NUFC Sportswashing 2022

It is faux outrage. 90% of the posters in here have never once mentioned the atrocities in Saudi Arabia before our takeover. They use it as a means to berate all Newcastle fans now because it's easy - they don't actually care though about the human rights issues or they would organise a palace/Boro like display.
Or quote lyrics from a Jimmy Nail song? Get fucked, you don't need to write words on a bed sheet to have the moral compass to know that the Saudis, who own your club, are the worst example of what evil humankind can do to its fellow man since some Austrian lad got the hump in the 1930's
 
Did Craig Hope REALLY tweet that? What a twat :lol:
Yes.
Much as he’s an unprofessional Mag/Saudi sucking journalist he had a point. SAFC appointed their ex mascot as MD and not that long afterwards he disappeared back to Oxfordshire (apparently lives near Methven) without any sort of explanation and not one local media person has asked what the reason was for his bizarre departure. Another unanswered question from the weird reign of SD and CM.
 
Firstly, I never protested Ashley. I didn't like the way he ran the club but I didn't actively protest it. The same as I've never waved a tea towel around.

I support Newcastle, correct.

And the outrage is Faux - clubs with less of an interest in what we do have protested and made statements. Loads of hot air but fuck all from Sunderland. Simpletons will make statements to say we all rape women and kill gays etc as a stick to beat Newcastle fans with but deep down, you don't really care and it is obvious. You didn't care before they bought us and you don't care enough to do anything now.

The palace banner got people talking - it was effective and it made a clear statement from their fans. You have flag displays, do something.

How about YOU DO SOMETHING….it’s your club. The fact your LGBTQ+ group can’t even condemn Saudi homophobia should embarrass you but your support clearly have zero shame.

Any statement SAFC fans make would be met with claims we are bitter and sad so I will suffice with telling you to stop acting like a ****.
 
80% of the mags won’t even know about the Saudi regime and what they are responsible for. You can almost excuse them.

It’s the other 20% - who know what their ownership is and still try the mental gymnastics to skirt around it. Those who’ll say “well I’m obviously all for human rights, but..,.”, or “well you can’t control who owns your club can you?”. Those are the truly mediocre human beings.

Top notch sportswashing in action. Sky reporter talking about “first big signing of the Saudi-backed regime”. As if that’s the real story here. Meanwhile, the money still flows into the ISIS coffers, Jamal Khashoggi’s family still can’t bury their murdered and dismembered loved one, and the dead children of the Yemen are still that - dead children.

But hey, who cares when you want your eleven strangers to kick a bag of wind around a field better than another town’s eleven strangers? Absolutely vile.
👏

Money money money

Nobody at sky agrees with Saudi murderers and their brutal torture of gays , women or anyone voicing free speech. So it's even more despicable.

Who the fuck are you to say I don't really care. What the KSA allow and continue to do is abhorrent and anyone who aligns themselves with them is complicit in their actions.
Oh and using the word "faux" only makes you look more of a twat.
 
It's the "we can't do anything about our owners, I'll just crack on with the footy" that makes me laugh mate.

They were proper upset over Ashleys staff contracts, but "Just focusing on the footy" is all they do now.
It’s utter spineless lying bullshit mate. They’re over the moon with the Saudis. Love them to bits. They could protest the same way they did against Ashley. But the truth is they don’t give a f**k how many people their owners kill or how they kill them as long as the money is being spent. That’s why if they aren’t too busy sucking the Saudis dicks they’re licking the soles of their sandals.
Theres over fifty thousand in that decrepid shit tip of a stadium and the only dissent I’ve heard or seen has come from the away fans. For the rest it’s camels, Saudi flags and tea towels.
