“MARTIN DUBRAVKA, HE’S ONE OF OUR OWN!”
It took a grand total of 66 seconds for NUFC to open the scorin at Turf Moor, when Anthony Gordon ran doon the wing and after outwitting a Bornleee defender sent a cross in and Joelinton woz on hand to stick hiz foot oot and divert the baall into the the far corner of the net, to give former Toon keeper Martin Dubravka ‘nee chance’ to put us 1-0 up! (The earliest Prem goal that Bornleee have conceded!— according to the BBC!)
It didn’t take lang to double wor lead, when a scramble in the box fell to Yoane Wissa, who’s forst shot ricocheted off a Hillbillies defender and back to wor number 9!
And he made nee misstayk with hiz second shot az it went ower the goal line to put us 2-0 aheed—and coastin’— Whey thiz IZ NUFC and we took the foot off the gas and let Bornleee back into the game, and they missed chances!
However!— the inevitable then happened, when they pulled one back when Laurent hit a volley from inside the box, to beat The Pope in the Toon goal in the 23rd minute!
The nerves were jangling and then Fab Schar cleared a shot off the line, to huge relief from the Toon Travellers! HT 2-1 to us!
The half time trek to the ‘tool-shed’ for a ‘gypsys kiss’, woz chaotic to say the least! It took 20 minutes to fight through the absolutely rammed away concourse to get there and back to mee seat!—So lang in fact that as missed the kick off in the 2nd half!—One ‘tool-shed’ for 2,000 plus fans!—Total shit! ๐ฉ(excuse the pun!) ⬇️
The second half woz nee better with the home side gannin close a few times, but thanx to The Pope, he denied them an equaliser!
The one effort he could dee nowt aboot, woz the one that hit the bar from a heeder by Laurent, but thankfully it rebounded to safety!
We had chances az well, notably when Malick Thiaw had a goalbound effort cleared off the line—and then inexplicably an unmarked Jacob Murphy somehow skied the baall from close range az we tore wor hair oot from the roots in frustration!
However, wor ‘hero of the day’ torned oot to be wor ex keeper Martin Dubravka, who raced oot of hiz box to clear a loose baall—but a mix up with one of hiz defenders let in Bruno, who coolly lobbed the baall into the gapping unmanned goal, deep into stoppage time, to send the 2,000 plus away fans behind that goal, into raptures! ⬇️
This prompted the Toon fans to cruelly sing: “Martin Dubravka, he’s one of our own!”.
FT 3-1 to us!
Attendance: 21,020 (2,000 plus Toon fans!)
