There waz a very healthy crowd of ower 1,000 who packed into Federation Park and to be fair, 'West' were the better of the two sides, havin' rattled the crossbar in the forst period of the game!

'THE HAND OF S*D'!
AN EXCITED DUNSTON FAN SHOWS HIZ HAND(S)
JUST AZ I'M ABOOT TO TAKE AN ACTION PHOTO!

'The Bad Blue Boys' never reeely 'got oot of the blocks' in a lack lustre performance and 'West' won it with a deflected shot from ex Toon resorve player Dennis Knight in the 56th minute, to send the former World Cup winners into the semi finals!


ACTION @ 'THE TEA-HUT END'!

"A MONSTER IN WOR MIDST!"

"COME AND HAVE 'A GO' IF YOU THINK YOU'RE HARD ENOUGH!"

For gods sake!---Yi would have thought that Alan Pardew had mordered somebody @ '4:25pm bells' in Hull on Saturday!?---such iz the 'ower the top condemnation' of hiz 'touchin' of the heeds' with THAT ex mackem player!

The one thing that it did de, waz to knock the Leegue Cup final off the back pages of the Sunday papers!---very much to the annoyance of the SMBs!

Even the Monday papers have got in on the act by claimin' he iz some kind of a monster that shud be 'hung, drawn and quartered'! !---"Boil him in oil!---Send him to guillotine!---Keel haul him under the nearest ship on the Tyne!---Burn him at the stake!---Skin him alive!----Stretch him on the rack!---Tie him to the electric chair!"---Hang him from the rafters at Gallowgate! (like they used to de!)----"Aaltogether now!"----
"There's only one Alan Pardew!---One Alan Pardew!
Walkin' along!---He sticks the 'NUT' ON!
Walkin' in a Pardew wonderland!"

"THERE'S ANLY ONE CHARLIE CHAPLIN!"

Posted '8:38pm bells' Sunday 2nd March 2014

THE BIG SCREEN IN 'THE SOHO BAR' @ '2:30 PM BELLS' TODAY!

Followin' wor fantastic 4-1 victory @ Hull yesterday, wor attention torned to the most important event on television today!---namely! 'The Charlie Chaplin' silent film that waz bein' shown in 'The Soho Bar', which iz just alang the road from St James' Park on the corner of Leazes Park Road!

There waz a certain futbaall match in London at Wembley at the same time az this, which kicked off @ '2 bells', but 'Charlie' took priority az far az we were concerned!
Norman the Cowboy Plumber' and hiz bruvva 'Faulty Towers' were there az well, when we hord that there waz some 'nightmare news' from Wembley, that a certain team from 12 miles away from us had took the lead against 'The Blue Moonies of Manchester'!

Then az aa waalked past 'The 3 Bulls' sometime later a huge roar came from the bar and aa just knew that 'City' had eetha equalised or had gone in front!

A text message at 'fower bells' conformed that indeed 'The Blue Moonies' had scored and had lifted the Leegue Cup by eventually winnin' 3-1 and that the SMBs would come back trophy-less to mackemland!

A great weekend for aall of us in this part of the country!---get the broon ale on ice oot!

BROKEN NOSE BRUCE'S TIGER LILLYS 1 THE TOON 4 *** PREMYAA LEEGUE *** 2013-2014

Updated '10:55am bells' Sunday 2nd March 2014

"BURN HIM ALIVE AT THE STAKE!"

SAVAGE JUSTICE FOR PARDEW!

There were no 'ifs' or 'butts' aboot this game az 'The Toon' were the better side throughout, 'butt' the main taalkin' point waz off the pitch when wor manager heed butted ex mackem player David Meyler who had unceremoniously pushed past Pardew to retrieve the baall!
Pardew didn't take to kindly to this and gave the ex mackem a 'Rab C. Nesbitt style' 'Glasgow kiss' for hiz 'disrespect', which resulted in a melee in the dugout area where Pardew waz sent to the stands by the ref! (We didn't see the incident from wor seats and didn't naa wot aall the fuss waz aboot?) <(til later!)

THE TOON (IN BRAZIL YELLOW) ATTACK THE FAR GOAL
DURIN' THE 1st HALF
(VIEW FROM ROW 'S' SEAT '138' IN THE NORTH STAND)

The sequence of events were az follows: (on the pitch!)

1st half:
9th minute: Tim Krul makes a Magnificent double save from Bruce and Jelavic to deny the 'Tiger Lillys'

10th minute: The Toon make the 1st breakthrough when the baall iz punted upfield from Krul's wonder saves and finds Debuchy on the right. He crosses to 'The Sissoko Kid' who blasts the baall into the net from 16 yards oot!

42nd minute: Loic Remy doubles wor lead when a horrendous back pass by Hull's Figueroa finds wor top goal scorer and he haz the simple task of side steppin' their keeper to put the baall into the empty net!

2nd half:
46th minute: Hull half wor lead just after the restart when Tim Krul misjudges the flight of the baall and it finds the heed of Davies who heeds home!

55th minute: Wor 2 goal margin iz restored, when, after a great Gouffran shot, the baall finds 'The Sissoko Kid' and he gleefully excepts hiz chance to 'tap in' in front of the Toon faithful!


'THE SISSOKO KID' CELEBRATES HIS 2nd GOAL
IN FRONT OF THE TOON FANS!


72nd minute: It aall gans to Pardews heed when he 'sticks a one' on ex mackem Meyler after the Hull man shoves wor manager oot of the way to get the baall!---aall hell then breaks oot az 'Pards' iz sent off and Meyler iz booked! <(he shud have went 'the distance' az well!)

93rd minute:
Anita sows the game up with a simple chance at the far post from a Dummett cross to score hiz 1st ever Premyaa goal for The Toon!

On the way yem, that innocuous 'Radio 5s'  'p*ss brain' known az Robbie Savage iz 'judge and jury' on Pardew and gans on and on (and on!) aboot how wor manager shud by (very!) severely punished for hiz 'disgraceful'? heed butt!--- ("Burn him at the stake, perhaps, Robbie"???) <(there waz absolutleee NE MENTION, by the way, of wor magnificent 4-1 win!?)

*(PS: we've since seen the replay on the telly---"Howway maan!---it wasn't THAT BAD!?")
To put it into context: Last week there waz an ice hockey game on the telly where one player started lacing into anothaa with hiz hockey stick and fists, hittin' him several times in the process az hiz opponent collapsed poleaxed onto the ice!
And hiz 'punishment'?---TEN MINUTES in the sin bin! 

Toon team: Krul, Debuchy, Williamson, Yanga, Dummett, Anita, Tiote, Sissoko, Gouffran, Remy, De Jong (Gosling 89)

Attendance: 24,903 (2,500 'heedbangin' Toon fans!)

'GeordieTimes' STATSFACTS: This waz wor forst ever competitive victory @ 'The KC'----
This waz wor 100th away win in 'The Premyaa'!

BROKEN NOSE BRUCE'S TIGER LILLYS v THE TOON *** THIS AFTERNOON!

Updated '8:30am bells' Saturday 1st March 2014

Followin' last Sunday's dramatic injury time winner @ 'The Living Breathing Animal Stadium' <(aka St James' Park!), we now must travel past The Humber bridge to take on the manager aall Toon fans 'love to hate' namely, 'Broken Nose Bruce' and hiz Hull Tigers @ The KC Stadium <(or whatever it's caalled now?)

Hull of course have enraged their fans by tryin' to change their name from 'City' to 'Tigers'---anothaa case of:  "It's MY trainset---and aa'll de wot aa want!" <(and divvint WE naa it!)

Aall taalk in 'The 'Ronny Gill' this week iz aboot the fact that we can still qualify for 'the dreaded' 'Europa Leegue' next season, shud we manage to finish sixth in the table!
A complicated combination of results could even meeen that we could qualify by finishin' SEVENTH! <(but divvint haad yi breath!)

However!---'Brucey's Boys' are on a run themsels and are fresh from an FA Cup 5th roond win ower Brighton and a 4-0 away win at Cardiff---so it won't be an easy ride @ 'The KC' come '3 bells' this afternoon!

Not suprizingleee, we have sold wor entire allocation of 2,500 tickets for the game (we tried to get more but Hull said: "NO!")  

Team news: Ben Arfa and Santon are oot injured---but fear not!---coz Sammy Ameobi and 'Marveaux the Magician'? are both available for selection! <("Wow!")
('Fab' Coloccini will aalso be missin' due to a family bereavement back in Argentina) 

'The Toon' are lookin' for their forst ever win @ 'The KC' in a competitive game and if we de it, it will be wor 100th success on the road since we joined 'The Premyaa'!

For the record, fower of us are settin' off in 'The Caped Crusader's' 'Batmobile' in half an hours time---the othaa three bein': 'little ol' me'!, <('The Mad-Sad Groundhopper'), 'The Mad Professor' and 'Peddlin' Pensioner Paul'!  <("Er!"--he 'peddles' a push bike!---NOT contraband!)

A full 'Geordie Times' match report will of course appear here sometime 2moro!
