insane level. They've got no chance with credibility or not.

 

Eddie from Tyneside Life already has his view as well. It's disingenuous the way he's acting like he's 'just asking questions'

Yeah but we’re the ones who engaged and try to educate regardless of futility not the ones that turned their noses up to such a simple line of questioning.

 

On a different note it be interesting to see how SackPardew/AshleyOut would play out amongst the fans with the rise of the YouTubers. Obviously the anonymity aspect would be a lot harder to maintain which is partly the reason it worked so well compared to other group’s attempt's.

[Kid Icarus]

It's fucking mad how many people in the comments think they're kicking it to the man by kicking for the man. 

 

Imagine threading the needle of being so ignorant and partisan than you think you're anti-establishment by batting for fucking Saudi Arabia.

Speak for yourself. After that Hull match my only engagement with our fans was hating and shaming those who weren't on board.

 

Yeah, I've often thought an N-O podcast would be good. Main host, different posters every week sort of thing.

It’s what I always tried to do wether it be face to face, social media or via the press and radio stations. As frustrating as it could be

 

You listened to NUFC FEED episodes yet?

What an absolute pile of bollocks, i live next to Saudi and have been traveling there for work regularly for the last 10 years, the level of reform and change that has happened to the country since MBS took over is staggering, the country and especially its women and youth are now more empowered than ever and people there are the happiest I've ever seen them since i started going, but yeah some guy wrote a  book so it must be terrible over there

 

Seeing is believing for me, I'm also in Newcastle frequently and nothing positive is ever mentioned in the media about Saudi or all the good things that MBS has done there, so i'm not surprised most people who haven't been there or witnessed the change hold on to a certain image and are actually embarrassed or think someone is either thick or a  Saudi apologist if they say anything positive about the country.

 

 

 

 

 

Sorry you’re absolutely right, the anonymous anecdotal wafflings of a bloke on the internet trumps all other facts.  Especially as you’re not the one who’d be directly affected by it, in fact you’re over there coining it while others suffer.  Good lad. 

 

Good old MBS, three cheers for him.

This won't suit some peoples dogmatic agendas but very well said, many who condemn & try to polarise opinions of Saudi won't of been within a jet ride of the country, but here we have someone giving balance who has 1st hand & with over a decade of experience of the country. 

It’s a fucking dictatorship with an appalling human rights record.  Who gives a shit if someone who makes money there has a different opinion?  Fucking hell man.

He gets very touchy if you point out hes wrong on something . Likes to think he has an inside track on where the clubs going 

[Orphanage]

Anyone mouthing off on tik tok , youtube etc is almost by definition a complete knob and not worth listening to . 

[Orphanage]

Heres alright though ?

[Yorkie]

Gobshite Life is the worst of the worst. He's as smug as he is thick. The head-patting, "ahm just askin questions," "I'm terribly reasonable," shtick isn't fooling anyone with a couple of braincells. 

 

Crease that he's begging people not to post anything other than rapturous applause in his comments by asking everyone to read his essay in the description.

 

I said earlier this week that that John Hird fella doesn't seem like a natural at all this, but I don't blame him whatsoever for turning his back on brainless, incendiary-masked-as-reasonable questions like "what is sportswashing, John?" TOUGH questions!! apparently.  Pull the other one, Eddy, you stupid dickhead.

Check how he ad homs the bloke as an extremist left wing socialist marxist ( as if that was a bad thing ! ) 

Aye Eddie bet he never murdered anyone though unlike Salman and his goons .

The replies on his vid just goes to show why Ashley had it so easy for so long . Utter morons

I don't think anyone is surprised. He's one dimensional af.

Like most youtubers he just wants his ego inflated and be made to feel important .

Terribly, imo. I got in to a back and forth with Lee from Newcastle fans tv in the comments section once. He couldn’t see my point of view at all in the Ashleyout protests.

The only power fans have ever had is the power to walk away .

I thought that was really telling. "He's basically one step away from being a Marxist!" he says, not knowing that all being a Marxist really means is studying (and probably largely agreeing with) Marx's critique of capitalism.

 

Marxism isn't a step beyond being 'extreme left' or even a set in stone political ideology on the political spectrum. There's no single Marxist Theory, two or more people can hold any economically anti-capitalist positions based on Marx's critique, but have wildly different and incompatible political stances, ideas on what post-capitalism looks like, and how it would happen, and still all be Marxists.

 

All of the definitions for Marxism, Socialism, Communism etc all have fairly straightforward, separate definitions but are hidden behind years of propaganda and deliberately extreme mischaracterisation. The confusion is understandable, but it's also useful as a giveaway for knowing when someone doesn't really know what they're talking about when they use them interchangeably like he did.

Me, always nice to have some balancing views from someone who actually knows what is going on in Saudi, not what they read on here or twitter.

[midds]

The good news is that we get to do it all over again on Tuesday night when they play S Korea. Yay

[jack j]

This time next week it will all be forgot about, And Pearson will be back to videoing utter shite and getting away with it cos people either feel sorry for him or think he's harmless

These youtubers need got to fuck

Seen man u fans on Wembley way giving their versions of Pearson loadsa abuse. Our lot lapped it up

[Superior Acuña]

I fucking hate seeing our fans being proper fucking thick dickheads like that. My blood pressure. With regards to the ownership of the club itself, I feel like I can largely turn my brain off to it enough to enjoy the football, given how pervasively rotten football is. But it's another thing when I see the people that I'll be celebrating with, joining in Trafalagar Sq etc are actively being shills and going after decent (if strategically poor) people protesting like that.

 

(And that idiot calling people 'Marxist' , would love to hear him describe what he thinks that means)

edit: See KI's gotten to this already^
