Mags embarrassing themselves yet again

I've mentioned on here before. Went away with my daughter on her dancing class trip to France last summer. Bus full of 10 year olds (mainly girls) and their parents. One parent (Early 40's I would say) wore the full home kit on the bus over. His socks were black but I wasnt sure they were the proper socks, I wasnt interested enough to find out, but surely not? On the way back he climbed onto the bus wearing the away kit. And he was definitely wearing the matching socks. Not only that but we (including the extremely tired kids) had to endure their friendly with Tranmere pumping out of his radio. He might have had ear phones on but we could all still hear it. And if we couldnt quite make out what was going on he kept piping up giving the uninterested majority a regular punditry. But not only that he was singing songs, to himself. Kieran Trippier over the wall was a particular highlight. Now I know it is our norm to have a negative view towards Newcastle fans but I thought that this type of behavior was a negative stereotype that doesnt actually exist. We make it up or we exaggerate. I couldnt believe it. Nor could the rest of the parents, particularly those who asked for the kids film that was on the monitor on the front of the bus to be turned up in order to drown out the football. I chuckled when he came on the bus wearing the home kit but gave him the benefit of the doubt. When he jumped on wearing the 'away fixture' I nearly collapsed.

Edit. Just googled it, it was the 21/22 third kit. I remember it cos the colour was quite striking.

 

Yee just divvent undarstarnd man

 

Mind altering stupidly. It's true that all clubs have such fans, but no club anywhere has even close to the number of that lot's.

I just can't understand it. When I travelled a lot for work, especially in England, I always found myself letting people know I wasn't one of them, often even feigning indifference to football.

Their reputation is widespread believe me. It wasn't good years ago, before they were subsumed by Bin Salman. God knows how low it is now.

Edit. In fairness, this weirdness was never evident at all prior to Hall taking over, but it seems forever ingrained now

 

It was the fact that, judging by his behavior, you'd think he was treating the fixture as if it was a cup final or important league fixture. When they went behind he was subdued and frustrated, I particularly remember him giving Chris Wood a verbal volley or two. As soon as they scored then took the lead he was all chipper. My wife, who thinks football and all of its foibles is utter nonsense, who even finds my, in comparison, luke warm passion/interest totally foreign, had never been witness to this sort of fervour. Ever since then I have noticed that she has gone easy on me when concerning football. Even when im constantly checking up on scores every 30 seconds she would often get narked. Not so much since our bus to Paris. Like as though she has accepted that I could have been alot worse.

 

Oh yes. You could have been so much worse!

 

All of a sudden I'm not so thrilled about my forthcoming holiday abroad...

 

Was on a works away day yesterday and there was a mag lass (“massive fan”). She was sat next to me on the way home. “Bet you can’t wait to go to the first home game” … “oh I don’t have a season ticket. We sell out every game”

I said “you mean since the murderers took over?” She replied “well yeah, nobody wanted to go when Ashley was there” to which i said “well I went when we were in an awful position and awful to Watch with an awful owner. Thought your fans were best in the world. If you were that big a fan, you’d have had a season ticket when Ashley was there and not had a problem getting one when the new guys took over”

She made some lame excuses!! Her fiancé goes to games. Hasn’t got a season card but he manages to get tickets… Thought they had a 5 year waiting list?

 

TFG in Grangetown McDonald's wearing the hoop top, will not rise to the bait.

 

TFG?

 

Honest to God man...you can't say that then disappear mate. Hoop top...Celtic? It's a very cryptic post...

 

Might have been the hooped top the mags had....mid 90's?

 

sorry Big Mac arrived, yes the purple and blue hoops, he was with his mrs who looked a mean bitch. i said you should be ashamed wearing that ****e in Sunderland.

These idiots really are proud to be seen supporting Sunderland, aren't they (I presume that we share the attendance money) . . . . stupid twats

 

Some funny replies on there, the dozy twat is getting rinsed.
“that’s a fivehead, not a forehead” gave me a good chortle..

 

In order to become a Newcastle supporter I am convinced they have to have an important part of their brain removed
