“A LIFE SENTENCE WITHOUT PAROLE!”
This iz a disastrous time for NUFC and Steady Eddie in particular!
Another dreadful performance which didn’t gan doon well with the crowd!
The Toon started off in 2nd gear and we somehow took the lead in the 24th minute when Sven Botman heeded in a The Gallowgate End to put us 1-0 up!
12 minutes later it woz aall square when Janeit heeded past The Pope in wor goal at The Leazes End
Then in stoppage time Jacob Murphy handled near the goal line and a penalty woz awarded to The 🐝 Beez!
Thiago took it and easily beat Pope to put them 2-1 up at the break!— Booing woz heard az the players went off! (Not something we would ever do at The Geordie Times, but fan frustration iz reaching boiling point!)
The 2nd period wozzint much better, with things gannin from bad to worse, but we got a lifeline in the 79th minute when a Brentfaad defender handled in the box —and after a 6 minutes delay lookin a the moniter, the spot kick woz awarded!
Bruno took it to send their keeper the wrang way to bring the score back to 2-2!
The crowd roared for a winner, but it woz wor visitors who put the game to bed, when in the 85th minute, Ouattra hit a shot across the box and though Pope’s legs to retake the lead!— Some fans had seen enough and heeded for the exits!
Despite 10 minutes of stoppage time we couldn’t find the net at the other end again and az the ref blew the final whistle, more booos could be heard from those who had stayed til the bitter end!
With 4 away games in quick succession, it feels like a life sentence without parole for those of us who gan to every game!
Wor 4th defeat in a row and 12 goals conceded and with just 3 goals scored in domestic competitions in the last 2 and a half weeks!
We are now stuck in 12th place, 10 points behind a Champions Leegue position and 10 points above the relegation zone!
And if we are not careful, we could easily get sucked in to the abyss with tough away games on the horizon!
Attendance: 52,032 ( 1,300 Beez)
