How do you need that explaining? Comparing the geordies to U****d? Sunderland are not even in the same area. 20 miles south.
Geordies are 99% top fans with a few dicks like us.
Comparing them to the rags is fucking stupid ....... so DICK.
OK?
Eh
LOL made me laugh - i know what i mean
i recall a firework going off from the city end towards the west brom end last season.
(balotelli 2-0, red card.)
i also recall a firework going off at united fans outside after the league cup semi a couple of years ago.
just saying like... ;)

I am a Newcastle fan.
I'm not going to even try to defend the idiotic behaviour from the minority of our away fans today but I do feel like I need to defend my club here.
There is a new uprising of uneducated pricks that only serve to tarnish the already shaky reputation the club I love has. And I know it's shaky, so do thousands of our fans.
You have to understand guys that the 'fans' that involve themselves in childish (and it is childish) behaviour like today are well within the minority. It pains me that they are essentially the outspoken and most vocal ones; most fans of our club are good-mannered and good-natured. However the minority are the ones that seem to get the platform on which we get judged as a whole.
The whole 'deluded' tag that is constantly placed on us frustrates me to an extent; I think we are wrongly perceived as having ridiculous expectations when I believe we don't. If you ask most Geordies where they think we will finish (even with this frankly unbelievable start for us) they would say around 8th-12th. At the start of the season the prediction was even lower. Since being relegated in 2009 the only thing Newcastle fans really want is Premier League football, and the fact we're anywhere near the top 4 is the stuff of dreams. We know we won't stay there. It wasn't too long ago that we were playing Champions League football but I think 99% of fans don't think we'll be playing in that competition in the foreseeable future (we're talking decades here). But is it so wrong to dream? Doesn't that encapsulate the faith of a football fan?
For the record I've always had a good relationship with City fans, I have a few friends from the club in the workplace. I love your fanbase's humorous side, the Europa League match with Salzburg springs to mind, I was in stitches over the Alan love-in, absolute class. I've never laughed so much watching a football game, the Mancini song is fantastic and the 'Poznan' looks great on the telly!
I guess the point of this post is to dissolve any tension between the two sets of fans, surely you agree that every club has their complete cocks and that is human nature rather than the mentality of a city or a football club. I've encountered a few City fans who are a bit naughty and others that think they're Billy Big Boots (not remembering your club's history) but that won't change my positive opinion of your fans.
Good luck for the rest of the season and I hope you win the title, would love to see the look on SAF's face. Don't hate on us too much, on the whole as a set of fans we're very similar to you, we love our club and are absolutely loving the relative success we're enjoying at the moment.
Good post.
Welcome to the board.
I've not had time to read the whole thread so apologies if I'm replicating what's already been said.
The firework went off near where I'm sat and, well, it's unforgiveable. A proper indiscriminate, cowardly action: could've hit anyone. However, you can't generalise the Newcastle fans on the actions of one dickhead in their end.
Anyway, was a shithouse thing to do and it was unsurprising that the City fans kicked off. I saw the guy who'd picked up the firework (to try and get rid of it) and it went off in his hand, and he was bleeding but thankfully it didn't look too serious.
Saw a few parents with young kids who had been shit up by it leave, and a few who had been hit by coins (which to be fair were thrown by both sets of fans) wander off nursing their wounds.
Shame it came to this. Won't vilify all Geordies for it, but it was a shithouse thing to do.

Must say when the firework went off, sound like a piece of the stadium collapsed on the tele ffs. Then I saw the Geordies giving it the big un and put two and two together.

A real man would have thrown himself on it and taken the blast for the lads and lasses around him.
I appreciate that it may be one of those things you do without thinking but I'd like to think I'd have stamped on it rather than picked it up.
Hope the lads ok.
Someone said he was moving it away from kids in the vicinity.blumoonrisen said:Ric said:I saw the guy who'd picked up the firework (to try and get rid of it) and it went off in his hand
