I have to confess to something here Shinton.
I have Newcastle fans in my family, in the Consett and Chopwell areas, so much of this stuff is just harmless banter.
However, one thing I really struggle with is the treatment of Bobby Robson.
I come from Durham and our two families knew each other so I always watched his career with interest. What sickens me was how he was hailed as a returning Geordie hero despite not being a Geordie, turned on despite giving Newcastle great service and thrown out while the fans turned their backs and whistled.
That was bad enough but when he died the way the Newcastle fans claimed him was dreadful. I won't go into that behaviour because it's upsetting but we all know what went on.
Whenever I have a look on BBC 606 it sickens me with the amount of people who have usernames like 'Sir Bobby Robson-Legend' and latch onto his status in football.
If anyone but a Newcastle fan dares to mention his name they're immediately jumped on as being disrespectful.
Very poor and I'll never forgive the hypocracy.
