Think so. This latest incarnation takes too much interest in SAFC (all over our match today on other threads) to be any of the other mags on here who only exist to come on this thread and antagonise

I've enjoyed this thread as like I've said , not on Twitter and lunacy on there showcased here is entertaining.
What isn't entertaining , anytime I log on this thread some new mag spouting reasons they aren't sports washed. Surely something better to do than join rival teams messageboard

Wrong. For instance, they'd have trouble going about things as normal if they owned Bayern Munich.
They bought you lot for a reason.

None of those. We just never got going against Brighton who are pretty decent. Very grateful for an undeserved point.
neither is comparing yourself you man united because you'd been relegated less dan,. i'm just saying the number of times you are relegated is meaningless.

How can your conscience be squeaky clean if you’re just choosing to ignore their human rights violations? How have your fan base decided that Mike Ashley was a worse owner than the current ones? The simple and only answer is MONEY. You had a Labour MP advocating in Parliament the sale of your club, to a despot oil rich state in bed with Tory donors. The whole deal f***ing stinks of corruption. You’ve sold your clubs heritage for the promise of trophies which is no where near coming to fruition. I can’t wait to see your fanbase return to default Mag and start shouting at empty shops and writing on bedsheets again when you’re finishing mid-table every season.
I think it's clear from his glib postings on here that he doesn't know the difference between a clear conscience and an absent one.

Theres people in jail right this minute in Saudi. Absolutely desperate to see loved ones. Who knows what conditions they are having to live in. And people like you are deflecting attention away from the Saudis on behalf of them by being part of sportswashing. I wouldnt say thats a squeaky clean conscience really.

I don't ignore their human rights record for a start. Mike Ashley is clearly a worse owner when it comes to running a football club, we were headed in one direction under him and look what's happened since the takeover.
I'm talking about the culture of Saudi Arabia, not how the club is being run. You should have cottoned on to that from the thousands of years bit

I don't deflect from their human rights record. It's never been under more scrutiny than it is now
We're talking about their leader. Your owner. The one whose team you're happy to cheer on for his sportswashing needs so he can crack on with his mass murder, you sportswashing dullard.
No point .This fella condones his owners, actually saying his conscience is clear with their murdering, homophobia etc. Doesn't bother him one bit. Like I say, it's their kids I feel sorry for

NUFC and other Sportswashing Spring 2022
Casuals who in the picture look like your average mag tramps. Casuals dressed like 'Bjorn Borg'. Er golf jumpers aye, tennis gear? We equalise and not a peep. Aye, all very believable :rolleyes: They look like a group of skip rats :lol:www.readytogo.net
So we have now reached 6 months since the mags supporters trust announced that the money they'd taken from complete idiots to buy a share of the club was going to be given to charity.
There has been no announcement about what has happened to the £210k, and it appears more and more likely that the money has been stolen.
If they were normal people it would be impossible to understand how something like this could happen in full public view like this. I am no expert, but would guess that a fraud for a sizeable amount like that, combined with the nature of it (thieving from charity) might attract a jail sentence of 12 months, maybe more? Its connected to Newcastle United though, so all normal standards of ethics are out the window - anything goes.
These 2 tweets are the only public mention I can find where any leading members of the mags trust have said anything

The first claimed back in May that meetings with unnamed charities had been taking place, and announcements would follow soon. This second claim has proven to be false - no announcement was ever made.
The other one is from back in April, and also doesn't specify which charities have been contacted. It too is very misleading - speculating that it 'won't be long' before members are presented with a proper plan. Nearly 3 months later, and this hasn't happened.
Both trust representatives fill their timelines with piles of the self congratulatory horseshit that many mags specialise in, yet strangely, there is no boasting at all about all the hard work the pair have been doing to donate this money to charity - which seems a very uncharacteristic omission in both cases, if the rest of their timelines are anything to go by.
Surely this is at the point where they need to be challenged to name which charities are involved, and then these charities need to be contacted to see if they know anything about this money. If it turns out they've never heard anything about it, the police need to be contacted, and if the money still isn't accounted for, then I suppose decisions will probably need to be made as to which mags should be charged with what.
Its connected to Newcastle United though, so I expect everyone will just continue to look the other way.
Its now 7 months since the mag supporters trust announced that the £210k raised by idiots to buy a share of the club would be given to charity. The money has still not been given to charity and not a single announcement has been made. No one knows what has happened to it.
I have seen a couple of instances where their Trust board members have been asked for an update, and have simply ignored the request. Here's one example:

£210k is a serious amount of money. The absolute arrogance is unbelievable. The only reason this situation has been able to develop is because of the connection to Newcastle United - absolutely anything goes these days as far as the mags are concerned, no matter how depraved.
Amazingly, their fanzine had an event in Newcastle last week where 4 journos and at least 1 Trust member sat on a stage and, as far as I can tell, dribbled on about how brilliant Newcastle United were going to be to an audience of 200.
Alex Hurst, who is a trust board member was on the stage, and George Caulkin, who is supposed to be acting as a 'guardian' of the pledge money was sat just along from him. How the hell can they even show their faces in public, let alone charge money for the privilege of seeing them speak?(£15 per person! Didn't even have an ex footballer there either, it was just a load of shithead journalists!)
I'd invite anyone here to try losing £210k of charitable donations without providing any explanation, and then try and wring another £15 out of the same group of people who donated - see what reaction you get. But this is Newcastle United - they appear to believe normal rules of ethics and behaviour just don't apply to them anymore.
I was on the metro the other day, and was surprised to notice an advert for the 'true faith podcast'. In my limited involvement with fanzines, I've got the impression that there isn't much money floating around - they look like shoe string operations, more labours of love than businesses. I'm struggling to recall ever seeing a fanzine paying to take out advertising space before - maybe When Saturday Comes might have done so, many years ago? I think they tend to struggle for money a bit more these days, with so much free online content to compete with. But the mags fanzine is clearly getting some money from somewhere - credit to them for somehow bucking the trend!
Personally, can't see this getting resolved until the mags start losing some games and it dawns on them that this takeover isn't what they thought it was. At the moment they are like teenage joyriders, intoxicated by the idea that normal rules don't apply. It will end with tears and bedsheet protests, and it is only when they are brought back to earth that the missing charity money will get addressed.
To any normal person it is clearly a totally unacceptable situation, but I think it will be some time before the average mag recognises that, given the way they behave these days.
