“BAD BLUE BOYS BLISS!”
The Geordie Times entourage⬅️(We naa aall the big words!)met up at The Tudor Rose 🌹 boozer in Dunston for a few liquid lubrications, before heeding to Dunston’s groond a 10 minute walk away!
Az we approached the groond, cars were parked in every available space on paths and grass verges, which meant that there would be a much larger crowd in attendance than usual!
We paid in and heeded straight for the clubhoose, but the queue for the bar woz nearly oot the door, so we opted for ‘the can bar’ where there woz nee queue!
We managed to find a place on the touchline to watch the proceedings!
The game kicked off and straight away Dunston went on the attack az they played towards the ‘Tea Hut End’
They had several chances to take the lead but went in aall square at the break!
Emley were a bit better in the 2nd period and the game woz too-and fro and anybody could win it!
The game woz played in warm sunny conditions and the crowd woz at least 3 times the size of a normal Leegue game!
The Bad Blue Boys of Dunston (named after The Bad Blue Boys ultras of Dinamo Zagreb) finally won it when Dan Turner hit a low shot from the edge of the box, which unsighted the Emley keeper, to score a spectacular winning goal in the 94th minute to progress to the play off final, against Stocksbridge Park Steels back at UTS Stadium on Saturday!
The vast majority of the ‘huge’ 900 plus crowd went wild with delight az the Emley players fell to the groond in dispair!
To lose the game that late when extra time woz looming woz cruel to say the least, but it woz exxxxtaseee for Dunston az the entire team includin Dunston's rather large goalie Dan Lowson, who ran the full length of the pitch to mob the goal scorer near the far corner flag!
That’s futbaall for yoo!
Joy and dispair at every level of the game!
PS: The final iz on Saturday at ‘3:00 🛎️s'!—And guess wot? I’m booked on the ‘3:00 🔔s' train to King’s Cross on Saturday for wor way to Brightin for The Toon’s Premyaa Leegue game at ‘2:00 🛎️s' on Sunday!—(Its ny on impossible to get there on Sunday for the kick off time by train) So unfortunately I won’t be there to see mee fave non leegue team in the biggest game in their history!—Sods law!😬
(Davy the Silver Fox will keep me informed az the train heeds for London)
There's another 'play off' game on Friday neet at Newcasil Blue Star, when they take on Blyth Toon in the Northern Leegue Division One play off final, for a place in the Northern Premyaa Leegue East Division! (The Leegue Dunston are tryin to win promotion from)
'The Geordie Times' will be there az well and a crowd approachin a 'breathtakin' 2,000 iz expected!
It's a '7:30 bells' kick off and if yoo are gannin it would be wise to buy a ticket online from the Blue Star website!---or yoo might not get in!
