Ive watched a good few of these videos and every time i watch and listen it gets funnier and funnier .......its like the old Pathe news after the war !!!😂😂😂
Wasn't a sweaty anywhere near the Leazes End....packed the Gallowgate though...pissed most of em'...and stunk of piss...
NME ,ffs nobody has EVER heard of your fishy on a dishy Firm outside your street .
@@gordoncampbell100Well you should get out more then
@@Willsey I get out plenty WillyZy or whatever your pissed up Yokel name is ?
@@gordoncampbell100 that’s an intelligent reply . Usually find when someone comes on and insults the previous poster they haven’t much to offer.
@@gordoncampbell100 FIRM OWD BIWW ON DER TOWS INNIT!? nothing without back up and drink. that go for 95% of hooligans.
Newcastle v forest, 1974 my first ever game….running battles all over with forest before game, during and after.Middlesbrough away 83, smoggies chased out of seats in away end. Local news classed it as innocent Boro fans. Again running battles all the way from train station to Ayresome park. Liverpool 84, a few younguns ran onto pitch, loads of fighting outside ground.
Forest batterd them clowns that day. And we end up drinking in there pub afterwards
@@robbeadle9487Dream on woolyback .
@@robbeadle9487jack a fucking nory…!!! We ran you at the fountain pub in 87 despite your fucking blades swishing about, and brought it to you on the pitch…!! Stop yr shite talking and wipe your chin…! Youve done fuck all at Newcastle and never will…..A lot of old skool Newcastle lads are pals with one or two of yours…
Had to laugh at some of the numbers quoted. 10,000 at Leicester when they only had the tiny stand opposite the camera. 50 trying to take the Liverpool cop. 25 scattering 200 Antwerp. Who wrote the script Cass Pennant?😃
3 ran the Stretford end
the 25 scattering 200 is just laughable
@@SIRDKA which team are you referring to ?
@@manutd7015 Newcastle
Super mack,scored the best goal I've ever seen even to this day ,,Bolton v Newcastle ,fa Cup with his back to the goal on the half way line from a through in he spun round and belted it into the net ,45 yds ,and 500 thrown out lots trouble 😮
Chris Waddle done something similar from the half way line in the dying minutes V Burnley or Bolton circa 83/84. 2-2 if i remember rightly.
Supermac scored against Bolton from about 23 yards watch it on TH-cam nowhere near the halfway line
Nowhere near the halfway line
I was there great goal one of many by supermac!
Best goal ever by supermac preseason friendly against hibs 3 second goal, Tudor passes to mac from kickoff mac shoots and score while keeper has his back to game checking his goal lmao!
Jimmy Nail was top boy, kicking the s#it out of everyone with his crocodile shoes
Jimmy nail was apparently a main hooligan at Newcastle in the 70s and got jailed for football violence.
Newcastle had a big mob and were ok at home and you needed a decent mob up there but we always done well there, it was nearly always a Wednesday night match remember one evening we met a mob outside and chased them down a hill only to bump into a second mob now it was more even I was aving it with this geezer and tripped on the curb right in front of a bus and the fellow I was fisticuffs with pulled me out the road thanks mate nice one, we had it in the leazes end but old bill kept us apart after.
Petrol bomb game it went over my head but we were right up for this game before and after the game we done everything that came at us, one of the best games I went to.
In the Fairs Cup semi final game against Rangers, the blues had the Gallowgate end and didn't take the Leazes. Apart from that there was bedlam before and after the game, something I'll never forget.
Unless you get alzheimers. Then all bets are off.
now they all stand there with their mobiles taking pictures of european fans trashing their city and causing havoc, how times have changed for the worse
That Leicester game last match of the season was mental begore, during and after. Think we only had a couple of thousand fans there.
Anyone remember the League Cup at OT late 70s I think. I was in the United Rd that night, about 1500/2000 Newcastle turned up, Newcastle lost 7.2 and at full time when we came out, Newcastle had been battered, I saw a lad from Newcastle crying and holding his stomach talking to a Policeman and others were just getting a kicking, I saw one trying to crawl under a car but he got the shit kicked out of him. And another game I'm sure this was a Saturday I might be wrong, me and my mates were in the K Stand above the Scoreboard end and I'm not joking when I say that about 20 Newcastle turned up. At the end of the game we was looking down at them and one of them offered us 50p for one of our scarves, told him to do one, he was crapping himself.
My dad went to Millwall away in 1974, when we got relegated. He said it was THE scariest game he ever went to. United got a proper kicking. However, Millwall didn’t dare show up at OT either😂
@@DannyG-cv8so Yeah at least United turned up at Millwall and let's not forget there were only a few hundred of them, we had 2 football specials cancelled so there would have been more. When United played Millwall at home there were no coaches and just one special, they wouldn't even come out of the station. A lot went home on the same train and some were escorted to a nearby fire station for their own safety. Non turned up at the game. They had all gone home by then. So much for Millwall and West Ham.
and Manu utd got battered every time they came to Newcastle so fuck? you may have took the piss everywhere else in 70's and 80's but not at Newcastle you didnt . ask your pal tony o' neil.
@@drover110 Don't talk crap mate, the top firm in the North East was and still is Boro Frontline. I've been to both grounds a few times and Newcastle weren't a patch on Boro. I've seen Geordies get battered home and away with United.
@@manutd7015 Boro came good late 80's but agreed they were very good. E arly 80's Newcastle had some good turnouts at ayesome park but that's another story. As for Man utd where do I start? you 're Mib lot was the only time (early 2000's you had the better of us at home. and I can testify to that first hand- you did us outside of Rosies bar hands up to that. other than that very little. You were infiltrated in the leazes boxing day 86. and chased around town before f.a cup game in 89, done outside black bull before game I could go on and on, in 70's you tried to take the piss but got slaughtered before and after the game, during game Newcastle even came into the gallowgate when it was for away fans. You're top lad and very respected lad Tony O' Neil gives a more honest account than you're delusions of grandeaur. At old Trafford early 2000 we landed in Eccles before game and had a good toe to toe which admittedly Man utd got the upper hand. I can't speak for other occasions as wasn't there but like I say at Newcastle apart from once you got the run a round, especially in the 80's. and that's a fact.
We had 1800 at Leicester
Great staunch supporters a tough bunch probably not amongst the best organised 80s firms
Before the game at Leicester and after Wild West
Got the rangers story wrong away fans are allocated the gallowgate I was at the match the only fans ever in the leezers were man city for the league title only because they got in early , but were soon shifted.
Pissing me self laughing
Who makes this up
Even the Newcastle scarfers want it.
Rangers took the leezes 😂 No one has ever done that. Over the years I've only ever seen a few fans from leeds and Tottenham in the leezes end 71-72 as soon as they showed their colours they left via the red gravel onto the pitch with the police shielding them taking them to the Gallowgate. My time is from the start of 69-70 season so cant comment on the 60s. Did a Macum give you your information.
I was at the forrest 1/4 final and was in the first 50 on the pitch behind a huge bloke in a black suit and white shirt who got jailed I got bit by an alsation and me mam went nuts when she clocked me on the news. Best full day of it I've ever seen was at WHU first time after the petrol bomb.
From 6am untill midnight we were in about 20 running skirmishes from upton park to the cockney pride pub picadilly to kings cross. The MET were up for it that day and they thought we were NF
Came to Chelsea a couple of times but it never ended well.
This is complete bollocks , rangers fans for starters were in the gallowgate end and the computer generated voice is nauseous
Is there a End you Liars haven't been in ?
We came, we saw , we conquered, we grew up..
Absolute nonsense start to finish, got just about everything wrong - the author must be really gullible, maybe listening to a few of the wannabes who followed the Bender Squad
Not all nonsense. There was hell on after the 84 game at Liverpool. We parked our van behind the kip, not our greatest move and it was a bit tasty. Pub behind had Newcastle and Liverpool going at it inside. Seem to remember I had an old donkey jacket, couldn't have been more Newcastle. Stanley knife crew were in force.
Kop
Bit of a giggle ,but know a few of newcastle lads ,good lads but all prefer a good drink unless people take the Piss.
Half these stories aren't true . yous have missed loads of true facts like early 1970 when ordinary Newcastle fans attacked man utd fans centre station before game and afterwards also the ones who came to Newcastle by coaches were attacked at cattle market Also At half time man u fans had leftside of the gaollowgate Newcastle fans we're trying to get to man u fans .At back of gallowgate got to give them Man u fans some credit they give us as good as they got .At that point.Police kept them inside the ground for 20 or 30 minutes after the game then all hell broke loose.This just one of them true facts
We got less than 2k at Filbert st last day of season but 90% were our main lads. Was quality over quantity that day- how do I know? I was there and on the front cover of next days chronicle. If you know you know!!
Newcastle Shrewsbury, Newcastle Shrewsbury 💪🇬🇧
❤
And the pair of you got legged out in Germany more than once over the summer
30 Sunderland walked into a pub at euro 96 vs Scotland, another 90 outside, a few Shrewsbury got a kicking in the pub, and the rest were left.
Who is talking shit here? Because I am a Mackem, and I went to the Match against West ham with my Geordie Friends because I knew that the Newcastle fans were nowt ,first my Geordie Mates Pointed me out as a Mackem just for a laugh and the Mags done nowt but laugh, then Petrol Bomb was thrown from behind me but I wasn't sure why , ìt hit
West Ham and they put it out , but at full time we left and. all West Ham were throwing bricks so the scum ran and smashed Greggs Pie Shop window then went near the Buses and fought between themselves not West Ham , 😂 and that is the TRUTH BECAUSE I WAS THERE !! so they don't touch 1 Mackem or West Ham, so whoever is talking get another Job because you are talking SHITE !!
you speak with forked tongue, what's the difference between a mackem and a jellyfish. nowt they're both spineless 😂
I heard there was around 10k shit themselves when they were told you were a Mackem ?
I doubt very much you were there. Probably not even born
Having a makem as a mate oooof worse craic going
Millwall was a good skirmish gave them a shock as how mental geordies can be when provoked, they will never admit it though they got a shock before during and after.
Was at the rangers cup game and have memories of a jock in a kilt swinging around with a police alsation fixed to his arse
Leeds away in 70 s was worst ive witnessed .was even discussed on the big match even tho the match wasnt televised
My worst was also Leeds. October 1982. Before, During and After
Newcastle v Chelsea 2022. A few kids jumping around behind the police. Major battle 😃
Jonny Sharp?
I was at the SAFC V NUFC game in the NUFC end, watching all the fans leave the Fulwell End during half time leaving it half empty, i must have been about 10, but i can't remember too much fighting ... Smoggy game kicked off outside the following season. Bellends like to exaggerate 80s football violence to get attention.
Did they face the LSC...?
Rangers did not take the Leazes end. I eas there in the Leazes end. Tangers fans were all in the Gallowgate
Must be hard living in the shadow of newcastle. A micky mouse tyne bridge. Main train station got one platform no where near a main line. We even had to complete the building of your ships even tho there's one on your badge (on its way to the Tyne) you would even try to claim your coal was from the Tyne(wallsend coal) you show potential signings around the toon to tempt them to sunderland ( sunder) old english for seperated wasteland ..and the shittest patter ever
Get your fact right. There wasn't 10000 at Leicester and the trouble was from their idiots. Three times during the match their lot invaded the pitch from behind the goal led by an idiot in a pink shirt. The police did nothing. Coins were constantly hoyed at the Newcastle fans resulting with one fan losing an eye. The trouble before and after was nothing to do with the gremlins but their thugs going for anyone from Newcastle. How do I know. I was there as we're lots of my friends. Before the match drinking at the Huntsman as we got there before the doorman.
That was a rough pub
@@petershrive416 the locals were great with us. Maybe it was our attitude. We just want a drink and a sing song. One of the lads had a harmonica. He played the start of meatloafs 2 out of 3 and the whole bar was singing word for word. That was a different match there. A great memory
Rangers fans were gallowgate end Honestly get your facts right
Fantasy football
Who writes this crap!?! For decades I have been hearing about the Rangers fans in 1968. But this is the first time i have ever heard that 'they took the Leazes'... Just to help those who cannot distinguish between fact and folk law... the Leazes had a roof and the Gallogate did not. You can even see this in a ohoto in this video.
Can you do wolves
Wolves next after sunderland
Everyone's done wolves.
Who can't 😂😂😂😂😂
@@tarnarmy Funny you say that, I remember 6000 Geordies in the 1980s last game of the season at Molineux when the Geordies came on the pitch at the end and got run off it by a hundred Wolves.
@@SIRDKA So whose everyone mate? And who are you?
Correction,Forest held their own…Fact!
Gizmo was leader 😂😂
Farcical from a gremlin ....absolutely turnip apart from cardiff
They only averaged 18000 in the 80s😂
@@Stephen-lx9nm Attendances were low everywhere you fool. I was around then . You
Probably were not
Well known for nothing ftm
You must have loads of stories of smashing up the league 1 fans. Ha
Sunderland have always run away from Newcastle 300 boys in the Fulwell end safc shit there pants never seen any mackums in the gallowgate never facts
What a load of typical Geordie bollocks 😂
Barcodes have never had a firm 😂😂😂😂😂
Bender squad not 1 over em seen a police cell
So ,basically everyone comes to st James park and kicks the shit out of the locals….
like today its manly arm waving and shouting. nowt like russians.
Bath Lane was a great day for Sunderland.
Sunderland won that day - hands up
