    Sounds like Ritchie is the issue there, but I bet the person who gets the stick will be Bruce.

    tbh carraghers analysis is spot on ... I kinda blame Shelvey tbh although Ritchie should have told him to wait on the free kick so probably yes its down to Ritchie

    Probably the most exciting bit of action of the whole game. Snoddy & Livermore didn't even get to play.

    Newcastle boss Steve Bruce still has the support of owner Mike Ashley despite a poor defeat by fellow Premier League strugglers Brighton on Saturday.

    Sounds like the dreaded "vote of confidence" from the chairman.
    Uber booked for Steve?

    According to Newcastle fans, its not Ashley supporting a manager under pressure, its he doesn't want to folk out the 4million quid to pay Bruce off.

    You're right of course.

    Part of the Dolly & Daisy bulwark upon which Man Utd's successful English dominance was built, to be dragged down to this level by self important millionaire scuffers that he has given a leg up to, and the utterly deluded 'Toon Army' thickos, why does he put up with it? Go now Sir Steve, with your reputation in tact.

    Never relegated with clubs on your watch - of course it was Ehab's ****housery that saw us go down , in any event we can balance Ehab's relegation with the promotions you brought us, our first ever FA Cup final and our venture into Europe*.

    For ever a hero at Hull City, as was your son.


    *Actually you ****ed up for us in Europe, but realistically it was always Premier League survival for us, so on that score you still come up smelling of roses.


    Can't wait for the autobiography and the chapters on what it was like dealing with the lummocks in charge at City.

    Some of the stuff aimed at him online is absolutely disgusting.

    Yes.

    This is a proper footballing 'gentleman'.

    Made the most of his perhaps 'limited' skill set, with 100% whole hearted endeavour, absolutely driven on towards being one key part of the most dominant English club in most of our life times. Did similar when managing sow's ear football clubs.

    And yet these scummy little twats brought up on Strawberry Sundaes, believe that entitles them to claim to being some sort of English football 'force' deserving better and players that really should be stuck in their careers at backwaters like (would have to look up where Ritchie played to be honest) not trying on the pitch. They are the only 'gutless cowards'.

    He always irritated with me with 'little Hull City' and the surrender in Europe, but realistically that's what we are (by comparison to others we were up against in the Prem) and about as far as we would have got in Europe, and for me the successful times he brought us, I for one am eternally grateful.

    (Bizarrely the only real thing left on my City 'tick list' is being champions of a division which he couldn't achieve, and that honour could actually fall to someone like McCann, for whom I might ... just might ... have to reconsider my opinion).

    Walk away from it Brucey and leave those dim wits right in the ****.

    Just and look at their remaining fixtures. They hall all of the top sides to play. He keeps them up it would be amazing.

    Easy to hide on the Internet.

    Is it worse than McCann got when we went down?

    Sure I recognise some of these toothless alky protesters from when we won there in Sept 2008. Grumbling about Keegan going or staying or whatever..

    Or were wanting Ashly to say sorry to them or summat? I don't remember

    From what I gather, Newcastle fans' attitude towards Bruce isn't that different from our attitude towards McCann.

    I like Brucey and he'll always be one of my favourite City managers but it's a little hypocritical to say the Geordies are 'out of order' for wanting Bruce gone when 90% of this board say the same about McCann.

    Bruce and Ashley is to Newcastle fans what McCann and Ehab are to us.

    I was a bit surprised at Brucey actually taking the job in the first place, he was always on a hiding to nothing. I know he is a fan and comes from there, but some never forgave him for managing Sunderland, he was joining a club whereby the owner was disliked as much as the Allam's here, and we know how that ended, also generally the Geordies are a tough lot to please.
