  1. Read...rarely post....but that is very good news, man. Watch yourself in Rehills, though....incredible selection of (pricey) beers but narrow as fuck....went in a few weeks ago where everyone queued patiently at the correct distance but, as I was looking at the cans fridge, some fella came and squatted down on his honkers right next to me and began to browse Haven't been back since.
  2. ♬ We didn't start the fire .... That's very good Although now I've got that bastard song in me head all night!

    I'm either reading it wrong or he is in no way pretending? It's a Newcastle United "fan" painting the takeover in the gloomiest light possible and lauding Ashley as a good owner. Even says NUFC were a "proper club" under Ashley. It's either a Mackem pretending to be NUFC fan. Or a NUFC fan, pretending to be a Mackem, pretending to be NUFC fan. That's what it's like on there. This lad posted on our forum (Footymad-yep, we're still going ) under various guises for years and this was always his line about Ashley. He's from Hartlepool but I think he actually is a Toon fan. He's banned now and hasn't come back with a new name (yet) so we don't have to read that sort of frontier gibberish.
  4. Nope. Funnily enough, I was talking to a bloke who works at our place who said 'if we get a few wins in a row ( as if! ) would I be back. He's missed the point, tbh. Most of us have seen enough shite and still gone back for this to be nothing about the quality of the football or about the quality of the players. Let's be honest, if cancelling was about that we'd be, well, sunderland, wouldn't we.
  5. I just said I'd had a season ticket for years but wouldn't be back until fatso (didn't use that word had gone.
  6. I was leaving it as late as possible in case the takeover actually happened but I think it was actually the Allardyce thing that finally pushed me over the edge I'd been teetering on for a long time. As it became clear that they were pursuing a 3rd rate, second division, first-class chump, meaning there was no takeover, the decision became a firm one.
  7. I cancelled mine last night and emailed the club to say why (well...filled in the contact form where they say they'll get back to you...zzzz)' Had our tickets since the Ardilles/Keegan season (just after we'd all left Uni and got jobs) but had been going since being kids....been with the same lads ever since so end of an era. Currently I just feel f***ing gutted, tbh.
  8. It isn't the last year though, everyone got a 3 year extension on the original 10 years. What, what, what??? How the f*** did I miss that??
  9. Right then. Bit of advice needed, folks. We're not sure on Footymad so I've popped over here to see if you can help. I'm entering the last year of the 10 year deal and want to cancel (I know, I know...been part of the problem, club you deserve, etc...but I'm on board now). So...where do I stand as far as cancelling my direct debit goes? I'm not going again until that fat slug f***s off and Ii know that i'll have to write off anything I've already paid but I'd like to contact the club with at least a bit of credible info in case they pull the legal angle. If I cancel my direct debit, are they entitled to take the rest of the money 'owed'?
  10. Sorry, man...took it from the Swiss Ramble and, frankly, it makes my head hurt. This is the link, though:
  11. Greetings from footymad Only up to the season before last but commercial income will probably show a growth of about 3p in fatso's time here.
  12. Unfortunately, this. We didn't deserve to go in losing at the break...but neither did we deserve to equalise in the second half. At half time it was like that scene in Airplane where everyone yer man talks to is topping themselves. I was quite optimistic that we'd get something from the game based on what I'd seen in the first half. Silly me...
  13. First tackle wasn’t a yellow (if it was then the majority of the Everton team should have been sent off for their challenges). I don’t think his 2nd foul was much of a foul or even a yellow card. The thing is though we can’t be having a go at players trying their best to win the ball back deep into stoppage time when we are losing. From where we are (Strawberry Corner) it looked like he had got the ball for the first but, whether he had or not, the fact that he was on a yellow made the second challenge moronic. A cynic might suggest he didn't much fancy the next two games...
  14. Yup They always become 'hit n run' posts too, so the ITK poster will disappear for a number of hours/days and it'll become forgotten about 'Not a bullshitter' always features somewhere. Ah right, that's okay then. That's a fair point. Having read his posts for years, it's how I see him but I get your point. Here's his original post (just to show I'm not trying to be ITK...just wanting it to be true, really. ) http://boards.footymad.net/showthread.php?t=38208476
  15. I think that should be my line. Mind, the bugger's logged off so there's nowt else to go on!
