'The Geordie Times' iz leadin' the fightback against the 'Go Sober in October' campaign that iz heavily advertised on the telly, radio, tabloids and mags, to stop people drinkin for the month of October!
These individuals wernt content with 'Dry January' where people didn't drink in that month and now they've started on October!---what next we ask?--- 'No bevvies in February's' or 'Lets go dry in July!'
So we've started a "GO HIGH OCTANE IN OCTOBER!" campaign to help stem the rapid decline of wor traditional pubs before its too late!
Did you naa that 18 pubs a week are shuttin' doon because of people not usin their local boozers, which works oot at staggerin' 936 a year!
And these 'Go sober' do gooders are tryin to make it worse!
Wor '100 away pub crawl challenge' where we are tryin to visit a 100 away pubs durin' this season, iz well under way and we have visited a total of 62 different pubs/clubs since wor forst game of the season at Barrow in Furness in July!

THE SIMON TEMPLAR MOB 0 THE TOON 0 *** PREMYAA LEEGUE 2018-2019

Updated Munday '12:56pm bells'
"LOGISTICAL NIGHTMARE!"
(6 trains, 4 tubes and 2 taxis!)
This woz the jorney from hell if ever there woz one in this 700 miles roond trip to the south coast!
Forst of aall, aa dragged mee lifeless body oot of bed at '4am bells' and jumped into a taxi from wor hoose, to catch the '5:26 bells' train from 'The Central' to King's Cross in London
Because of a train strike on the line between Waterloo in London and Sooothampton we decided cross London by 2 tube trains to catch a train from Paddington to Reading and then onward to wor final destination!
"WET! WET! WET!"
On wor jorney from Paddington to Reading, a lass waalked doon the train with a very hot cup of waataa---and az she waalked past one of the lads, who shall remain nameless, called 'Blondie Alan the Morris Dancer', she spilt it aall ower hiz legs and 'private parts'!
He jumped up in agony shoutin' "F***** HELL!"--F***** HELL!" several times in shock, az she apologised and apologised, az we rolled aboot with laughter, az he looked like he'd p*ssed himself! ð
The lass had wanted the hot waata to put on some porridge she'd bought and improvised by pourin a cup of coffee into the bowl to mix the porridge!!!! (Yi couldn't make it up!)
We were lucky (apart from Blondie!) and everything else went to plan az we arrived at Sooothampton Central some six hours after leavin' the Toon and heeded for the nearest waaterin hole (The Giddy Bridge) for some much needed 'liquid lubrications'!
Others wornt so lucky, az they tried to get there via Waterloo station and got stuck half way az the train woz overloaded to burstin point!
(They eventually arrived 1 hour after us!)
2 more waaterin holes later and it woz time too heed for 'wor punishment' at St Mary's Stadium!---and 'punishment' it woz az we failed to have even one shot on target in the entire game!
Soloman Rondon finally made an appearance after a lang injury, half way through the 2nd half, but even he couldn't hit the target in one of the most borin' games yoo could wish to watch, which not suprizingleee ended in a goalless draw (Sooothampton were shockin' az well!)
The one point gained actually lifted us off the bottom of the table and anly two points from safety, az aall the teams around us lost---some of them heavily!
By wor recognin' 5 teams are in 'the mix' for relegation----'uddersfield, Cardiff, Fulim, Sooothampton and 'US'!
We reversed the train, tube, train and taxi jorneys on the way back, eventually arrivin' yem at '12:30am bells'!
Footnote: Simon Templar woz a character in a cult 1960s TV programme caalled 'The Saint'!, which of course iz Sooothampton's nickname---hence 'The Simon Templar Mob'----get it?
Team line ups and more pix to follow later, when aa get time---like! (Oot on 'the hoy' very soon!)
MUCH LATER!

We leave on the '5:26am bells' train from 'the Central' on Saturday mornin' and will arrive at wor destination 'at god naaz wot time'?
We have sold wor entire allocation of 2,450 ticket which iz actually 700 less than we were given last season!

BAD BLUE BOYS 0 THE HEEDBANGERS 4 *** FA CUP 4th PRELIMANARY ROOND
Posted '1:30pm bells' Munday 22nd October 2018
The Dunston Bad Blue Boys played their biggest game in their history at Federation Park (aka UTS Stadium) when they took on near neighbours The Heedbangers of Gatesheed on Saturday!
Az the game woz scheduled for '12:30 bells' for a live TV stream from the BBC, we had time to gan to that game and heed for St. James' Park across the Tyne 3 miles away for NUFCs '3 bells' kick off v Brightin!
A mammoth crowd of 2,520 (Dunston's average gate iz 250!) torned oot and were 3 deep around the pitch az the game kicked off!
Az 'I'd been in the clubhouse beforehand, mee usual standin place when aa come here woz taken and aa woz forced to watch the match through a crowd of heeds from the back!
The crowd woz a mixture of Dunston and Gatesheed fans with ne segregation, mainly to the fact that many Gatesheed fans live in Dunston anyway!
The occasion torned oot to be too much for the home side and the vistors took the lead at 'The Tea Hut End' through Gregg Olley with a shot that somehow trickled into the net!
It woz soon 2-0 to Gatesheed when Stephen Rigg fired home and 3-0 bang on half time through Scott Bowden az The National Leegue side ran riot against their Northern Leegue
opposition! (4 leegues below)
The game woz been shown on the big screen in the clubhoose and aa watched some of the 2nd half there with a bottle of broon for company before heedin back to mee standin position at the back
It woz 4-0 to Gatesheed through Luke Molineux in the 78th minute and it woz 'game ower' az far az Dunston were concerned!
It woz then onward to SJP and we made the kick off there with 3 mins to spare!

THE TOON 0 BRIGHTIN 1 *** PREMYAA LEEGUE 2018-2019
Posted '11:00am bells' Sunday 21st October 2018
"NO HOPE!---JUST HOPELESSNESS!"
This woz a 'bad day at the office' for certain az The Geordie Times did a 'double heeder', takin in Dunston's game v Gatesheed in the FA Cup and then a 'mad dash to St James' for wor game v Brightin ----more on that FA Cup game later, but forst we must concentrate on yet anothaa home defeat for NUFC!
We just made the kick off az the mini bus we had booked from Dunston, which woz supposed to torn up at '2:25 bells', didn't torn up til 10 mins later and then had to torn around in heavy traffic from people leavin the game---(AND the nearby Metro Centre!) and we eventually left with just 20 mins to kick off time!
Luckily the Redheugh Bridge across the Tyne woz clear of traffic and we were dropped off ootside the groond with less than 10 mins to spare!
A mad scramble oot the mini bus then followed and mee plan woz to get the lift up to mee seat on 'level 7' of The Milburn Stand to save time, but there woz a queue, so I 'legged it' up the 200 stairs to the top and took mee seat, completlee oot of breath (I'm not a 'spring chicken' any more!), with just 3 mins to kick off ! (not bad considerin' we left Dunston so late!)
Unfortunately, it woz 'the same old story' az we dominated the forst half but came off 2nd best az wor visitors took the lead on the half hour mark with a deflected goal!
The second half 'highlight' woz a Jonjo Shelvey free kick which woz brilliantly palmed away by the Brightin keeper, but we just couldn't get the goal that we desorved and for the FIFTH time in a row we lost at home (SIX if yoo include wor pre season friendly v Jawman side, Ausburg)
Joselu who came on az a sub had a shot that nearly hit the corner flag---this just aboot sums up wor plight!
With Cardiff's forst win of the season filterin' through we now sit in rock bottom place with ne wins and just 2 points from 27 in 9 Premyaa Leegue games!
'The Fat Controller' woz there again to witness anothaa defeat and even he must now realise that unless we spend a fortune in the January transfor window, then we are certainly doomed to a thord spell in the Championship under hiz disastrous 11 years tenure!
(Even then it might be tooo late!)
Pleeeeze sell up Mike and give us wor great club back--- "PLEEEZE!"
Toon team: Dubravka, Yedlin, Lascelles, Fernandez, Dummett, Ritchie, Diame, Shelvey, Kenedy, Perez, Muto (Joselu 73)
Attendance: 50,329 (1,600 happy Brightin fans who saw their team win away for the forst time in nearly a year!)

Posted '2:00pm bells' Thorsday 18th October 2018
Havin' not won a competitive game since the end of last season, NUFC gan into the weekend game in desperate need of 3 points!
3 of wor next 4 games are at home and we reeely must get sommik from them or else we will be in deep deep trouble! (or shud that be deeper trouble!)
Rumours that yet anothaa very rich consortium iz puttin' in a bid for the club simply divvint wash anymore and it looks likely that we will be stuck with 'The Fat Controller' for a considerable time more!
Soloman Rondon iz STILL not fit to play and so a forward line of eethaa Joselu and Perez OR Muto and Perez looks to be the options Rafa haz for the game!
Kenedy looks set to start but Ciaron Clark looks doubtful
Ironically tickets are still on sale for this match, while "ower the waataa" in Dunston, 3 miles away, their game v Gatesheed in the FA Cup iz a complete selloot, with every one of the 2,500 tickets sold! (the groonds capacity)
The Geordie Times and many Toon fans will be at that game which kicks off at '12:30 bells' and then rush ower The Redheugh Bridge for wor '3 bells' kick off @ SJP! (a 10 minutes drive away)
A match report on both games will appear here sometime on Sunday!
Footnote: Brightin's groond iz in a place caalled 'Falmer' and iz "Ne where near Brightin"---hence wor name for them!
