Priorities (Mags Included & off Topic)

Joe, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your partner, my other half also has some medical problems that so far they have not been able to diagnose let alone cure, but its no where near as serious as what your going through. Somethings are just so much more important than 22 blokes kicking a bag of wind around.

A great post and one I hope everyone reads and thinks about.

 

Rarely post on the Sunderland board, but I truly wish all the best for you and the family. Fingers crossed.

 

Likewise, all the best to you and your family.

 

I think its important that our Newcastle cousins know that it was Joe who brought most of us here. He was a regular on BBC606, well when he wasnt banned he was.

When the news came through it was closing Joe mentioned this site and through word of mouth the Sunderland/Newcastle exodus started. Lik Joe says, we may be SAFC and NUFC but we are more importantly North East people.

 

No problem mate.

And your right, you described him perfectly.

Cheers.

 

When Ella was born you had us all in tears Joe, tears of joy but tears all the same, by bloody kids make you feel old.

 

**** me Syd, you're up sharp.

I not been to bed yet.

 

Best of luck, hope everything goes well.

 

I would just like to say a big thanks for the kind words of support on this thread..

There's some sound lads from both sides of the footballing world in the NE who contribute on these boards and to read the words written brings a smile to my face..

and a great day of football ahead..

 

I'll certainly raise a smile if this comes off for you mate. Good luck.

 

Awful to hear, something you wouldn't wish upon your worst enemy. Best of luck mate

 

It seems like sometimes life never throws anyone a break, fingers crossed you get yours in abundance.

There was a family at the school I went to, had a really tragic time of it. Their two eldest, a boy and a girl about 4 years apart, both had a undiagnosable heart defect. The shock of hitting cold water sent them into cardiac arrest and both died in swimming pools (the poor lad actually died at our school swimming pool). A few years later another one of their daughter's died of leukemia. They now have one daughter left and after all of the trauma, she went a bit off the rails at school etc. However I was speaking to an old member of staff recently and found out she'd come back to school, stuck in and managed to get herself off to University. Apparently the whole staff room were in tears on results day!

Throughout that whole ordeal the family stayed positive and are known in the local area for being kind and generous, giving to a million different charities and always being available to help in anything they can. Just shows, as bad as things get, things can and will improve!

As I said, good luck to you and your family - please keep us from the other side updated!

 

good luck to you and your family

 

Positive thoughts to you and your family Joe. Everything crossed for you here.

 

Said this before Joe, best wishes for your lass.

I may point my older son at this thread to make him realise there's more to life than the accumulation of money!

 

Just as you requesed Joe, you have united the best of folks from our boards, And I hope these folk can remember this thread in the future, A very humbling thread, and Im sure there are folks out there, with their own stories to tell, be lucky Joe, and god bless you all.

 

Good luck to you Joe. Sounds a horrible ordeal - best wishes.

 

Tell you what Joe, I have been moaning on for a few days now.lack of sleep becuase of very bad cough and sore throat, feel a bit of a tit now.

 

Come off it Syd, you're always moaning on, maybe you should start supporting another team (ahem) and cheer up a bit.

 

Best wishes to you and the family Joe!
