We travel to Bimbos old home town, when we cross the Tyne and visit the Toon for todays match against the Terrors. He immediately lets the locals know hes excited to be back in toon by promptly getting booked on 6 minutes! Worse still as the Toon work the ball upfield from the free kick and Steve Bradley terrorises Gunny by scoring the opening goal in the 13th minute.Things look like they might get worse still when Gunny take out the ex-BUFC player JW and concedes a penalty, picking up a caution from the ref at the same time. JW tries to fool the Boston keeper with a crafty penalty but Gunny saves it easily! Yay!!! JW is in for more treatment five minutes later when Iama shows him shes no push over either and takes his legs from under him. Once again Gunny stares out JW, who fluffs his second penalty of the match!!!Fired up today, Iama decides its time to give the other Toon striker, S Bradley some of the same and unfortunately this time she also goes into the referees notebook! On cracking form, its also Gunnys third penalty save of the day as she collects the ball from the Bradley spot-kick!!! This must go into the clubs record books three penalty saves and its not even half-time yet!!!
Gunny finishes the half with yet another outstanding save from Bradley on 40 mins and finds Bimbo from her route one clearance. He makes a neat assist to find Phoenix inside the box, who puts the ball in the net to take us in level at 1-1.JWs day gets worse early in the second half, when team captain AJ sticks the boot in too but no free kick is awarded this time! Steve Bradley however puts the Toon ahead on 73 mins to groans from the travelling Boston supporters. However the Bulls are not behind for long and on 79 mins Bimbo finds himself in the clear to net the equaliser!The final action of the game sees Gunny pull off yet another magnificent save with Bradley looking for the Toons winner. S Bradley end up being awarded the MoM award for his two goals, but back in the dressing room afterwards we cant help wondering how it didnt go to Gunny who was undoubtedly the best player for us on the pitch today!!!
