Kid Dynamite 7169 Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 nufc.com is getting shitter by the week. they are calling the decision to hold a minutes silence for best on sunday 'lamentable.' Quite who made them the voice of a nation is beyond me but weve had mintues silences for people a lot less connected with football than best and not a word was said. i wasnt the mans biggest fan but he was THE player of his era. i hope wor al gets a minute around the grounds when he eventually passes on. They dont have news on the site anymore, just fixtures and adverts for shirt sales and competitions. what happened to the insider info on who our next manager/players were going to be or on who belted who in the latest training ground bust up? they obviously arent as well connected as they used to be.

Gemmill 46027 Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 I agree. Used to be my first port of call whenever I signed into the internet. I very rarely use it anymore. It's a shame because it used to be a great site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a thought like. PS If it's insider info you want, keep reading wor place we have a few on the forum, genuine as well.

Jill 0 Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 Yeah I'm getting quite tired of it as well, I rarely check back there now. I know they're just fans with their own views etc but I used to agree with them regularly.. now I find they're a bit *too* bitter/cynical for my liking.

Guest Sima Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 They've turned into a right pair of cunts recently. Their comment about the minutes silence for Best is nothing short of a fucking disgrace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themags 0 Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 match reports are still spot on like the main site has far too many adverts and competitions on it. although they bandwidth bills are probably quite high Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob W 0 Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 Its been sliding for a while - I think their "inside sources" went quiet with SBR leaving Perhaps it was someoen who has designs on the manager's job............ Anyway its terribly formulaic these days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 Wel Dec out of Ant and Dec disagrees with you all.... "We've also found it to be the best source for transfer news in the summer. While the press come up with dozens of names and endless rumours it seems like you sift through all that and only put up the stories with any substance. If it's not on .com then it's not worth reading." Said Dec out of Ant and Dec....allegedly. Does anyone really talk like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweetleftpeg 0 Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 Match reports are still pretty honest imo, but they do seem to have become a right pair of grumpy bastids over the last year.

Craig 6700 Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 They're a couple of fans who have for the past 12 years, written self-opinionated views of supporting Newcastle United. Noboby pays to read what they right, they're not forced into reading it so why do people have a problem with it?? I tell you why, because they've voiced an opinion on a subject that individuals don't agree with - simple as! What can't be denied is that they continue to write what they think and not mask their opinions - for that I admire them. So they don't think that there should have been a minute's silence for Best? They're not exactly on their own on that one, are they? They own a site, they pay for the webspace and bandwidth, they can write what the hell they like IMO.

As it wasn't their forum and their inboxes were getting filled with questions asking when it'll be back up, they simply deleted the link. Nothing to do with anything that was written about them.
