MY DAY IN NEWCASTLE 18-4-16


I went to Newcastle to see my great aunt. I went to see both rugby and football matches that happened on Saturday and Sunday. I had to get up early to go to Newcastle but I was happy and the airport was quick enough. When we got across we went for something to eat. Then we went back to her house and probably the worst internet I had seen since the mid-90s. After I watched the snooker and some children’s TV. We then went to her daughter’s houses house and her grandchild was very nice and the other one was into computers in a big way he did talk to me though and was happy to do so. We then went off to St James Park and sat beside a fan that was very strong in his views. We were right behind the goal and I could clearly see the first goal.   I liked the man who took me there as he was a strong Newcastle Fan.

Newcastle 3-0 Swansea

LASCELLES GOAL GIVES TOON REAL HOPE
 

Jamaal Lascelles headed in from a corner to put Newcastle in front towards the end of an edgy first half.

Ashley Williams and Jefferson Montero missed chances as the Swans dominated after the break, but Moussa Sissoko and Andros Townsend struck late goals.


Newcastle to me are back in the race to avoid relegation as they are 3 points behind with a game in hand but that game in hand is against man city.

There was a long drive home before I got in and watched my Saturday night programs I was no distraction for the night we had a pizza that was massive in size and would have wanted to have seen it at a different time both the ladies must have had to lift it.

On Sunday morning I got up early and could not go back to sleep so I watched some children’s TV and snooker before going to an Irish pub to watch the old firm derby there were 2 bars and both were filled to capacity. I had to stand to watch the game and I was happy enough and had to move so others to see. I liked when I was given the drinks and the crowd was very loud. I talked to more people from Glasgow that actual Irish people there was not a Ger in sight.  

Rangers 2-2 Celtic

Rangers win on penalties

BROWN MISSES VITAL PENALTY FOR CELTIC
 

Tom Rogic, who levelled in extra time for Celtic, missed the vital spot-kick, blazing high and wide.

Rangers striker Kenny Miller fired in the opening goal, with Celtic replying through an Erik Sviatchenko header.

A wonderful long-range strike from Barrie McKay had Rangers in front on 96 minutes before Rogic swept home to set up a tense Hampden shootout

James Tavernier and Nicky Clark failed to convert from the spot for Rangers, while Callum McGregor and captain Scott Brown could not hit the target for Celtic before Rogic's miss made it 5-4 on penalties to the Championship winners.

We then went straight to the rugby as there was no time for food as we sat in brilliant seets in the middle of the ground right beside a guy who could only say the words New- Cas- Tle his family must have some difficulty talking to him

Newcastle 3-6 London Irish
DELENY TRY SAVES NEWCASTLE FROM DROP  

Greig Tonks had kicked them in front at Kingston Park, but Marcus Watson's try and penalties from Mike Delany and Juan Pablo Socino put Falcons 13-6 ahead.


One more win will secure their place in the top flight.

We then had food where I watched the snooker and then I went home to Treasas and I watched family fortunes and then we went back to the airport.
