Clarky - mag/makem relations

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

This may have been a test as to how often I lurk but ... occasioanl by name occasional by nature.

I understand your sentiments. Most fans would prefer not to have the violence associated with the derby. However, you seem to be pleading for the sort of cordial realtionship that would deprive the whole even from the emotions that make it so special.

I would be happy to have/buy/have-bought a pint with you 363 days a year and explain what a dreadful state you are in compared to the good ship Sunderland FC. Two days a year are for spending with like minded humans.

McB - I assume you'd take that as red.

Sparxx - I have no idea what you are talking about but I am sure it is very funny.

Thanks for your response OML - no test, just a genuine question.

I actually believe your response is a extremely good one - as you say, perhaps derby days are just way too partisan for friendly 'drinky poos'. Certainly, we don't ever want to diminish the special atmosphere of a Tyne-Wear Derby.

As you suggest, an excellent compromise position to reach would be one where the other 363 days were a lot more amicable than right now.

We'll definitely have that pint one of these days, but if I were you I would be making it sooner rather than later - if you know what I mean?

Why not arrange a get together for maKems and Geordies in a neutral pub for the Greece International?

A good idea, but one we could not justify with some element of competition. I have no problem drinking with 1 or 2 individual NUFC supporters, but I dislike the mags as a collective mass and would not be seen dead fraternising with barcode-clad masses. How about Greenspun versus RTG as a pub quiz, at a neutral location?

The maKems would win any quiz with questions relating to Newcastle and Sunderland as most are closet Newcastle fans. This has been proved on many ocasions, for some reason maKems take an unhealthy interest in the Skunks.

As for a meeting , I'm up for it and don't mind beeing seen fraternising with the Barber Poles.
