“WHEN WILL WE EVER LEARN!?”
 |
| BEWARE!---WOR LASS'S ROLLIN' PIN!" |
It was the Chinese New Years celebrations the day after this game and wor lass’s mate had booked a table for four at a restaurant in China Toon on the Sunday afternoon, not far from St James’ Park and aa was under strict instructions to get back from Brighton for this—or else! (she threatened me with hor rollin’ pin if aa didn’t!)
This meant an owerneet stay in ‘The Smoke’ (London) waz oot of the question and az we couldn’t get a train back to The Toon on the Saturday neet because of the 5:15 bells kick off time, alternative travel arrangements had to be made by ‘jam jar’!
Four of us travelled doon to this one, namely ‘Tex Taylor’, ‘Norman the Cowboy Plumber’, ‘Fawlty Towers’, plus meesel of course! and we set off at the ungodly hour of ‘six thorty bells’ in ‘The Cowboy Plumbers’ ‘Merc’ for the 370 plus mile jorney to the Sussex countryside via the A1-M11-M25-M23 etc etc!.
The drive doon took us six and a half hours and we parked up at Lewes train station which iz the nearest ‘boozer friendly place’to the ground---which of course was built in the middle of ne where next to a village called Falmer! (which we thought was ‘pub-less!)
After a few ‘liquid refreshments’ in the three ‘drinkin dens’ up the hill from the station, which were aall ‘chocker’ with Toon and Brighton fans, it was time to heed back to the train station to catch the ‘cattle truck’ to Falmer which iz fower miles distant!
A’d asked a Brighton fan how much the retorn train fare to the ground waz and he just looked at me in amazement and said: “We don’t pay—WE NEVER HAVE DONE coz they havvent got enough train staff and they cannot cope with the number of fans who get on, so they don’t bother tryin’ to check tickets!”
He waz true to his word, az there were hundreds waalkin’ doon to the station and the TWO staff and ONE local ‘Dibble’ on duty were owerwhelmed by the volume of supporters crammin’ onto the platform az the train pulled in!
Aa say ‘cattle truck’ az we were aall piled in the carriages like sardines and it was like travellin’ on the ‘London Undergroond’ in the rush hour! (we couldn’t complain though—could we?---az we’d got on for ‘nixxy’!)
There waz aboot a 50-50 mix of both Toon fans and Brighton fans az the train set off on wot we were telt waz a seven minute jorney to the groond (ER!---it took TEN minutes, actually!)
On close up inspection aa waz very impressed with ‘The Seagulls’ new ‘nest’az it wasn’t the ‘tinny shed’ a’d expected for a club of their stature. The rather nice brickwork outside the stadium looked az though it had cost a ‘few bob’ to build.
Once inside, wide padded seats greeted us and it reminded me of ‘The Emirates’ seats at ‘The Arse’, the anly difference bein’ that these were blue instead of red. Toon fan ‘Big Al’ (no!—not THAT one!)telt us they they HAD foond a ‘waaterin hole’ some three hundred yards from the groond, so it waz in fact a ‘ONE boozer groond’!
The arched roofs reminded me of ‘The Reebok’ at (ne where near!) Bolton, but this waz a much better build and there waz plenty of room to increase the capacity from the 21,000 (or so) now, to ower 30,000, az amazingly they have a 6,000 waitin’ list for tickets! ( A Brighton fan who waz next to us with hiz Toon mates, telt us this!)
ANYWAY!---the teams ran oot to a packed crowd and aa couldn’t see an empty seat anywhere, so the “Empty seats!” chant couldn’t be used today by The Toon faithful!
It waz a dour forst half and we just couldn’t get wor act together with ‘Captain Shola’ leadin’ the line up front, with Leon Best just behind.
Brighton were even worse and aa carnt recaall one shot on target from them in the forst period, which not surpizingleee ended goal-less!
The second half wasn’t much better with wor ‘toothless’ strikeforce unable to break doon the home sides defence az we kicked towards wor fans in ‘The Sooth Stand’
Just az though it looked like the match waz peterin’ oot into a goal-less draw and a replay, tragedy stuck with just qwaata of an hour to gan, when the home side scored wot waz to be the anly and winnin’ goal of the game!
The goal came in the 75th minute when Danny Simpson pulled oot of a tackle to let Will Buckley race through to the box and his shot deflected off the unfortunate Mike Williamson and into the net past the stranded Tim Krul in The Toon goal, to knock us oot of the cup at an orly stage yet again!
Oh! How we needed the two ‘Dembas’ to fill wor strikers roles! (‘Ba’ and ‘Cisse’, were still on African Nations Cup duty)
After the match we had to queue for half an hour to catch the ‘free’ train back to Lewes, which iz a jorney the Brighton fans have to endure every home game and one that WE divvint want to de ever again!
(Lets hope they divvint win promotion this season!---Eh?)
We left Lewes at qwaata to nine, but we didn’t get yem til qwaata to four in the mornin’, mainly because ‘Norman the Cowboy Plumber’ missed the M25 torn off!
After gettin' back on the reet track and az we
approached the Dartford Crossin’ the sign telt us it was free to cross after ‘ten bells’ (we got there at 9:55 and had to pay the toll!) To compound things the M11 waz shut az well!, so we had to divert forther aroond the M25, THEN! az we approached the A1 at Dishforth in north Yorkshire, that section of the road was aalso closed and so we ended up gannin’ up the ‘A19’ past Smogland and SMB country before gannin through the Tyne Tunnel and eventually gettin' yem just before four!
(a 725 mile roond trip!)
So this iz yet another ‘Disaster Days Story’ to add to the never endin’ ‘Disaster Days list’!
And YES!---aa didn't get hit with wor lass's rollin' pin---aa just got 'hit' with the bill from the 'Chinese' instead!

THE DEADLY DEMBAS 2 THE VILLA 1
Posted '7:20 pm bells' Sunday 5th February 2012
Two strikes from 'The SSS' (Senegal Super Strikers!) secured the three points @ St James' Park to send The Toon back up to FIFTH place in the premya leeegue.
Demba mark ONE---(of the 'Ba' variety) put us in front in the 10th minute @ The Leazes End with a fine shot as he was faallin' to the groond, after a Ryan Taylor effort fell to him. Taylor was subsequently injured and had to be stretchered off the pitch.
Then Robbie Keane equalised for Villa FIVE minutes into forst half injury time when he side footed the baall into the net after a mix up in The Toon's defence.
Just as though it looked like the game was peterin' oot for a draw in the second period, up stepped debutant and new number nine, Demba mark TWO (of the 'Cisse' variety) (who had replaced the injured Leon Best) and he skillfully chested the baall doon to rifle an unstoppable shot into the top corner of the goal past the despairin' ex Toon keeper Shay Given with 20 minutes to play.
This proved to be the winnin' goal and az predicted by 'The Geordie Times' wor new 'ten million poond man', celebrated wildly in front of the joyous Toon fans @ The Gallowgate End of the groond! (see match preview below!)
Toon team: Krul, Simpson, Coloccini, Williamson, Santon, R Taylor (Obertan 33), Perch, Guthrie, Gutierrez, Best (Cisse 14), Ba (Shola Ameobi 90)
Attendance: 48,569 (less than 2,000 Villians)

TANDOORI CHICKEN ROVERS 0 THE TOON 2
Posted '9:45 am bells' Thorsday 2nd February 2012
"Somebody up there DOES! like us!"
The gods finally looked doon on us at Ewood Park last neet as a wickedly deflected goal in the 12th minute gave us the lead when a Ryan Taylor shot which was gannin miles wide caught the boot of a Blackborn defender and flew into the net leavin' their keeper completely stranded.
At forst the Toon fans stood in silence before burstin' oot into spontanious celebrations at the realisation that we'd actually scored!
(This made up for wor own goal against Brighton last week in similar circumstances, which cost us that game!)
However!--this seemed to 'kick start' 'The Tandoori Chickens' into life and wor goal lived a charmed life as they pressed for the equaliser.
Then just before the break the ref gave them a dubious lookin' penalty after Danny Simpson was judged to have fouled Modeste in the box, but Tim Krul dived to his left and saved the resultin' spot kick.
Just after this Leon Best heeded against his own cross bar and we were very fortunate indeed to gan in 1-0 up at half time.
The second period wasn't much better for us and with Shola and Best oot of sorts up front for us, we just couldn't get gannin as Rovers laid siege to wor goal with wot seemed like a million corners in succession (slight exaggeration!) at the far end from us!
Wor savin' grace was that they just couldn't put the baall in wor net and as we 'clock watched', the minutes seemed to take hours and somehow we were still in front!
The home fans beside us then unfurled a banner made oot of an old bed sheet and spray painted with 'VENKY'S OUT!' on it, and started singin', "You can stick your f*****' chickens up your arsenal!", (or words to that effect!) in appreciation of their Indian chicken takeaway owners attempts to get them relegated!
Late substitutions by 'I Beg your Pardew' saw Gabriel Oberton replace Ryan Taylor and Peter Lovenkrands replace Leon Best and they combined in stoppage time, when a neat 'one-two' between the two players saw Obertan run clear and he gleefully excepted his chance with a fine run to score a great goal in front of the ecstatic 3 to 4,000 Toon fans in 'The Darwen End' to finally clinch the points and send us up to the dizzy heights of FIFTH PLACE! in the premya leegue table.
The Chickens were well and truely fried!
Toon team: Krul, Simpson, Coloccini, Williamson, Santon, Ben Arfa (Perch 46), Guthrie, Ryan Taylor (Obertan 89), Gutierrez, Best (Lovenkrands77), Shola Ameobi
Attendance: 20,817 (3 to 4,000 Toon fans?) (not sure, as we couldn't see how many were in the upper tier!)

TANDOORI CHICKEN ROVERS v THE TOON---TONEET @ '8 BELLS'!
Posted '1:00 pm bells' Wednesday 1st February 2012
Tooneet we travel to Blackborn for the second time this season for a leegue game we cud 'de withoot', if I was honest with yoo!
We lost there 4-3 orlier on this season in a League Cup tie and we will be withoot the 'two Dembas' az they are not due back from their African adventure till tomorrow, so again we must rely on Shola Ameobi and Leon Best up front (we presume?) in wor 'quest' to finish in a Europa Cup spot by the end of the season. (7th position shud de!)
We're leavin' @ 2' bells' this afternoon in 'The Caped Crusaders' 'batmobile' and hope to arrive 'snow free' @ the social club we normally gan te (which iz 'off the beaten track') @ aroond '4:30 bells'!
Rovers have warned Toon fans NOT to bring any banners with the word 'VENKY'S' on it, az they will be refused entry if they de!
(In case yi didn't naa, 'Venkys' are Blackborn's Indian owners who run a chain of tandoori chicken takeaways!) (hence wor name for them!)
Just why any Toon fan wud gan to the trouble of makin' a banner mockin' Blackborns owners iz 'beyond us', az there's ne 'history' between the two clubs to start with!??? ("Er!"---we'll just 'mock them' in 'The Geordie Times' instead!)
Match report to follow sometime tomorrow!

THE TOON RESORVES 5 THE TERRIERS of BEDLINGTON 1
Posted '10:05 am bells' Wednesday 1st February 2012
The Toon second string completely owerwhelmed The Terriers of Bedlington last neet az they were shot doon in flames 5-1 @ 'Blue Flames'!
This Northumberland Senior Cup semi final waz played in "freeeezin" conditions az we ran oot easy winners.
Goals from Paul Dummet in the 10th minute and Patrick Nzuzi in the 36th minute gave us a cushion but 'The Canines' hit back just before the break to half the deficit.
The 'cushion' however waz soon restored orly in the second period when goals from Alex Nicholson, Phil Airey and Dan Taylor sealed the victory in front of the lowest crowd aa can ever remember for a second string game! (not includin' the behind closed doors game we saw at WBA last season!)
The final @ St James' Park <(we presume?) will be an aall 'Toon' affair, az wor opponents will be from the winners of the other semi final between 'Team Northumbria' and 'Newcastle Benfield' (both teams play within two miles of Blue Flames)
