Posted from ‘10:40am bells 🔔’ onwards, on the train from King’s Cross to The Toon
Put it simply, yoo cannit celebrate a goal like yoo used to coz VAR might get involved and disallow it!
And that’s exactly wot happened yesterday when a perfectly good goal by Fab Schar woz ruled oot, az Dan Burn woz alleged to have pushed a Fulim player in the box in the 75th minute
Then a few minutes later Bruno hit a rocket from ootside the box through a crowd of players to finally put us 1-0 up—-or had he???
Personally aa didn’t celebrate that goal az much az Schar’s disallowed goal— just in case!
It wasn’t until Fulim restarted the game from the centre spot that aa finally celebrated with joy!
The first half woz aall Fulim and they had 3 great chances to take the lead, while wor anly chance came from Anthony Gordon who fired just wide at the opposite Hammersmith End to where we were!
Gettin back to the 2nd half ---an amazing NINE minutes stoppage time woz added az the home side pressed for the equaliser—-actually, ELEVEN minutes were added!!!
That’s 101 minutes in total!—We survived the Fulim onslaught too take the valuable 3 points in wor quest for european futbaall again, az The Toon fan’s celebrated wildly at the final whistle!
TOON FANS WHEN THE FINAL WHISTLE BLEW!
(Some fans had to leave well before the end to catch the last train back at a ridiculous’6:00 bells’, coz of the train strike with later trains cancelled and they missed the winnin goal!)
Attendance:24,416 (2,300 Toon fans in The Putney End)
We were booked on the ‘9:00bells’ train but it woz cancelled, so we ended up stayin at a hotel near King’s Cross ❎ at an extra £65 each on top of the £100 (and 10 pence!) retorn train fare!
It ain’t cheap to follow NUFC away!
