Mags embarrassing themselves yet again

Filming yourself with faux rage and passion. If you were THAT into the game, the last thing you'd think of was to switch your camera around and film your reaction. Bell end

 

And now hes allowed to do it after games too fabulous stuff

 

Great post. Smith was an appalling reptile, and when he was jailed it wasn't for long enough.

I hope he and Poulson, who were both as corrupt as hell, are suffering in the hell they must be in.

 

Yes. The whole hype has created a fragile and insular metality in many in the Newcastle area, particularly the football fans, many of whom are borderline disturbed.

But football gets a lot of publicity, way more than it should really. And this has had the effect of making people around the country at best laugh at them, and more commonly deride them. They really are not liked at all now and I always make when I'm elsewhere that people know I'm from Durham.

 

Right. This is the way I experienced it too. I always preferred Wearsider to Mackem (or Mackum when i first saw it), but it got to the point where we needed a common label to differentiate us from that lot. Agree this is sad and John Hall et al have some much to blame. I'd heard of T Dan Smith but didn't know much about him before your post.

The mag thing that made me smile the most was the 'forever in our shadow' thing. They really did and do seem to think they are better than us - and, bizarrely, as a 'people', not just as a football thing. I've always thought it was really the other way around. There are always exceptions, but people in Sunderland always struck me as more reasonable and realistic, not trying to 'one up on you' all the time and trying to prove they are better when its quite obvious that they're not. I know banter can be fun, but mags are a special breed and I tend just to leave them alone as much as I can.

 

That's routine for him. He gets away with that stuff every week. No idea how, he's probably the dirtiest player in that league.

 

That's true. And that kind of behaviour always, always comes from an inferiority complex.

 

Aye but 92er Durham Mags call themselves "Southern Geordies" now and are even worse than someone from Warlsend who has probably never been South of the Tyne, so has an excuse to be ignorant about Wearside. The 92er Durham Mag is from Wearside, speaks with an accent far more Wear than Tyne and professes to hate Sunderland and Wearside, even though they are from Wearside.

 

Good post and I believe the local media have contributed greatly to their delusions

 

Great post. Can I bookmark this somehow!?

 

The advent of the Durham Mag was just a disaster
