Newcastle fans simply can’t take it

I was working in Newcastle during the 90s and the amount of stick I got for Boro losing finals and getting relegated was incredible.

Seeing some of their reaction to what amount to lighthearted ribbing is unbelievable. They simply can’t take it.

A little bit unfair we know how much it hurts to lose on a cup final.. be it league cup, fa cup or EUFA cup.. it’s very disappointing.
 
6th May 1996, last game of the season, half the Riverside cheering for Man Utd, when they beat us to win the league over the skunks..

Watching that back it's surprising to see that pretty much everyone stayed back to applaud utd doing a trophy lap.

Was it the Newcastle factor or that pallister was there and the robbo history?
 
I don't necessarily have anything against Newcastle fans, and I know the pain of losing at Wembley, so I wouldn't say I'm enjoying their disappointment - BUT - it's quite amusing to see the clock keep ticking on their trophy-less run, and of course it's nice to be the most recent trophy winners in the region, even if it's been almost 2 decades now since our success.

Deffo the Newcastle factor, it was a party atmosphere that day. we were mid table, (Nothing to play for)
I had mixed feelings going to the ground, part of me wanted us to beat Man Utd , but I didn't want the mags to win the Premiership.
Our result didn't matter in end as they failed to beat Spurs at home.

Yes don’t forget the way they reacted to the trophy virgin flag.. formally complaining and saying it was a form “racism”.

Beware.
An organisation based in the North of England is pretending to be a football club.
This organisation claims to be called Newcastle United.
They dress up like magpies seeking poor disadvantaged geordies starved of success.
With promises of cup glory thousands have been persuaded to part with money.
Including an incredibly wealthy oil rich arab nation.
But it is clear this "club" has never had any intention of winning anything.
Tne club has already taken billions in cash for trophies that it has not delivered.
Do not be fooled.
Only support reputable and professional football clubs like the Boro.
