I was at the game where Robson was abused, away at Rotherham and he wasn't there. It was on MOTD and we were singing "Robson is a wanker" because he dropped KK. Bit different from spitting at him. I was also at the game v Wolves when only a couple of thousand stayed in the ground for a lap of honour. Again, a bit different from being spat at.

He wasn't hounded out, Shepherd sacked him. I was disappointed, some were pleased.

It was at Sid James where he was jostled and spat on.

Just before being sacked, many fans were saying he should be sacked, the more considerate ones were saying he should be moved upstairs as he’d lost the plot, despite guiding the team to a 5th place finish. I was working through there at the time and the majority were happy to see him sacked, I can’t think of anyone who was against the sacking. He was quite hurt at the way he was treated by the club and fans and was never made welcome there again. He even stated he was made more welcome at Sunderland games than Newcastle‘s in his final years.

No other set of fans like to rewrite history like Newcastle’s. How your lot had the nerve to build a statue and now talk about naming a training ground after him is quite astounding, even by your standards.

Craig Bellamy remembered it differently in his book.

I was of the opinion he should have moved upstairs. He looked tired towards the end and didn't have the conference of the players. Bellamy, Dyer and Shearer all had issues with him. The two people who deserve to be honoured with statues are KK and Joe Harvey.

Bellamy says the opposite in his book, which I genuinely would recommend. Completely changed my perspective on him.

Why Keegan out of interest? He didn't win you anything, statues are usually erected following some kind of success? Shearer is an obvious one, didn't win a trophy but he broke records which are unlikely to be beaten

Also for club legends. Which he undoubtedly is at Newcastle. Like him or loathe him he's gave a lot of them their best days following Newcastle

However he is a bum chinned wanker.

KK changed everything at Newcastle. Didn't win anything, but I loved him. Loved his attitude, loved the way his teams played, and i loved the way he wore his heart on his sleeve.

It's without any doubt the most cringe worthy video they've ever done. I didn't think it was possible to out cringe 'ooh we're Geordies' but they've surpassed it with ease !

Nah, the level of planning and production that went into "oh we're geordies" is what made it so tragic. This is just someone filming the cruddas park bowls team getting pissed up and acting themselves in benidorm.

Thank God we saw that clown Kennedy off double quick, imagine having to look at that gormless grinning bowling ball of a head on the byline of every Sunderland match report FFS.

Blocked so I can't reply. Anyone able to ask "Any truth that we have been asked by Perez to join the European Super League so it doesn't matter if NUFC are relegated?".

Didn't they sack Robson because he had a stand-off with Kieron Dyer about where he was playing? And the board took Dyer's side?
Seems like they should have built a statue to Dyer outside instead. Be more historically accurate :lol:

Apparently Dyer took the hump after being not named in an England squad and blamed Robson playing him out of position?

The fact that Robson was on a rolling 1 year contract undermined him in the players eyes, as they knew he was going to be replaced sooner or later.

But dredging a memory of that time?
Wasn't there a rumour that the first thing Souness did after walking on the training field for the first time as manager was deck Bellamy and have a go at him for helping get Robson sacked?

The great history rewriters. But let us name the training ground after him.

They are mind. And if they have nothing to use against us or anyone else for that matter, they simply make things up.
