Mags embarrassing themselves yet again

I ran into one at Peterborough away in the street, absolute weirdo ...

... Mag shirt on and holding the hand of his eight year old son so people wouldn't have a go.

"Hiding behind your poor kid," I said.

 

Genuinely... are there any other "fans" of rival clubs in the world that would do this? I cannot imagine, for example, Liverpool or Everton fans, or Man. U or Man. C fans doing it. They are not just a sandwich short of a picnic, they are a picnic short of a picnic

 

It is utterly unique behaviour. It could only ever come from extremely needy and under developed boy men.

Very, very strange. They need help.

 

difficult situation but i'd have nutted the twat and set my 7 year old grandson loose on his kid

 

Sat in a pub in Tynemouth yesterday watching the scores come in. Group of old boys next to me watching the racing. They got on to the subject of "Sunlun" and how one of them said he watched our game with Boro and how poor a game it was, how its "miles below" what Newcastle are playing, then asking one of his cronies (with a sizeable amount of arrogance) if could "even name one player on their side?"

Guarantee he's the type (like my FIL) who claims to be a massive "toon" fan but never goes to games and could probably only name about 3 or 4 of their players never mind anyone else's. Wanted to slap that arrogant ****ing smile off his face

 

Shows how ignorant these people are.

Most football fans I know, of any club, would be able to name NI international Evans, ex-Celtic Roberts, World Cup Jewi and Wright, Man Utd Amad, etc.

I doubt any of your old boys had ever heard of the majority of the Newcastle squad before they signed and couldn't spell most of them now

 

It was the sneer and the damn incredulity of him asking his mate if he'd heard of any of our players. Guarantee he'll have been reading the match report in his Sunday Sun today and fist pumping when he hears Stewart is injured. Probably chomping on his Greggs Sausage Roll (nee bacon lyke cos it's red and white)

 

Hopefully this blows up in their faces.

 

didn't realise the 2nd leg had already been played

 

I was living near Nottingham at the time Forest were playing Yeovil and totally expected to coast the game having won the first away leg 2-0 ...

... Yeovil tore them to shreds in the second leg, at the City Ground, and all the Wembley Final posters came down sharpish

 

Funny that the sky sports neutral summariser said haw good we were. How good the football we play is. I’ve watched their last few as sky seem to love putting on boring 0-0s and they’re awful to watch. Have some undoubtedly good players and rave about Dan burn, who is utter dross mind and strikes me as a “typical arrogant mag” and Kieran Trippier, known as “ref” to his friends!

they had some decent games early in the season. But have been awful recently

 

Where was this? Arrogant as ****!
Edit: Found it!! And tweeted it to the Southampton account!!!

 

The ****ing “52000 screaming geordies” ****e trotted out again by Keith on sky!

Obviously they don’t allow away fans!

Some DJ playing ****e music on the side of the pitch man! ****ing hell

 

"Scream when you're winning"

 

Poor game of football yet watched it all the way through

They don’t know any of our players yet have been laughing about Stewart being injured.

Not very bright are they

 

FIFA are silently helping the Saudi's now...




Co-hosts Australia and New Zealand have asked Fifa to "urgently clarify" reports that Saudi Arabia's tourism authority is to be named as an official sponsor of the 2023 Women's World Cup.

A deal with Visit Saudi is set to be announced and has already been criticised by human rights groups.

The Gulf Kingdom has been accused of human rights abuses.

Football Australia and New Zealand Football said they were not consulted and are "disappointed".

They have both written to football's world governing body, while Amnesty International called it "crude exploitation" of the sport.

The Women's World Cup takes place from 20 July to 20 August in cities across Australia and New Zealand, and organisers believe a record two billion people could watch the tournament.

• Why is Saudi Arabia's involvement in sport controversial?

The sponsorship deal - yet to be formally announced - is part of a new commercial partnership structure that Fifa set up to allow brands to specifically support the women's game.

While the size of the deal has not been revealed, insiders claim it will provide a significant boost to the women's game, and the money generated will be reinvested back into football.

"Football Australia understands Fifa has entered into a destination partnership agreement in respect to the Fifa Women's World Cup Australia and New Zealand 2023," Football Australia said in a statement.

"We are very disappointed that Football Australia were not consulted on this matter prior to any decision being made. Football Australia and New Zealand Football have jointly written to Fifa to urgently clarify the situation."

New Zealand Football added: "If these reports prove correct, we are shocked and disappointed to hear this as New Zealand Football haven't been consulted by Fifa at all on this matter."

Saudi Arabia has invested heavily in sporting events in recent years but has been accused of using events to 'sportswash' its reputation.

There are concerns over human rights in the country, women's rights and the use of the death penalty.

Women's rights campaigners have been imprisoned, despite some reform under crown prince Mohammed bin Salman, such as an end to the ban on women driving.

Western intelligence agencies claim the crown prince ordered the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi in 2018 - which he denies.

"It would be quite the irony for Saudi's tourism body to sponsor the largest celebration of women's sport in the world when you consider that, as a woman in Saudi Arabia, you can't even have a job without the permission of your male guardian," said Amnesty International Australia campaigner Nikita White.

Saudi Arabia's sports minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Turki Al Faisal previously told BBC Sport that he believes the country will always face global criticism.

"I think we will always be criticised but we have to look at what's best for our country and our people, and what is actually developing our youth towards the future," Prince Abdulaziz said.

On Wednesday, the nation was awarded the hosting rights to stage the men's Asian Cup in 2027.

Saudi Arabia is also bidding to host the Women's Asian Cup for the first time in 2026.

Although Saudi Arabia only sent women to the Olympics for the first time in 2012, it has taken steps to develop women's football in recent years, with female fans allowed to attend football matches for the first time in 2018.

The Saudi Arabian Football Federation (SAFF) has appointed two women to its board of directors and created a women's football department in 2019.

In 2020, a Women's Football League was launched, and last month Saudi Arabia hosted and won a four-nation women football tournament in their bid to feature in the Fifa women's world rankings for the first time.
