NEWCASIL BLUE STAR 1. BLYYYTH TOON 1 (BLYYYTH WON 4-2 ON PENALTIES) *** NORTHERN LEEGUE DIVISION ONE PLAY OFF FINAL

 Posted 'high noon bells' Wedinzday 7th May 2025

Forst of aall, apologeez for the very late postin’ of this game, played last Friday neet, but this IZ 'The Geordie Times', wot did yoo expect!?

"JESUS THE 'SAVE'IER!" 

We met up at Rosie’s Bar near SJP (Me and Tex Taylor) and caught the 39 bus to Scotswood in the far west end of The Toon!---It took nearly half an hour in heavy traffic to get there!---A 3 mile jorney!

THE HUGE DENTON BOOZER 

We then met up with a lad caalled 'Gippa' in ‘The Denton’ boozer, az he had mee match ticket on hiz 'telling bone'➡️📱 

The huge estate bar woz rammed with locals and loads of Blue Star fans, gannin to the match!---

After a bit of ‘tonsil ticklin’➡️🍺🍺🍺 we heeded for Blue Star’s groond which iz a 10 minute walk away!

We heeded for ‘The Bobby Robson Lounge’ next to the groond, BUT!!! they’d stopped sorvin booze by the time we got there, for some unknown reason???, which woz ridiculous, az a record crowd woz expected!

😠"NEE BEER HERE!"⬆️⬇️😮

We had nee choice but to gan into the groond and queue for 15 minutes to get some 'liquid lubrications' in the beer tent!

Just before the game kicked off we had stood wor drinks on a smaall table with grass on it and a then a gadgie came and told us he needed the table to put the match baall on and so we had to take the booze off! (bizzare!)

The game kicked off and it woz obvious that there woz a record crowd of aroond aboot 2,000 crammed into the smaall groond and straight away Blue Star went on the attack!

They had several chances to take the lead az they attacked the right hand goal from where we were standin!

On the far side the young 'Blue Star Ultras' were havin a great time jumpin up n doon in the smaall stand (like they used to dee in the old Leazes End in the 1960s and 70s) They were bangin' a drum az well and there woz a Elswick/Benwell flag draped ower the fence! (Both Elswick and Benwell are districts in the west end of The Toon near Scotswood, where Blue Star are based)

Aa couldn't help 'finkin' that these fans would love to come to SJP, but are unlikely to do so, with the current lockoots at NUFC----The lost generation!

Of course this iz great news for the local non leegue clubs, to have their gates boosted because the youngins (and oldies alike!) are eethaa locked oot or priced oot of attendin Toon games!---So sad in that respect! 

Anyway!---the teams went in 0-0 at the half time interval!---Thoughts of gannin for a swift alcoholic beverage durin the break were scuppered az the queue woz massive and we would have missed part of the 2nd half if we had waited to get sorved!

The breakthrough finally came in the 55th minute when ex Toon youth player Michael Ndewini put Blue Star aheed with a fine strike from just ootside the box, to send the majority of the huge crowd into meltdoon!

Just when we thought that Blue Star would win it, and in the dyin' minutes, a Blyyyth Toon player woz fouled on the edge of the penalty area and the ref pointed to the spot----This woz in the 89th minute!

Up stepped Dan Wilson to take it and he put the baall past the 'Star keeper' to level the scores, to cheers from the 200 or so Blyyyth faithful who had travelled the 15 miles doon the A1!

We thought the game would gan to extra time, but when the players lined up on the halfway we realised that it woz gannin straight to a penalty shootout!

It didn't end well for 'Star' az Ndewini missed their 2nd penalty, which woz saved by Jesus, beleeeve it or not? in the Blyyyth goal (De Jesus actually!)  and Blyyyth went on to win the shootout 4-2 to win promotion to The Northern Premyaa Leegue East Division, where amazingly they will play their arch rivals and ‘big brother’, Blyyyth Spartans next season, who were relegated from The Northern Premyaa Leegue, Premyaa Division!

The attendance woz given az 2,151 and woz indeed the biggest in Newcasil Blue Star’s history!

THE 'END GAME' ---THE BLUE STAR ULTRAS SET OFF BLUE FLARES AFTER THE PENALTY SHOOT-OUT!

This woz NOT a good time for Tyneside based non Leegue clubs ower the weekend, az both Dunston (crowd 1,348--1,000 above their average!) and Gatesheed (crowd 4,108--3,000 above their average!), lost oot on promotion to their respective higher Leegues az well!

MATCH TICKET

And remember 'The Geordie Times' moto!

NEE WHERE NEAR BRIGHTIN 1. THE TOON 1 *** PREMYAA LEEGUE 2024-2025

 Posted ‘high noon 🛎️ bells’ on the train back, Munday 5th May 2025

SCHAR PREPARES TO TAKE THE FREE KICK THAT RESULTED IN A PENALTY FOR HAND BAALL! (TOON IN CLARET AND BLUE HOOPS)
 

“THE TALE OF THREE  PENALTIES!”

This weekend woz dominated by penalties for teams from Tyneside!

On Friday Newcasil Blue Star lost a play off penalty shootout to Blyth Toon, in The Northern Leegue, then on Saturday on the other side of the Tyne, Dunston lost a play off penalty shootout in the Nothern Premyaa Leegue against Stocksbridge and on Sunday The Toon had 3 penalties awarded by the ref, but 2 were ruled oot by VAR!

ANYWAY! to the match!

The game started well for The Toon az we attacked the far goal from the away end!

We were well on top and missed several chances, but a rare attack from Brightin foond ex Toon player Minteh on the edge of the box and he smashed a kick into the far corner of wor net, with a deflection of Dan Burn, wrang footin The Pope in the Toon goal to put them 1-0 up in the 28th minute!

He then antagonised the away end with finger and shirt kissin gestures, in hiz goal celebrations! Completely oot of order az the Toon fans boooed him wildly! HT 1-0 to them!

The 2nd half woz dominated by penalty incidents!

Firstly sub Anthony Gordon woz fouled near the edge of the box and the ref Pawson pointed straight to the spot! HOWEVER! VAR intervened and a free kick replaced the penalty award!—And nothing came of that!

Then Joe Willock fell dramatically in the box and again the ref pointed to the spot!—Again VAR intervened and told the ref to gan to the monitor! After lookin for 5 minutes he owertorns the decision again and booked Willock for divin’!

2 penalties doon, 1 to gan!

Az the clock ticked doon it looked az though we would lose the game!— But we got a free kick into the edge of the box in the 86th minute and ‘Fab’ Schar took it! He hit a sweet shot and a Brightin player moved hiz arm and connected with the baall inside the box!

Yet again the ref pointed to the spot, but ‘this time’ it woz a clear penalty!

Alexander the Great (Isak) took it and we had visions of their goalie saving’ it after wot happened to Blue Star and Dunston!

We shouldn’t have worried though az he sent their goalie the wrang way and planted it to the right az their goalie dived left!

ISAK PREPARES TO TAKE THE PENALTY!

1-1 in the 89th minute!

We still had time to win it az 9minutes stoppage time woz added for the 3 penalty decisions wait, but we just couldn’t find the winner, az sub Callum Wilson had a great shot tipped ower the bar by Verbruggen in the Brightin goal!—That precious point could make aall the difference!

Later on, Chelseee beat Livapoool 3-1 to move level with us in the table!

But vitally with both clubs on the same goal difference, NUFC have scored 4 more goals!

And guess wot???- We play them next Sunday at SJP—a game we MUST get a draw at least, az there will be just 2 games left in the Champions Leegue race!

A BLUE STAR BANNER ON THE WEST ROAD!

The last few days have been great for teams who play on the banks o' the Tyne!

Forstly we saw NUFC beat 'The Tractor Boys' of Ipswich 3-0 last Saturday at SJP to move up to 3rd place in The Premyaa Leegue!

Then on Tuezday neet we saw 'The Bad Blue Boys' of Dunston beat Emley 1-0 in front of a excellent 903 crowd, with a last gasp goal, in The Northern Premyaa Leegue East Division semi final play offs! The final will be at Dunston again v Stocksbridge Park Steels this Saturday at '3:00 bells', where a crowd of well in access of 1,000 iz expected!

And then tooneet we cross the Tyne again to watch Newcasil Blue Star 'West End Boys' v The Blyth ‘Toonies’in The Northern Leegue play off final at their Scotswood groond---For a place in the Leegue Dunston are tryin to win promotion from!

Its a '7:30 bells' kick off and a huge crowd approachin 2,000 iz expected!

Last neet in The Premyaa Leegue 'The Friar Tuck Mob' of Nottingham unexpectedly lost 2-0 at home to 'The Beez Kneez' of Brentfaad!---A result that keeps NUFC in the drivin' seat for qualification to The Champions Leegue with just 4 games to gan!

Unfortunatleee we will miss the Dunston final az we are booked on the '3:00 bells' train 🚂 to King's Cross in London on Saturday--on wor way to 'Nee Where Near Brightin on Sunday at '2:00 bells' (Nee Where Near Brightin coz their groond iz 6 miles from Brightin in the middle of nee where!)

A win would cement wor 3rd place and distance worsels from the chasin pack!---It wont be eazy, but The Toon have won 20 oot of wor last 26 games!

So it's: "Howay the Lads!--Howay the Lads! and Howay the Lads!"

Match reports will appear here---eventually! 

Updated ‘high noon bells’ Saturday 🛎️ 

Blue Star lost 5-3 in penalties after they lead 1-0 up til the 89th minute!

Amazingleee Blyth Toon will play Blyth Spartans next season in The Northern Premyaa Leegue East Division after Spartans were relegated from The Northern Premyaa Leegue, Premyaa Division!

The Geordie Times will dee a propaa match report on the game sometime next week when we get time! 🕰️

DUNSTON 1 EMLEY 0 *** NORTHERN PREMYAA LEEGUE SEMI FINAL PLAY OFF

 Posted ‘high noon 🕛 bells’ 🔔 Wedinzday 30th April 2025

“BAD BLUE BOYS BLISS!”

O'DONNELL TRYS A SPECTACULAR OWERHEED KICK THAT WENT OWER THE BAR!

The Geordie Times entourage⬅️(We naa aall the big words!)met up at The Tudor Rose 🌹 boozer in Dunston for a few liquid lubrications, before heeding to Dunston’s groond a 10 minute walk away!

Az we approached the groond, cars were parked in every available space on paths and grass verges, which meant that there would be a much larger crowd in attendance than usual!

We paid in and heeded straight for the clubhoose, but the queue for the bar woz nearly oot the door, so we opted for ‘the can bar’ where there woz nee queue!

We managed to find a place on the touchline to watch the proceedings!

The game kicked off and straight away Dunston went on the attack az they played towards the ‘Tea Hut End’

They had several chances to take the lead but went in aall square at the break!

Emley were a bit better in the 2nd period and the game woz too-and fro and anybody could win it!

The game woz played in warm sunny conditions and the crowd woz at least 3 times the size of a normal Leegue game!

The Bad Blue Boys of Dunston (named after The Bad Blue Boys ultras of Dinamo Zagreb) finally won it when Dan Turner hit a low shot from the edge of the box, which unsighted the Emley keeper, to score a spectacular winning goal in the 94th minute to progress to the play off final, against Stocksbridge Park Steels back at UTS Stadium on Saturday!

The vast majority of the ‘huge’ 900 plus crowd went wild with delight az the Emley players fell to the groond in dispair!

To lose the game that late when extra time woz looming woz cruel to say the least, but it woz exxxxtaseee for Dunston az the entire team includin   Dunston's rather large goalie Dan Lowson, who ran the full length of the pitch to mob the goal scorer near the far corner flag!

That’s futbaall for yoo!

   Joy and dispair at every level of the game!

A rather less than pristine team sheet! (This IZ The Geordie Times!—Wot did yoo expect?) 

Attendance: 903 (aboot 25 Emley fans)

PS: The final iz on Saturday at ‘3:00 🛎️s'!—And guess wot? I’m booked on the ‘3:00 🔔s' train to King’s Cross on Saturday for wor way to Brightin for The Toon’s Premyaa Leegue game at ‘2:00 🛎️s' on Sunday!—(Its ny on impossible to get there on Sunday for the kick off time by train) So unfortunately I won’t be there to see mee fave non leegue team in the biggest game in their history!—Sods law!😬

(Davy the Silver Fox will keep me informed az the train heeds for London)

There's another 'play off' game on Friday neet at Newcasil Blue Star, when they take on Blyth Toon in the Northern Leegue Division One play off final, for a place in the Northern Premyaa Leegue East Division! (The Leegue Dunston are tryin to win promotion from)

'The Geordie Times' will be there az well and a crowd approachin a 'breathtakin' 2,000 iz expected!

It's a '7:30 bells' kick off and if yoo are gannin it would be wise to buy a ticket online from the Blue Star website!---or yoo might not get in!

THE TOON 3 THE TRACTOR BOYS OF IPSWICH 0 *** PREMYAA LEEGUE 2024-2025

 Posted 'high noon bells' Sunday 27th April 2025

"BACK ON TRACK AGAINST THE TRACTOR BOYS!"

After wor horror show at Villa last Saturday, NUFC needed to boonce back against relegation certainteeez Ipswich!

'Steady Eddie' woz back in the dugoot after missin 3 games through illness to huge applause from the crowd!

The game kicked off and within 2 minutes a misplaced pass across the box from Dan Burn, foond Delap who shot just wide at The Gallowgate End----"Time to wake up lads!"

Bruno then 'scored' at The Leazes End but woz deemed to have fouled Palmer in the visitors goal and so it woz chalked off! (A very harsh decision!!)

Ipswich's Johnson then got a yellow card for divin' in the box!

Isak then sent a heeder ower the bar and then a back heel a minute later went ower the bar az well, az the half dragged on!

Johnson woz then send off in the 37th minute when he held onto Isak on the Miburn Stand wing--- hiz 2nd yellow card--and so they were doon to ten men! 

Sandro Tonali then hit the top of the right hand post, az we laid seige to the Tractor Boys goal and we wondered if it woz gannin to be one of those games!?

Az stoppage time approached Jacob Murpy woz fouled in the box, but the ref waved 'play on'!

VAR got involved and told him to gan to the monitor to have a 2nd look!---20 looks later! and he eventually pointed to the penalty spot to the relief of the crowd!

Alexander the Great (Isak) took the kick and put the baall to the right of the Ipswich keeper, who tried in vain to get hiz hands to the baall! (Isak's 22nd Premyaa Leegue goal of the season!)  HT 1-0 to us!

The 2nd half woz played aalmost entirely in the Gallowgate End of the pitch az we looked to improve wor goal difference!

It finally happened in the 56th minute when Tripper sent a pin-point cross from the Milburn Stand side of the pitch and Dan Burn woz on hand to heed home from very close range! 2-0 to us!

The thord and final goal came in the 80th minute, when 'super-sub' Osula heeded into the net from a Trippier corner from the Milburn Stand side! 3-0 to us!---final score!---and relegation finally conformed for Ipswich! (Sven Botman had come on in the 83rd minute, to huge applause from the Toon fans after lang torm absence through injury!)

The plus 3 goal difference cancelled oot the 4-1 defeat at Villa and this woz wor 6th win in 7 games, to propel The Toon back up to thord place in the table with a goal difference of plus 22, which could be pivotal in the race for the Champions Leegue, with just 4 game to gan!

Attendance: 52,171 (Includin an impressive 3,000 Tractor Boys in level 7 of The Leazes End! The vast majority stayed til the bitter end to applaud their team and vise versa!)

Footnote: It's a funny old game!

In wor last home game we hammered Palliss 5-0 and then went to Villa and were hammered 4-1

Villa then went to Wembley yesterday to play Palliss in the semi finals of the FA Cup and (aye yiv guessed it!) were hammered 3-0!

"STEADY EDDIE IZ BACK AND READY!"

 Posted ‘high noon 🔔 bells’ Friday 25th April 2025 🫅

News that Eddie Howe🫅haz recovered from pneumonia haz finally reached 'The Geordie Times' (one day late via carrier pigeon!🠟🕊)

This iz fantastic news for everybody connected with NUFC and iz a major boost for wor Champions Leegue aspirations! (Although Eddie said that he still wasn’t 100%)

We play Ipswich tomorrow afternooon in wor last Saturday game of the season and 3 points would propel us up to 3rd in the table and relegate Ipswich in the process!

We need to boonce back from the 4-1 defeat at Villa last Saturday and widen the gap between us and them to the 5 points gap we had between us before that defeat!

Villaa, Man Citih and Forest are aall in FA Cup semi final action this weekend, so this iz a great chance to cement wor place in the top 5 and a Champions Leegue place next season!

The Toon beat Ipswich 4-0 at their place, orlier in the season, but az we naa in futbaall, anything can happen if we are not 100% focused!🔭 Plus wor visitors havvint won on Tyneside for 40 years!🍌

A full 'Geordie Times' match report will appear here sometime on Sunday!

PS: Wor U21s are in action tooneet v The Arse U21s in the Premer Leegue 2 play offs at Boreham Wood FC’s Meadow Park groond in London! It’s a ‘7 🛎️ bells’ kick off and entry iz FREE!

The NUFC mad-sad groundhoppers’ have been here before and we have got the ‘T shirt’ , so we won’t be there tooneet! (We don’t gan to these games if we’ve been to the groond before!)

But if yoo just happen to be in the London area today, ‘get yourselz doon and support The Toon!’

THE CHAMPIONS LEEGUE RACE IZ ON!*** 5 HURDLES TO GAN!

Posted 'high noon bells'🕭St.Georges Day 23rd April 2025 🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎

Villa'z 2-1 defeat at Man City last neet gives NUFC the chance to restore the 5 point gap we had on them, before they beat us last Saturday, IF we can beat relegation certainties Ipswich Toon at SJP on Saturday afternooon!---Aalso with 3 of the chasin' pack includin Villa in FA Cup semi final action ower the weekend, it gives us the chance to move back to 3rd place in the Premyaa Leegue table with just 4 games to play after the Ipswich game!

Its squeaky bum time, folks!

NEWTON AYYYCLIFFE 0 DUNSTON BAD BLUE BOYS 1 *** NORTHERN PREMYAA LEEGUE EAST DIVISION!

Posted '8:30pm bells🕭' Tuezday 22nd April 2025

"PREMYAA, PREMYAA, HERE WE COME?"

This game woz billed az a '6 pointer' coz if Dunston won theyd be certain to finish 2nd in the table and have home advantage in both the semi final and Final of the play offs, if they made it that far!

Ayyycliffe on the other hand would be just a point behind if they won, with just one game to gan after this!----So it woz a 'winner takes aall' into the final weekend of the season in the leegue!

We started of at 'The Clav' club in Dunston and 15 of us were booked onto a mini bus to take us on the half hour jorney to the game at The Moor Lane Sports Club groond!

A 73 seater bus from 'Stanley Travel' then torned up?----The driver said he had to drop us off and then heed for Seaham to pick a bus load of SMBs up and take them to The SOS where the mackems were playin Bleakburn in The Championship!

Thoughts of puttin some chewin gum on the seats crossed wor minds, but az we didnt have any, it woz a non starter!

The 15 of us had at least 4 seats each for the jorney doon to deepest Coonty Durham for this Easter Munday fixture!

THE ENTRANCE TO THE CLUBHOOSE?—OR NOT AZ THE CASE MAY BE!

The clubhoose woz open at '11am bells' for this '1:00pm bells' kick off and vast quanities of ale were consumed before heedin for the groond, which woz a 3 minute walk past a cricket groond!

A bumper crowd woz expected, and we guessed that there were aboot 400 inside the groond at kick of time! (400 iz a bumper crowd in this leegue)

There woz a bit of confusion at the start az Dunston fan 'Davy the Silver Fox' thought that Ayyycliffe's colour were yellow shirts!   But the two team ran oot in aall blue and aall red strips?  Dunston normally play in blue and at forst sight we thought it woz them!----But NO we recognised a couple of Dunston players wearin RED az the teams lined up

THE BAD BLUE BOYS IN RED!

The home side started off the better az they attacked the right hand goal from wor standin' position in line with the penalty area!

Dunston foond their feet in the 9th minute when O'Donnell had a shot from distance but it woz easily saved by Pollard in the NA goal!

Then in the 32nd minute Clarkson missed a great chance to put the home side aheed!

Then in the 37th minute The Bad Blue Boys in RED had a great chance to take the lead instead through Pearson, but instead of shootin' he passed to O'Donnell, who woz fractionly offside! HT 0-0

It woz time to heed for somemore 'liquid lubrications' back in the clubhoose, before retornin' 10 minutes late into the 2nd half!   Still 0-0, so we thankfully haddint missed any goals! ("hic!")

The big BIG breaktrhough came in the 63rd minute when Dunston's Richie Coulson sent a cross into the box and David Robinson woz on hand to send a powerful heeder into the net with Pollard unable to stop it!

It woz then a case of defend, defend from the visitors and there woz a nailbitin' finish az NA tried in vain for the equaliser!

7 minutes off stoppage time woz played and eventually the ref blew for full time, az the 40 or so Dunston fans and commitee celebrated the great win!---A win that meenz ‘The Bad Blue Boys’ finish in 2nd position in the table and will have home advantage in the semi-final play off next Tuezday neet against a possibility of 4 teams, includin Newton Ayyycliffe again!

History woz made az this iz the highest position Dunston have ever finished in the pyramid system!

Promotion to the Northern Premyaa, Premyaa Division iz now a very real possibility!

SORRY ABOOT THE CRUMPLED TEAM SHEET, BUT THIS IZ THE GEORDIE TIMES—WOT DID YOO EXPECT?

The official attendance woz given az 514, double their normal home gate!---so we were just ower a hundred under in wor estimation!

We DID INDEED travel back to Tyneside in a mini bus, but not after several more celebratory 'liquid lubrications' back in the clubhoose!

'Fink' (the mad-sad groundhopper!)

 

“HELLO! GOODBYE!”

Championship results on Easter 🐣 Munday meenz that both Leeedz and The Bornlee Hillbillies are promoted to The Premyaa Leegue, while Sooothampton, Lestaa and almost certainly Ipswich Toon are relegated to The Championship!

The final promotion place in the play-offs iz between The SMBs, The Smoggies, Bristol Citeee, Coventreee, Bleakburn Rovers and Millwaall

Great news if you’re a Toon traveller to replace 2 lang distance away travels (Soothampton and Ipswich (750 and 650 miles roond trips) by 2 fairly local ones! (Leedz and Bornleee(180 and 220 miles roond trips)

Wor prefered option in the play-offs iz Sheff U coz its not too far and we definaltly divvint want the mackems or Boro in the top flight!

And taakin aboot play-offs, mee fave non leegue team Dunston Bad Blue Boys won 1-0 at Newton Aycliffe yesterday and will finish in 2nd place in the Northern Premyaa Leegue East Division!

This gives Dunston home advantage in both the semi final and Final (if they get that far?)

A match report on that game at Aycliffe will be forthcomin', sometime tooneet!

Meenwhile Forest’s away win at Sporz last neet meenz NUFC drop to 4th place in The Premyaa Leegue—and tooneet to 5th place if Man City draw or beat Villa or if Villa win!

A draw iz wor prefered option for that game, az both clubs will then drop 2 points each!
