Nixon, sorry I didn't get to speak to you much. Only realised half way through it was indeed you who asked me how many Scotland caps I had - just after spanking a shot 20 yards wide b******

That seems impossible. Goal every 2 minutes? Christ.

Rich didn't look like a forumite at all thought he was just there to call us all nerds.

So yeah, big thanks to yorkie for organising it all. Was a big task and it must have been pretty stressful. He also had to put up with me for 2 nights, had a great laugh! Anyway, didn't take many pictures and they are s***, but here (in addition to Yorkie's a couple pages back http://www.newcastle-online.org/nufcforum/index.php/topic,93434.msg4278099.html#msg4278099) http://i.imgur.com/aCiNi7c.jpg Dino, Disco, Neil, Neesy, OCK, GallowgateKev, Rich http://i.imgur.com/RYphDTO.jpg Yorkie, Dino, Neil, Disco, Me, Neesy, Slim http://i.imgur.com/FJFkgIT.jpg http://i.imgur.com/fUdMRRW.jpg Bonus picture of Slim for him swapping seats with Rocker so he wouldn't swear in front of the females, as if Rocker would be remotely better http://i.imgur.com/n9G2CQA.jpg Irrelevant, typical, widely available shot of pitch. Cheers to everyone. Sorry for being OTT but had a class time and everyone was bang on

You're probably right. I'll have a reshuffle shortly.

I know, sorry, I just copied a previous post. Will fix.

Reds 2 - 5 Blues Ketsbaia '37 Nixon Jnr '15, '80 GallowgateKev '66 Nixon '50 TaylorJ '60 Geordiecunny '76 Competitive game in varying conditions - horizontal ice blizzards to sunshine. Some good play (confirmed by the ref who said "some good play") and some bad. I'll put a * where I'm not sure. Also, the times are pretty much guesses, but it's roughly correct. Don't think it went 1-1 but I can't remember. '10 - Ball played down right by geordiecunny, whipped in by TaylorJ but no-one on the end of it. '15 - Nixon* plays through his brother who goes on to slot past the onrushing goalkeeper. 1-0. '20 - A reds attack marvellously halted by a Rich doom tackle. '37 - GallowgateKev shot saved by Knoxy333 but falls into path of Ketsbaia who smashes it into the roof of the net. 1-1. '45 - Ref blows for half-time. Jaffa cakes all round courtesy of Rich. '50 - TaylorJ* pass to Nixon who pushes the ball out his feet from 18 yards and whips one over the keeper. 2-1. '53 - A Neil powerdrive well saved by the Blue's keeper. '55 - Disco burns his face into the ground. Mild applause. '60 - Rich* plays ball to theregulars who plays through TaylorJ to slot home. 3-1. '64 - ****** header from a GallowgateKev corner brilliantly saved, at close range, by Knoxy333 and cleared. '66 - GallowgateKev scores a great goal from outside the box. 3-2. '70 - geordiecunny, possibly aided by the wind, hits a 20 yard effort over the keeper after great midfield hustling by LFEE. 4-2. '75 - Optimistic Nut left footed drive from distance just wide. '80 - Nixon Jnr in, quite literally, acres of space to score past the red's keeper. 5-2. '83 - Kev shoots from fully 300 yards, possibly put off by girl's hockey team. Teams (roughly) BLUES: ----------------------Knoxy333------------------ ---------Yorkie----Rich------Joey------mattypnufc----------------------- ---LFEE/Ian W---geordiecunny----Theregulars -------Nixon------- -TaylorJ_01-------------------------------------Nixon Jnr---- REDS: ----------------------DaveJ------------------ -----------Neesy------Nut------Duffy----------------------- ----Rocker---Neil----Slim----Disco----Dino----- ---------------Kev------OCK ------------------------------------------------------- If anyone has any corrections/additions then fire away. The times/order are probably completely wrong but there we go.

I've no idea why he gave the pass back. I stuck a leg out to block and it deflected to the keeper. Was cool having linesmen but he didn't whistle so was never sure if it was indeed offside or not. Otherwise it was great having a ref, kept it serious.

Enjoyed our match up. Was delighted you changed position in the 2nd half (although still schooled me).

Well played man! I'll write up a wee match report and leave blanks where I've forgotten names etc.

Every NUFC game I have been to there has been a last minute goal for us. Pretty weird. Rounded off a top day!

Should have squared it tbh

Lovely match.

Lovely meeting everyone by the way. Still a few out at toon waaal. Great chaps

Just need to stick to playing on the deck. Patience. Fackin cold btw!

5-2 to the blues. Good, cold game. In pub being warm.

there will be numerous, greatly varying match reports, don't worry

Aye fuck off clouds, sun coming oot.

Appears to be brightening a bit.

Dat snow... should pass.

Any problems - call yorkie 07578028514

Nah. It's only saying light snow so should be fine. We need balls though, so if you have a ball - bring it.

Neil is mad.

Holy shitting fuck.

Any result will be funny/good. 0-0 probably the ultimate.
