not_a_racist

Is George a pisshead in the way he is portrayed by some on here? Or is it just that old fashioned tabloid shite?

Again. I'm a minority but I always liked the lads attitude. He never moaned about being played all over the place unlike others we could mention. He was played out of position for most of his time here and suffered. Never moaned though. Good luck to him. Hope he rediscovers his confidence and shows what a lot of people knew. He had everything it took to be a very good footballer - except a manager who played him in his correct position(SBR and GS both guilty of that)

Doesnt really explain the other instances in Fergies book does it? McGrath - an exceptional centre half sold because he couldnt behave Whiteside - a very good player sold because he couldnt behave Strachan- sold becasue he couldnt tow the line Stam - sold because he couldnt tow the line There is little doubt that we are comparing chalk and cheese but the basic premise is the same. There is ONE boss. Players need to realise that understand they have a duty to behave professionally. Not on the field. Not off the field. BOTH. Comapring Cantona and Bellamy is indeed like comapring Ferguson and Souness.

spot on. These debates are going to go on and on until those who can't see the simplicity of it all ..... 48261[/snapback] Souness is a shit manager and a bully. End of. 48274[/snapback] Youre a racist and thick. End of.

I expected him not to say anything at all that week. NUFC didnt need it. I mean OUR club. No his. His MANAGER didnt need it. I expected him to do what was best for the TEAM and the CLUB. NOT himself. He chose himself. Not for the last time either. NB: there are footballers who are talented and hardworking and professional. We (NUFC and its fans) DO NOT need to settle for those who are second best in every way. e.g. Craig Bellamy Or do we? He isnt and never was THAT good. Shearer was. Beardsley was. Owen is. Bellamy never was and never has been. He wasnt worth it in the end. He had his chances and blew them. The night after the Norwich game, an awful lot of people realised that. Please dont try and compare top players like Cantona who may have been edgy with Bellamy. One was a top class footballer. One is good.

but They kept on winning, and he bought Rio Ferdinand, eventually. Seriously though, I know he is still playing in Italy etc, but wasn't the school of thought at the time that his motivation to play for manu had dipped ? You can't say that about Bellamy, he was the clubs top scorer and playing better than ever under Robson. 48240[/snapback] The top scorer thing isnt the best arguement though is it? He isnt and never has been a good goalscorer. His strengths are his pace and his running off the ball. His control is actually pretty poor. He looked good (better than he had for a while) but his demeanour and his attitude after that Norwich game - when his manager and the club needed unity - did it for me. the last straw. The Rio analogy is fair. There are always other players available. DO you know what I mean by that Norwich situation? The look on people faces in the pub after the game was one of incredulity. Then he said that and it said all we need to know about NUFC and the attitude of the players at the time. 48248[/snapback] There was absolutely nothing wrong with his attitude after the Norwich game. Any professional worth his salt wants to play. The trouble with Newcastle is that, on too many occasions in the last few years, and especially in the last year, there has been too many who have been on the pitch and not wanted to play. So how can you criticise someone who wanted to play and win ? The last straw for me with Souness, almost before he got his foot in the door, was when he took Bellamy off at Charlton, the best player on the field, and ruined any chance of winning the game. This decision lacked all credibility in a football sense, and as such was nothing other than him firing the first shot of a man hell bent on a confrontation, which we ALL knew he would do with the players when he got the job. 48260[/snapback] Norwich? Nothing wrong? You werent at the pub afterwards then. Or reading the papers. There was hell on about his attitude. Burnt his bridges for me and many many others that day. There is more to football than simply crossing the line. 'Craig Bellamy does what is best for Craig Bellamy' He didnt have the spine to fight for his place in a side that Bobby managed. The bloke who rescued him? In his time of need? Toldf me all I needed to know about the lad. Selfish. Didnt give a toss about the club. Rightly gone and replaced by someone better The manager needs to go but he got quite a few things right. the biggest problem last season was the quality pros were gone. I mean that in football and non-footballing terms. Woodgate, Speed and Shearer werent there. that meant more to me than the loss of a bloke who didnt want to be here unless he got his own way.

I take it that was at me. No, I wasn't banned for racism, it was for getting into an argument which deteriorated into a slanging match, but for me, it is all water under the bridge now and also for the others concerned I am sure. Now, why don't you answer my question. Whats your excuse ? 48207[/snapback] No it wasnt you.However, racism is NEVER water under the bridge though. On that you are wrong. Me? I simply prefer to remind people of their problems. Personally, other than thinking you are very very wrong on Bellamy and obsessed by Souness, I have no problem with you either. 48210[/snapback] no, I said wasn't racism. It was just a slanging match, but it's all done and over, I let bygones be bygones in real life too, when apologies etc are genuine and meant in good spirit. As far as the football team goes, I am only interested in what goes on when players "cross the white line" - that is one of Souness' sayings. And another of his hypocritical ones. Bellamy may have been out of order calling his manager in public but a lot of things led to this. In pure football terms, Souness started it the day he subbed him at Charlton to make a point of authority, putting that before winning the game, as Bellamy was the best player on the field. Proper managers just do not do this, they recognise who their biggest assets are, and gain their respect, especially if they are spikey players with desire to get the best from them. I also go by results. And they speak for themselves. 48219[/snapback] so why hass Alan oliver been on national radio intimatating that he has a picture of Craig Bellamy making hand gestures at SBR? You assume Souness wasnt simply resting Bellamy. He had been carrying a knock and had been busy at the time. Souness isnt the answer. However, workers int he workplace do far more than work! That is why the likes of Ferguson/Moyes/Wenger get rid of those who stir up thte shite. Think Whiteside, strachan, Sharpe, Cole, Yorke at Man Utd , Blomquists public dressing down at Everton as examples. We need a new manager. We needed more professional players. If it was all about 'across the white line' I would agree with you. But it isnt. It is naive to suggest it is. 48224[/snapback] I don't consider myself naive ........ ! .... Don't you think Ferguson sold Cole and Yorke for football reasons, ie having won the European Cup, he didn't stand still, needed to freshen up the team etc...you can't stand still in football, and he bought Van Nistelrooy. It was Souness who sold Yorke and Cole for personality reasons, and Cole especially is still looking as fit and hungry as ever at 34. Whiteside, aye, was probably a knacker, but the difference betwen Ferguson and Souness is that Ferguson still has the ability to put out teams and motivate them and manage them into winning teams, Souness doesn't. I don't know if he had a problem with Strachan ? He had him at Aberdeen and he was part of a top team there who broke the Celtic - Rangers stranglehold, and won a european trophy as well. We def need a new manager. And hopefully it will be soon, because if it is there is still a lot to play for this season. 48226[/snapback] Yeah, we need a new manager. Ferguson reckons that Cole and Yorke has been around too long and got too comfortable. Coasting. Basically. Wrong attitude. Ferguson hated Strachan. Still does apparently. Strachan was an exceptional player and many Man Utd fans pointed to Strachan winning the league when he left as the problem Ferguson had with 'personalities'. Now there is a world of difference between Ferguson and Souness but they both demand players to be professional in every respect. Strachan was tolerated for the reasons you gave earlier. Hewas a bloody good player. Fergie then had enough. Strachan won the league and various individual honours. MAn Utd fans went mental. Who was right? there isnt a right answer. I personally feel Cole gets a rough ride when he returns but he deserves it for his daft song. Did more for NUFC than any forward player we have had in recent times other than PB and AS. 48227[/snapback] I think Strachan was a top top quality player personally, who didn't really get all the plaudits he deserved. I suppose that following Strachan going to Leeds, when Manu got Cantona from Leeds they got their own back though ! 48228[/snapback] They did but by that time Ferguson had stamped his personality on his club. Good pros with ability. That team he had (pre-Bosman) doesnt look excellent but it was: Peter Schmeichel Parker, Bruce. Pallister, Irwin Kanchelskis, Ince, Keane, Giggs Hughes, Cantona Ince got the bullet cos his attitude was wrong. Apparently Hughes did too. Others like McClair stayed for their professionalism rather than ability. Ferguson is an altogether different manager to Souness. He can motivate and adapt in ways GS cant. However, they both know that the basis is professionalism and a basic understanding of who is boss. Businesses like football clubs cant work with laissez faire management for long. 2003/04 we were seeing what resulted form pandering to the whims of millionaire kids too often.

but They kept on winning, and he bought Rio Ferdinand, eventually. Seriously though, I know he is still playing in Italy etc, but wasn't the school of thought at the time that his motivation to play for manu had dipped ? You can't say that about Bellamy, he was the clubs top scorer and playing better than ever under Robson. 48240[/snapback] The top scorer thing isnt the best arguement though is it?

Then he said that and it said all we need to know about NUFC and the attitude of the players at the time.

Appears he is bit more ruthless than his former manager from what I gather. He was in a situation where he had to buy cleverly at Ipswich and failed after finishing 5th.Matteo Serrini(sp?), Finidi George etc didnt work out. However, he did manage to do well there and wasnt one to suffer fools gladly. I know he did manage to set up the systems fantastically well though e.g. youth policy etc I think he would struggle here in that we are more demanding. He is comfortably easier to like than Souness but I think we need someone strong with a proven record. Whether that is the German fella I dont know. Time for a change though and Geoge Burley wouldnt be the worst.

I take it that was at me. No, I wasn't banned for racism, it was for getting into an argument which deteriorated into a slanging match, but for me, it is all water under the bridge now and also for the others concerned I am sure.

Youre obsessed. Souness was never the answer on the field. However, he could spot an arsehole a mile away. He did and he got shot of them. Job done. Move on to proper manager now. If people arent bright enough to recognise the problems caused by Bellamy/Robert et al then that is their problem. Get an education. In the meantime...concentrate on real evil...racism. 48203[/snapback] you're right, finishing in the top 3 and 4 etc isan obsession, I tend to think players who get us to those positions are good players for the club. I'm obsessed with having more like them at the club. Totally obsessed in fact. I dream about them, all the time, I want more. And see the bold bit, you are obsessed as well it would seem. 48211[/snapback] NUFC looks at 'Kick Racism Out of Football' I will always be obsessed by the ignorance of intolerance in our ranks regartding that issue. I dream of more Michael Owen/Scott Parker/Emre types. Good professionals with talent. Not arseholes who think we should feel blessed they are ours. They never were good enough for that. As for top 4? Of course a good manager might get us back there. The current one wont but he has done his job. 2004 was an interesting year though. Speed, shearer and Woddgate basically left in various ways. Takes some replacing doesnt it? They are the players we miss. The other two are good but much more easily replaced than the type we really lost. Interesting that you never heard those 3 'proper' players whining like bitches. 48217[/snapback] I totally agree with you about Speed and Woodgate. I just think you have to bend to accomodate personalities sometimes, that is the managers job. Would you say that Alex Ferguson hasn't "managed" Roy Keane for years, he also has, and had, spikey players over the years, none more so than Cantona ? Do you think Souness would have sold or managed Cantona ? 48223[/snapback] Mute point isnt it. Rightly or wrongly Souness has bought some very dodgy characters and kept them. Keanes character is very different to Bellamys. Cantona is erudite. He is also a very different player. On character levels (but certainly not ability levels) you can draw similarities between Keane and Dicks. I cant think of many in world football who are like Cantona but I accept that bending to accomodate is fine until the bending has got to contortionist levels. NUFC in that summer had. If Bellamy had an ounce of sense he would still be here. He didnt get the fact that he wasnt more important than NUFC. Shame as I was one of few who thought he was a good buy when he first got him. Robert was my favourite player. But they had gone too far. Others should have followed in truth.

I take it that was at me. No, I wasn't banned for racism, it was for getting into an argument which deteriorated into a slanging match, but for me, it is all water under the bridge now and also for the others concerned I am sure.

Yeah I had problems on Newcastle-Online with comments made by HTL and these were well publicised however theres nothing I've seen since then to corrobarate the statments you are making and until theres signs of anyone breaking the board rules then Im happy with things. Like I've pointed out before there was once a thread years ago which ran to many pages entitled "Peasepuds a racist" which brew from the single misuse of the word coloured. If you have documented proof that someone on this board is racist towards other board members then Im happy to see it otherwise personally Id prefer it if you didnt ruin every thread there is with these things. 48215[/snapback] So people are only racists at certain times? Nonsense peasepud. Whether on this board or another board racism is racism. That person is thus a racist. Does NUFC need that? Does it need the likes of Lee Bowyer? Whether they are castigated for it rather than punished by law for it is immaterial. We know it and thus we need to ensure they are reminded that it isnt something that can be tolerated. Its a one strike offence I am afraid. Go to SJP. Stand next a copper and shout something racist at Shola tomorrow. See if you get let back in. TO use your analogy, you assume they would let you into Goodison, anfield etc. they wouldnt. Ever.

Youre obsessed. Souness was never the answer on the field. However, he could spot an arsehole a mile away. He did and he got shot of them. Job done. Move on to proper manager now. If people arent bright enough to recognise the problems caused by Bellamy/Robert et al then that is their problem. Get an education.

my 2 best mates are lads I met when I was 17, one who I have gone to the match with since, the other is a mackem who was at the 1973 cup final. We will be having a few jars and settling a few bets tomorrow whatever happens .... and the mackem was my best man when I got married, the the other mag is married to a mackem ! 48200[/snapback] Similar to LM. Best man a mackem. few good mates who are. They crawl out of the woodwork at times like 'we always win 2:1' Good banter

Whats the obsession with deciding everyones a racist all of a sudden? every thread Im wandering into has you saying "Aye but he's racist scum" or accusing other members of it. Lets see the evidence you have that Bowyers racist and I'll listen, an argument in McDonalds 6 years ago isnt proof. Personally, I think that LB is one of the few players this season to be showing his commitment. 48204[/snapback] You of all people should know peasepud. The re-emergence of racists like Lee Bowyer and HTL arent good for NUFC. Never will be. Have you seen the comments from McDonalds? Not being served by a 'Paki' isnt enough. Emma...his girlfriend cant have his kids cos' 'my mum says you have something in you' something was asian blood and there may have been a throwback Leeds? It doesnt take the wit of Soloman does it? HTL? We all know he is a racist. Do we need that? When we have 'Kick racism out of football'? Probably not. Lee Bowyers performance aghainst Fulham was the worst from any player in black and white since Peter Cartwright. He isnt good enough to ride out his racist background

Youre obsessed. Souness was never the answer on the field. However, he could spot an arsehole a mile away. He did and he got shot of them. Job done. Move on to proper manager now.

I was trying to figure out what HowayTheLads was an anagram there for a second! HTL has his own stalker! Booze fuelled tirade by any chance? 48167[/snapback] Were you banned for racism? Is raacism a temporary thing? Some of us have standards and understand the problems with tolerating arseholes and thinking that prejudice of that sort is ephemeral.

Quoted for truth brother. 46938[/snapback] 'sup, my nigga. 48181[/snapback] ??? 48184[/snapback] I wouldnt have signed Bowyer. I wouldnt have signed Milner/Viana/Bassedas/Cort and thus we would have had 25million quid to sign a 'proper' player. I would have sold Bowyer in the summer if he was in the squad. I would have played Lee Clark from the beginning. I would have played Emre from the start. I wouldnt have sold Darren Ambrose. I wouldnt have bought Diego Gavilan and Wayne Quinn and would have used that £3 million to buy Damien Duff who we tried to buy in the year 2000.

Yeah. I have a well adjusted cognitive ability. He lives under a rock and prefers to avoid anyone with more than a Tynemouth tan. He lies and isnt bright enough to worm his way out of things and is a known racist.

TBH and sad as I am, the reality is that I have to agree with PL. WE are stuck with this fuckwit manager. My last post till he goes, can't be interested in wasting so much negativity on this shitface. SOUNESS OUUUUUUUUTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 48101[/snapback] So are just using HTL again now? Think you have ridden out the RACIST storm? I dont think its easy to forget that sort of stuff.

I would love to hit him in the face with a hammer. Harsh, but in fairness, true. 48031[/snapback] To be fair I don't see anything harsh in that at all. 48039[/snapback] Neanderthal man wouldnt though would he? At least UM knows it wrong! He has a brain though. 48098[/snapback] Neanderthal man wouldn't what? 48117[/snapback] Try to keep up Brian. Its funny that your name is the anagram of your weakest point isnt it? Racist

Making snap assessments isn't something I do, mate. I'm sure you believe that, however, in lieu of having something intelligent to contribute you try a bit of fishing. As you've admitted before, it's just the way you are, eh. Obviously some of us care more about the club and the topic at hand than others do. I suppose that's inevitable these days. I don't think anybody has ever claimed Robert is good at the bits of my post you highlighted, which is exactly why I posted it, as well you know. The question is, will Lucky do those things and will he better than Robert at the things Robert does well, or even just as good as Robert at the positive things? What I've seen of Lucky doesn't fill me with confidence that he will do the defensive work. ( I do own a TV, so while I admit my view of Lucky is somewhat limited, I can confirm that my exposure to football isn't just sitting in a stand at St James. I have seen him before ) But as I say, £9.5m of the clubs money gone on a player we didn't need. Assuming players are fit, we could be sitting here now looking ahead to Sunday with a strike pairing of Bellamy/Owen and Robert on the left. Instead, we have a 35 year old whose legs have gone and a kid on the left who looks out of his depth a large part of the time, and the club is £25m down. I know which option the mackems would prefer facing. You can bury your head in the sand all you like and be happy with that, but some of us aren't. Some of us regard this as poor management and a waste of the clubs money. 47684[/snapback] Yeah but you make ignorant racist remarks you half witted turd. Nice to see you have maintained the tabloid outlook (the very humerous "Lucky") Robert loves the club doesnt he? So does Bellamy? thats why they pissed about in the press/media and with the previous manager did you go to the Norwich game (or any other for that matter?) and return home/pub like the rest of us to hear our Craig saying "Craig Bellamy will do what is best for Craig Bellamy" when we tried to buy someone better! Heyho. At least now we have Parker, Emre, Solano, Owen, Luque you can manage a story to tell people you were right all along that we would sign Dickov! Somehow you will believe it. Youre a brainless, racist Brian. I'm sure your dad is proud of you. 48092[/snapback] OMG. Christine has let you out again. Never said we'd sign Dickov actually. What I did say is that it won't matter who this 'manager' signs because he won't be able to manage them properly. That's why I said I wouldn't give him any money after signing Faye and Boumsong. Can't see where I'm wrong so far, but then you know better of course. 48119[/snapback] Straight back into lies again. You did say we would end up with Dickov. Youre a racist and a liar.You also said Boumsong was a good player. Freaky boy. Your hatred of Souness and black people leads you into weird but altogether obvious signs mental illness or just idiocy. Proabably the latter.
