TheBrownBottle Posted Tuesday at 07:56 Share Posted Tuesday at 07:56 12 hours ago, et tu brute said: I'm in my 50's and have always been told from an early age and class now, that a Geordie is someone who is born in a location set on the banks of the river Tyne. Also that the name Geordie comes from the time when we sided with George the 1st (George's men Geordies) against the Jacobites. Talk of the Stephenson lamp also being mentioned as where the name comes from, but the George 1st affiliation is documented during the Jacobite uprising time, so the term Geordie more likely comes from that, rather than the lamp imho. Mind those thick fuckers across there are full of just blatant lies, which they make up and start to believe. The cowards then ban anyone who try's to correct them. The one I always heard from older folks is the one listed on the Newcastle Council website - born North of the Tyne and within a 1 mile radius of Newcastle. Which seems pretty exacting. It is all a bit daft and meaningless tbh. https://newcastle.gov.uk/sites/default/files/2018-12/Geordiemainbody.pdf Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right though it is a bit meaningless especially coming from a mackem cunt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heron Posted Tuesday at 08:18 Share Posted Tuesday at 08:18 (edited) Thing is cities and suburbs expand and grow so, really so should definition. I don't suspect anyone calls themselves anything other than a Geordie if they're from anywhere within about a 5 to 10mile radius of Newcastle North of the Tyne and South of the Tyne probably about 4 or 5miles.

This is the Jobe who left for a pittance and not one premiership club attempted to sign him. There is a reason why he is currently playing championship football at Sunderland. If he does eventually get an opportunity to play premiership football, then we can start comparing him to Miley. Miley has still a lot to prove, but he's achieved far more than Poundland Jobe so far Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry 209 Posted Tuesday at 16:50 Share Posted Tuesday at 16:50 Is Joe Bellingham actually any good? Only seen him play once and he was rubbish but I accept that might have been a one off. He was getting slagged off a lot last year by Sunderland fans for not offering much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was very average last season. Played far too many games, and suffered from not having a regular position. This season, with a proper manager, he seems to have found his feet and doing this biz at that level. As we know though, that level is very low, especially this season. He'll be a prem player though, no doubt about it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see not only was he not interested in football at school, he was also now one of the bullies too! Next they'll accept he did support Newcastle as a bairn, but he'll have ben one of the fans that spat on Sir Bobby before he got the sack. A lass who knows him will have telt them. Fantastic the way he triggers them, like. Edited 10 hours ago by TK-421 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
