South Shields v Tadcaster

Shortly before kick-off tonight . . . . this is a canny 'photo
It's a pity about only catching half of Tricky Dickie, mind

 

Good memories streaming back and chants 6'2,eyes of blue.....

 

Tricky Dickie's after you
la la la la, la la la la la

 

Big Jim Holton?

 

It was adapted for Jim later, young man

 

Memories of the Fulwell End and great chants:
"Hi ho hi ho it's off to work we go with.....

 

Anyone remember 73
"Geordies here Geordies there
Geordies every effing where"

" Geordies here Geordies there
Geordies not supposed to swear"
After a conversation with the police

 

If I had the wings of a sparrow
And the black arse of a crow
I'd fly up high into the sky and sh1te on the.....(insert whoever were playing that day) below.
From the early sixties if my memories not playing tricks on me.

 

I remember . . . .
"Geordies here Geordies there
Geordies every ****ing where
la la la la, la la la la la"
Modified to
"Geordies here Geordies there
Geordies aren't allowed to swear
la la la la, la la la la la"

and

"If I had the wings of a sparrow
If I had the arse of a crow
I'd fly over nocastle tomorrow
and **** on the bastards below, below . . . . and **** on the bastards below"

 

I need to get myself to a South Shields game. I’m guessing it’s a mix of Geordies and Mackems that go?

 

I keep meaning to dart over for one as well. Few of my pals ha e been going and aye good mix apparently and they say it’s usually good craic.

 

It's almost all Geordies (of which I'm one, and almost everyone from 'Sheels is, too - being born within a mile of the tyne) and mainly Sunderland supporters, 'cos it's a 'red & white town' but there are plenty of mags, too and it's always friendly 'cos we're all Sandies (most of which do not like being referred to as Geordies, 'cos of the inaccurate association that you just made)

 

I thought true Geordies were born on North Bank of Tyne of course the "Sandie Geordies" are under the Mackem spell

 

I’m only 5 mins away from there so I’ve no excuse really. I might try attend their next home game.

 

No idea mate. Despite my allegiance I only moved to the NE in July, and some of the nuances are new to me. I thought that Geordies were just local to Newcastle and certain areas of South Tyneside

 

Do you fancy going on Saturday, QWOP, against Hyde United, who are fourth and only 3 points behind us at the top ?

 

Assuming I get paid, I’m up for it. January has been a long month

 

I remember being told Geordies, were born on North Bank of Tyne and Northumbrian's, were called "Humphries".
Mackems (Sandy Geordies) are Geordies with Brains (banter). Recently (80'sapprox) Mackem was intended as an insult from the darkside ones.
All good stuff but I m sure knowledgeable posters on here will know alternative urban myths.

 

That's not banter - that's a fact, man.

 

My local team.
