Its not an assumption. I and millions of people watched it ffs.
It was tantamount to blacking up in an attempt to welcome Martin Luther King.
How can you not see that? You are an intelligent man ffs.

'Millions' of people?
Wearing a headscarf is not 'tantamount to blacking up to welcome Martin Luther King', don't be silly.

Did I find it embarrassing? Yes. Do I think those around them should have given them some shit? Yes.

Do I think it'll cause the new owners to scale back their plans to Sportswash with our club? No.

Not an ounce of shame. f***ing disgusting this lot. But we knew that before this. They've taken it up a million notches. I hope there are flags, vans and protests at every game until they can't stand the bad press any longer and the murdering bastards leave our country.

They’ve got thousands of helmets. We saw them on live tv yesterday, broadcast worldwide. How crash resistant they are remains to be seen. Well find out in due course. Previous evidence would suggest they aren’t very damage resistant.

I hate all the shit they come out with about how they've finally got their club back!

Truth of the matter is, their club has slipped even further away from then than it did under Ashley and the dozy gets can't see it.

Being serious for a minute, does that bother you at all? I mean, I get you want to see a winning side, so maybe not. Not sure how I'd feel about it myself but I think I'd find it a bit awkward if our owners basically thought we were shit on their shoes. They won't be won over, they'll never like the place (the image of Newcastle as a party town and centre for hen parties etc will no doubt disgust them), in terms of being custodians they obviously won't give a fuck about the history of the club and won't care about its future once they've done what they want with it. Again, I can understand fans being excited but I don't think I'd ever fawn over them bearing in mind they pretty much hate my existence. I'm not naive enough to think KLD loves us all or anything, but at least he's not completely conditioned to think of us as scum! To be an owner of a football club I think you should at least have to have a modicum of respect for the place, the people and the clubs history

I do wish you'd use spellcheck. At least there would be less gibberish.

How many viewers on Sky? Millions plural I would guess.

As for your final point mate.........I give up. Honestly, if that is what you believe then you and your clerb are a lost cause. And I will happily describe myself from here on in as "The silly one with morals and standards to uphold"

I tried.

Course it bothers me. But the North East of England has been at best patronised, at worst vilified by our own governments, so it's just further along a road already well travelled :lol:

I'd rather my club was owned solely by the Reuben Brothers (and they're hardly squeaky clean). But, as with Ashley, I've no real say in who owns the club I support. I was here before the Saudis, I'll be here after them. I'll never defend them and will look to educate myself on their crimes so that when they're criticised I can say 'you think that's bad, what about when they did X', a better version of the whataboutery I'm seeing way, WAY too much of.

That's all I can really do.

We live in a time when a white lass dresses up as an Native American at Hollowe'en is seen as racist, then dressing up as stereotypical Arab is racist.

Fair enough, wish more of your fans had that attitude tbh (and I'm well aware that we'd also have people fawning over them if they bought us, it's just a depressing indictment of modern football, and probably society at large). Considering the amount of (rightly) negative posts about the takeover at least you've handled yourself well on this thread. Hope it all goes to shit, but if it doesn't then I hope the decent mags like yourself enjoy the ride whilst continuing to remain critical of those in charge
