Thread | It’s the ‘Don’t let your kids drink this EFL Cup Final’
at 14:41 16 Mar 2025
Time to wheel out this classic:
https://www.vice.com/en/article/the-newcastle-horse-puncher-cant-accept-that-hes
“I’m no anaesthesiologist, but I find the first 17 pints tend to deal with most niggling pains”
“He has joined the select group of people who know what it’s like to feel wet snout and downy warm hair crunch beneath your knuckles”
I hope it’s at least another 56 years before the Toon win a trophy, for no other reason than, I really like the Mackems and the abuse they take from Newcastle is over the top (even if the Stadium of Shite matchday park and ride is a total farce and I had to walk 3 miles back to my car).

It's quite sobbering to listen to this once hard man and general grade A 'nutter' talk about how his previous career might affect his family in the coming years.

I'm sure I'm not the only one that's had to nurse a parent through this terrible demise. Albeit a few years ago now, but it's a pile of crap and by far the worst thing I've ever had to deal with.
Windass managed to get three red cards in one match whilst playing in Scotland!!!! One for a second yellow, another for calling the ref a Scottish c@#t when he sent him off and a third for smashing the corner flag on his way to the dressing room, and we though Big Roy was bad!!!!

................oh, sod it, let's go for it!
I'm wetting myself with laughter. Even more so now I've looked at the teams Wolves have got in the run in.

Some of the stories I hear from former business associates about loyal supporters having boxes for 20+ years at PissPoorman Road, only to be royally shafted in the extreme when then got promoted, some of them I'm told couldn't afford the ridiculous increases so they asked for ordinary season tickets instead of their box, only to be told sorry they're all sold out.

Equality Act 2010: The Act makes it unlawful to discriminate against someone on the grounds of any of these characteristics: age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage or civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion/belief, sex (gender), and sexual orientation.
(Unless you're a tax paying, beer drinking, able-bodied male).
We want the same......... ......when it suits us. As far as I'm aware the Act doesn't allow you to start making things up because men and women act differently. That is the whole point of the Act!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nikki Doucet said "I think our fan base and the behaviour is different (to the men's game)”.
You’re right there, with just your fans, women’s football would hardly exist. ‘Fans’ of the men’s game have paid for the development, facilities etc. of your game, so I wouldn’t get too trappy and start driving wedges between the two if I was you.

I would be happy to see the Binners survive another year in the Premiershite if it meant ManUre could be relegated.
Oi, Jimmy, I hear Rooney is a free agent if you are looking to sack Amorim before he breaks any more records.

According to CUSA there are 28 U’s fans on the coach making its way to Barrow (and no doubt several others making the epic journey from Essex under their own steam), just to spend a couple of hours in a drab windswept stadium, in poor weather, just to watch their heroes.
Every one of them should have an honorary place in the Col U Hall of Fame.

Don't think the Coventry Fans are too happy with losing the bloke that took them from shite to the edge of the prem. Don't know if the following link works, but the Owner and Chairman says it all (you need to click on the extract of the wiki page).
Someone has 'edited' the page (since been changed a few times to express their feelings)

...doing the rounds on tvvatter?
Where's my pitchfork! The great unwashed are revolting.
Turns out, Leslie offered him good money for the U's because of its potential and if he's to be believed, RC wouldn't sell because he thinks he built Col U, it's his baby (let's be honest anything he's sired is a good advert for contraception).
Looks like we are in for an interesting time in the coming months.

….can Kieran McKenna get the Man Ure job. Apparently, he’s been a coach there before?
Binners old boy Tony Humes would be the perfect replacement at Poorman Road.

Let's be perfectly clear, football at 12:30 is wrong and always will be.
I've just seen that the Salford supporters coach is leaving at 5:15am (i'm not sure if they are peddling the ###ing thing), but that is a ridiculous time to have to catch a coach for what isn't a particularly long journey. They deserve a medal, and the TV companies should be made to supply them with a voucher for beer and pies.
Just imagine a young supporter, working all week then out clubbing on a Friday night. By the time you've had a Doner (or a Donna if you're lucky - or both if she's a bit rough), there's no point heading for your pit, you might as well go straight to the coach, complete with chilli sauce down the front of your shirt.

Just looking on the Chesterfield ticketing website, by my reckoning there are 155 tickets already sold in the away end! Looking forward to it.
Will our defence be terrified, or will they extinguish Will Griggs. Either way, he will still be the subject of probably the best football chant ever.
Never mind the result we just need true grit and a never give up attitude. Injuries will not last forever and anything from tonight will be a bonus.

Carlisle have sacked Paul Simpson (and his entire backroom team) the day after the transfer window closes and after only four games, because they've only got 3 points, despite two games being away to Gillingham and MK Dongs. They were unlucky against the Trannies after dominating possession!
If you’re going to be that demanding, why not sack him at the end of last season? A new manager has got to wait until January to change things! Bunch of idiots.

Thread | It’s a tough one tonight
at 09:48 14 Jun 2024
If there’s ever a game where I’d want to see both sides lose, it would be tonight.
It would be funny if the perennially useless Jocks could pee on Germany’s bonfire, but we’d never hear the end of it. Videos of the skirt wearing ‘Girl Guide Army’ staggering around Munich singing about Maradona knocking England out, just about sums them up. The only thing they’ve got to sing about is an Argentinian knocking England out 40 years ago. Talk about living rent free in their heads.
It reminds me of years ago when the Scots had actually qualified for a world cup. I was driving home from work and Billy Bremner was a summarizer on the radio, when they were playing Brazil. In fairness, they got off to a great start and I think hit the crossbar in the opening minutes, only for Bremner to shout ‘Oh F##k’. After a short ‘tumbleweed’ moment the most professional of commentators carried on as if nothing had happened.
I see the German police are reportedly going to fine any English fans singing ‘Ten Bombers’. Great idea Fritz, what could possibly go wrong with needlessly winding up pissed English hooligans?
The joys of being English hey, we cannot sing a jovial piss take about defeating the murderous Nazis, but every nation on the planet is free to give us endless shit about the actions of our forefathers, be it colonialism, slavery, famine etc. etc. etc.
If you come up with the idea of creating mass extermination camps, then have to listen to a bit of ‘banter’ every two years, I would say you’re getting off quite lightly, compared to the crap the English have to take on just about everything. Can you imagine us issuing fines to the Irish every time they sung folksongs about the famine, it’s ridiculous.
As for the reported 500 Serbian hooligans looking for trouble, it would be appreciated if they could restrict their fisticuffs to any English ‘fans’ throwing bottles or the ticketless scum trying to fight their way into the ground.
Has anyone seen the Netflix documentary about the 2020 Euros final at Wembley? It’s a miracle no one was killed and sadly a blessing that England lost (and also that it started to rain), otherwise it could have been our darkest hour.
Every country has its idiots, but at least the French riot about the price of fuel. I don’t think irony comes any better than the ‘Gilets Jaunes’ petrol bombing government buildings, to protest about the price of petrol!!!
