Boycotting the team i love

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Unofficial Newcastle United Football Club BBS : One Thread

I'm sorry to sound stupid idiotic and irrational but if we employ Ashley Ward i'm going to seriously reconsider calling watching my team a pleasure.

I wanted to say i'll never go again, but that would be silly, but its nearly how i feel

please tell me there is NOTHING in this story, please

My thinking is, that if there was anything in this story the transfer would have been brought up when we really needed a striker at Xmas. There was a week when we were asking everyone for players and it never surfaced then.

I honestly think it is more a case of Glass out of contract so papers find a new club for him and put 2 and 2 together, making 5.

Careful with the 'deb', which may imply a female connection!

I just want to thank De Builder for the Chuckle in regards to being called "Deb" and thanks to Swifty for the innuendo. Needed that, specially after last night.

Divvent get ower excited bonny lad. I just want to say that some women can be ungrateful. I am sure that the lasses that adorn us with their company on here are not like that.

Things that would make me boycott NUFC again (hated doing it during the boardroom battle). I came close when we signed Duncan Ferguson but bottled out of it.

1) John Gregory takes over as manager 2) We sign Dennis Wise 3) Ken Bates becomes chairman.

Ashley Ward - doesn't get anywhere near that level of reaction, he's just a journeyman footballer, not someone you can hate.

Ward is the flatline of football - fans, your club is dead, it has given up.

would you stick a micra engine in a race car?

Hey Martin......

Point 1)I could live with, bit like doglead, hated the tw@t before he became manager, tolerated him while he was there and had a party when he went.

Point 2) much as above.....narky little tw@t, but like David Batty, if he was our narky little tw@t I could tolerate it.

Point 3) That's it.....I'm out of here and off the top of the nearest tower block.
