Keith just got taught.
At least some journalists are calling out Downie's hideous comments. But then look at the replies to his tweet. Mags almost en masse jumping on anybody pointing out the reality of the head of the saudi state. Its genuinely mental what they've become.
If they had any idea of how utterly pathetic and stupid they sound they probably wouldn’t do it, but as they are farther gone than the moonies they’ll keep on going. Jim Jones would have loved this lot.The comments…
But what about this, what about that!!
We could oust the Saudis, march over there and establish a liberal, democractic regime, solve world peace, end poverty and our names would still be in the gutter for some of you lotHopefully it’s a vocal minority and you may start to drag your name out of the gutter
Ok, have you seen the replies to Oliver Holt then?I'll set aside the replies to SAFC fans, because that's tribalism. Any criticism from your fanbase will be viewed first and foremost as jealousy and rivalry. Rightly or wrongly, that is the nature of the beast.
Any chance of posting up some of those replies mate for those of us who don’t do Twitter?
Absolutely petrified to stand up for what they believe. It's almost like this was what their new owners wanted.Pretty disgraceful once more. Far be it for them to take an unequivocal stance on something as important as the murder of gay people. What a joke they are.
True enough. Maybe out of the sewer and back into the gutter thenWe could oust the Saudis, march over there and establish a liberal, democractic regime, solve world peace, end poverty and our names would still be in the gutter for some of you lot![]()
Absolutely f***ing mental.Interesting moral stance

Why one MP is ending her NUFC boycott over Wonga deal
Newcastle Central MP Chi Onwurah took her stand after the club's tie up with the controversial payday loan companywww.chroniclelive.co.uk
@FootballJOE: "We could look at the situation in Saudi Arabia and we could rightly condemn it, but it’s not really our responsibility as a group to act on something..." United with Pride told JOE they had been put in an "impossible position" following the takeover. Newcastle LGBTQ+ group defend statement, say they were put in 'impossible position' by Saudi takeover | JOE.co.uk
She doesn't represent the whole Labour Party I assume?I still can't get over the Labour MP for Newcastle publically supporting it.
I wish they would explain their definition of impossible. It’s not the same as mine. There’s a huge difference between can’t and won’t. I would think it was impossible to convince a gay person that being thrown from a tall building or being castrated was a good idea. But that’s just me.@FootballJOE: "We could look at the situation in Saudi Arabia and we could rightly condemn it, but it’s not really our responsibility as a group to act on something..."

They already are as far as I’m concerned.Newcastle United will become the most depised football club on the planet, ah well
All that is needed for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing
Attributed to Edmund Burke (though there is no evidence he ever said it.
Petty tribalism isn't it? Anything critical of the club and they'll leap to defend it. Not because they think the Saudis are alright lads who're just misunderstood, but because that tribalism is what football is for so many people. Look at how the Scousers rallied behind Suarez, or how the Man City fans go after Miguel Delaney, and so on and so forth.Ok, have you seen the replies to Oliver Holt then?
I’m not looking to draw you in to condemning your fan base, I don’t expect you to do that and you’ve been generally very reasonable on this thread but I believe your assertion that your fans are generally supportive only of the team and not the regime may be inaccurate. Even if it’s not then the vocal minority across Twitter and the way they’re going on will mean that the general perception of you (way beyond this board and SAFC fans) will be that you’re supportive.
That’s what they’re paying for I guess.
Adolf always bought his round. Even though he didn’t drink himself. Hell of a guy.Adolf Hitler and Stalin just a bit misunderstood they were generally nice!
