Danh1 Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 What is it with our fans? The worst thing about it all is the people in the comments asking where he got it, so they can get their designs done too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackyboy Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 I hope that they don't use that flag with SBR in it. Different era and circumstances completely Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBrownBottle Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 One of the things I’ve always found a bit weird about it is that while I genuinely believe Keegan saved and rebuilt the club and in some style, Robson did a good job at what was at the time one of the richest clubs on earth. Don’t get me wrong, going to matches home and away from 2001-04 was fun - I was there - but if you’d asked me in 2004 after he left if in twenty years time NUFC supporters would be making gaudy shite venerating him like he’s the saint of the club I’d have laughed like a drain. It’s beyond odd - it’s like everyone else has formed a different collective memory. There’s a statue outside the ground of him - but Milburn’s was moved; nothing for Gallacher, Harvey, MacDonald etc etc. It’s being a stranger in your own memories.

Bobby is remembered for much more than his time at Newcastle (as good as that was), he's a local guy highly respected in the world of football for his numerous achievements and legacy. But it's like fans have forgotten that and see him as a mythical NUFC figure. I love Bobby and think he should be remembered and celebrated as a whole- but also think you're right, it's become a bit distorted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always felt the SBR love was more for being able to claim someone with his incredible standing, CV and reputation within the game as one of ours, and not necessarily the good job he did here? KK absolutely the more messianic figure but I've always had a different kind of appreciation and feeling for SBR.

He definitely held a place in the national affection. Don’t get me wrong, I certainly didn’t mean it as a criticism of Robson nor his time at SJP - but his lofty status at NUFC as a NUFC figure is, for me, overstated.

Kid Icarus Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 I have to agree like. He's more of a social figure that's attached to the area and the personification of who we like to think of ourselves and the club as. It's nice that he has a statue, but it's also mad that at the same time Joe Harvey gets a plaque and Kevin Keegan has nothing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
