Gateshead goalkeeper Pete Jameson speaks of his surprise after scoring from his own box in his side’s 2-1 defeat to Harrogate.

Pete said to the club’s media: “Yeah, very similar to Friday. We’ve conceded late again. Sucker punch that again because I thought first off it was very tough with the conditions and we’ve defended really well.

“Second half we’ve had little bit more joy coming out attacking wise. But yeah, the lads defensively did do really well again. They did. We’ve just been sucker-punched.”

Interviewer: “Yeah, you mentioned that it sounds like a lot more even speaking to the gaffer as well that it’s much more of a positive front on that defensive side like you say, obviously you’ve had the the sort of late corner obviously the first goal stuck a bit of a deflection and whizzed past here but obviously for you know what 95% of the game lads are dealt pretty much superbly with balls going in the box obviously a few saves as well.”

Pete: “Yeah, no, no the back four brilliant, being brilliant even on Friday like there’s no I can’t have a go or shout or scream because everyone’s been brilliant. The lads in midfield, work their socks off so they protect us really well. So yeah, just I said, heartbreak conceding that late one at the end again.”

Interviewer: “Yeah, I mean, I suppose the result kind of takes a bit of the shine off your goal as well a little bit. I mean, I doubt you woke up this morning expecting to score. You mentioned the conditions. Obviously, the winds just kind of took it as well. But obviously a strange one for you because like you said, in normal circumstances, it’d be one that you’d look back on with like the fond memories but obviously I suppose the result kind of takes a little bit off that as well.”

Pete: “Yeah, massively obviously like as a goalkeeper you’re expecting to score so like I’d rather have three points and be going on the bus back home.

“So yeah, really mixed emotions in that sense obviously I’ve never scored before but yeah it would have been nice because we’ve had a great travel and support day for them to go back but yeah we’ve got to dust ourselves down and go again on Saturday now.”

Interviewer: “And you mentioned the travelling support as well. I don’t know exactly what the number was in terms of the fans that came here today, but obviously a couple of stands in the corner making noise throughout the game, even when it’s gone 2-1 at the end of the game, they’re making noise. Obviously they’re singing your name for quite a lot of it as well after the goal.”

Pete: “Yeah, no, honestly, fantastic. Like the support’s been brilliant. Always singing, like could hear them behind us in the first half there, giving us some rally crying, like keeping the ball out the back of our nets. So brilliant, honestly. It means a lot to me and the lads as well. So, yeah. We stick together as a club and we go again on Saturday.”

Interviewer: “Yeah, and you mentioned sticking together. How do you move forward now, obviously, to Saturday and another big game, obviously another one at home. But how do you look ahead to that? I suppose to try and put behind that kind of frustration of Friday and today behind you as well.”

Pete: “Yeah, we’ll obviously we’ll review the game and we’ll go through it because there’s good bits and then there’s bits where we can be better at and then try and move that into training next week and make sure that it’s a positive week of training and that we’re improving as a team, as a collective, hopefully that will go well for us going forward.”
