:00:37. > :00:47.On tonight's programme: We reflect on Paolo Di Canio. And we report on
:00:47. > :00:47.
:00:47. > :00:55.Gateshead's nomadic period away from the stadium. Good evening for
:00:55. > :01:02.the final word on one of Europe's most fiercely contested rivalries,
:01:02. > :01:09.we are and joined by Mickey the AA and Olivia Gurnard. We will hear
:01:09. > :01:18.from them after we hear from both managers following a momentous day
:01:18. > :01:28.in the life of Paolo Di Canio. was great because when you work so
:01:28. > :01:30.
:01:31. > :01:35.hard you are happy if you can get this result. I know people feel
:01:35. > :01:40.this derby all the way around the world it is important. I am happy
:01:40. > :01:50.for my players because today they were Warriors, they gave everything
:01:50. > :01:55.on the field. They had all the energy for the fans. I was excited
:01:55. > :02:02.to see them celebrate because I know what it means to win at Derby
:02:02. > :02:07.away from home. I thought the looked fresh and sharp. Almost from
:02:07. > :02:13.the outset we looked tired from other efforts this week. As much as
:02:13. > :02:18.we tried to get some energy out there from our players it was not
:02:18. > :02:24.to be. In the second half I thought we were better and the crucial
:02:24. > :02:31.moment in the game was the 60th minute. When that was ruled offside
:02:31. > :02:36.it was the leg up we need. You are surprised the different energy
:02:36. > :02:44.levels you can get with at goal but then there was another call at the
:02:44. > :02:54.other end and it was over. This is my second suit. The first one not
:02:54. > :03:04.just because I fell down. It was difficult. You can imagine. I am
:03:04. > :03:05.
:03:05. > :03:12.too old. At 20 yards I fell down and celebrated. I did enjoy.
:03:12. > :03:22.normally pay around �200 for a pair of trousers like that. They did
:03:22. > :03:23.
:03:23. > :03:29.what you did 20 years ago. I think 1966 was the biggest result ever. I
:03:29. > :03:33.was worried when they went to St James' Park today. I feared the
:03:33. > :03:39.worst but they came out the traps today. Paolo Di Canio and said they
:03:39. > :03:43.were Warriors and you have to agree. They thoroughly deserved that win.
:03:43. > :03:48.He will be relieved because I expect he has been puffing his
:03:48. > :03:54.chest out and being confident but secretly, inside, he does not know
:03:54. > :04:00.exactly how he will fit into Premier League football. He will be
:04:00. > :04:06.happier than anyone tonight. Absolutely. To play your first game
:04:06. > :04:12.away is difficult. He achieved big today. Newcastle did not play well
:04:12. > :04:18.enough in my opinion but hopefully they can bounce back. Fitness was
:04:18. > :04:23.an issue. They were sharper from the off. A lot of managers will
:04:23. > :04:30.turn around when they go into a new football club and say the players
:04:30. > :04:35.are not fit enough. I did not buy that going into today. There was so
:04:35. > :04:39.much power and it filtered through to the fans. They were like the
:04:39. > :04:49.12th man today. Players who have not been playing well were
:04:49. > :04:49.
:04:49. > :04:54.fantastic. I was there watching the game. It was fantastic. The games -
:04:54. > :04:59.- balls themselves as well. The first was a great finish. The
:04:59. > :05:07.second and third, I was actually working at the game today and I
:05:07. > :05:13.could not keep my cool with a third one! Do we put it all down to Paolo
:05:13. > :05:18.Di Canio and the squad buying into him? We see what he is light and he
:05:18. > :05:23.is giving it all slaps and but certain more aged or experienced
:05:23. > :05:29.pros might see who is this chap slapping me around the chops but he
:05:29. > :05:35.has got great momentum. Of course, he has great energy on the sideline.
:05:35. > :05:44.It is all about him encouraging players. He did a great job today.
:05:44. > :05:49.I was a bit disappointed in Newcastle at times. Why is that,
:05:49. > :05:53.they changed five players. That is the problem with Europa League. You
:05:53. > :06:00.plea on the Thursday and then at the weekend to play Premier League
:06:00. > :06:08.football it is not enough time to recover. It is difficult. I think
:06:08. > :06:14.that game was one too many. We have had a tweet from a Newcastle fan
:06:14. > :06:19.who says Sunderland wanted it more it is that simple. Really? I do not
:06:20. > :06:24.believe that. I believe Newcastle looked heavy. They had hit the legs.
:06:24. > :06:32.I do not believe they had the power to overtake an overlap down the
:06:32. > :06:36.flank. It was really difficult to break Sunderland today. I think
:06:36. > :06:40.what the important thing is, you win those games in the dressing
:06:40. > :06:45.room before the game. When they crossed that quite lined the
:06:45. > :06:50.Sunderland players were ready for it. You get the first 15 minutes
:06:50. > :06:54.out of the way in a derby game. Sunderland were on the front foot,
:06:55. > :07:04.they made Newcastle make mistakes. That is where you get the goals
:07:05. > :07:05.
:07:05. > :07:12.from. The first half and second from. The first half and second
:07:12. > :07:22.half went along way to winning the Sunderland fans over. Let us look
:07:22. > :07:26.
:07:26. > :07:34.at the table. Do you think Newcastle are OK? They are a good
:07:34. > :07:41.side. They signed at few players in the winter and in terms of quality
:07:41. > :07:46.they are beer. They are now out of the Europa League so have a pool
:07:47. > :07:56.weekend to prepare for the weekend's game. That will give them
:07:57. > :07:57.
:07:57. > :08:02.good will to win on the next It is incredible we were sat here
:08:02. > :08:08.two Sundays ago. The psychological boost from that when is surely
:08:08. > :08:13.going to carry a Sunderland to safety? The have got momentum, the
:08:13. > :08:18.management back onside, the fans back onside, Everton at the weekend
:08:18. > :08:28.you can imagine what the stadium will be light. If they get a result
:08:28. > :08:32.
:08:32. > :08:37.beer imagine what it will be like for Paolo Di Canio. Brighton
:08:37. > :08:44.arrived at the Riverside having won just one game in their last seven
:08:44. > :08:54.matches. The best chance of the first half fell to Richard small
:08:54. > :09:02.
:09:02. > :09:12.wood. His shot well held by the Middlesbrough it could offer little
:09:12. > :09:22.in reply. Then there was a finish of the highest quality. Worryingly
:09:22. > :09:29.
:09:29. > :09:39.for Tony Mowbray's side the defeat leaves them closer to be likelihood
:09:39. > :09:54.
:09:54. > :10:00.Teesside is quite a distance and this man's journey from feeding
:10:00. > :10:09.cows at his father's Farm to coming face to face with Wayne Rooney has
:10:09. > :10:18.been a great story. It was a Premier League debut against Wolves
:10:18. > :10:24.at Old Trafford. The 25-year-old has already played for 10 clubs. He
:10:24. > :10:28.signed from newly relegated Doncaster Rovers. I always had the
:10:28. > :10:33.desire to be discovered but you do think you are playing at non-League
:10:33. > :10:38.grounds and you think you will come to watch that? Even if you did have
:10:38. > :10:41.a good game it might go unnoticed but I have always been a strong
:10:41. > :10:51.believer that if you are good enough you will get their whatever
:10:51. > :10:53.
:10:53. > :10:59.you do. I always kept the faith and never got too worried. When I was
:10:59. > :11:04.living at home, my dad is a farmer so I Figg the cows in the morning
:11:04. > :11:09.before training. It frustrates me to see kids at the Academy who do
:11:09. > :11:14.not quite appreciate all the have got, all these facilities, great
:11:14. > :11:18.coaching and a chance to move up into the first team without having
:11:19. > :11:25.to go on a difficult journey outside of the club. I think when
:11:25. > :11:28.you have come from non-league you step into different stadiums,
:11:28. > :11:33.different Changing Rooms, meet international players and play
:11:33. > :11:39.alongside them, it makes you proud and feels like you have come quite
:11:39. > :11:47.a long way. Award full run of two wins since the turn of year has
:11:47. > :11:54.seen his team slip away from the promotion places. A few of us dip
:11:54. > :12:00.in form and have given away a few cheap goals. I used to get quite
:12:00. > :12:10.down about it but if we lose or if I am at fault for a goal or we
:12:10. > :12:14.concede a goal it ruins my weekend. To add to the problem this man has
:12:14. > :12:20.now suffered an injury that will keep him out for the rest of the
:12:20. > :12:25.season. It is a normal hamstring injury. I think I did a sprint back
:12:25. > :12:31.against Peterborough and then had a chance to go forward and as I was
:12:31. > :12:41.mid stride I felt a path and I had a chance the end of the season. My
:12:41. > :12:41.
:12:41. > :15:14.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 152 seconds
:15:14. > :15:23.$:/STARTFEED. He is he is going to join us in the studio over the next
:15:23. > :15:30.few weeks. He is a great guy and he told us all about the farm he was
:15:30. > :15:35.going to bring us in some organic eggs. Full credit to him. If you
:15:35. > :15:41.are watching we will expect everything. He said young players
:15:41. > :15:51.have never had it so good, do you think he is right? Is it a stark
:15:51. > :15:51.
:15:51. > :16:56.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 152 seconds
:16:56. > :16:59.They should consider going back to the olden days. It worries me what
:16:59. > :17:09.kind of human beings they are bringing through rather than actual
:17:09. > :17:19.footballers. It is a discussion for another day! 650 footballers it is
:17:19. > :17:27.
:17:27. > :17:33.embarrassing. Eight points. They are on a serious slog. The long-
:17:33. > :17:40.term damage this does to a Gary who is definitely reviewed on Teesside,
:17:40. > :17:47.the fans will be turning with a run like that. It is a bit of a shame
:17:47. > :17:54.when you look at the team. They were top near Christmas. They were
:17:54. > :18:00.merely going up. That's what must be bereft of confidence. It must be
:18:00. > :18:05.a horrible place to be at the moment. Definitely, the dressing
:18:05. > :18:15.room must be down. To come out of that environment must be difficult.
:18:15. > :18:23.
:18:23. > :18:31.You get to the point you do not want to be involved. The confidence
:18:31. > :18:36.takes such a hit, where do you get that back from? It is up to Tony
:18:36. > :18:41.and his coaching staff. They do not deserve to go on holiday. They
:18:41. > :18:51.should will stay behind throughout the summer. Here is our reporter
:18:51. > :18:54.
:18:54. > :19:01.with all the action from leap one recently but it could prove too
:19:01. > :19:07.little too late. The on-loan Boro defender was judged to have held
:19:07. > :19:13.back by his man in the area. The decision seemed harsh on Rovers but
:19:13. > :19:23.they seemed do have recovered when the penalty was saved by the keeper
:19:23. > :19:25.
:19:25. > :19:30.only for the ball to get knocked 10. There was another foul in the box.
:19:30. > :19:37.Andy Robinson's spot kick was wonderfully saved giving Hartlepool
:19:37. > :19:45.their first clean sheet away from home all season. And a precious
:19:45. > :19:52.three points. The threat of the relegation has lifted for Carlisle.
:19:52. > :19:55.Here they were going for their third league win in at all. This
:19:55. > :20:01.Preston man shrugged off three Carlisle defenders to give the away
:20:01. > :20:09.side the lead after just 12 minutes. The Cumbrians were draw level
:20:09. > :20:15.before the break with this falling kindly for Lee Miller. He
:20:15. > :20:22.registered his 8th goal of the season. And a second yellow card
:20:22. > :20:30.for this challenge saw a second yellow-card and then there were 35
:20:30. > :20:36.minutes to make the extra man count. A winner was almost forced with
:20:36. > :20:42.these two late efforts saved but the Cumbrians were forced to settle
:20:42. > :20:51.for a point. The result leaves Carlisle in a relatively healthy
:20:51. > :21:01.position in League 1. Hartlepool are now five points from safety but
:21:01. > :21:08.Hartlepool could still be relegated. Northampton boasted the best home
:21:08. > :21:15.record in the top four positions. It seemed a big ask for or Nigel
:21:16. > :21:19.Worthington's side but the upset was on after just seven minutes.
:21:19. > :21:24.The Northampton keeper perhaps should have done better but sooner
:21:24. > :21:32.are redeemed himself tipping over this effort to prevent York from
:21:32. > :21:38.doubling their lead. At the other end the keeper was kept just as
:21:38. > :21:44.busy as the your defence held firm. The resilience would be a awarded
:21:44. > :21:50.when Blair broke free and John Johnson turned his cross into his
:21:50. > :22:00.own net. The result brings an end to Northampton's 10 match winning
:22:00. > :22:01.
:22:01. > :22:11.run. Your move up three places to 20th in the League 2 table. York
:22:11. > :22:16.
:22:16. > :22:22.now have two games left to secured Carlisle will play in League 1 for
:22:22. > :22:28.yet another season I think that is a great achievement. I have to
:22:28. > :22:32.agree with you. It has been a disappointing season from their
:22:32. > :22:38.point of view but they are still in there. They are working hard and
:22:38. > :22:43.getting their rewards. I suppose for Hartlepool Tranmere have been
:22:43. > :22:49.up near the top for most of the season, they have had a very bad
:22:49. > :22:52.blip but to beat them is what might have been, isn't it? They are a
:22:53. > :22:58.quality winning team and the fact that the when can give them a
:22:58. > :23:07.little boost and may be looking forward to next season, this season
:23:07. > :23:17.has not been the best and they have proved that they can make the
:23:17. > :23:24.
:23:24. > :23:31.difference. We Johnson playing his dad's team. We should have a word
:23:31. > :23:39.about your. Fantastic, you have got to say that, it looks like they
:23:39. > :23:49.will be safe. If they can start the season like finishing this one they
:23:49. > :24:04.
:24:04. > :24:08.Back in November, Gateshead were comfortably placed in the top eight
:24:08. > :24:13.but severe drainage problems at the International Stadium have meant a
:24:13. > :24:18.nomadic existence in recent months playing home games away from home
:24:18. > :24:25.and along with a fixture backlog a steady slide towards the relegation
:24:25. > :24:29.zone has followed. Eight venues from home fixtures, including the
:24:29. > :24:35.FA Trophy game against borrow which should have been a home game, but
:24:35. > :24:43.we had to reverse it to their stadium. The months and left -- in
:24:43. > :24:49.exile have seen Gateshead play home matches and lots of places. As a
:24:49. > :24:57.result, attendances have dwindled from the 800 mark to as low as 227.
:24:57. > :25:04.It is difficult to find a ground without a fixture clash. We chose
:25:04. > :25:09.not to play on premier grounds. For example we could have played at
:25:09. > :25:13.Lincoln City, it is not different from Boston, but they are down at
:25:13. > :25:17.the bottom and they would have not -- it would not have been a good at
:25:17. > :25:23.it. Conference premier survival is needed to justify professional
:25:23. > :25:28.football at Gateshead. Winning Tuesday night's game against a
:25:28. > :25:34.court to be played at Hartlepool will keep the mark. Then the true
:25:34. > :25:39.cost counting can begin with much- needed pitch improvements to follow.
:25:39. > :25:44.It has been a steep learning curve. All a very receptive to that. We
:25:44. > :25:52.will not pick the bones out of it. From my perspective, it makes you a
:25:53. > :25:57.stronger person. Will we are counting the cost as we go. It
:25:57. > :26:06.seems to be forever as good a singer. It reminds me of Alan
:26:06. > :26:14.Sugar's quote about putting money in. You put it in and it goes
:26:14. > :26:18.straight out. Well, that a massive game at
:26:18. > :26:24.Victoria Park for Gateshead, if you can get along, their attendance is
:26:24. > :26:28.down to a quarter as it tried to get along and support them. Try to
:26:28. > :26:34.help them get the winner. You know the two guys there, you know Alan
:26:34. > :26:37.Smith, and you know David Rush as well. I wish them well. They've got
:26:37. > :26:40.that you'd game at Stockport but I think that one when will keep them
:26:40. > :26:45.why they are which will be great for them. All that travelling
:26:45. > :26:50.around, it must be taking its toll. I mean, eight venues this season.
:26:50. > :26:57.What effect will that have on team and squat dynamics? People must be
:26:57. > :27:02.weary. It is tiring for your mental strength, it is tiring for your
:27:02. > :27:11.legs, it is difficult. Playing you don't even know where you are
:27:11. > :27:16.supposed to train and play on that We can week in and week out. It is
:27:16. > :27:20.quite tough and I wouldn't like to be in that situation. Actually,
:27:20. > :27:25.performance was, you aren't able to train because you are spending so
:27:25. > :27:31.much time going up and down the motorway. They went to Boston. That
:27:31. > :27:39.is going to have an inner extra police -- and inextricably linked
:27:39. > :27:43.affect. The problem is the fans as well. There is not that many fans
:27:43. > :27:49.who can travel. It is a home game, but playing at home and there is
:27:49. > :27:55.not that many fans who can go to Hartlepool. It is a really awkward
:27:55. > :28:01.situation for the fans and the players. And you are losing the
:28:01. > :28:04.sort of home advantage, too. You are actually losing that home
:28:04. > :28:09.support. You can understand the difficulties of the fans travelling
:28:09. > :28:13.to all of these games which is why they have lost so many. For a side
:28:13. > :28:17.like Gateshead, you need that bad for fans and you've got to keep a
:28:18. > :28:22.hold of them for as long as you can. Fellows, really enjoyed it tonight.
:28:22. > :28:28.I appreciate you joining us. We leave you with a trip down memory
