Mags embarrassing themselves yet again

Always an excuse....

 

The usual mag at a Sunderland match.

Don't know what's worse for the poor lad, wearing that top or being ginger.
An unfortunate combination, shall we say

 

There's gonna be one day when a fan of the team they're hiding behind will do something, I would be embarrassed if another fan hid in amongst ours wearing his team's colours whilst at an away match. On another note they shouldn't be allowed into the stadium or ejected if seen in the stadium

 

Let them turn up, it must be nice for them to see a team of young lads try their best rather than watch a group of mercenaries who's only loyalty is to their bank account. I mean they dont care about us at all, oh no, definitely not, no sir..

 

Since they were bought by Saudi, Newcastle aren't well liked.

You're absolutely right, if one of these weirdos tries the same stunt at Leeds or Boro, for example, someone will give them a dig for sure. The clubs have ground regulations they expect everyone to adhere to, Hull City didn't yesterday ....

"Any individual who has entered any part of the Ground designated for the use of any group of supporters to which he does not belong may be ejected from the Ground either for the purposes of his own safety or for any other reason."

 

Should also be done for inciting behaviour as they know how volatile a derby it is between us

 

Well with the Spanish attitude to tourists at the moment , all those who would have gone to see Barcelona and Madrid are obviously flockjng there now . Not.

 

One day one of them will get a real kicking and they'll try to blame Sunderland fans. I just hope the mountain of evidence of them being provocative pricks is presented to silence their moaning

 

This is the one thing that will stop it unfortunately, and it will happen eventually

 

Huddersfield last season, there was one stood about 3 seats in making his mouth go. No mag shirt, but obviously a mag. When we scored we goaded **** out of him, and kept it going. He was nearly crying by the end, the stewards laughing their tits off at him!! Behaving like a big kid. Dishing it out at 0-0, not able to take it when getting beat!

 

Honestly, I can't understand it. Why would you want to go to a match featuring your arch rivals just on the off chance that they get beat? More risk of being singled out, humiliated or worse than getting some gloating points. Yet week in week at least one of the cretins gets spotted at one of our games.

 

Not usually a fan of Oliver Holt but this kind of hits the nail on the head - oh dear, never mind!

Newcastle United is looking more and more like Saudi Arabia's forgotten project as they focus on other sports and the World Cup, writes OLIVER HOLT

Fresh revelations concerning Saudi Arabia’s purchase of Newcastle United three years ago emerged on Monday. The fact that they appeared to confirm the direct involvement of the kingdom’s de facto leader, Mohammed bin Salman, in the takeover will have come as little surprise to anyone.

Some of the details in the leaked cache of WhatsApp messages were rather amusing. The suggestion that Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly, who have been directors’ box guests of the new regime at St James’s Park, were recruited as Saudi stooges to promote the takeover, is a vignette to be met with hollow laughs.

The pressure heaped upon the Premier League by the British government of the day to force the takeover through has been in the public domain for some time but the lobbying of Lord Grimstone, the then minister for investment whose name is straight out of Nicholas Nickleby, provides more hints of interference in football from above.

With every month that passes, the selling of the club’s soul to one of the most repressive states in the world and the havoc it has wrought on Premier League clubs now at war with each other, looks more and more like the trigger for a sorry descent into English football’s deep well of dystopia.

It is hard not to feel some sympathy for a Newcastle fanbase that has been starved of success for so long, that has supported its team so loyally and which was so desperate for success that some were prepared to ignore Saudi Arabia’s appalling human rights record when they realised they were to become the club with the richest owners in world football.

A more limited section of supporters, typically active on social media, have become enthusiastically aggressive apologists for an autocratic regime, which treats women as second-class citizens, has a predilection for mass executions, murders journalists in cold blood and outlaws freedom of expression and same-sex relationships.

Some of the local media have been compromised: Sky Sports’ reporters in the north-east, in particular, stood out for their sycophantic coverage of the Saudi takeover. They stopped short of wearing tea towels on their heads in imitation of a keffiyeh, as some supporters did. But sometimes it felt as if that prospect was only a beat away.

And for what? Three years after the takeover, Newcastle United is looking more and more like Saudi Arabia’s forgotten project.

If the club has not been abandoned, then it has certainly been moved quietly into the shadows and allowed to atrophy. When the takeover was completed, Amanda Staveley, the dynamic and charismatic businesswoman who brokered the deal between the Saudis and the previous owner, Mike Ashley, boasted that Newcastle would win the Premier League in the next five to 10 years.

‘We are bloody loaded,’ an article in The Mag, a Newcastle supporters’ fan site, said a couple of years ago, ‘with owners who are not here for one afternoon and the Carabao Cup. When Amanda Staveley says Newcastle United will win the Carabao Cup, the FA Cup, the European Cup and the Premier League, it’s not some knee jerk reaction, it’s simply stating a fact.’

Staveley has gone now, of course, and her promises have gone with her. Even though the fans are still being told to believe that the Saudis have not lost interest, the facts are not particularly reassuring.

Newcastle looks like an afterthought in the Saudi sporting empire these days. All the big money is going on the LIV Golf project and, increasingly, fabulous levels of investment in taking over the world of boxing.

It appears that tennis is the next frontier. Last weekend, Riyadh hosted the Six Kings Slam for a host of elite players with prize money that dwarfed the rewards on offer at Wimbledon, Roland Garros, Flushing Meadow and Melbourne.

In football, the Saudis, to their credit, are concentrating on trying to boost their own domestic league, the Saudi Pro League, with more and more signings to bolster the initial flurry of talent that saw Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar signed up.

Beyond that, Saudi Arabia seems almost certain to be the venue for the 2034 men’s football World Cup, the ultimate prize in the determined effort to push the kingdom into the mainstream and reduce its reliance on oil. Besides that, the Newcastle project pales into insignificance.

In the headlong hurry of Saudi spending, Newcastle appear to have been all but forgotten. Some blame the disinterest on the Premier League’s profit and sustainability rules (PSR), which have prohibited the kind of transfer business Newcastle fans were anticipating when the Saudis bought the club.

That does not explain, though, why there has been so little investment in, say, the club’s training ground, which has seen some improvements but hardly the lavish changes that so many other clubs have made to their facilities.

There is still talk of covert visits from Saudi delegations to the north east and there are ongoing discussions about the future of St James’ Park and whether to embark on developing the current stadium or moving to a new site. The owners, though, have not been in a rush to turn Newcastle’s home into the state-of-the-art arena that many assumed they desired.

Eight of Newcastle’s squad for the home game against Brighton on Saturday - which Newcastle lost - were players manager Eddie Howe inherited and six of the eight played in the game. So much for the galactico era in the north east that was widely predicted when the Saudis arrived to so much fanfare.

It is not all gloom and doom. Thomas Tuchel’s appointment as England manager means that Howe, who has done such a fine job at Newcastle, will probably not be poached by anyone any time soon. And even if Newcastle’s next two league games are against Chelsea and Arsenal, they have an easier run of fixtures in the build-up to Christmas.

Gone are the days of not so long ago when they spent seasons haunted by the fear, or the reality, of relegation. With a fair wind, they’ll finish in the top half of the table next May. Maybe they’ll have a run at a cup. It’s just that none of it is quite the way it was supposed to be.

AND it's gets even better! Fancy relying on those 2 ****wits!!!

I mean this from the absolute bottom of my heart

****. The. Mags.

 

Another setback for Callum Wilson He’s an absolute sick note.

 

Long may it continue

 

Isn't it funny that the mags say that they need a striker with Wilson injured and Isak on and off with injuries yet they got shot of a striker thats now second in the Premier League scoring charts and second in Forest's all-time Premier League goals list.

 

To be fair didn't plenty laugh when they signed him?

 

Greggs and a Bollinger anyone?
