Boro’s Saudi Banner

Good one.


Still pissed Jeff?

No just a bit sad people go to all that effort for nothing.

Its an utterly pointless gesture that will achieve absolutely nothing.

Their time would have been better spent helping their local community rather than attention seeking at the match.

I am agog with apathy.

We could do a banner. To get a printed flag would cost a fortune and I think there’s more important things to spend money on atm.

A banner would be better anyway. You can read them more clearly.

I really don't think the club would allow one in though, they seem to be really awkward with stuff like this 🤷‍♀️ .

For about 6 months under Keegan maybe, I haven't met anyone for ages who thinks they are anything but contemptible arseholes

As an outsider, I saw them as entitled arseholes, even under Keegan. There has never been anything to like about them.

It feels to me, as though they expect respect, for having a lot of fans. They get none from me: come back, when you're 35 miles from Manchester, 20-something from Leeds, and 12 from Hillsborough. Of course, Newcastle are going to have a large support.

Never liked them. Like Everton, Wednesday, Leeds, and Villa, they think that because they were good 30 years ago (at least), they are special. Nope. None of them ever win a cracker, but they pat themselves on the back, essentially for the fact they support a club from a city, with a lot of people living in it.

I believe that Leeds, Villa, Wednesday, or Everton, would have happily taken the Saudi blood money. But, Newcastle were the obvious choice. More fans than those other clubs, a longer period with no trophies, and - I think - a desperation to be liked. I don't like them, and I hope they fail. Any cups they win, are filled with the blood of dissidents, and the bones of gays.

Plus, the only two Mags I ever met, are a pair of arseholes. One is a 30-stone, walking heart attack, who nevertheless claimed to have played cricket for Yorkshire. Oh? You did? Presumably, I can find your stats online, then? Ummmm...

The other, recently changed his Outlook profile photo, to a Mags badge. Never known him to even go to games, but he was at Wembley. I am half-thinking of complaining that it isn't professional, and seeing if I can get it changed.

It wasn't long ago (under Bruce iirc) that they were literally giving away free half season tickets in a desperate attempt to fill empty seats, they are as fickle if not more so than most clubs

Has anyone mentioned that Boro banner looks pathetic.

Its just smacks of jealousy because the Mags are a bigger club with more money and are going to win things.

Boro‘s glory days are now firmly behind them. No more Ravanelli, no more Emerson,
just mediocrity.

Smacks of jealousy?! Sound like a mag man. They do right having a dig at a club owned by a murderous state. Maybe, unlike the mags, they have principles.

And what do you want with the banner? Unlike wor flags they just be self funded and put together themselves for this one game. Gets the message across fine.

I liked it, as do many.
And the morally defunct mags will be triggered by it. Probably spouting shite like you buy their oil and they've invested in a plant in teeside so folk work for them so how dare people be upset at Saudi human rights attrocities
