Mags embarrassing themselves yet again

I think I’ll have to avoid anything political from now on …

… I get people being fanatical about the football but some are really vitriolic about politics.

Some of it is really hateful which surprises me tbh.

 

Good post mate. I've dobbed in and out of the political debate on here from time to time,but,like you,I've found that,in the fervour to express their idealogical views some people have become abusive and hateful.
This is a forum primarily to enable fans of our wonderful club to debate issues around the club activities,both on and off the field,and,also to provide a platform for general discussion on other issues from the world we live in. I welcome all of this,as it often allows me to gain information and insight into the club and its' football,but also other aspects of life of which I may not have been particularly aware.
However, I'm not in favour of it being used as a propoganda machine to try to gain support for political views,which I understand can be genuinely held, but which degenerate much of the time into abusive contempt and downright hatred towards fan from fellow fan.
Surely,opportunities for discussion of that nature must exist elsewhere.

 

What a fekking liar you are as well as a gobshyte

 

Felt that way in 2020 to be honest, feel ambivalent about it now. Revenge is a dish best served cold.

 

Liar is a bit strong there like, miss quoted / attributed? Gobshyte, yeah, I'll accept that marra.

Apologies Roger, I attributed something to you incorrectly, I cannot find any trace of you saying posters had been chased off. I've edited my original post (which is still visible in your reply).

 

I think it’s fair to say that some do say there are posters who’ve been ‘chased off’ the board. Those saying that are often those who are the most abusive to other people.

If you dish it out you have to be prepared to take it in return …

… you can’t have it all your own way.

 

Sorry but there's something here that's becoming sick and, possibly, comes under the banner of 'racism'.

I'm a Geordie as are family in the Chopwell area who are Newcastle supporters going back 100 years.

This current stupidity, from Newcastle pubs, is childish and crass in my opinion.

It can only lead to bad feeling, bad reviews and damage to the premises which will be reciprocated I'm sure.

Seriously, is this what banter is reduced to, ffs it's pathetic and not the cracking NE humour I grew up with.

It's just sad mate, and typical Mags needing to try and belittle 'little old Sunderland' to make themselves feel better. I think they're getting worse because the majority of Sunderland fans just don't respond to it, because we know it's pathetic and just wouldn't lower ourselves to their level.

But what makes that non story worse, is the fact the Chronicle thinks it's 'newsworthy'!

 

That's the saddest thing isn't it, how can that paper have any self respect ...

... people in Newcastle support Sunderland, people in Sunderland are Geordies.

This stupidity will keep growing because they're absolutely terrified we'll beat them in the derby..

I'd given up on that idea, after the FA Cup match, but the gap has narrowed so much I think we can do it ...

... they won't enjoy going to Sunderland and they already know it.

 

I think we can do it as well. And so do they.
