Do me a favour, posting as an opponent of Sunlung? Only when you are playing Newcastle. Otherwise you are very wrong on that one.

Funny that you have the same first name as the host of our BBS, Mr Tea Trolley! Welcome anyway.

Where do you hope Reid will strengthen your squad for the new season?

I guess Rik is right. It was an insult based on phonetics. so "mak" as an adulteration of "make" and "em" for "them" gives

makem

Hackem just describes their footballing(?) style.... dirtiest team in the Premiership (Opta)

It annoys them knowing that they don't have a real identity. In other parts of the country / world, they are mistaken for Geordies and spelling their name in various forms simply confirms that maKems are a small insignificant part of Geordieland.

A very poignant posting by my right honourable friend. We would not be here but for your underwelmingly immature pranks on RTG (cue: "what's a RTG, sounds painful?"...yawn) and GTT is within his rights to fire a shot across your bow.

We know all about your little rumours game. I'm sure most of you are decent chaps and chappesses and it's the immature minority involved, but be warned - desist or else!

As for lacking identity, why is it your lot that insist on walking about like clones in your home replica strip? Do you buy any other NUFC merchandise?

Re: strengthening our squad. With a top class right winger and a couple of decent strikers we should be comfortable top-six material. You, on the other hand, will be dross for the foreseeable future.

Hey ML3 did you see my postings a week or two ago about maKems coming to watch Newcastle in the pre 70s? Apparently it was comonplace with maKems lving in County Durham, when our fathers were bairns.

Ask your Dad/Uncle if you don't believe me.

I've no idea what he's banging on about as posing as a fan of another team on your board....it's bollox....i've visited that board ONCE in recent months (about 8 weeks ago!) and that was after you lot started pissing around on here.....I can't even remember if I posted or not but I doubt it and if I did then I certainly NEVER hid my identity....

As for desist or else.... you make me laugh :)))

I've never been there for months either. I hate the idea of giving their advertisers hits . Why support the maKems that run the RTG site by going there?

Mackem Lurker #3 in non-mag slagging posting shock!

Well, almost....the last bit of his / her posting bordered on civil debate about football. Methinks the Mackems are getting a tad carried away with how good they think they are; the way things stand they are going to end up about 2 or 3 wins above us in the league - hardly a class apart is it? Give us a full Season of Dyer, Dabz and a fully fit Shearer and I'd still say we're a superior side. Whaddya reckon #3? BTW why do you lot always conclude that any imposter on RTG must automatically be a Greenspunner? There are thousands of Mags with internet access these days and some of them are inevitably arses.

I'm with Rik, It is spelt Makem. My Makem hubby spells it like that too !

What the f**k is RTG?

Don't even concern yourself Jack - it's not worth your interest.
Trust me.

Oh alright, if you insist - it's a really dreadful maeckum bulletin board on which the poster to use the most swear words each week qualifies for two free tickets to The Flatpac for life.
It's not a pretty place, and my advice is avoid it like new- variant CJD.

Rik, I am aware that our Co. Durham forebears went to watch both the mags and mackems depending on who was at home, although I believe they always kept a primary allegiance. The practice has died away due to (IMHO) the advent of cheaper transport to away games and more expensive ticket prices - rather than increased hatred between the 2 sets of fans - but I understand from local press there are still one or two old boys who still watch both.

Personally speaking, I am from God's Holy City and if any of my friends or family had so much as offered a word of praise for NUFC they would have been hang-drawn and quartered in Fawcett Street.

The unique SAFC/NUFC rivalry is part of the enjoyment of being a NE football fan, and drives our clubs on to succeed, but success and the influx of non-Geordie glory-seekers in the Keegan years has led you away from your northern roots. It is our duty to remind you where you come from - if that means inflitrating your secretive non-mackem BBS and posting copious three letter acronyms and football results sobeit.

It is spelt Makem, from "Mak'em". Jebus H, they are thick in Wearside.

I'll probably regret contributing to this thread, but can somebody please explain to me why anybody in their right mind would knowingly go to a web site on which they have absolutely no chance of being taken seriously and will inevitably end up merely trying to outdo the current worst piece of unreasoned abuse.

The last person to ask for a sensible opinion on makems is a mag.

The last person to ask for a sensible opinion on mags is a makem.

A fact of life which should deter even a halfwit from trying to gain some kind of upper hand.

What's disappointed me a bit is that there are contributions on here from people I know and for whom I have a fair amount of regard. I'd have expected that a posting which is obviously deliberately abusive and provocative would be absolutely and completely ignored, depriving the originator of whatever dubious satisfaction might be gained from knowing we've bitten again.

Now I'll just sit back and wait to see what sort of well reasoned argument will be advanced to put me well and truly back in my place.

Oops. Better change into a new pair of incontinence pants - the excitement will be infinitely too much for a doddering owld git like me. :-))

For the last time its makem (small caps to signify their insignificance)as for them thinking they are a class apart, give me a break. They consider a succesful season by virtue of finishing above us. Wooooooooowooooooooo, we were crap again this year.
