ennyoueffsea Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 (edited) We played QPR at home and were 2 down in the first 5 minutes, then 3 down after 70 odd minutes. The crowd streamed out, and we scored 2 in the last 10 minutes so anyone late in and left early missed 4 goals. That was the day I swore I’d never leave a match before the end. 😁😂 Edited November 10, 2021 by ennyoueffsea Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 We signed John Barnes, Stuart Pearce and Ian Rush in 97. Aged 34, 35 and 36 I think. Remember Pearce being decent for a bit actually. Cant remember Barnes featuring much. Rush less so but I think he scored a winner in a cup game. Remember it being a big winner. Could have been the FA cup semi but that's a guess. Dalglish was crazy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 (edited) Forgot Barnes played upfront for us when Shearer got injured in 97-98 and Les and Beardsley had left. Top scorer with 6. He wasnt exactly the quickest then. Edited November 12, 2021 by Super Duper Branko Strupar Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toontimes Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 My parents moved down South to get work in 1972 so my first games were in the 1972/73 season at Arsenal (2-0 ahead, but drew 2-2 in end) and Tottenham (2-0 ahead, lost 2-3 in the end). That told me all I needed to know about supporting Newcastle and when things are going well always expect them to get worse… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfcastle Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 1 hour ago, Dancing Brave said: League cup V Hull The tickets were more expensive than Barcelona in the Champions League a few midweeks earlier. (Hull were bottom of the 4th division at the time). Kept the Hull ticket stub for that novelty reason and the Barcelona one for obvious reasons. Didn't matter, both sold out.

Top scorer with 6. He wasnt exactly the quickest then. John Barnes being our top scorer is a shameful indictment of the ownership as much as Dalglish - similar to the time Jonjo Shelvey was also our top league scorer with six. One day, children will never believe either of those facts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoreboard82 Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 According to the on this day section on nufc.com i attended my 1st Toon game at home to West Ham on this very date in 1976. Won 2-1. League position after that result? 14th. Points tally? 31. Exactly how we stand now. 46 years on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mahoneys Tache Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 (edited) First memory is the 1974 cup final and supermac skying a shot from the edge of the 18 yard box. and I used to sit it the Trent end at the city ground in the mid - late 90’s / early 2000’s or whenever forest went down for the last time. Keeping my head down and gib shut. Soon as Batty made that rick in 1996 and Woan went for it I thought ‘that’s the title gone.’ Edited March 13, 2022 by Mahoneys Tache Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coffee_Johnny Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 I supported Newcastle when we twice finished second in the Premier League, and finished in the top six a further five times. When we got to three FA Cup Finals; two further FA Cup semi-finals. When we reached one League Cup final and seven LC quarter finals. When we made it to three UEFA cup quarter finals, and one semi-final. When we beat Juventus and Barcelona in the Champions League. When I eventually saw them score, in person, at Wembley (thanks Rob Lee). When we won the ‘Championship’ three times, and were promoted another time. When we finished third in the new big bad Premiership, by just doing our stuff and blowing teams away in the way we had the season before in the supposedly markedly inferior league below. When the personalities and passion involved made you could feel proud of the club and it made you proud to be a Geordie. There are more good times coming, and we will be around to see them.

Billy Warthog Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 When some fat bastard stood on a concrete barrier under the Scoreboard to start off the singing, and promptly got pushed off as he was too drunk and incoherent.

buzza Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 My last game before moving to Spain was 1997, Nufc Vs Barca in the champions league "Tino, there´s only one Tino...". Been supporting since 89-90, keegan and bobby were the best I have ever seen, after bobby left it has never lived up to expectations. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
