Saw one stupid cunt with a Saudi flag yesterday- him and his equally thick looking mates singing about being on the gear.  I thought that depressing little trend had ended. 


 

yeah they need calling out , it’s not fucking funny and I don’t like it.

Picking apart each and every one of the hyper-moralistic hypocrites is a piece of piss. From the lowest level anonymous Twitter / message boarder like Exile (MILFs and teens), to uninvited cockshot senders like Barry Glendinning, through journalists working for the divisive, racist misery press of the Daily Mail like Samuel and Holt, all the way to the doyenne of tax avoidance in Lineker. Each and every one of them is flawed and ill-equipped to be finger wagging and lecturing the likes of you and me, who probably just want a few hours a week of escapism from the absolute car crash of last 15 years that successive governments both home and abroad have foisted on us.

Hooray. 

Let's all celebrate the fact that we can easily dismiss complaints about the Saudi regime, because everybody is a twat in their own right.

Is this a word I'm unaware of? or do you mean departmentalise?

It’s my own word, it will be in Neil Wornock’s dictionary soon.

Is this a Saudi not wanting to shake hands with a woman?

 

Bumped into a few people post Covid-19 who, like myself, are unsure wether to shake hands or just fist. ?

Not a problem unless we're starkers on Duridge Bay sand dunes

It looked like a pasty bald bloke to me, not, erm, 'Saudi' looking. So I dont think there was anything in it.

Anyway, see Klopps been spouting again, this time about Scott Parkers' sacking and how its the fault of 'country owned clubs' and not clubs 'with structure' like Liverpool and Arsenal.

I doubt it, she’s been seen hugging our owner man and Saudi’s do shake hands with women.

I'm happy to see a group of our fans making their voices heard about the KSA and It's human rights abuses. 

 

What is utterly depressing is the tribalism on show, from our own opposing fans who've interpreted it as an attack on the club.

 

It's being whipped up by brain dead social media personalities such as Keith and Wraith, who constantly refer to "socislist" or "left" elements of the fan base. 

 

If you don't like it or don't agree with the protest, it's perfectly reasonable to do so without being a cunt about it. Sadly the nature of our society today means they're almost certainly in for dogs abuse. As for Keith and Wraith, the sooner they're ignored and fucked off from any kind of platform they have the better.

Does anyone celebrate any less after we’ve scored and at the final whistle? I knew very little about Saudi Arabia’s human rights record before Ashley sold up and I know the exact same amount now.I don’t do politics.

 

 

 

Lots of people do, and are concerned about the ownership and its implications. And as such they are attempting to educate people like you who don’t know about what exactly we are in bed with here. You’re bothered or you’re not but they are fully entitled to help people understand.

I remember in the 70s and 80s when thiusands of people of all professions and trades went to work in Saudi Arabia to facilitate the construction of the infrastucture fot the state as welll as working in the hospitals etc! Lots of people made a very good living then! Was that acceptable?

Education is good but I don’t really get the point? Educate me on something I can relate to and impact by all means but what exactly do I do? Can I vote or make a donation or something?

My interest in football has certainly been impacted by recent developments. Factors like decreasing fan access, the accelerated capitalisation of the game and state ownership, to name a few, have contributed. The PIF ownership of Newcastle United is a symptom not a cause.

 

As fans, we have absolutely no say in who we're owned by, but I have no issue with those who wish to educate and raise awareness regarding KSA and their human rights abuses.

 

I'll always be conflicted. I've supported the club since I was a boy and don't really know any different, but at the same time it's depressing that it has taken ownership via a sovereign wealth fund for us to become competitive again.

 

I'm a hypocrite because despite my complaining, I'll still watch and support. Even if my support is no where near as strong as it once was.
