Big Geordie

You betcha!

A stupid little doylem, with owa many hangers on and too much cash.

Terrific photo of Beardsley and Shearer. Is that Darren Peacock in the background?

That the final score? Good to see Big Al rolling back the years.

That was painful. ITV will be wanking all over it and Rooney though - I've turned off.

Reins, man. God, my head hurts when this happens. When you become king you can reign. I don't know how I haven't hit more people. Probably because I don't live in Edinburgh I suppose. *dodges handbag* Bloody typo.

Yup - was naughty from Rooney. He's only in the side because sponsors will demand it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Rivers misses a pen for Blyth - keeper saves.

Blyth 3 Mickleover 0 Jarrett Rivers

Blyth 2 Mickleover 0 Matty Pattinson (ex Newcastle) with a belter from 30 yards.

Blyth 1 Mickleover 0 Luke Armstrong

Listening to Blyth v Mickleover. Alun Armstrong hasn't had a great start since he took the reigns over from Tom Wade, who left Blyth the other week. http://mixlr.com/blythspartans/?utm_source=new_broadcast_alert&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=alert

The bitterness!

Wharton sitting on the ball v Luton. Brilliant. I remember Steve Foster kicking off after the game ended and Peter Jackson (I think) stepping in to sort it out.

That game was started in the full knowledge that it could not have been finished, but getting to half-time meant no refunds. The last embers of McKeag. Much better now we have Ashley! Yup. Was hell on in the local press the day after. The club relented and everyone was let in half-price for the re-arranged game (which we lost on pens)

Wettest match - at home to Oxford in 1991. Match was called off at HT (should have never been allowed to start) with the score at 1-1. Absolutely soaked along with 13000 others that were there. I was also at the Bournemouth cup tie in 1992 (the first one) that was postponed to due pea soup fog. Couldn't see the Leazes End, from the Scoreboard and could barely see the Milburn too.

Wimbledon game was 88 I think? Year before Hillsborough. Am sure Mira kicked Beasant up the arse and then ran away!

Can a mod move the recent 'memories' posts from the mackem thread, into here (if possible) please.

'Dog Eggs'. :D

As a kid, I used to go on the Jordan's bus, which started off in Ashington and went to Newcastle via Cambois (where me and dad got on) and Bedlington. Used to sit at the back with dad and all of his mates - I was 8 or 9 years old. They used to take me to the Companion's Club on Leazes Terrace - used to go in the little lounge there. Then off to the ground with dad - old family enclosure in the West Stand - next to the Leazes. Can still remember the smell of 'baccy' in the paddock and people stamping their feet on the wooden floor, in the seats behind when Newcastle got a corner.

on and Shearer;s wonderful volley, v Everton.

Keegan's debut v QPR and his last game v Brighton. Ned Kelly v Portsmouth in 1992 Mark McGhee v Leicester in 1990 Bellamy v Feyenoord in the CL Andy Griffin v Juventus in the CL to name but a few.

Blyth losing 2-0 at home to Warrington. Not a good start for Alun Armstrong's reign as manager.

CP40 I remember the war cry, from when dad first started taking me back in 81/82. Used to meet some real characters on the terraces. I was the lad no-one liked to be stood behind, due to being so tall (6'8) Was once told, that I could be spotted in the Scoreboard, from the Leazes End.

I remember the Indian War Cry. Also remember a bloke who sat in the Corner of the East Stand who was christened 'Kenny Everett', because he had dark hair and a beard. Used to start the singing off in that part of the East Stand and I remember watching him go crackers at the Hull game, back in 1991 when Sunderland were confirmed relegated. I also remember a bloke called 'Norman' who got up on the barriers in the corner, to start the songs off. Had a baldy head and wore dungarees! Also a kid who was christened 'Oxy 10', when I shifted to the scoreboard. He had really bad acne, but wasn't frightened to start the singing off. Memories!
