Hello, and welcome to Look North. In the programme tonight - two very | :00:06. | :00:08. | |
different Christmas presents. They beat up a teenager, now | :00:08. | :00:11. | |
Magistrates have relaxed their curfew order so that they can go to | :00:11. | :00:13. | |
a football match. And Christmas cheer for Sir Bobby's | :00:13. | :00:18. | |
foundation as a major donation boosts his cancer research goal. | :00:18. | :00:22. | |
Also tonight - You can stop now! Sharon breaks all the records as | :00:22. | :00:26. | |
her treadmill marathon reaches a triumphant conclusion. | :00:26. | :00:29. | |
And lost in translation - how the French cast of a hit play about | :00:29. | :00:35. | |
Sunderland are trying to cope with the language problem. Howay? What | :00:35. | :00:41. | |
is howay? In sport, we'll look ahead to this | :00:41. | :00:44. | |
evening's big Premier League matches at both ends of the table. | :00:44. | :00:47. | |
And what's gone wrong at Hartlepool - and can the new caretaker boss | :00:47. | :00:57. | |
:00:57. | :01:02. | ||
Two men who beat up a teenager have had their curfew orders changed by | :01:02. | :01:07. | |
a court so they can attend a football match. Karl Smith and | :01:07. | :01:10. | |
Jeffrey Burton will now be on their way to St James' Park to watch | :01:10. | :01:14. | |
Newcastle United play West Bromwich Albion tonight. They were told by | :01:14. | :01:17. | |
Magistrates that the decision was in the spirit of Christmas, but | :01:17. | :01:27. | |
:01:27. | :01:29. | ||
it's a decision a national victims' charity says is astonishing. | :01:29. | :01:35. | |
This is Karl Smith who is 22, and this is his friend, Jeffrey Burton | :01:35. | :01:41. | |
who is 32, on a Friday night during the summer and they attacked an 18- | :01:41. | :01:45. | |
year-old and were arrested. It happened outside a bar in Newcastle | :01:45. | :01:49. | |
and they were charged for the salt, occasioning actual bodily harm | :01:49. | :01:55. | |
which can carry up to five years in jail. When the matter came to court, | :01:55. | :02:00. | |
the men were made the subject of a curfew which would be measured by | :02:00. | :02:05. | |
an electronic tag. They are not allowed to leave their homes | :02:05. | :02:10. | |
between 9pm and 6am. Then they bought tickets for tonight's | :02:10. | :02:16. | |
Newcastle match which kicks off tonight. They came back to ask for | :02:16. | :02:21. | |
the curfew to be relaxed so they can go. It was relaxed, the | :02:21. | :02:25. | |
chairman of the bench described it as a Christmas present. As seasonal | :02:25. | :02:31. | |
spirit in which not everyone has welcomed. Here are two criminals | :02:31. | :02:35. | |
being let off in the Christmas spirit to go to a football match. | :02:35. | :02:38. | |
At the same time, other criminals up and down the country will be | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
planning to commit further offences over the Christmas period because | :02:42. | :02:47. | |
they think people will be easy victims. There will be homes fall | :02:47. | :02:56. | |
of valuables, people will be out and leaving things in the house. At | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
a time when criminals are showing precious little sympathy for | :02:59. | :03:03. | |
victims, it does not feel right the criminal-justice system is doing | :03:03. | :03:09. | |
that. The judicial office says courts does have the discretion to | :03:09. | :03:15. | |
vary curfew orders. The men could not be contacted. | :03:15. | :03:19. | |
Now here's a story about a more uplifting kind of Christmas present. | :03:19. | :03:21. | |
When Sir Bobby Robson set up his Foundation to raise money for a | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
cancer research trials centre he had a target of half a million | :03:24. | :03:31. | |
pounds. Now, his charity has raised almost eight times that. The latest | :03:31. | :03:35. | |
boost came from a special online auction. That brought in more than | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
�100,000 and today the money was handed across to his widow, Lady | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
Elsie. Lady Elsie Robson chats to Frances | :03:41. | :03:43. | |
Sheeran at the Cancer Trials Research Centre named after her | :03:43. | :03:48. | |
late husband. All the patients here at the unit in Newcastle's Freeman | :03:48. | :03:53. | |
Hospital have terminal cancer. Frances is a primary school teacher | :03:53. | :03:59. | |
and has been coming here since August. | :03:59. | :04:03. | |
If it wasn't for Sir Bobby Robson I wouldn't be getting on this special | :04:03. | :04:09. | |
trial. Without this, I don't know what would have happened. It has | :04:09. | :04:14. | |
given new hope? Definitely. Kerry Browne is from Carlisle. The mother | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
of two has secondary cancer in her lungs. She's been having treatment | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
every fortnight since January, made possible by the Sir Bobby Robson | :04:20. | :04:29. | |
Foundation. I am like a front line guinea pig, but happy to be it. If | :04:29. | :04:34. | |
it was not doing me good, it could be doing other people. But there is | :04:34. | :04:38. | |
no guarantee it will work for you because cancer has a mind of its | :04:38. | :04:44. | |
own. It is working for me and I am lucky I have been given the chance. | :04:44. | :04:46. | |
Just two patients who've been given hope. Hope financed by public | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
donations. The latest cheque was handed across today. More than | :04:51. | :04:53. | |
�100,000 raised from an online auction of items donated by famous | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
people. Including Jose Mourinho's World Coach of the Year award, | :04:56. | :05:06. | |
:05:06. | :05:10. | ||
which fetched �26,000. He was a deer family friend and it seemed a | :05:10. | :05:15. | |
fitting thing to do for an amazing man. He was so liked throughout the | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
world, to do an online auction. However, we thought it would be | :05:19. | :05:24. | |
quite small and it became an incredible global success. | :05:24. | :05:26. | |
Bobby aimed to raise �500,000 and in about three years they've | :05:26. | :05:34. | |
actually got �3.9 million. It is beyond our wildest dreams, it is an | :05:34. | :05:39. | |
enormous amount of money. What would your father thing of people | :05:39. | :05:44. | |
having donated so much? I don't know, I think he would be astounded, | :05:44. | :05:48. | |
he would be embarrassed. Extraordinarily thankful. I don't | :05:48. | :05:53. | |
think he would believe it really. He was always very careful with his | :05:53. | :05:57. | |
money and to get in nearly �4 million is incredible. I cannot | :05:57. | :06:07. | |
:06:07. | :06:08. | ||
thank people enough, it is Cumbria police have announced the | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
sale and closure of up to a dozen local stations in an attempt to | :06:11. | :06:16. | |
help meet multi-million-pound savings targets. The force says the | :06:16. | :06:19. | |
stations, including several in west Cumbria, are out of date and simply | :06:19. | :06:26. | |
not needed. Senior officers say it could raise as much as �3 million. | :06:26. | :06:30. | |
Cumbria police must save more than �20 million by 2016 - a fifth of | :06:30. | :06:35. | |
its budget. It must do it while continuing to patrol a vast, | :06:35. | :06:40. | |
largely rural county. The plan to shut some stations, say officials - | :06:40. | :06:49. | |
makes sense. We have to put police officers were they are required. | :06:49. | :06:53. | |
The way the new neighbourhood policing teams work will ensure | :06:53. | :06:57. | |
that. We will make sure the people of this county get the best | :06:57. | :07:01. | |
possible service they can with the money we have available. West | :07:01. | :07:06. | |
Cumbria will see the bulk of the sales and closures. Police stations | :07:06. | :07:08. | |
in Cleator Moor, Cockermouth, Keswick, Aspatria, Silloth and | :07:08. | :07:12. | |
Wigton will be sold. In some places, new offices will be found, in | :07:12. | :07:15. | |
others the police will share with the fire service, such as Egremont | :07:15. | :07:18. | |
near Whitehaven. But one of the county's top officers says it will | :07:18. | :07:26. | |
actually mean better policing. have to take 20% out of the Budget. | :07:26. | :07:30. | |
We could have 20% less police officers. I think the community | :07:30. | :07:36. | |
would be up in arms about that. We have tried to use every means | :07:36. | :07:43. | |
possible to keep the numbers of police officers and staff high. | :07:43. | :07:46. | |
Cumbria's wide open spaces, maintaining a police presence has | :07:46. | :07:53. | |
always been a challenge. But the force insists on modern technology | :07:53. | :07:59. | |
offices -- offers help the old buildings could not. | :07:59. | :08:01. | |
Cumbria's chief constable, Craig Mackey, has been appointed Deputy | :08:01. | :08:04. | |
Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police. He replaces Tim Godwin, who | :08:04. | :08:09. | |
retired in November. The Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, says Mr | :08:09. | :08:12. | |
Mackey has a "strong track record in public order, and will bring a | :08:12. | :08:17. | |
new dynamism". The Thai steel company SSI has | :08:17. | :08:21. | |
delayed restarting iron and steel making at its Redcar site. The | :08:21. | :08:25. | |
blast furnace had been due to be fired up on 6th January. The | :08:25. | :08:27. | |
company says a combination of bad weather, industrial action and | :08:27. | :08:30. | |
unforeseen work has delayed the process to an unspecified date in | :08:30. | :08:34. | |
the New Year. The Mayor of Hartlepool, Stuart | :08:34. | :08:36. | |
Drummond, has been appointed as the new Chair of Cleveland Police | :08:36. | :08:43. | |
Authority. Mr Drummond has been its Vice Chair since July last year. | :08:43. | :08:45. | |
His election to his new role follows the resignation of Peter | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
Race last week. Last winter's heavy snow forced | :08:48. | :08:56. | |
some midwives at Hexham General to hitch a lift to work by tractor! So | :08:56. | :08:58. | |
to keep their community nurses mobile in the worst weather, | :08:58. | :09:01. | |
Northumbria Healthcare Trust has taken delivery of 30 four wheel | :09:01. | :09:05. | |
drive Minis. The trust has the biggest geographical spread of any | :09:05. | :09:13. | |
in England and staff visit 2,000 people in their own homes every day. | :09:13. | :09:17. | |
Not quite Thelma and Louise. This is Lorraine and Louise taking | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
delivery of the new four wheel drive Minis. The last two harsh | :09:20. | :09:23. | |
winters have been very challenging for health visitors in rural | :09:23. | :09:33. | |
Northumberland. And these new cars will be a lifeline in future. | :09:33. | :09:36. | |
year's Severe weather conditions and made delivery of services very | :09:36. | :09:41. | |
difficult. A lot of the calls we have to deal on fought and we have | :09:41. | :09:45. | |
to rely on the goodwill of patients, their relatives and neighbours. We | :09:45. | :09:49. | |
had a neighbour who was a nurse who helped us with the administration | :09:49. | :09:54. | |
of insulin. We have to use the fire service to help get to those | :09:54. | :09:58. | |
patients who are the least accessible, even on a good day. So | :09:58. | :10:02. | |
last year was very, very difficult. Community nurses, midwives and | :10:02. | :10:05. | |
physiotherapists cover thousands of miles in Northumberland every day. | :10:05. | :10:15. | |
:10:15. | :10:15. | ||
The new cars should help them reach their patients in all weathers. | :10:15. | :10:19. | |
deliver over 2000 health visits the day. It is important we keep our | :10:19. | :10:22. | |
patience healthy and safe in their own homes. The last thing we want | :10:23. | :10:30. | |
to do is have them come into hospital. The fleet of Mini's it | :10:30. | :10:34. | |
will be distributed to hospitals in Hexham, Berwick and out in the | :10:34. | :10:39. | |
wiles of Northumberland. They replace the existing fleet of | :10:39. | :10:43. | |
saloon cars. All the staff need now is a wintry weather to put them | :10:43. | :10:50. | |
through their paces. Much needed, I was caught in that | :10:50. | :10:53. | |
weather heavily pregnant. Campaigners have won their battle | :10:53. | :10:56. | |
to reopen a remote petrol station in Northumberland nearly four years | :10:56. | :10:59. | |
after it was closed. People living in and around Kielder Village have | :10:59. | :11:03. | |
had to make a 35 mile round trip to fill up. A �90,000 project to | :11:03. | :11:07. | |
reopen the business will start in the New Year. | :11:07. | :11:09. | |
A 16 year-old from County Durham is celebrating Christmas with the | :11:09. | :11:13. | |
perfect gift - his first job. Jack Richardson from Crook has been | :11:14. | :11:17. | |
employed as an apprentice green keeper at the Mount Oswald Manor | :11:17. | :11:20. | |
and Golf Course in Durham City. He's among 130 youngsters being | :11:20. | :11:23. | |
offered apprenticeships as part of a council-run scheme to get young | :11:23. | :11:28. | |
people into work. It looks like church bells will be | :11:28. | :11:34. | |
ringing to celebrate the opening of the Olympic Games after all. | :11:34. | :11:37. | |
Yesterday we told you how Church bell ringers in North Shields said | :11:37. | :11:40. | |
they and other ringers around the country couldn't go along with the | :11:40. | :11:44. | |
plans for July 27th. But now they've reached agreement with the | :11:44. | :11:46. | |
national organisers about how to organise the peel - and the bells | :11:46. | :11:53. | |
will be ringing out. It was an incredible mental feat as | :11:53. | :11:57. | |
well as an extreme physical challenge. The Guisborough | :11:57. | :11:59. | |
ultrarunner, Sharon Gayter, today became the world treadmill champion | :11:59. | :12:05. | |
- shattering both the previous male and female records by miles. Sharon | :12:05. | :12:08. | |
has been pounding away in a fitness suite at Teesside University for | :12:08. | :12:13. | |
the last seven days. And while the rest of us have been working and | :12:13. | :12:20. | |
sleeping she clocked up an incredible 517 miles. | :12:20. | :12:25. | |
And they have watched her in all weathers, pounding away on the | :12:25. | :12:31. | |
treadmill for seven days and seven nights. Sharon's normal domain is | :12:31. | :12:36. | |
the great outdoors where she has set up numerous records. Today, all | :12:36. | :12:39. | |
her supporters and several of the charities that will benefit from | :12:39. | :12:44. | |
her extraordinary efforts were there to cheer her home. I know she | :12:44. | :12:48. | |
is looking down on us today and watching with pride and bringing | :12:49. | :12:54. | |
lots of magic to Sharon. awareness of what Sharon is doing | :12:54. | :12:58. | |
is great for the hospice and other great causes like leukaemia | :12:58. | :13:04. | |
research. You cannot put a figure on that. The loneliness of long- | :13:04. | :13:08. | |
distance is about to come to an end. She has been running for about a | :13:08. | :13:13. | |
week and hopefully we can have a word with her. | :13:13. | :13:18. | |
3-2-1... That was the moment at midday when | :13:18. | :13:25. | |
Sharon finally stopped. She had covered an incredible 517.3 miles. | :13:25. | :13:30. | |
50 miles further than the previous male record, let alone the women. | :13:30. | :13:37. | |
came here to do a seven-day race. You don't stop early. You come here | :13:37. | :13:43. | |
to break the record and put it as far as you can. I beat the men this | :13:43. | :13:47. | |
year. To break a man's's world record is fantastic. | :13:47. | :13:51. | |
achievement is believed to be the first time a world record has been | :13:51. | :14:01. | |
:14:01. | :14:03. | ||
broken on Teesside. Coming up: We have a report on the | :14:03. | :14:07. | |
runaway success of the French play about Sunderland. | :14:07. | :14:10. | |
And looking for the real spirit of Christmas. | :14:11. | :14:15. | |
It might be nearly Christmas but it does not feel like the bleak | :14:15. | :14:24. | |
midwinter. I will be back with the weather at the end of the news. | :14:24. | :14:29. | |
In the second of our reports on the French played Sunderland, we take a | :14:29. | :14:33. | |
closer look at how the actors get their heads around the city they | :14:33. | :14:37. | |
have never visited. The reduction is set in a Sunderland but his | :14:37. | :14:41. | |
playing in Paris. It is so successful it won at the theatre | :14:41. | :14:51. | |
:14:51. | :14:54. | ||
has been doubled. The Parisian stereotypes, one of | :14:54. | :15:04. | |
:15:04. | :15:11. | ||
romance. There are similarities with Sunderland! The gay way to the | :15:11. | :15:21. | |
:15:21. | :15:31. | ||
Champs-Elysees. The monuments, The Sunderland Empire, packing them | :15:31. | :15:41. | |
:15:41. | :15:43. | ||
in. And then, there is this, bridging the difference. | :15:43. | :15:51. | |
TRANSLATION: Graham Shaw 50% of people want to see the play. They | :15:51. | :15:56. | |
have no idea it is a city in England. They think it is the play | :15:56. | :16:06. | |
:16:06. | :16:08. | ||
of words. Sunderland was full of rain. The main actors don't have | :16:08. | :16:13. | |
his advantage, they have never been to Sunderland. For them it is a | :16:13. | :16:19. | |
case of imagination. So strange, every night you talk | :16:19. | :16:22. | |
about this city. We talk about at Newcastle, we talk about Glasgow | :16:22. | :16:31. | |
and we have never been there. That is my next voyage. | :16:31. | :16:35. | |
It was the same for Vincent, who plays the boyfriend of the main | :16:35. | :16:44. | |
character, Sally, and the football club he has never heard of. In the | :16:44. | :16:48. | |
play I hate Newcastle. I says some bad things about Newcastle. I say | :16:48. | :16:54. | |
some bad things about Alan Shearer. I don't know this man. You don't | :16:54. | :16:59. | |
know Alan Shearer? I don't. And the French equivalent of a Sunderland | :16:59. | :17:06. | |
accent? There isn't one. Abu heard there is a different accent? A lot, | :17:06. | :17:12. | |
in French we don't have a lot of accents like you have. If you do it | :17:12. | :17:19. | |
in England, I will be happy to see it. Why don't you try and says | :17:19. | :17:29. | |
:17:29. | :17:30. | ||
something. Howay? What is howay? from the glitz and glamour of Paris, | :17:30. | :17:35. | |
to the streets of Sunderland and its critics. Apparently he worked | :17:35. | :17:38. | |
for Nissan and fell in love with Sunderland. It shows the Parisians | :17:39. | :17:43. | |
have a sense of humour. Totally amazed, I did not think it would go | :17:44. | :17:53. | |
down in Paris. Why not? Sunderland is completely different isn't it? | :17:53. | :18:01. | |
The wind in Sunderland is better than Paris. Really? Well, you know? | :18:01. | :18:07. | |
Paris is not the last stop for this play, theatres in Spain, Russia and | :18:07. | :18:11. | |
Germany are interested and I am told it could be heading to the | :18:11. | :18:15. | |
North East of England. As far as similarities go between Sunderland | :18:15. | :18:25. | |
:18:25. | :18:27. | ||
and Paris, SHE SPEAKS FRENCH. We had just heard Sunderland has | :18:27. | :18:34. | |
been confirmed for a five-month tour of France. | :18:34. | :18:38. | |
A student at Newcastle University who is scheme to the South Pole is | :18:38. | :18:45. | |
taking a day off while celebrating her 21st birthday. Bryony and her | :18:45. | :18:53. | |
five-strong team hope to read the North Pole by January. We are | :18:53. | :19:03. | |
:19:03. | :19:03. | ||
having a rest day today. I know there is a party plans for me later. | :19:03. | :19:10. | |
I have sneaked a bit of Bailey's. There is a rumour that there is a | :19:10. | :19:14. | |
drop of whisky left as well. And nice, quiet celebration tomorrow | :19:14. | :19:18. | |
but obviously we have to keep skiing tomorrow. I will have a | :19:18. | :19:23. | |
party when I get home. With the big day just five days | :19:23. | :19:26. | |
away, many will be catching up with last minute shopping or heading off | :19:26. | :19:31. | |
to spend time with relatives. But want Teesside charity is preparing | :19:31. | :19:35. | |
food and offering a bed to asylum- seekers and refugees who are | :19:35. | :19:40. | |
homeless. These are people whose application has been refused but | :19:40. | :19:44. | |
the Home Office is unable to remove them to their home countries. We | :19:44. | :19:50. | |
are now looking at the true spirit of Christmas. | :19:50. | :19:54. | |
As much of Teesside prepares for their beds, for one group, the | :19:54. | :20:04. | |
:20:04. | :20:05. | ||
night shift is about to start. Hello, welcome. This charity runs a | :20:05. | :20:08. | |
shelter for asylum-seekers and refugees left homeless. They are | :20:08. | :20:13. | |
left with almost a living ghost, no right to work, no access to | :20:13. | :20:18. | |
statutory provision, no roof over their head and left on the streets | :20:18. | :20:22. | |
homeless. We want to befriend them and give them a roof over their | :20:22. | :20:26. | |
heads and give them some kind of basic decency, a safe place to | :20:27. | :20:32. | |
sleep that night. So far, six churches across Middlesbrough are | :20:32. | :20:36. | |
opening their doors providing shelters and it is hoped more will | :20:36. | :20:44. | |
follow. The opened a charity runs aid across Teesside. But they | :20:44. | :20:47. | |
cannot help anyone. It is difficult for me when they asked me questions, | :20:47. | :20:53. | |
even before the night shelter starts. They asked me, if you have | :20:53. | :20:57. | |
no place, where shall I go to night? That is the hardest one | :20:57. | :21:04. | |
because I have no answers. They are not allowed to work, they have no | :21:04. | :21:09. | |
normal life and they don't have any access to public funding. Many of | :21:09. | :21:14. | |
them are forced into illegal jobs. The charity provides help and | :21:14. | :21:18. | |
support for more than 100 asylum- seekers but says this evening many | :21:18. | :21:26. | |
more will remain homeless, sleeping on floors and sofas of friends. | :21:27. | :21:31. | |
We will have more on the spirit of Christmas tomorrow. | :21:31. | :21:36. | |
Now the sport. Big gains ahead for the Premier League tonight. | :21:36. | :21:41. | |
Sunderland are at Queen's Park Rangers knowing they are too close | :21:41. | :21:45. | |
to the danger zone but come back. Newcastle are at the other end but | :21:45. | :21:49. | |
feel they are overdue a victory. They are at home to West Bromwich | :21:49. | :21:52. | |
Albion. It is five games about a win the | :21:52. | :21:56. | |
Newcastle after the stalemate on Saturday against Swansea. Hardly a | :21:56. | :22:01. | |
crisis, and they are holding on to 7th place. Our best team can | :22:02. | :22:06. | |
compete with any team in his Premier League. We have a strong | :22:06. | :22:11. | |
enough squad to keep consistently in the top seven or year. We have a | :22:11. | :22:18. | |
nice margin over the rest. It is about as best we can try, stay with | :22:18. | :22:23. | |
the pack. You are talking about a very strong pack of top runners. | :22:23. | :22:28. | |
Tottenham, Liverpool, Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea, | :22:28. | :22:34. | |
way above us in terms of budget. We are doing fabulous. Things are not | :22:34. | :22:38. | |
so rosy for Sunderland, they go to Loftus Road just one point and a | :22:38. | :22:42. | |
place above the relegation zone. The new boss says he knows he | :22:42. | :22:47. | |
cannot take too much time to settle in. Absolutely, it is the bottom | :22:47. | :22:51. | |
line of everything, to get ourselves into a decent position. | :22:51. | :22:57. | |
We have to start picking up points. I am the first one to say, there is | :22:57. | :23:02. | |
plenty of time, of course. Each game ticks along and it is another | :23:02. | :23:07. | |
one gone. As long as we get points on the board, we did well against | :23:07. | :23:11. | |
Blackburn. Our efforts against Tottenham is terrific and we need | :23:11. | :23:16. | |
to repeat that. Both games are on Match Of the Day | :23:16. | :23:20. | |
tonight. Hartlepool have two away games over | :23:20. | :23:25. | |
Christmas and New Year. They have lost their last eight home games, a | :23:25. | :23:29. | |
run which saw the head coach lose his job. | :23:29. | :23:32. | |
Now they need to show mental strength if they are to hit their | :23:32. | :23:36. | |
play-off target. Nicky Baron has known the glory | :23:36. | :23:40. | |
days with Hartlepool, captaining them to League One promotion in | :23:40. | :23:46. | |
2007. But he had to watch at the weekend as they went than to their | :23:46. | :23:50. | |
8th successive defeat at Victoria Park. What has gone wrong? It is | :23:50. | :23:55. | |
one of them runs we cannot put a finger on. We are desperate, of | :23:55. | :23:59. | |
course we are. We want to entertain the fans but we have not been able | :23:59. | :24:05. | |
to do that. We are working ever so hard to put it right, but so far we | :24:05. | :24:09. | |
cannot seem to put the ball in the net. Us they were trying to put | :24:09. | :24:13. | |
that right with shooting practice in the training session. But the | :24:13. | :24:17. | |
longer this run goes on, the players believe they cannot win at | :24:17. | :24:24. | |
home. It gets into the players' minds, and as they are about to | :24:24. | :24:30. | |
score they might snatch at it. It is our job to get them mentally | :24:30. | :24:35. | |
prepared for the Games as well as physically. Tried to get them | :24:35. | :24:42. | |
confident to go and score goals. Home gates are down as well. But | :24:43. | :24:47. | |
Hartlepool are 14th and their away form is good so with trips to a | :24:47. | :24:50. | |
Oldham and Sheffield United, you think they would be happy to spend | :24:50. | :24:57. | |
Christmas on the road. I would rather be an home -- at home to try | :24:57. | :25:03. | |
to end the bad run of form. If anybody said at the beginning of | :25:03. | :25:07. | |
the season this is where we would become I think we would be happy. | :25:07. | :25:11. | |
People are disappointed, but rightly so but we are determined to | :25:11. | :25:18. | |
get some results. Articled to a change of luck. I was | :25:18. | :25:22. | |
boring Geoff about my story of being too warm in bed! | :25:22. | :25:27. | |
It is the winter solstice tomorrow the shortest day. Seven hours and | :25:27. | :25:32. | |
10 minutes of daylight. It is not feeling much like winter at the | :25:32. | :25:42. | |
:25:42. | :25:43. | ||
Overnight it is mostly dry in the east. Cloudy in the West with rain | :25:43. | :25:47. | |
and it is foggy over the hills. Mild everywhere and the low | :25:47. | :25:53. | |
temperature no less than around nine Celsius. Just to put that into | :25:53. | :25:56. | |
context, higher than the average daytime maximum temperature for | :25:57. | :26:03. | |
mid-to-late December. Once again we will be warm, and it is a mild day | :26:03. | :26:09. | |
to come tomorrow. Bright spells in the east, particular for the North | :26:09. | :26:14. | |
Yorkshire coast and up the north coast as well. In the West it is | :26:14. | :26:22. | |
gloomy and grey. 12 Celsius is the top temperature of. It is more like | :26:22. | :26:32. | |
:26:32. | :26:33. | ||
an October. We expect more six or seven. As we go West, it is a wet | :26:33. | :26:40. | |
for much of Cumbria by teatime. It is mild into Friday and a spell of | :26:40. | :26:47. | |
wet weather crosses the regions. It clears first thing on Christmas | :26:47. | :26:51. | |
leave and it is bright and fine for much of the North East and | :26:51. | :26:55. | |
particularly for parts of North Yorkshire, it will be very pleasant | :26:55. | :26:59. | |
for those last-minute Christmas shopping trips. As we get to the | :26:59. | :27:04. | |
big day itself, it is not going to be a white Christmas. Not white | :27:04. | :27:12. | |
with snow, it could be white with cloud. Christmas Day is very mild. | :27:12. | :27:22. | |
:27:22. | :27:23. | ||
It could be breezy. Definitely, no Snow for Christmas Day this year. | :27:23. | :27:28. |
