Fvck me.....did rumpy use to be Tony McPhee in a previous life?

Mmm easy was it you two games to get past us if it was that easy you would have only taken one game not 2 and also we wouldnt have scored first in both games still at least we gave it a ago and i think i can say that all the Chertsey fans are proud of thier team.All there is to say now is good luck and come on shildon

 

 

 

 

Apart from one outragous challenge on our goalie Chertsey were a credit to their league, with a bit more composure/skill they could have forced extra time. The Mighty Bay ! have a cracking cup pedigree & know how to win cup games. Good luck for the rest of your season, hope all those who travelled enjoyed their short stay at the Bay as much as we did at Chertsey.

 

HOWAY THE BAY

FA Vase: Whitley bay 2 Chertsey Town 1

Feb 14 2010 by Steve Brown, Sunday Sun

 

ROLL on February 27. It might just be one of the biggest days in North East sport.

 

For while the Norton’s bus trip to Barwell is one thing, the Bay’s quarter-final trip to Shildon – and with it the guarantee of a Northern League club in the last four of the Vase – is altogether something else.

 

Such things happen, when the ‘Seagull’ hovers over the Seahorses.

 

“It’s a bit unfair them calling me the Seagull,” manager Ian Chandler said. “It’s something to do with hanging around them when there's food on the go but I paid for my own spicy chicken pasty!

 

“I’m just glad we’re through and we’re all looking forward to the next round at Shildon.”

 

Relieved, more like. Over two games Chertsey – great WAGs, by the way – have given Whitley a better run for their (though not Chandler’s) money than pretty much anyone but Lowestoft.

 

At 0-1 you could feel the fear in their faces.

 

Yet champions do as champions are. So forget the early-season 10-nils and Wembley, and whatever becomes of this campaign; recall always days when they dug their heels in.

 

Days like yesterday. Trailing to Town’s opener, the Bay prevailed just long enough – four minutes before the break really – to triumph.

 

Though they started and finished on top, the rest was a struggle equivalent only to the quest to get a post-match pint out of Chandler.

 

After Adam Johnston fired wide almost from kick-off, Whitley were disengaged from the hook when Steve Goddard shot off target when the goal gaped.

 

Therafter, Terry Burke brilliantly saved from Kwabena Asyei and the excellent Dave Tarpey but after Lee Kerr volleyed astray, Chertsey – great WAGs, did I mention that? – led when Asyei tapped in Gavin Bamford’s cross-shot.

 

Suddenly, a side who’d hotel-ed with the Hairy Bikers were cooking on gas. They just couldn’t seal the meal, and before long they ran out of steam.

 

On 40 minutes Paul Robinson scored the sort of goal that if you know him, or know of him, you know Paul Robinson scores.

 

Teed-up by the indefatigable Damon Robson, Robbo hit one. From 40 yards. It fairly nestled in the corner. The corner could not have kept it out.

 

“Mint,” said one, in the bogs. Backed by Spit the Dog, minter sharp followed.

 

Moments before half-time Robinson’s corner was bundled into the net by David Coulson, slightly more imperious than Leon Ryan, but not by much.

 

Cue a goal celebration, wings-a-flapping, in tribute to Chandler. And bomb on, you thought . . .

 

But the Bay don’t do easy rides. Exceptionally, for we wee writers, they do drama by the bucket-load.

 

And so it was that aside from Chris Fawcett hitting keeper Liam Stone and Kerr clipping a post then firing wide, apart from Robinson then stringbean-like Phil Bell again hitting the keeper, Chertsey made a game of it.

 

Tarpey’s free-kick and Asyei’s shot flew wide, Goddard fired at Burke and in one of those game-defining moments, Steve Gibson’s long-range effort came down off the underside of the bar.

 

In the absence of a Russian linesman, the game was the Bay’s. And Chandler was buying . . .

 

WHITLEY BAY: Burke 8, McFarlane 7, Fawcett 6, Hodgson 6 (Reid 59, 8), Coulson 8, Ryan 7, Moore 6 (Chow 83, 6), ROBSON 9, Johnston 6 (Bell 66, 6), Kerr 6, Robinson 9.

 

CHERTSEY: Stone 6, Gibson 7, Treacher 8, Tynson 7 (Moorhouse 75, 6), Boswell 6, Francis 6, Goddard 8, Bamford 6 (Crossley 89, 6), Asyei 8 (Pomroy 66, 6), TARPEY 8, Moody 6.

Good Luck to the Bay in the latter stages Northie. If you dont clear off to Step 4 in the near future be good to draw you.

Kept off by a good performance from Kwabena Agyei it appears. Hope K doesn't mind being called Asyei throughout that report!
