Boro’s Saudi Banner


We have had some good banners over the years. Red Faction take the lead now. Had a great one in support of Chris Kamara about a month ago which was quite emotional as he was introduced on the pitch as well that day.
Never really been that bothered how they do but our 30 yr to 55yr old supporters always seem to despise them and with their new owners coming in the younger ones and my age group are joining them in taking great pleasure at recent results too.

I don’t think they are comparable.
Alex Neil leaving Sunderland v Barbaric, murdering state Owners of football club. Using said club to spend their blood money and sport to improve their image.

Hmmm🤔

It was just an example mate, I know they aren’t the same thing at all.

Surprised we’ve not done something to be honest.

I would just go for a massive Amnesty International logo. No text required.

I’m willing to wager that at least 50% of our crowd won’t ever have heard of Amnesty International and definitely wouldn’t recognise their logo, same would apply to the wider population.

Like none of us want or are willing to be investigated by the police for a banner. If we’d done it today then got beat 5-1 you can imagine how it would’ve went down.

Unless you wait until full time and do it in an empty stadium, how can you possibly know if it's going to be a game like today? The message for the Saudis has nowt to do with the result on the day really and Boro clearly weren't arsed about any potential result.

Only SAFC and Boro (for some reason) are bothered. No one else really.

Don't be silly. Palaces flag at the beginning of the season proved that
The recent stuff about LIV golf and F1 shows that most decent humans are dumbfounded about sportspeople wanting Saudi involvement.

'In a generality, is there any way you wouldn't play on a moral basis, if the money was right, is a way you wouldn't play?"

That could deffo be asked of football and nufc fans.

“Do you condemn Amnesty International?” would be another good question.

Imagine if:

Every football fan refused to talk to Newcastle fans about football.

Every non-Newcastle fan turned their telly off when Newcastle were on.

Every non-Newcastle fan refused to travel to St James Park to watch their club play there.

Every non-Newcastle fan refused to attend a home game if Newcastle were the away opposition.

Imagine. It's possible.

It’s not. Nee one gives a fuck.

You must have missed the Liverpool supporters wishing Man Utd the best and hoping that they beat the Saudis in the cup final.

Same Liverpool would welcome the same owners. Few would chirp away but they’d welcome the money

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.
