Newcastle Fan's QR Code Tattoo Faces Removal Attempts After Cup Victory

Following Newcastle United's recent triumph in the League Cup, one passionate fan commemorated the victory by tattooing a QR code on his leg that links to a clip of defender Dan Burn celebrating his goal during the match against Liverpool. However, the fan's enthusiasm faced a setback when rival supporters campaigned to have the YouTube video removed, successfully getting it taken down shortly after its upload. The tattoo, which also features the phrase 'It's the boy from Blyth'—a nod to Burn's hometown—has now lost its intended function. The incident showcases the rivalry between clubs, with some fans finding humor in the situation while others express support for the Newcastle fan's dedication. The club's recent win broke a 70-year trophy drought, leading to large celebrations, including a parade that attracted around 200,000 fans. Newcastle's manager emphasized the vital role of fan support in their pursuit of future successes.
