10 Geordie messages for Father's Day cards - Howay the Dads!

Have you written your Father's Day card yet? If you are stuck what to say, you might like our list of 10 ideas - some funny, some practical, some just pure Geordie, and some for the biggest of Newcastle United fans only.

You can just pick whichever you think suits you and your dad the best - and then add any other personal messages, of course. "Happy Father's Day, love you lots" will also do the trick, but you might prefer these suggestions:

• Here it is in black and white - you're the best dad in Toon! (Black pen and white writing surface required)
• Happy Fatha's Day!
• You're a purely belter Dad

• I'd buy you Newcastle United if I could - but you'll have to settle for this card. Happy Father's Day!
• Gan canny - it's Fatha's Day!
• To the best gadgie in the world - Happy Father's Day!
• The Sunday scran is on me - Happy Father's Day!

We wish all our readers a great Father's Day - and if your dad is sadly no longer around, it's a great day to remember them. And don't forget, you can also put a free message in The Chronicle in print. Howay the Dads!
