A slow news day?

Just a quickie to let you know my thoughts on the current furore over the Newcastle fans chanting 'He's got a bomb' and 'Mido is a paedo' on Sunday. The papers mainly appear to have taken the most politically correct stance they can find accusing us of racism and one in particular (louise Taylor in the Guardian - the same Louise Taylor who writes for the official Sunderland publication and is a self confessed Mackem shitbag) has accused us of islamophobia-is that even a proper word?


Well firstly, even though this is all a load of media created nonsense and I shouldn't waste my time even responding to it, the Boro fans were chanting the same sort of thing at him a few months ago when he played for Spurs but the press weren't jumping up and down then, also, in the same game, Mark Viduka was called a 'Fat Aussie Bastard' repeatedly but the press have also neglected to mention this - does racism only count if you're not white?


And to my main point, while this was happening and the assembled hacks were working themselves into a frenzy of self righteousness about the ignorant geordie hordes a young man was being kicked to death in Sunderland, an 11 year old boy had been shot dead in Liverpool and there were, too numerous to go into detail about, fatal stabbings up and down the country. All of these deaths were brought about by youths, mainly in gangs, and are a serious issue for the future of this country.


Do our self appointed moral guardians in the national press feel that this isn't worth shouting about or, as I suspect is the case, do they realise that no-one believes anything they write any more so they simply follow the angle that they can sensationalise the most, thus selling more 'news'papers?

Answers on a postcard to... any tabloid or broadsheet you want, they won't read it.

Well played that man...

I've always thought cricket was a shite game for boring people, I also think the majority of my readers would probably agree with that but...I've started changing my mind.

I spent yesterday drinking lager in the sunshine and conversing with people at my in laws local village sports club. I generally talked nonsense about a number of subjects and had a good time, this was punctuated only occasionally when there was a shout from the pitch and everyone clapped (I joined in obviously). I went to the pitch at half two and got home to bed about midnight.

Cricket- I love it me like.

Oh and I still haven't got a clue who won!

Derby Days? Not really.

So, we have the pleasure of visiting ICI town on Sunday (best known as the backdrop for Bladerunner – nice) and doubtless the locals will be waiting to welcome us as only they can. Football wise ‘the burra’ have come a long way since I was a lad; I remember them locking their gates in the eighties and virtually going under. Their chairman, Steve Gibson, has performed wonders in making them a top division, mid table team, and deserves praise for that – Shepherd should feel ashamed every time his name is mentioned.

Having spent a lot of time on message boards over the last few years I’ve noticed that a lot of their fans seem to think they mean something to us and that if we beat them we’re especially chuffed. The media pundits go down this road as well and always refer to these games as a North East derby, it’s not. I don’t really understand why they think this, it’s probably a marketing thing for Sky and the premier league in order to sell more telly packages and I suppose as the mackems are up and down more often than Jodie Marsh’s knickers they think we need a more stable ‘local’ rival.

Whatever their reasoning, they’re wrong, Middlesbrough – v- Newcastle will never be a derby match. To me, beating Boro is the same as beating Leeds or Hull or one of the Sheffield teams, it’s three points and I’ll be home in time to make a night of it down the quayside, or even the ‘diamond strip’ (I’m getting old now) and that’s it. As far as they’re concerned though, they’re so desperate for a rival that isn’t Hartlepool or Darlo that when they beat us, you never hear the end of it. Still if it makes them happy eh.

So for the record, when we play Middlesbrough It’s not a derby and the three points apart, unless it’s a cup final (doubtful like) it’s not even that important. Got that? Good, now let’s tan their backsides.

Howay the lads.

This country's fucked!

Apologies if you've heard this from me before and also if the 'gritty' language in my rant offends you but I really cannot cope with the spineless, cowardly, faceless bureaucrats and judiciary that run this once great country any more.

Exhibit A:- The killer of headmaster Philip Lawrence is going to be allowed to stay in this country once he has served his 'LIFE' sentence as to deport him would 'infringe his human rights'.


Exhibit B:- Asylum seekers, who are being held in detention centres while their cases are dealt with, riot for softer cushions and nicer biscuits and are allowed to wreck the place at a cost of millions to the UK taxpayer while the police stand idly by for fear of being labelled racist. This, mark you, while they are 'fleeing persecution and certain death' in their own countries.


Exhibit C:- A former premiership footballer is being released from prison after killing someone in a drink drive incident and then running away. He has served a grand total of three years and on his release has a contract lined up with a football league club. Nice.


I watched a film the other night entitled 'Outlaw' about a vigilante who decides to make a stand and, frankly, I agreed with every word he said, particularly the bit about 'That cunt Blair has raped this country.' Lest we forget it was Mr Blair and his cohorts (one of whom now 'runs' the country) that introduced the human rights act to Great Britain (now known only as Britain - soon to be known as Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland2) and unleashed this shower of misery upon us. The judiciary and politicians must live in little ivory towers away from the council estates and the gangs. They obviously don't believe in the existence of violent criminals or feral youths, thinking they are the invention of a whinging electorate.

The ordinary man and woman in the street, the people who pay taxes and actually work for a living, fear (quite rightly) that they've been abandoned by those in authority in favour of those with money and asylum seekers who will vote the right way. The rhetoric and jingoism of parties like the BNP is starting to make more sense to those people - this is how Hitler got started. Gordon, Dave, Falconer and the rest of the overprivileged bags of shite that live within their protective police cordons need to come down to our level and smell the alchopops while they've still got the chance.

I'm pissed off - Rant over

Do you remember the first time?

The heart beats a little faster with each step, the excitement rises in your chest and threatens to make itself known through your teeth if you open your mouth too wide and you feel so alive with anticipation that you're actually scared. The first thing that hits you as you mount the steps is the colour, a brilliant green comprised of a million freshly mined emeralds, then the noise, excited chatter from grown men who have regressed back to childhood, faces wreathed in stupid grins. Then...as you're taking all of this in you become aware of a noise that sounds like a voice but isn't, somehow detatched from the whole affair but intrinsic to it at the same time.

'And here's a request from Parrot Face from some Shakey - This ole house'

First home match of the season tomorrow, I'm travelling up for it and bringing my nephew for his second ever visit to the Peoples Republic of Tyneside - I cannit wait... mind you it's not just the game, we're going to Burger King as well - WooHoo!!

Have a good one Folks.

Tell Ya Friends!!!!!!!!

Going to hell in a handcart...

The other night I was watching telly when my wife informed me that two young scrotes were trying to make babies on my front porch. Obviously I was up in a flash with the intention of getting a good look at her...I mean moving them on and did so in a manner befitting a fifteen stone skinhead from Byker:-

'What the fuck are you playing at?'

Small youth looks at me like I'm daft and then tilts his head in a confused expression before saying 'What?'

'Fuck off from my step'

Small youth looks quizzically at me for a couple of seconds before slowly moving off, his girlfriend emerges from next doors porch with all of her clothes intact (gutted!) and they slouch off.

Here's my question, if I'd given him a slap, and bearing in mind that law abiding citizens are being killed up and down the country for daring to speak out at yobs, would I have been charged with anything by what laughably passes for the law in this country?

And with the answer being yes, I'd have been carted off to the nick quicker than you can say this country's fucked, then that leads onto my next question?

If the lad had just said fuck off and proceeded to continue 'pleasuring ((c) The Sun)' his teenage girlfriend how could I have stopped him?

Answers on a postcard to Messrs Brown and Cameron please but don't expect an answer.


Ps - I'd have probably given him a round of applause...but you can't clap with one hand...Ho hum.
