Post-Match Thread and Ratings Gateshead 0-0 Southend United

[Magnum PI]

Someone was saying they were pleased the daggers were relegated but with possible trips to Carlisle and Morecambe if we stay in this league I would have thought more local away games would be kinder on the pocket

Wealdstone is hardly the lake district

Wonderful news. May it be the first relegation of many!!

Totally agree.

back on coach, blimey.

Well we have achieved. Playoffs, regardless of how they pan out, is a phenomenal outcome and one I did not expect. Congrats to team and management for improving on last season. 0-0 is the only score I did not see coming.

Nouble didn't get a sniff, the fat slug. That's almost as good as getting the last play-off place.

Pure music to my ears RHB, today he just had to keep his big mouth shut the useless ****.

Horrible game of football to watch but the result is what matters. Hopper is terrible and needs dropping for bonne.

Wealdstone is hardly the lake district

Equally beautiful though

 

[Tinks]

I will be honest and just say i am glad that is over with.
Felt so anxious beforehand and even more during

That was always my biggest concern. I hope all the players celebrated around him, vile bloke!

I say this with the caveat that I am 4 cocktails deep on the P&O Iona, having watched on DAZN on my phone whilst we sailed away from Stavanger, Norway.

But I thought that was almost as good a 0-0 away performance as you'll see from us.

Won't win any awards for being free-flowing, and we should really have made our first half superiority count before a more even second half.....but ultimately, who cares?

They did exactly what they needed to do.

It was hard-working and professional, and we swept up the vast majority of second and third balls. Bar parts of the final 15 mins (including stoppage time), it felt like we were in control and never really in much danger.

We played the match, not the occasion, and the game management and ****housery was generally on point.

The playoffs are a lottery and we've given ourselves a chance!

Well done you Blue Boys!

My wife is on that cruise. Enjoy

Spent a highly streessful weekend, dodging storms whilst working outside in Toulouse. However my stress levels never got anywhere near to what they were this afternoon ...... Especially in that last eight mins of additional time. Professional performance.....The dream is still alive......on to Rochdale!

Watched it on iPad at my local irish bar in Bangkok.

Nervy last 15 minutes but job done. Lovely seeing the full time scenes.

Great "game management" from Nick Hayes.

 

[Ricey]

Daggers relegated too, what a great day!

Really strange how obsessed people are with this guy...

We've just got into the playoffs having spend all of 9 days that high in the table, how about enjoying that rather than thinking about an ex-player?

Sorry enjoy your wife ???

 

[Barnet Bee]

Well done the Blues. It's gonna be a tough couple of away games just to reach Wembley but I'll be with you all in spirit. If Wembley does beckon then help with a ticket as I want to be a Shrimper for the day. If this season comes a bit too early then I'm certain you are now heading in the right direction , COY Blues , get it done and fantastic away support again today.... Respect

Not the best of games and taking our chances would have made it much less stressful in the closing stages.
Job done but improvements needed in the play offs.

I dare say they were Southend fans in the home end

There were a few there, but one of them text me to say that a handful of Gateshead fans stayed behind to clap us off, a sort of congratulations.

 

[The Original Tribal Chief]

I said they wouldn't make the playoffs. I am so happy to be wrong. Promotion here we come - LFG!!!!

Or better yet, both! He’s a yappy tosser who cost us a playoff berth a few years ago and has been dishing it out ever since
