Amongst the replies to the mad Eddie Howe flag with Bobby on is multiple mackems saying "you spat on him". I did a little google to read about these mass spitting incidents. One of the top results is just RTG repeating it. What's the story here?

He was once spat at up here when England manager after dropping the recently signed Kevin Keegan. Mackem folklore has it that it wasn't an isolated incident and that he was covered head to foot in spit after every game when he managed us. Plus the bit in Niall Quinns autobiog about being spat at by a Sunderland fan when playing for them is an obvious lie.

I believe it did happen, but not the mass spitting they made it out to be, maybe one or two fans at most. It was in the early 80s when Robson became England manager and dropped Kevin Keegan from the england squad, then an NUFC player.

 

Still unacceptable (the spitting) but not the huge incident they make it out to be, and they all probably think/believe it happened just before he was sacked as manager here.

And obviously Bob Murray wasn't glassed by a Sunderland fan either, that's a mag conspiracy

I read one of them “we respect him more”, coming from the fanbase that sang about him being senile and how it’s a beautiful day to spend a Saturday watching Bobby Robson pass away.

 

The phrase “ashamed of nothing, offended by everything” is apt for the scruffy bastards.
