  1. Not at all, was a yellow at the very worst, Atkinsons hardly card happy today, see the Larson/Shola incident for evidence. If Tiote'd tried to do him, fair does, but no way on earth did he, I'd be screaming blue murder over Tiote if I thought that, I'm not his biggest fan by a long way.
  2. Nope, not at all, never a straight red in a million years, extremely harsh red. Fletcher flopping around like a beached salmon didn't help
  3. No he fucking didn't. His foot was up and turned side on.
  4. Utter rubbish, he hung his leg out, never left the ground and his instep hit Fletcher, not even studs up. Bullshit ref-ing. Game killed, well done Mr Atkinson.
  5. "This is the strongest Sunderland team I've faced. They've got some players who could get in our team".
  6. The very fact that no matter the gulf in class between us and them makes me fear "the law of averages".
  7. ............. 380,000 Jews were deported by 30 June 1944 – the rounding-up was undertaken by the Hungarian Gendarmerie
  8. Not heard that one (neither at the coast or elsewhere - for clarity)
  9. We used Ralphy, that was a reference to Ralph Gardner school "pupils" next to the Ridges (now Meadowell) or those like them. Mid sixties.
  10. Different age groups use things with different context's I guess. I haven't used "gadgie" for as long as I can remember, but do use codge/codger. I would guess as I am now a "gadgie" I use the next term up for those older than me. Once I'm a codger I guess all I'll have left to use is corpse.
  11. Nope, just stating how it was used when I was lad, which was considerably before you lot were lads. I will soon be promoted from Gadgie to Codger.
  12. Usually an older bloke when we used it (in my yoof), I would be a gadgie now, you wouldn't.
  13. As the crow flies, it's 11 miles. A normal assesment of distance between two points, I would suggest.
  14. Just fulfilling my care in the community quota, trying to educate the helplessly thick. If you shout long and hard enough it might become true.
  15. Hardly ever used now, but was commonly used pre Charva, just accept it man!! (btw 13 miles from Scotswood and you'd be asking the fish their opoinion)
  16. Doubt it's used many places these days, been superceded by charva I reckon. Be interesting if your mates know it, my lads are mid/late 20's and they knew it.
  17. Returning for a moment to the knowledge/use of Scotchie/Scotchy at the coast. A straw poll of my coastal FB chums has an early score of 5-1 in favour of "knowing/heard of/used the word" the one "nay" in the poll is from my daughter in law......................................................................................................................................................................................................she's from the west end
  18. You have wrong end of the stick Fishy. The argument is not about the origin, (I wouldn't have a clue where it came from, I did put forward a tongue in cheek theory mind) the point is/was about a statement made along the lines that "no-one outside of the west end and definitely down the coast" had ever said/heard of said word, several persons outside of the west end have stated that is not the case, me amongst them.
