BAD BLUE BOYS 3 BETHNAL GREEN UNITED 0

Posted '12:30pm bells' Sunday 19th February 2012

Wor second game of the day ("sorry!---THORD!") waz at Federation Park, Dunston for the eagerlee awaited FA Vase tie between Northern League side Dunston UTS and Bethnal Green of east London.

Before the match the Bethnal team came into the bar and they were big lads aa can tell yoo, and we were telt that they were very physical and that 'The Bad Blue Boys' of Dunston were in for a hard game!

The reality was that they didn't look that taall when they actually got onto the pitch and the fact that most of them were wearin' gloves and tights sent a message to the home team that 'the southern softies' tag wasn't far off the mark!

The Bad Blue Boys took the lead in the bitin' wind through Andy Bulford with a fine effort.
A brace of goal from Danny Shaw sealed Bethnal's fate az hiz second came bang on half time.

The second period waz played oot in freezin' conditions and the 'eest Landeners' just wernt 'up for it'!
'The Bad Blue Boys' now face a trip to Peterborough Northern Star in the qwaataa finals with the ultimate 'goal' a trip to Wembley for the final in May!
Attendance: a disappointin' 327 (az far az we could see Bethnal anly had ONE FAN! at the game)

Footnote:
Whitley Bay lost 2-1 at home to West Auckland and Ashington fans were 'short changed' when they lost 3-0 away to Shortwood United!

A DOUBLE HEADER TODAY!---SMB U18s v THE TOON U18s---Then!---DUNSTON v BETHNAL GREEN in 'THE VASE'!

"THE PIES ARE CANNY!---LIKE!"

The repercussions of wor disastrous FA Cup defeat at Brighton three weeks ago are startin' to bite, az it means that the forst team have a blank weekend, due to non participation in the competition.

HOWEVER!----az aalways there iz 'light at the end of the tunnel', for it gives us the opportunity to watch the Toon's U18s in action against their SMB coonterparts @ 'The Academy of "Ssshhhh!---ye na wot!?" in Cleadon this mornin' and 'clock up' another new groond and then we can move on to Dunston Fed @ '3 bells' for their important FA Vase 5th roond cup tie against
Bethnal Green United of 'eeest Landan', home of course to to imfamous Kray Twin gangsters who ruled this part of 'the smoke' back in the 1960's.

Now known az Dunston UTS after their sponsors, 'The Fed' (or 'The Bad Blue Boys', coz they play in aall blue!) are hopin' to get through to the next roond, where a tie away to Peterborough Northern Star or Tiverdale (wherever that iz?) awaits them in the qwaata finals and the 'carrot' of a trip to Wembley for the final in May.
It's six quid to get in for big kids and half price for sprogs and zimmerframites and a crowd of  700 to 1,000 or so is antisipated!---so get there orly, az it's anly a smaall groond!
(Near to the Metro Centre just off the A1 Western Bypass)


Whitley Bay (City Rollers) are aalso in action in The Vase and they have a home tie against West Auckland while 'The Pit Yaakers' of Ashington are away to Shortwood.

Get yerselz alang to one of these games and support one of your local teams!

Wor forthcomin' resorve game against Fulham resorves @ Motspur Park, London, which waz due to be open to the public iz now bein' played behind closed doors on April 3rd @ the same venue!

We had intended to de 'this one', az it iz a 'proper groond' with stands and terracin' and we will now have to put 'the feelers oot' to try and get in past security!

The away game against Liverpool resorve will definateleee have to be 'put on ice', az the day before it's due to be played, we face 'The Arse' in London for a Monday neet forst team fixture and wor 'forced' owerneet stay there, puts 'the scuppers' on us gettin' to Morseyside on time for the '2 bells' start. (this is aalso behind closed doors!)

We 'can but try' to get in NEXT season alang with Everton's trainin' groond, which we didn't make orlier this week! (aalso another lockoot---would yoo believe!)

THE TOFFEE NOSES RESORVES 6 THE TOON RESORVES 3 !

Updated '8:15pm bells Tuesday 14th February 2012

Secret Squirrel informs us that The Toons second string lost 6-3 behind closed door @ Evertons trainin' groond this afternoon.
It was 3-3 at one stage but the home side hit three more before the end to knock us for six for a second successive away game (Man U resorves beat us 6-0 last month!)
The Toons goals were scored by Dan Taylor, Phil Airey and Ryan McGorrigan (just az well we wernt there--like!) (will try and get in next season though!)

SECRET SQUIRREL IZ ALIVE AND KICKIN'!

Posted '5:45am bells' Tuesday 14th February 2012

Today @ 1:00 bells this afternoon 'The Toons' second string take on 'The Toffee Noses' of Everton @ their Finch Farm trainin complex @ Halewood near Liverpool behind 'closed doors'.

Because this fixture could have been caalled off at the last minute because of a frozen pitch and because it iz very difficult to get past security for this game (apparently they divvint even let in close family to watch their kids/bruuvas/etc!) aa decided not to risk it and I am at work instead!

Az it's torned oot aa probably could have got in through a secret contact, but this wasn't certain, so 'work it iz'!

When the game kicks off aa'll be at a bakery not a stones throw from West Brom's groond collectin' a lorry load of bread to bring back to Gatesheed!

Just why clubs like Everton are so secretive and paranoid aboot barrin' fans and not even lettin' in family members coz they are terrified of a bigger club 'pinchin' one of their resorve players, iz beyond me!
Footbaall gets dafter and dafter az the years gan by!
Will just have to try and get in next time we play them!

However!---'The Geordie Times' DOES have a secret reporter at the gane (see photo above!)
Result to follow (when aa get back from West Brom later tooneet!)
