DARBEE COONTY 0 THE TOON 2 *** EFL 2016-2017
Posted 'high noon bells' Sunday 11th September 2016
"RAM RAIDERS!"
NUFC ground oot a 2-0 victory and the anly highlight of the forst half waz an absolutlee sublime <(we reeely DE na aall the posh words!) effort from 'Gooffy' Gouffran in the 20th minute to put The Toon in front at Pride Park in wot waz a dour game, to say the least! (The anly shot on target we can remember in the forst period!)
Darbee reely are a 'ramshackle mob' <(excuse the pun!) and the fact that they had anly scored ONE solitary goal aall season proved to be their downfall!
The 2nd half wasn't much better az we attacked the end in front of 'us' and again, just one shot on goal waz forthcomin' before Yedin sealed the victory in the very last minute of the game with a scrambled effort az the home fans made for the exits like 'droves of sheep' <(sic!)
Before the game we made for some boozers near the train station which had 'welcoming' signs on the windows sayin' 'HOME FANS ONLY'!
But az iz the case with us, we 'sniffed' oot a boozer alang the road caalled 'The Alexandra' which let away fans in!---and so (az yi de!) we stopped there for 'the duration' until it waz time to heed for the game which kicked off at '5:30 bells' (for live telly of course!)
The win takes us up to 'altitude sickness level' in 2nd place with wor FIFTH win on the spin and aall the talk from the sceptics of relegation after wor forst 2 games ended in defeat, iz surely banished forever!
Next up iz a trip to "west Landan" on Tuesday neet when we take on 'The Rag and Bone Men' of Shepherd's Bush' at Loftus Road.
The train will again 'take the strain' az we heed southwards on the East Coast Line yet again!
Toon team: Sels, Anita, Dummett, Colback, Mbemba, Lascelles, Shelvey, Diame (Hayden 88), Richie, Gouffran (Yedin 73), Gayle (Perez 76)
Attendance: 30,405 (3,200 happy Toon fans!) *

We heed for Pride Park on Saturday evenin', where we take on 'The Ramshakle Mob', now managed by formaa Lestaa manager Nigel Pearson.
Pearson waz credited with buildin' 'that side', which of course went on to win the Leegue last May aftaa he'd left!

Pride Park <(its original name!) iz a 'Lego clone' of Stoke and 'The Smoggies' new stadiums, (with different coloured seats!) and iz on the trunk road oot of Darbee, with hardly any boozers nearby (just like Stoke and Boro!)
We are on the '11:40am bells' train (me finks?) from 'The Central' and shud arrive in deepest Derbyshire around aboot the '2:30 bells' mark! ('5:30 bells' ko)
A full Geordie Times match report will follow sometime on Sunday az per usual---watch this space!

BAD BLUE BOYS of DUNSTON 2 SKELMERSDALE UNITED 2 *** FA CUP 1st QUALIFYIN' ROOND
Posted '11:11am bells' Sunday 4th September 2016
"WEMBLEY, WEMBLEY HERE WE COME!"
With a blank weekend coz of the Internationals (see article below!) it waz decided to heed for mee fave non leegue club for their FA Cup tie v Skelmersdale near Scouseland!
Heavy rain kept the crowd doon, but the traffic on their way to the Metro Centre, half a mile from the groond waz heavin' <(it's indoors yoo see!)
The clubhoose waz half empty/full! when I arrived but it soon filled up with approx. 15 Skelmersdale fans/officials amongst the throng to shelter from the rain <(THAT, I may add iz the ANLY reason 'I' went into the clubhoose!!!!)
Toon season ticket holder 'Shaz the Postie' then torned up and we had discussions aboot the 12 players we have signed in 'the window' and those who have departed!
The doonpour had eased off az the teams ran oot and for some reason the game kicked off 5 mins late at '3:05 bells'?
It took 'The Bad Blue Boys' barely 2 mins to open the scorin' when 'Scrappy' (Liam Thear) put the baall into the net at 'The Dunston Rocketless End' <(Explanation: there used to be a tower block behind this end which looked like a space rocket!--now demolished!)
Skelmersdale, who are 2 leegues higher than their Tyneside coonterparts equalised soon after with a unstoppable shot from Strickland at 'The Teahut End' <(AYE!---there's a teahut behind the goal!)
And then controversy in 1st half stoppage time when the ref (and linesman on wor side) said the baall had croosed the line (when it clearly hadn't!) to put the visitors 2-1 up!---aall hell then broke loose at the decision az the ref blew for half time!
A 'mad dash' to the clubhouse then ensued (to beat the queues!) and we looked at some of the photos on the wall az we supped wor half time beverages > (Broon ale!)---Skelmersdale are a famous non leegue club who lifted the old Amateur Cup back in the 70's @ Wembley and one of the photos on the wall shows the 1974 FA Cup final between 'The Toon' and 'The Liverbirds', with Steve Highway beatin' Bobby Moncur to the baall (which he crossed to a certain Kevin Keegan who scored!) Highway aalso played for Skelmersdale!
The visitors went hell for leather in the 2nd period and if it wasn't for Dunston's keeper havin' a blinder the game would have been ower lang before the end.
A penalty waz then awarded to 'The Bad Blue Boys' which waz easily convorted by Malcolm Morien!---A home player waz then sent off az 'we' hung on to claim a replay at their place on Tuesday neet!---The Wembley dream lives on!
PS: I estimated the crowd to be 250 and the official attendance waz!---249!
"WE WAZ THERE!"
