BAD BLUE BOYS 3 PRESCOT CABLES 2 *** NORTHERN PREMYAA LEEGUE, NORTH WEST DIVISION

 Posted '11:29am bells' Sunday 11th October 2020

A DUNSTON CORNER AT THE 'TEA HUT END'!

"A THREE-TWO THRILLER!"

Anothaa trip to Dunston's clubhoose, (possibly the last time for a while) where old friends were met, and we made the most off the last weekend before pubs are shut again next week by Boris!

After shovelling doon a few 'liquid lubrications' it woz time to heed for wor usual standing place opposite the 18 yard box!

The sequence of events on the pitch were az follows:

40th minute: Jack Elliott who had came on az sub ran doon the right to find Liam Thear who finished nicely at The Dunston Rocketless End (there used to be a tower block I  the distance which looked like a space rocket--long since demolished!)

HT 1-0 to The Bad Blue Boys!

James Edgar equalised for The Cables, which brought huge cheers from the 10 or so yellow clad diehards who had made the journey to the north east from Morseyside!

Then in the 74th minute the visitors took the lead through Matty Hamilton, and it looked likely that they would score more az they were on the front foot by this time!

But Dunston were having non of it an an equaliser followed straight after that goal when Michael Hall fired home from a corner at The Tea Hut End!

And then the icing on the cake when Elliott hit a pile driver past Allen in the Prescot goal with just 5mins left on the clock!

This proved to be the winner in this see saw game and the visitors from Liverpoool were unlucky not to get anything from the game!

FT 3-2 to The Bad Blue Boys who gan to first place I  the table!

Official attendance 198 (crowd limit 200!)

After the match we heeded to The Tudor Rose pub alang the road from the groond, where the bar staff were in a spooky mood!

WHITE SPIRITS ON SPECIAL OFFER!

"ARISE SIR BRENDAN!"

BRENDAN SALUTES TOON FANS AFTER HIZ WIN AT WEMBLEY

News that life long Toon fan Brendan Foster haz been given a knighthood in the Queen's borthday honours list haz reached The Geordie Times!

In 1974 Brendan won a race aroond the old Wembley track before the FA Cup final between NUFC and The Liverbirds!

He wore a black n white striped vest for the occasion!

I woz there, and this is the one and anly time I have seen him race!  Unfortunately, that's the anly thing in black n white stripes that won that day, as Liverpoool won 3-0 in the match that followed!

And then of course Brendan woz the founder of The Great North Run, the worlds biggest half marathon!

Beleeeve it or not, 'little old me' did the 3rd Great North Run in 1983--I did it in 2hrs 35mins!

SIR BRENDAN YESTERDAY, NEAR THE TYNE BRIDGE

Congratulations Sir Brendan from 'us' and aall NUFC fans!

PS: We are gettin wor Saturday fix' once again at Dunston, where The Bad Blue Boys are takin on Prescott Cables from Liverpoool in The North West Division of The Northern Premyaa Leegue at '3:00 bells' this afternooon! (Nee Toon games this week, due to Internationals)

Match report on that game sometime tomorrow!

THAT'S A BIT 'RICH', DISASTERS MASTERS!-----SO NOW WE MUST PAY £14.95 EXTRA TO WATCH GAMES WE ARE AALREADY PAYIN' FOR???

 Posted '6:00pm bells' Friday 9th October 2020

Richard Disasters, er! sorry, 'Masters', haz said that the government shud treat fans fairly and let us back into top flight groonds!

It's just a pity that he DIDN'T treat NUFC fans the same way when hiz delayin' tactics in the PIF takeower saga infuriated  fans and wor beloved? owner, 'The Fat Controller'---az well az the Saudis of course!

We now hear that there are plans to charge fans EXTRA to watch games on the telly----nee doubt approved by 'Disasters' and The Premyaa Leegue hierarchy!

And divvint forget, fans like 'little old me' are on the 10 year deal and NUFC are STILL takin' direct debits from me (and many othaa fans) for THIS season, when we aall naa that we are very unlikely to be let back in before March next year at the soonest!

Thats a disgrace and I for one will NOT under ANY circumstances pay extra to watch on Sky, BT or any othaa outlet!

And wor message to aall Toon fans iz: "DIVVINT PAY IT!"--

Instead I will (alledgedly!) tune in to a 'dodgy website channel'----and there are plenty of those! 

Az pubs are aalmost certainly to be closed again next week, this iz the anly way to watch withoot payin 'through the nose'!

Disasters Masters (his new name!) iz a hypocrite of the highest order, and will dee ANYTHING to fill the black hole left because of empty stadiums!

Masters➡️🥶🔫⬅️This is a hair dryer---(Couldn't find a gun in emojis) (So a hair dryer will have to do!--so he will be fried alive instead!)

They had a way oot of course, they could have approved the takeower---AND the Saudis offered them a 'kings ransom' TV deal az well, which woz rejected by the Premyaa Leegue! (2 'disasters' of the highest order!)

The whole thing will unravel soon, which sorves them reet, if yoo ask us!

Az the old sayin ganz: 

"WOT GANZ AROOND, COMES AROOND!" 

Updated '11:00am bells' Saturday

We have just hord that 19 oot of the 20 Premyaa Leegue clubs voted in favour of the £14.95 charge!

Anly 'The Basil Brush Brigade' of Lestaa voted against it!

Shame on 'The Fat Controller' and the othaa 18 owners!

Well done the Lestaa owners, the anly ones who care aboot their fans!

"TOMMY ROBSON!--TOMMY!--TOMMY!--ROBSON!" RIP

TOMMY ROBSON POSES IN FRONT OF THE OLD LEAZES END!

We are sad to report that former Toon winger Tommy Robson haz passed away!---he woz 76 years old

Tommy woz one of my school boy heroes az I stood in the old Leazes End in the 1960s

He had hiz own song az well, like most players had in them days!

"Tommy Robson!---Tommy!---Tommy!--Robson!", The Leazes End would belt oot az he scored a goal!

If my memory sorves me correctly, he played in the number 11 shirt and scored quite a few goal and woz 2nd anly to the great Wyn Davies in the scorin charts in 1967 or 1968? (cannit remember exactly!)

RIP TOMMY!

Having seen The Toon on the end of several thrashings in recent years off Moan U and The Liverbirds, we couldn't help but smile and laff and watch in disbelief when the so caalled big 2 conceded a total of 13 goals in one afternooon!

THE PIKES 0 THE BAD BLUE BOYS 1 *** NORTHERN PREMYAA LEEGUE, NORTH WEST DIVISION (Played Saturday)

 Posted '11:00am bells' Munday 5th October 2020 (Played Saturday)

"BAD BLUE BOYS REEL IN THE PIKES!"

We needed a new groond 'fix' as we were unable to gan to Newport to watch The Toon last Wedinzday and so went on a 'magical mystery groond tour' and heeded for east Yorkshire to watch Pickering play Dunston on a previously unvisited groond!

It took nearly 2 hours  for me and Tex Taylor to get there in mee 'canny tranny' via the A19 and A170 up Sutton bank, where a 1 in 4 hill takes yoo ower the steep incline!

We arrived aroond aboot '1:00pm bells' and the groond woz deserted!

A door woz open next to the clubhoose so 'in we went', where a gadgy with a safety officer coat on 'greeted us'!, "You should have went through the turnstiles!", he snapped! (Welcome to Pickering!)

Tex replied, "But we've never been here before and dont know where the turnstiles are?"   He pointed us in the reet direction and so we went doon and paid 'wor bit' before retornin' to the clubhoose!

 The prized match ticket      which actually cost £6!

Then the Dunston players and commitee men torned up az the rain teemed doon ootside!

Soon it woz time to heed for the cover behind the goal az the rain got heavier!

The player were gettin a good soakin az the game started and 'The Bad Blue Boys' (who were playin in aall grey coz Pickerin play in aall blue!) were on the front foot from the start az they attacked the goal the dozen or so Dunston faithful were situated!

Several chances went 'abeggin' before Dunston finally made the breakthrough!  Number 9 Mark Fitzpatrick latched on to a through baall near the six yard box and hit a sweet shot past the Pickering keeper at a tight angle just before the break!

HT: The Pikes 0  The Bad Blue Boys in Grey 1!

In the 2nd period Dunston again went for the 2nd goal to finish the game off, but it never came az The Pikes 'fished' (sic!) for an equaliser!

This nearly came at the death when a mad scramble in the Dunston penalty area ended with Liam Connell finally collectin the baall, much to the relief of the 'Bad Blue Boys' fans!

Thats the way it stayed and the victory moved Dunston up to 2nd place in the table, with anly goal difference between them and Ramsbottom in frst place!

Attendance 108 plus a gadgy leaning on a roof at the far end to watch the match for free!

"FIDDLER ON THE ROOF!"

A ride back yem via the North York Moors this time--and after dumpin mee 'canny tranny' at wor hoose, we caught the bus to The Toon to watch The Toon's home game v Bornley in Rosies Bar near SJP!

A 3-1 win put the icin' on the cake, to complete a porfect day! ('Tellyhoppers' match report on that game below!)

THE TOON 3 THE BORNLEY HILLBILLIES 1 *** PREMYAA LEEGUE 2020-2021

 Posted '11:19am bells' Sunday 4th October 2020

SAINT-MAXIMIN'S OPENER!

"OH WHEN THE SAINT GOES MARCHIN IN !"

The consensus<(we naa aall the big words!) of opinion before the game woz that we were in for anothaa dour encoontaa az we watched on from Rosies Bar which iz within hocklin distance of St. James' Park!

Bornley are a kick and hope side and so are NUFC, so a goal-less draw woz my prediction, at least! (how wrang I woz!)

Saint-Maximin woz in the startin line up after injury, and wot a difference he made! Within 14 minutes he woz on the score sheet with a mazy jinkin run from near the halfway line into the box, where he twisted and turned and placed hiz shot beyond Nick Pope in the Bornley goal to put us 1-0 up at The Leazes End!

1st GOAL!!!

THE SAINT 1 THE POPE 0!

We held on til half time az the heavy rain lashed doon (funnily enough it woz 'chuckin it doon' ootside Rosies az well!)

A RAIN SOAKED BALCONY IN ROSIES BEER GARDEN, WITH THE 'FLOOD'LIGHTS OF SJP IN THE DISTANCE!

Bornley came oot in the 2nd half on the front foot and piled pressure on The Toon goal and eventually it paid off when, in the 61st minute

Westwood hit a shot across the goal from a corner, to level things!

Az it looked then, wor visitors would gan on to win the game---BUT Saint-Maximin had othaa ideas and just 4 minutes later we were back in front again when an excellent cross from 'The Saint' foond Callum Wilson on the far post and he put the baall past Pope to restore wor lead---This brought wild reaction from the 20 or so Toon fans upstairs in Rosies!

CALLUM WILSON'S 1st GOAL!!!

Aboot 10 minutes later Ryan Frazer woz fouled in the box by Pope and the ref pointed straight to the spot!---Up stepped Callum Wilson to calmly place the baall in the centre of the goal az Pope dived to hiz right! (This woz Wilson's 4th goal in 4 games---well worth the £20 million fee!)

WILSON'S PENALTY TO SECURE THE POINTS!!!

There woz nee way back from 'The Hillbillies' of the Lancashire hills and we collected the valuable 3 points to move us up to SIXTH place in the table (for the time bein' at least!)

Man of the match? 'THE SAINT' of course!

*Official attendance upstairs in Rosies Bar: 20 very happy Toon fans!!!

THE TOON V THE BORNLEY HILLBILLIES *** TOOONEET!

 Posted '9:01am bells' Saturday 3rd October 2020

"THE MAGICAL MYSTERY GROONDS TOUR!"

'The Geordie Times' intends to gan to a new non leegue groond at '3:00 bells' this afternooon, before heedin for Rosies Bar to watch wor home game v Bornley 200 yards away from SJP at '8:00 bells'!

Word of warnin'!  The odds of the game finishin' in a goal-less draw are 7/1! 😴 Clark, Dummett and Matty Longstaff are still oot, but Saint-Maximin iz said to make a retorn after injury! (hopefully!)

Anyway! The new 'mystery' groond in question izn't too far away and az we cannit watch 'The Toon' on ANY new groonds for the foreseeable future, 'The NUFC mad-sad groundhoppers' will be heedin' south to get wor 'fix'

Aall will be revealed on Sunday!

A 'mad-sad tellyhoppers' match reports from NUFCs game will appear here come Sunday neet az well!
