I think I saw Gilliead busking at Grey’s Monument last week!

Why England fans booing players taking a knee is wide of the mark.

The pre-kickoff show of solidarity on the pitch was marred by sections of supporters voicing their opposition in the stands

The other week you objected someone suggesting a thread to be closed down NI, so the same goes for anyone if you don’t like it, don’t read, don’t post, simple really.

Which is what I just said.

Duh!

Thank you, I shall wear that as a badge of honour alongside my olive green cap embroidered with a red star (yes really)!

And that’s Iron Snowflake to you. One that doesn’t melt when some inbred bulldog slobbers all over it.

My last post on it. Please move to non football mods.

How convenient for him!

The Big J character who spends all his time on t’other board telling us how much he loves the country (check out the avatar) and condemning the “woke libtards who hate this country” will now “not be watching and hoping they lose!”

Just because of a few seconds prior to kick off.

What a soft sod!

(I bet he was cheering the goal scorer last night!)

I see the virus has spread across to this board.

Must be the Indian variant!

Organised tour Awaywego. Into Athens classical sites including Delphi, couple of islands and back through the Corinth Canal. No hiding on a beach for a week!

However when we were there in Sept 19 it was when Thomas Cook went tits up and we’re were amongst the 150,000 that got stranded.

As it happened we got and extra day in a 5* hotel and Ryan Air flew us back into Newcastle. Lucky for us as the Manchester flight landed at Leeds/Bradford!

[Northumbiron]

Ipswich were expected to breeze it too.

There’s no such thing as a dead cert in football.

[Northumbiron]

Should have been in Greece this week. Second year in a row it was cancelled by the travel company.

What happens if they move the goalposts the other way?

Kick over his Lambretta, that’s what we used to do!

I’m guessing the mods are away on holiday.

Morecambe v. Sunderland will be quite the fixture next season though, NI!

My Mackem mate has his season ticket for SoL.

Probably never seen Cheltenham play before either!

[Northumbiron]

Yeah, lost my second closest away fixture.

Fingers crossed Hartlepool can win the NL playoffs.

I’d almost forgot.

The new kit that will look like a tie n’ dye t-shirt!

Can it get any more depressing?

[Northumbiron]

Not to mention the one Newport should have got when the Morecambe keeper punched their forward’s lights out!

And getting a penalty that clearly wasn’t one!

Which ones?

Thought we’d got rid of them all!

[Northumbiron]

Waste of time ‘tash!

The “holier than thou” brigade seldom answer questions.

I’m still waiting for a shed load on t’other board.

[Northumbiron]

The PLAYERS on the pitch are a large part of the problem.

Along with who put them there in the first place.

Are you still going on about Cox being the boss?

Still a skunk!

[Northumbiron]

Nah! Reckon we need colonic irrigation to get rid of the crap that’s been clogging up the club.

[Northumbiron]

Fair point but where’s OUR enema coming from?

[Northumbiron]

What you don’t factor in is gate money for season 21/22.

We don’t know as yet if fans will be allowed back in, what the maximum number will be if there’s still controls in place, and even if things got back to how they were pre-pandemic what sort of attendances we are going to see.

Three seasons of very poor performances, a near-death experience with non-league football and a season and a half with no fans in the ground. That’s not much of an incentive to get fans back through the turnstiles and get them munching on Swann’s pies and drinking his beer.

The days of a break even 3-3.5k attendances have passed. I can’t see gates getting much above 2k unless we are mounting a promotion challenge.

We were losing money before the “sale of the century” so I can see wages being cut further. Getting the likes of Hippo, KDT and Jarvis off the payroll would help but I can’t see a queue forming!

Is the old Division 3(N) trophy still in the cabinet? That might be worth a few bob at auction. It’s about the only thing Swann hasn’t sold off.

[Northumbiron]

I don’t talk about any member of THAT club!

[Northumbiron]

If he was then I look forward to Messrs Lineker, Shearer et al eulogising about Myles Hippolyte and Kenan Dunnwald-Turan on MOTD in a couple of years time!

To replace the five we lost?

Sharp, Lundstrum, Norwood, Johnstone and Townsend.

[Northumbiron]

On the losing side today as Bromley leapfrogged Wrexham into a playoff spot.

[Northumbiron]

Cam McGeehan was decent.
