The Owld Fecker 0 Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 (edited) Good evening all - I'm in Thailand, so 6 hours ahead of you. Just a first post, to introduce myself. I used to live in Newcastle and get free paddock tickets, from a friend of mine who's dad used to write for the Chronicle. However, every time I went to SJP I felt "uninvolved" and like an outsider looking in. Boxing day 1962 I was sitting in front of the TV and saw that Sunderland had lost 1-0 at home to Bury, Clough had suffered his injury, Hurley had missed a pen and (please don't ask me why) I felt concerned. I then went to the next home game (Aston Villa, League Cup semi final) and felt "at home" the moment I walked into Roker. We lost 3-1 but that did not change my feeling and I've supported SAFC ever since. In those days, it was, not only, possible but normal to go to watch both teams and I was present against Ujpest Dozsa, when you won the ICFC - Wyn Davies was immense! Was, also, in the Leazes End when there were only (about) 14,000 in the ground, for the derby. It was p***ing down and the ball floated away when placed on the centre spot - We lost 1-0, McGarry scored for you from a pen IIRC. Anyway, enough of my memories. Evening all!

Guest TheNewinsider Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Where are all these reasonable Mackems coming from? Why aren't we being overran by the gormless mongs that post on RTG? I even keep away from the RTG boards as much as I can! You obviously will expect this from mackems, but the mentallity of that place is ignorant, backwards, and downright annoying. A great deal of them share a collective "group mentallity", that throws abuse and condemns everyone and everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's one way of putting it, I just like the term "full of tossers" it's a lot easier than saying that. Edited July 14, 2009 by MackemSi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asprilla 96 Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Hello. My 93 year old neighbour at my last place used to tell me how he'd go to watch Sunderland all the time, even though he was a Newcastle fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 93 year old neighbour at my last place used to tell me how he'd go to watch Sunderland all the time, even though he was a Newcastle fan. Well I'm 76 going on 93 and I've only been in Roker Park once, aye once, and that was to watch Georgie Best & Bobby Charlton and the Man'ure team that wasn't disliked then as much as it is now.

The Owld Fecker 0 Posted July 20, 2009 Author Share Posted July 20, 2009 Many thanks for the greetings from all. Was, slightly, disappointed that I was not told, by anyone, to "f**k off", it is a friendly response to a new poster, on the RTG (where I cannot post, because Roger treats every application, from Thailand, with an AOL email address as spam)!! Anyway, thanks to all apart from: Hello. My 93 year old neighbour at my last place used to tell me how he'd go to watch Sunderland all the time, even though he was a Newcastle fan. Even I'm, nowhere near that age - bassa! Would have loved to have seen "Shack" play though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
