United For Newcastle, but against the fans?

Well well well, guess who has been slagging some of you lot off? Not just once, but twice in recent weeks.

Apparently some of your comments aren't the taste of United For Newcastle and reading them lowers your IQ. That is the view of one of the co-founders of the group, who look to have blown any chance they have of engaging with the board again at Newcastle for good and now spend their time pimping links on Facebook instead.

Funny though really as we've done a lot for United For Newcastle and I really felt that they were on the right track with regard to getting some level of communication restored, so I can't understand the resentment they have towards this site and, it seems, the posters, or you guys, the fans they are supposed to represent.

I personally wrote two articles earlier on in the year detailing their achievements and interviews that they had managed to gleam from a rather, let's face it, poor board when it comes to communication. Moreno then wrote a piece after he felt aggrieved about them deleting his comments on Facebook as they weren't to their liking. As most of you are aware, we have a team of writers and we all have our own views. This is not a hard concept to understand.

The first little bite came when I challenged Steve Wraith about his wage cap philosophy. Fair play to Steve, he took it well and in the spirit in which it was intended. In fact he even used it as an article on his own site and we joked about it afterwards. This then prompted said co-founder, that I won't mention the name of but can be followed on Twitter @KTD89, to say that all we do is moan. Yes, one article out of over 600, and all we do is moan :roll:

I've just noticed another comment today, from the same said co-founder, based in Essex, that can be followed @KTD89, about the level of intelligence of you guys. Shocking really, especially when I know that a lot of you follow them. In response to someone saying about reading the comments at the bottom of articles in Sky Sports "lowering your intelligence", said co-founder replied with "You want to see some of the comments on www.nufcblog.co.uk".

A few days before this though they happened to contact us again and asked if we wanted some publicity. Now you know yourselves how busy this place is getting and quite frankly for a place that is only what, seven months old, it's stupidly busy, especially now we are on the Newsnow Publisher Network. I declined this "opportunity" of publicity for that reason. Funny then that three days later they were slagging us all off.

So who really needed the publicity after all?

Now I'm not interested in a war of words with them as, quite frankly, it's boring and I'll probably win, but what I don't like is people having a go at my site or the people that use it. I mean we are all NUFC fans after all, and we all have differences of opinion, so what gives them the right to get on at some of you - the people they are supposed to represent - behind your backs?

Unless of course you agree with their every word, in which case you're OK!
