I was in Edniburgh for a couple of shows at the Festival and took in Ardal's show last night and he has included a gag about the Newcastle fan punching the horse.
It gets better the story that just keeps giving!
now that was a quality line hahaha
You weren't by any chance at the Best of the Fest show on Saturday? There was a one lad from Sunderland got picked on out of an audience of 800.
This was three years ago at Newcastle Central station. Selective memories some of you lads.
Police were prepared for possible trouble on Saturday as Sunderland fans travelled from the North East to play Hearts in Edinburgh.
An operation was launched to make sure the travelling supporters were ushered safely from Newcastle Central Station and on to a Metro to keep them out of the city centre.
But gang of 40 arrived at the station, at around 8pm, intent on causing violence following their team’s draw.
Four police dogs, called, Clio, Floyd, Earl and Diesel were left injured after they were kicked and stamped on while on the floor.
Chief Supt Smith continued: “An investigation is under way to trace these people and have them brought to task for their actions.
“There is no room for people such as this amongst the law-abiding football fans who go week in and week out to support their team. Therefore we’ll also be progressing football banning orders against these violent individuals to ensure they don’t spoil future games for the true supporters.
“We are well aware that the majority of football fans do not behave in this way. Law-abiding fans can rest assured we’re doing all we can to track down these particular individuals as soon as possible.”
But then again Sunderland fans are angels aren't they? Lets face it, both clubs have an unwanted element.

Yeah mate, I saw it on the telly. The Sunderland fans looked like angels.
Leave it at that if you like, I can't be arsed to argue. We accept we have some arsehole following our team, do you agree you do?

No, I mean, away fans ushered through tight spaces in close proximity to police dogs being escorted out of someone elses town can not be compared to home fans kicking off in their own open streets, breaking from crowds to confront police horses. Both deplorable actions from the individuals involved in breaking the law but the situations are completely different. One is crowd unrest and the other surmounts to rioting. I'm sorry mate if we're drawing up mindless unrelated comparisons there's 4 newcastle pitch invasions that I can think of.![]()
There has been a couple of occasions at sol where your "fans" have encroached on the pitch and attacked Newcastle fans, and on one occasion, our keeper. In no way I'm condoning the action of our fans, but some of you lot seem blinkered. (No horse pun intended)
Why's that Bri? Horse, dogs?
