Hatred or just friendly banter against the Mags?

[Parkmaverick]

quality post!

try and imagine if the roles had been reversed the last 20 years. everything you say about us, arrogance etc there is no doubt in my mind that we would be saying the exact same things about you. admittedly we got lucky with the whole keegan era, getting into the PL & sky promoting the Geordie nation crap. However the resurgence of the team coupled with the resurgence of the city gave the whole city a lift and a feel good factor which imo made you lot slightly jealous/envious hence the hatred. Both sets of fans have their utter tools,
i will even concede that we appear to have more, again though this is perpetuated by the media imo who have their own agenda.
All in all as quoted above, i know who i would want standing next to me when the time came. ........anyone from the north east!

I am quite sure that if the shoe had been on the other foot there would have been a Sky agenda to knock the NE its the same but in reverese of the Liverpool/Manchester wankfests and Cockney boy mafia. The difference however between us and you is in the make up of the fan base. Whilst Nucassle sees itself as the capital of the Geordie nation you have to be specifically a Tynesider and a Nucassle supporter to be part of that. The support Sunderland generates encompasses a lot more that a sterio typical Mackem, I am quite comfortable having a beer with the Townies and have over the years become good friends with many to the point where I was devasted by Podgys death. Compare that to the Durham Mags who are frequently subject to abuse and have occasionally been beaten up by True blooded Geordies because of their Durham accent. We can look at ourselves and see ourselves as a long way from being perfect the average Mage sees himself as being part of the Alpha tribe in not only the NE but the whole country.

Somebody asked about chants for Sunday, so I had a go. To 99 Red Balloons:

Let's all laugh at the Sports Direct
Should've shot the architect
Held a funeral for the sign
Fifty thousand geordie* bastards cry

Lalalalalalalala...

Or simpler, to the Band Aid tune:

Paint your breeze blocks
Let them know you love your sign and...

*could change it to maggie bastards, I know geordie Sunderland fans are a bit sensitive. Anyway, it's not saying ALL geordies are bastards, just THEM geordie bastards

With an identity as a national laughing stock, aye. Every third-rate comedian has the thick, sentimental "jawdee" character getting worked up over nothing as a fall-back for a cheap laugh. Your "identity" is on a par with the boring Brummie and the thieving Scouser- fat, pastie-munching mags hanging around that big grey eyesore like flies around shit, spouting incomprehensible twaddle about "wor beloved toon". That's your identity to most people. You must be so proud.

What actually hurts us is that our accents are the same as yours to people outside the area and we get lumped in with you. It hurts to be associated in any way with the kind of people who hold mock funerals for the name of a football ground, who proclaim themselves a "nation" like the Catalan people and can't see how ridiculous that is, people who think they're living in some cultural oasis because woah, there's a big shopping centre over the water and a gallery with nowt of any worth in it... and fuck me if there's not a regional airport close by, there's a thing.

More than anything else, Newcastle United and its supporters have held back the North East as a region by sullying its image for outsiders. A region of hard-working, down to earth people who can laugh at themselves has been hijacked over the last 20 years by sanctimonious, humourless, pretentious bores droning on and on about their f***ing heritage and their "geordie pride". In your determination to prove that you're the bestest, loyalest, cushtiest fans in all the world, you just give the world the impression that you have got absolutely nothing in your lives, that the only thing that can light up the darkness of your Cruddas Park grief-holes is the chance to weeble about the place dressed like giant mint humbugs grunting, "toon toon black and white army" even though you're on the bus and it's Thursday morning. We hate you because you embarrass us and you embarrass the whole region. Now fuck off.

best post ive ever read on here, it should be a sticky

Outstanding post

HATE seems such a daft word to use, I mean has a mag done anything to hurt your family, nicked your car, set fire to your house, swindled you out of your life savings etc ?? Probably not.

However, having been chased by 16 twa*s who alighted a mini bus back in 78 {Withe/Greenwood game} and almost kicked to f$$k, I had a rabid dislike of them for many years, and then in your work life you meet lads who are mag fans and most are good lads and then you think 'do I really hate them?'

I'm at the stage now {50} where I can't bring myself to hate them - I can't stand ignorance and arrogance of anyone - mag, mackem, cockney, scouser etc, and when I hear mags on the radio spouting bollocks, instead of feeling hate, I just feel pity.

Mind if they get a late winner on Sunday via a dodgy penna that might change !

If?

 

[blesner]

Just how far do your feelings go against the Great unwashed?

Some of them are okay but fcking hate most of them... No SA supporters only lowly mag expats.

 

[dirty bristow]

99% of them that I know are just normal blokes, the other 1% cast a massive dark shadow on them though.
Bloke at work always at me with Mackem "______" insert abuse of choice everytime he sees me. Of course he doesn't go to the games and couldn't answer when I asked him to come up with something new

 

[McMackem]

I hate about 4 mags as individuals, and would probably hate them if they were anything else. But I do hate Mags as a group, its not just banter no matter how PC it might be to say so. I have banter rather than hate with EVERY other group of football fans- even the English

it was a well written post in all honesty, not that i agree with it though! Newcastle is renowned as a great city to visit, thousands of students opt to go to Newcastle university or poly & yes we did get into the top 10 best party cities in the universe too!

Newsflash - they're just the same as us. The difference is that they've had a teeny bit as success in the "Sky World". We'd be exactly the same if the results of the last 20 years were reversed between the clubs.

I actually don't think they're the same as us. I think us and them are more similar then us and say, Spurs, but I think we have very different supporters and are quite different cities if only 14 odd miles apart.

What about people from, say, Washington, or those from families that have moved around the North East? Some support the scum (like my brother) and some support the glorious SAFC (like me).....

Yes I had to work there a lot of Saturday mornings and the amount of vomit and piss about was unbelievable.
