Mags embarrassing themselves yet again

Has a team ever had as many home cup draws in a 18 month period?

 

Renowned for smashing their city centre up, special people

 

Oh yes indeed there was the phone boxes smashed up after a loss at Wembley and the horse puncher incident which the mags try and defend saying “it was only one person” conveniently forgetting it was during the rioting of many hundreds .

 

Can't ever imagine wearing the opposition colours..... while watching my team.

 

Mrs Em...... ya just divvint understand man

 

Out yet?

 

This came up in my YouTube last night.

Maybes one for our younger supporters but what a night to be there as a Sunderland supporter.

Newcastle the best supporters? In the words of Jim Royale: my arse.

 

What an embarrassment for the 'Newcastle hooligans'

They were full of bravado until their arses went at the 'halfway line force field' and saw who they were up against ...

... the Sunderland end would've gone through them like skittles.

People didn't let their kids go to the away match and there were no families in that end, no one budged when the Mags launched their attack and the police couldn't have stopped them. They were simply too frightened to have a go.

That remains one of my favourite away trips.

After the game the Mags kept well away from Sunderland and smashed up their own town instead , pathetic behaviour.

 

Agreed Sky need a history lesson instead of going on the way they do about them.

 

I was in a box at St James that night and some of their supporters, grown men, were smashing their seats!
You couldn't make it up. Idiots!

 

A fantastic night to be there for this Northumberland Mackem

we drove though Newcastle after the match and it was fun.

 

And what the hell was Jim Smith trying to say,

“Those who ran on the pitch were 12 and 13 years old.”

As if hundreds of unaccompanied schoolchildren would’ve been allowed to go to a night time derby game then rampage through the streets putting policemen in hospital.

 

Tidied

 

Smith might have known, as many had known, that such an invasion was planned in the event of defeat looking likely, and was trying to limit the punishment. It worked.

It was only fifteen years after that tactic had worked against Forest in the cup. That sounds a long time, but it isn't really. It's fifteen years since Bruce was here, and everyone remembers that very clearly.

I was told at the time by someone, ( his brother worked on the ground staff at Syd James' then) that when Courtney told the players in both dressing rooms that the game would be finished, behind closed doors at midnight if necessary, that Aitken and one or two others in that room were not happy at all.

They knew too, and they thought they might get another go, as they had against Forest.

 

I think that is why Courtney was appointed. Top English matches, World Cups, Euro's, European finals. He wouldn't let a bunch of idiots from the Gallowgate End decide the outcome of a game of football he was in charge of

 

Ah the night they showed the world who the real scum were. I remember it well.
