Worst thing / trick ever played on a Newcastle fan.

You saw your chance, and took it !! Well played Sir !

And I have a clear conscience as well, because I didn't deliberately ruin his weekend. Nothing I could have done would have stopped him going to London. I didn't notice him still asleep as I got off, or I would have woken him up. (Probably ;) )

I just took advantage of the situation for my own childish amusement. And boy was I amused
 

When I was based in Gibraltar (1996 "I would love it" season) we had a telex link with the Falkands. The guy on the other end was a mag and asked me to keep him updated with their score and the Man utd score as they had a chance to win the league.

I kept on sending him various scores that showed the mags losing, coming back and then leading and the reverse for the Mna utd score. We got to 5pm(UK time) and he thought the mags had won the league.
He fell for it hook, line and sinker. "Best day of my life" "fuckin thanks mate, I owe you a pint" etc etc

I don't think he even noticed the "ftm"'s I'd drop in to the link now and then as he thought they were just random interference.
 
I heard a story from my Dad multiple times but don't know if it is true or not or even a figment of my imagination by now (I'm getting old you know).

My Dad told me that before one of our cup finals, one of his mag mates was winding him up so much that he actually painted the front of his house red and white when he was drunk. Whilst he was a very skilled painter and decorator, it's fair to say it didn't go down too well 🙈

I remember him saying that he did go back and get rid of it after the final, the lad never spoke to him again afterwards.

@HerdnMulhall @Barboza dh9 could any of yous tell me if there was any truth in this!
 
Following on from the marriage thread.
Come on then must be some belters.
When we beat the mags in the play off semi final my mag mate was away on holiday. I made a large wooden sign with the score on and painted red and white with warm key here we come on ir. I screwdriver it above his front door for when he came back. He took a while to borrow a ladder. Childish but Very funny at the time.
 
When I moved into my new house the first time I spoke to my next door neighbour I noticed he had a geordie accent.

So when I tackled sorting out the 3 ft high lawn I thought it would be hi jinx to mow FTM in the lawn and leave it for a few days so he would see it every time he looked out of his bedroom window - unfortunately he had the last laugh, I was so engrossed in perfecting my work of art, when I started the first bit of the M I accidentally cut through the lawnmower cable.

Then I found out a few weeks later he was actually a Sunderland fan anyway.
