Oh dear I will assume you think the use of sanddancer would locate me Sunderland, oh dear oh dear you are so far off target it’s laughable. My posts would give you a good idea I’m not far from the Riverside my friend.. The nick name simply from the locations I worked, hot deserts? Link to post Share on other sites

Which would fit with wishing Newcastle well even when being taken over by a paleo-petro-slave state. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I lived and worked in Asia for 39 years and I agree there are some questionable activities BUT what you don’t see, as you have not worked or lived there, is the harmony between nationalities, what you don’t understand is the how leaders from Asian countries exploit their own, I am suggesting those from Indian, Sri Lanka etc. It’s taking Asia has taking a greater amount of time to develop and adapt to the new world, unfortunately because of religious values and trust of the West.  Link to post Share on other sites

I am in no way defending Asia but understand a great deal more simply because of the time I spent there but thats your choice, but suggest with a bit of study you may broaden your views.   Link to post Share on other sites
Old Codger 3,039 Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 I do understand what you are saying Sandy, but to some of us there is little difference between the Gulf States and the politics and ethics of Putin and his ilk, but not wanting to start a "discussion", support your right to your opinion whilst not necessarily agreeing with it.

But hey, money money money, right? It's not a good thing for football and it's certainly not a good thing for society. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Mind you, people have been saying the same since we bought Alf Common for £1,000 back in 1905. That said, I agree. The sportswashing of a whole series of corrupt and murderous regimes is abhorrent and disgusting. If the Boro did it then I absolutely would walk away from the club because I would want no part of that. I'm pretty sure some Newcastle fans will do the same but that no one will notice them gone when St James is packed to the rafters. Link to post Share on other sites

Used to live at a place called Sandy in Beds! Easy to find at one time as it was the first left/right turn at the only set of traffic lights on the A1! Link to post Share on other sites
Humpty 3,238 Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 This takeover is going to be really *** isn’t it? 😕 Link to post Share on other sites
Rat catcher 293 Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Good luck to the Skunks, The only ones worried about this take over will be the likes of Chelsea, Man City, Man utd and Liverpool. It will mean there is another club that may be able to outspend them. How many on here would bring up human rights etc is a multi billionaire consortium came in for us ? Link to post Share on other sites
