Nile Ranger Tells Certain Fans Not To Bother Going To Games
By Tyne-Talk January 19 2013
Newcastle United striker Nile Ranger has foolishly taken to Twitter to tell the fans to stay home rather than boo the team. Anybody watching the game would have heard the crowd boo the choice of substitutions Alan Pardew made when he took both Sylvain Marveaux and Yohan Cabaye off the pitch, however the team itself were not the subject of booing from the crowd. Pardew has since confirmed that Cabaye had a setback with his groin injury and that the decision to take him off did not go down well with the home crowd. That said, Nile Ranger, who is lucky to have had the support of the club and its fans at all after his previous behaviour, has said that "Certain fans need not come and support" the team.
The comments have angered fans online, who were already dismayed at todays defeat.
Since the initial Tweet he has proceeded to get into an arguement with fans, adding;

Ranger needn't turn up for a game either. Stupid boy.
Not that I agree with the fans booing either the players or manager, but they don't need to be told off by a player who contributes nothing positive to the club.

What does this brainless idiot bring to NUFC that means he can come out with this rubbish? Three goals in three years (more run ins with the law than goals) and trolling about Forest Hall in the most gawdy black and white range rover.
He's just an idiot who knows nothing about the fans and their feelings of frustration.Booing however is not something I agree with but people vent their anger in different ways.Just because I don't agree with it doesn't mean people are not entitled to do it.Each to their own we are all fed up but we still need to back the team after all that is what supporters do!

listen ranger. Whatever u said was fine. But the last part made my blood boil. without us FANS u would not have a JOB. I wish u have such an injury that u cant play again. As by than u will have no money and see what we fans sacrifice to come watch the games. Which leaves with a dent with the prices.
TBH I aint Ranger's biggest fan at all, but I agree with him on the most part, I mean seriously as a fan of the club what is the point of booing your own team off the pitch?
It's going to put even more pressure on the manager and players who are already going through a very bad patch. They need to build confidence not have it taken away at every opportunity. Everyone at the club knows the @#$%& we are as do we, booing them however is not the answer, I bet a large proportion of the booing fans wouldn't even entertain or feel proud to walk around in an NUFC top if we were to be relegated. NUFC is for life not just when their doing well.
We really need to get behind the team, yes yesterdays match was poor (well 2nd half in anycase.) and I do agree it was Pardews subs fault yesterday. Not too concerned with the Cabaye one as it was confirmed as an injury but Marveraux off was a terrible decision followed by Anita, imo Jonas should have been taking off instead.
If any potential new signings were watching that yesterday what would they think about coming to a club where the fans boo the team? It aint going to help too much is it? I think they'd rather get booed off 20k fans than 52k fans. And to think we always used to sing "we are the loyalist, football supporters the world has ever seen".
I was at the game and the booing was only at the poor decisions of pardew on who he had taken off . Marveaux was having a good game while Jonas was having a stinker that was the cause of the booing to begin with then he took off cabaye (we didn't know of the injury) and then Anita all three were playing well and controlling the game for us up untill he started meddling around .
And as for pardew claiming that it caused negativity to spread around the guy is so full of sh*t the booing was only while the subs board was up after the crowd finished booing the bad decisions on who to take off perch and bigi got a great reception (can't say the same for obertan)and the crowd were singing "you don't know what your doing"
And as for the the comments about the type of fans who were booing it was almost all including the two season ticket holders next to me who have had there's for 34 years
But once again the media have edited it to make us look bad they didn't show any of the booing for marv or Anita's subs or the cheer that bigi and perchino got or any of the abuse aimed at pardew they just want to make our bad situation worse
I booed yesterday, at the substitution, I also booed at the final whistle.
We were crap, lost against reading, what are we meant to do applaud the complete lack of aptitude?
I pay my money it's up to me how I make my feelings known
As for mr Ranger, while he has sat around enriching himself greatly at my expense, while offering nothing but a string of court apparences in return, I would think he would be wise to merely keep his mouth shut and be grateful.
Its easy for me to sit in judgement as I live down south these days and only really go to away games occasionally SJP. I don't hear booing when we play away just the fans getting behind the team!But as I said before its each to their own.Most games I go to in London tend to end up with us getting beat anyway!
We play well for spells in games but seem unable to sustain it for the whole game. Whether its tactics that are wrong or just a lack of belief who knows. What I do know is if things don't change then we are daffy ducked!
