[LCF] Newcastle United 2-1 Liverpool - NUFC LEAGUE CUP WINNERS


Recommended Posts

I still don’t think yesterday has fully settled in to me.

 

Honestly, what a day. It was my first time at a pub since getting out of rehab last year as I was wary, but going and being around fellow fans was a highlight. I saw toddlers in kits, I met an elderly married couple who were travelling and needed somewhere to watch and nearly ended up in the Liverpool bar down the street.


Only bittersweet thing is I wasn’t watching it with my old man. We always talked about going to a cup final, but things have been strained with my folks over things I think I’ve gotten in to here before, but he, my uncle, my brother and I were all in the chat group during the match messaging each other throughout the match. 
 

My grandad (who played for NUFC’s youth team decades ago) passed away a few years back and always talked about how much fun he had going to the last final, so my brother poured a pint of his favourite after the match which was sweet.

 

Honestly, the win was a moment of recognizing the family bonds that run through supporting this team in good years and lean years. There’s good and bad times, but it’s a constant and something that will always be a part of me at least.

Mad. But not quite as mad as Sunderland’s situation being compared with Ukraine and Palestine…

Therefore, to see our identity increasingly encroached upon and threatened by a rival that treats us and our city with contempt is problematic for most of us, because it constitutes a denial of who we are and what is important to us. The same trend plays out in global politics, Russia denies the Ukrainian identity, certain peoples in the Middle East deny each others, and so on. The force of belonging is a powerful one, and thankfully as noted it is only a sport and we have moved beyond violence, yet it matters so dearly many to us.

 

Off his tits.

Wow. Is that real? They’re actually comparing the ”Geordification” of the NE with Russia-Ukraine and the Middle East :lol:

EDIT: Guess not :lol:
