RACE NIGHT AT THE WILSON
The Race Night was a big success on Friday 30th March, raising money for injured player Andl Lee and the club. Thanks to all who sponsored, contributed, organised and attended.
FINAL STILL UNDECIDED
Following all the hype and build up to our Cup Final against League Champions Winlaton West End, it all ended a bit sureal with the match getting abandoned after 41 minutes following a bad break to a Winlaton player. The break has been confirmed as tibia, fibia and ankle - and while the tackle was late, and certainly a foul, it was not meant in any malicious way. Will Rantoul was sent off for the challenge, with The Wilson trainling 1-0 at the time, the goal having been scored by the player who was later injured.
Up until then, it was a good game with both sides competing well, but unfortunately we dont know as yet when (or even if) the game will be replayed.
The folwoing week, a scratch Wilson played Winlaton in the league, and with a bare 12 men, including a first start for Scotty following a broken ankle early in the season, and Stu Bow who is also injured. Degs Hanvey playing his last league game before retiring from The Wilson also got injured and played most of the match with only one arm - not great when you are in goal. As a result we lost 6-1 with Boppa Robson getting the consolation, before West End received the trophy for winning the league.
News of the end of season trip ......SHEFFIELD!
WARDLEY WE DO NOW
TWFC 0 - 4 Wardley
The Wilson effectively went out of the newly designed Subsidiary Cup at the first hurdle, despite it being a league format. Rumours that Wardley have now won three out of three and are therefore through are not yet confirmed, but its hard to see us coming back after this. With the big final in a couple of weeks, players were rested and tried in different positions, but the performance was still poor. Next up our old foes The Stormont Main.
SIX OF ONE, HALF A DOZEN OF THE OTHER
Waldridge Park 6 - 6 TWFC
A game that swung one way then the other saw us behind in the first half, twice two goals to the good in the second half, and eventually conceed two in the last ten minutes to draw in a 12 goal thriller.
Goals from Doughty (2), Ginger Croan (2), Rantoul with his first touch and Craig Howlett should have been enough for all 3 points, but alas it was not to be. See match report in NEWS for full report.
APRIL FOOLS
TWFC 2 - 3 Norwood
The day started with manager Bazz Hindmarch notifying the team that due to an illegable player being listed amongst the subs for the semi-final, the club had been thrown out of the final and replaced by Waldridge. The silence was defeaning!
Secondly Hindmarch pointed out that it was April 1st and waited for the penny to drop!!!
The game itself saw a 13 man Wilson squad (including injured Craig Howlett, so 12 really) against an 11 man entourage from Norwood. Howlett went as linesman on their side of the pitch, and looked extremely pissed off about it.
After a goal-less first half, with Ginger hitting their bar, he gave us the lead in the second half after good work from Gary Rayne. A long range effort, then a lob over Degsy put them 2-1 up. Gary had a 'goal' chalked off for an unlucky handball, before Grumpy Richie Willoughbooby (a sub) got in a mix up with Doughty, and it was 3-1. Doughty had a shot stopped with a hand on the line and saw their full back red carded before Will Rantoul stepped up to score from the spot. But that was it, a 3-2 defeat.
GDSL League 1 Cup Semi-Final
THOMAS WILSON 2 v 1 WALDRIDGE
"If you're gonna be a bear - be a Grizzly!"
The Thomas Wilson deservedly beat 3rd place Waldridge in the semi final of the cup to give the team a shot at silverware. Waldridge took the lead in the first half, but apart from the goal didnt make many chances. In the second half The Wilson stepped up their game, and dominated for long periods. The equaliser came when Will Rantoul's corner was flicked on and Rudi Nellis hooked in a spectacular goal at the back post.
The winner came after Boppa Robson won the ball and released Rantoul who played the ball back to Boppa to score from 8 yards. From then the result was never in doubt, and in the dying minutes both Craig Howlett and Rantoul clipped the visitors crossbar.
The final is scheduled for Wrekenton Blue Star on 22 April against Winlaton West End who beat Wardley by 3-2.
Division 1
KEEL HAULED
TWFC 0 - 4 Keel Boat
The Wilson were sunk by lowly Keel Boat on a day when it simply all went pear-shaped. A disasterous way to prepare for a semi-final, but on the other hand, the team now has something to prove, and where better to do it than in a cup semi?
Wardley Wup Wilson
TWFC 3 - 5 Wardley
Disappointing results against our old sparring partners from across the Felling By-Pass. There were no punch ups this time, no arrests, no police presence, and strangely, no problems with habitual muttonhead Nobby, who must be getting too old for getting slapped. Not-so-fat-anymore Stef lewandowski returned between the sticks as Degsy had a sore arse, and he managed to punch one into his own net, and got wound up in the club later on, biting at suggestions he was to blame for all five goals!!
Mickey Henderson also started, shoring up a back line and conceeding 5, so really not much difference there then! Rudi scored a belter past former Wilson keeper Mark Thompson who had a good game, and Will Rantoul won and scored two penalties, despite Boyley's attempt to steal the second one from him as he was lying down taking a rest.
Andy Wilson, "fresh" from a drinking session that saw Danio Clark not even turn up, ended up on his hands and kness by the side of the road after the match barfing up last nighs Sambucas and Champagne! Bewie Armstrong ran over the road to get a stray ball and slipped, landing on his butt in the middle of the oncoming traffic. Sadly, all of the cars missed him!
Holme and Away
Holmeside 3 - 3 TWFC
Another match where we seemed intent on losing, then decided not to, made a comeback, gave it away, then came back again. 2-0 down by half time thanks to slack marking and Johnny Larkin handing a gift to the opposition for the second game running, a spirited fight back was on in the second half.
First Lee Boyle's corner was headed in by new boy Andy Wilson, the Ratboy Boyle himself stroked a left foot shot in to equalise. A bonkers tackle in our box by Gary Rain-Man Rayne gave the home side, The Holmeside a penalty which they duly scored, but then Fozzie Foster was tripped in the box, gave a ludicrous dive and won a penalty. Up stepped the unlikely Mr Boyle to slot away the spot kick, and earn a share of the points.
Things of note this week - Danny Cuthbert calling one of their players "a yogurt" and so winning the Tart-of-the-Week award, Holmeside's full back who was about 12 and sported a mighty afro, Rudi Nellis getting another kicking that night in Newcastle, and Danio Clark getting depressed as an unused sub, and despite his best efforts to get stripped and on the pitch, having to watch Boyley take over his position as penalty taker for this week at least.
In the league this season we have now won 5, drew 5 and lost 5, averaging 2 goals scored and 3 conceded per game.
Late Late Show
TWFC 4 - 3 Shakespeare
This week we had pre-match entertainment in the form of a boxing match between Bewey The Bomber and Rocky Ronnie. In truth it was no Rumble in the Jungle, more Tinkle in the Toilet, with a lot of posturing and air punches. Still, it briefy livened up the warm up, if only slightly.
To the game itself and The Wilson made hard work of what looked like being an easy three points at one stage. An early goal from "rebel" Rudi Nellis was pegged back when Craig Howlett gave a penalty away. Degs Hanvey saved the spot kick, but the away side reacted quicker and equalised from the rebound. Gary Rayne was then fouled to give us a spot kick which Danio Clark tucked away. It was 3-1 before half time before when Bewey The Bomber crossed for Scott Fozzie Foster to head home his first goal since his return to the club.
The second half seemed to be a cruise, with Andy Thomas Wilson (honest) having a good debut in midfield, and Paul Laidlaw coming on as sub to make his debut too. But, in the last fifteen minutes the Shakey pulled one back, then an uncharacteristic mistake by Johnny Larkin allowed an equaliser. The game seemed to be heading for a draw when Willoughby's free kcik was flicked on, and sub Mark Henry scored at the back post.
Other points of note were John Doughty knocking himself out in the net, while scoring a 'goal' which was disallowed, and the return of Jamie Nicholson, though this was due to him getting smashed the night before, breaking his phone and losing his keys and having to sleep at Danio's house!
Also, the semi final of the cup has been drawn, and we have Waldridge at home.
Globe 3 - 0 TWFC
It's good to see the lads all had a good christmas and New Year, just a shame that they all seemed to still be hungover when we went out aginst the Globe, a team we have beaten three time previously this season. 2-0 down after only four minutes, it was not going to be our day, and with only one shot on target all game, it was a match to forget.
The only things of note were Lee Boyle's new orange boots with LEEB embroidered on the side, and Peter Henderson getting so bored in the second half that he went to the Co-op in his shorts and boots to get a sandwich!!
Nil-Nilla with The Villa
TWFC 0 - 0 Grange Villa
There's a scoreline you don't see too often on a Sunday morning, but it could have been different but for moments of bad luck and bad shooting. Rudi Nellis fired a volley which rebounded off the underside of the crossbar and back into play. There weren't really any goal appeals, but it was a great strike. Then, in the last minute, Brett Hogan (on as a sub for normal penalty taker Danio Clark) was fouled, then dragged the resulting spot kick wide of the goal. D'oh!
The Villa also had their stroppy full back sent off (he was subbed in a previous game against us to save him from the ref/our players), and physio Danny Cuthbert gave him a flea in his ear as he trudged off with the words, "F*** of you in-bred sheep f***er". Singe of The Villa claims the lad has never had intercourse of any kind with a sheep, it was in fact a goat, and it was a consenting thing between two adults in love!
INJURY BLOW TAKES EDGE OFF WIN
TWFC 2 - 1 Globe
A game spoilt by a sickening double broken leg to winger Andy Lee in the dying minutes of the match, was won by The Wilson thanks to the deadly spot kicking of Danio Clark. A penalty in either half, split by a Globe penalty conceded by new skipper Scott Wilson was enough to clinch the points. A handball and a foul on Gary Rayne won us the chances which Clark tucked away for his 4th and 5th successful spot kicks of the season.
Lee was fouled with about 5 minutes to go and the match was ended so he could receive treatment, first from the paramedic, then the ambulane crew which took him to the QE where a fibia and tibia break was confirmed.
Andy also got the Tart Of The Week award. When asked by the blonde lady paramedic if we was allergic to anything when she was about to administer pain killers, he replied "Yes, wasps." As the lads burst into laughter, the paramedic said "Well I'm not going to put a wasp in you, am I?"
ONCE MORE UNTO THE BREACH
Shakespeare 4-4 TWFC
After three successive defeats, The Wilson fought back to get a point at lowly Shakespeare. This looked unlikely after 30 minutes when The Wilson was 3-0 down and facing another humiliation,but a hard fouhgt fightback saw Andy Lee then Mark Croan pull a couple back, before The Shakey scored again to go in at half time leading 4-2. In the second half, goals by Will Rantoul, and one which went down as Howlett in the team sheet, but was an own goal claimed by Henry and Rantoul, enabled us to nick a point.
The game also saw the return of Brett Hogan after a year out with injury and Paul Jamieson, months out through general laziness!
Jubilee 14 (fourteen) - 2 TWFC
The Wilson suffered it's heaviest defeat in over 20 years at the weekend, as they were humiliated by Felling Jubilee, a side we drew with earlier in the campaign. Fair enough, we were short on numbers with injured Stu Bowman having to go in goal, and Degs Hanvey playing out, and we only kicked off with ten men. Andy Lee eventually found us though, and we were back to eleven vs eleven.
The first embarrassment came after 5 seconds when they scored without us even touching the ball, and it was 3-0 at half time, with us still in with a shout. A second half capitulation saw us concede eleven goals (that's a goal every four minutes!) as well as conceding two penalties - luckily neither was converted to spare us from further pain. Consolation goals from Croan and Nellis was simply not good enough. So much for our great defensive record this season.
IT'S ALL GONE PEAR SHAPED
TWFC 0 - 5 Winlaton West End
TWFC 0 - 1 Pear Tree (Bob Curry Cup)
Two defeats in eight days, no goals scored, and knocked out of a cup. It sounds pretty bad put that way, but when you consider that in both games we were down to 10 men in the first half against the league leaders, and a Premier league team respectively it's maybe not so bad.
Against Winlaton, Will Rantoul was forced in at sweeper, yet for some reason thought he had changed sports, not just positions, and proceeded to catch the ball while last man and subsequently was handed a red card. Winlaton didnt break down our ten men until in the second half, but then their extra man and superiority saw them to a flattering 5-0 win.
This week, we could only muster a bare 11 men against opposition from a leagu above us. They scored early on, and when Peter Henderson was forced off through injury on the half hour mark things look bad. The lads dug in though, and could even have snatched something at the end when Danny Clark swung a left leg and miss-kicked, then Rudi Nellis headed over the bar when it was probably easier to score.
The injury list now is : Peter Simmons (Achilles from pre-season), John Larkin (ligaments - possible op needed), Stu Bowman (groin - after Xmas), Peter Henderson (ankle - return unknown), Jason Scott (ankle - return unlikely), Michael Henderson (ribs - after Xmas), Liam Robson (thigh - op possibly needed). Also missing for vaious reasons have been Craig Howlett, Stef Lewandowski, Danny Morris, Gary Rayne, and the departing Liam Pearson.
Happy Halloween
TWFC 5 - 1 Globe
The Wilson marched into the cup semi final with a comprehensive win against The Globe. The home side dominated the first half in one of the best 45 mins of football played in a while. Goals from Craig Howling Howlett, William the Ghoul Rantoul and Mark Creepy Crawley Croan sent us in at half time with a foot in the semi, but the second half was a tighter affair as we took our foot off the gas a bit. Gary Ripper Rayne added a rare headed goal and sub Andy Lizardman Lee finished the game with a great solo effort. A converted rebound following Derek Horror Hanvey' save from a free kick was The Globes only consolation.
Keel Boat 1 - 4 TWFC
Clark's Commandoes
For those of you too young to recognise the headline's reference, that is what a really popular pair of kids shoes was called way back in the day. A bit crap really, but did the job. A bit like our performance on Sunday - not great, but did the job. It all seemed to be going well when Craig Howlett scored early on, but we let our lowly opposition back into the game before half time. Clark came off the bench late on and sscored two penalties (after scoring a similar goal last week). He also fell on his fat butt scoring the second, and as he said later, the 7.1 earthquake caused by the fall caused massive damage in Turkey! Rantoul, also a sub won one pen, as did Croaney. Jigsaw Rayne got the fourth goal late on, and has now scored three this season all ready! Moving on up the league, with a long way to go and games in hand.
 .
We also made the Evening Chronicle on 22nd Oct, complete with full team photo (of those who turned up on time) and headlined the League write up.
TWFC 3 - 0 Holmeside
A morale boosting win against one of the teams relegated from the top division last season, saw the Wilson move two places up the league, with games in hand on most other clubs. Ginger Croan openend the scoring at the end of the first half, Craig Howlett nodded in his first for the club in the second, before sub Danio Clark won and converted a penalty late on. Richie Willa missed the game due to facebook misdameanours, Scott Wilson was still suspended so got his foot tattooed because he knew he wouldn't be using it, and our walking wounded included Not-So-Fat-Anymore Stef and Mickey Henderson who doesn't seem to know what he is doing these days.
Stormont Main 6 - 0 TWFC
One of the worst performances in a long time saw us thrashed by the upstarts from up the hill. A goal down within the first minute set the tone, and seemingly every time a not-great Main side attacked they scored. They even managed to score when we were attacking, twice breaking from our free kicks to score. Croany missed a penalty, Scotty got sent off, and later discovered he has a broken ankle which will see him out for a long time, possible for good. A very bad day at the office!
TWFC 1 - 1 Felling Jubilee
A hard fought point from a battling performance against one of the season's early pace setters. Liam Boppa Robson scored a towering (?) header to put us in the lead, and while the Jubilee had plenty of possession, they were mainly reduced to long range efforts, but managed to scramble an equaliser in during the second half to gain a point. A win for us would have prompted the headlin "Luvverly Jubilee". As it is you are spared that!
Globe 2 - 3 Thomas Wilson
Yet again this season, the fighting qualities of The Wilson showed through, as we came back from 2-0 in the Bob Curry Cup, to win 3-2. Mark Henry and Lee Boyle hauled us back into the game before half time then Mark Croan scored an overhead winner late on. The final word though goes to Not-as-fat-anymore Stef Lewandowski who saved a stoppage time penalty in his first game of the season.
The quality in depth of the squad showed again with Scott and Henderson coming into centre of defence, as well as Boppa Robson coming into left midfield.
Two games in a week and four well deserved points. A 2-2 draw at Wardley, with goals from Croan and a penalty from Rantoul got us the point, then another away trip to Washington to play Steps saw a 4-1 victory. Goals from Jigsaw Rayne, Croan, Nellis and a first goal for the club from Lee Boyle got us the points, though once again it was a fine team display.
This weekend it's The Globe away in The Bob Curry Cup. That will be five games in a row away from home this season.
After the game, there will be a bit of a pub crawl for Scotty's 60th birthday, starting at the Wilson, and ending up in Wrekenton.
Wilson Boxing Club Big Success
The Thomas Wilson Karate Kid Academy is now open for business. So far only John Doughty has taken up the offer of two free lessons of hand to hand combat with our team of Girl Guides - to be honest, he could have done better....
 
See what happens when you cross The Gaffa !!!!
Breaking News - Usworth Club have resigned from the league after two matches, losing both and conceding 16 goals in the process. Therefore our game on Sunday 28th Aug is cancelled, and we are throughto the next round of the 1st Divison Cup on a bye.
Nor Way Back For Wilson
Norwood 3 - 2 TWFC
Following the fine victory at Grange Villa, The Wilson came back to earth with a defeat at Dunston against improved Norwood. In a fast paced game both sides made chances but Norwood took the lead. Will Rantoul equalised with a header, but we went behind when Degs produced the first Hanvey Howler of the season and fumbled a weak header which went in off the post.
In the second half Scott Wilson got sent off following a kick then head to head confrontation, which saw the Norwood player go down like a sack of shite. I was expecting him to look like recently filled in John Doughty, but he recovered well enough to score to make it 3-1. We then got two penalties, the first screwed wide by the returning Rudi Nellis, and the second buried by Rantoul who now has three goals in two games. Johnny Larkin had to come off injured to add to the list of crocks (Dixon, Bowman, Doughty, Simmons, Lewandowski) which gave Lee Boyle his debut. Unfortunately time ran out and we went home pointless.
Thriller at the Villa
Grange Villa 1 - 3 TWFC
The first league game of the season saw The Wilson travel to Grange Villa, way up in the sticks where men are men and sheep are frightened. We have never won up at the Villa, so knew a tough game was likely. Both sides battled well and played some good football, but it was The Wilson who scored first, Ginger Mark Croan beautifully chipping the ball over the advancing keeper. In the second half the lead was doubled when Will Rantoul fired in a low shot from the edge of the box.
Villa got back in the game with a dubious penalty award, which was tucked away nicely, giving Degs Hanvey in goal no chance. The game was settled late on when debutant Andy Lee battled through and the ball broke to sub Danny Clark (no 'e') who rifled the ball into the top of the net.
As well as Andy Lee, manager Barry Hindmarch gave a competative debut to left back Scott Wilson, and the game also so the return to the club of Croan and Clarke ater a couple of sesons away.
Pre-season Fixtures
17 July Consett Cricketers 4 - 0 TWFC
31 July Stormont Main 3 v 1 TWFC (Blue Star pitch - Chapman Cup)
2 Aug (Tues) Gardeners Arms 4 v 5 TWFC
7 Aug Saltwell 1 v 2 TWFC
14 Aug Rutherfords 2 v 4 TWFC
Rutherford 2 - 4 TWFC
A battling performanceagainst Rutherford, though just like last pre-season, The Wilson needed a late comeback to get the win. Liam Robson opened the scoring with a great solo effort, beating three defenders before netting. Rutherford hit back though and scored to cracking goals, giving Not-Quite-So-Fat-Anymore Stef no chance in goal.
We looked like heading towards defeat, until Mark Henry, who had been subbed earlier game back on and managed a 15 minute hat-trick, including a last minute penalty (though being a bit dim, Henge thought it was a throw in!)
Saltwell 1 - 2 TWFC
The Wilson gained a great result against Premier League Saltwell Club in the Chapman Cup 3rd place play off. The moment of the game came when veteran defender Jason Scott controled the ball in his own half and volleyed the ball down the pitch and over the Saltwell keeper for a memorable goal. Scotty was so surprised he didn't know how to celebrate, but he doesn't score that many, so not surprising really.
Gardeners Arms 4 - 5 TWFC
A first pre-season win was set up by a barn storming opening 20 minutes. The Wilson took the ead when Mark Croan forced the ball home from close range, before right-back Liam "Boppa" Robson broke from his own half and unleashed a ferocious drive which left the Gardeners keeper flapping. A short corner between Doughty and Wilson saw Stu Bowman head home from eight yards, then on 18 minutes, Bowman's deflected shot made it 4-0. With over 20 players available on the day, substitutions meant The Wilson's play lost some of its flow, and the Gardeners pulled a goal back before half time.
In the second half, practically a whole new line up played, and for a while things got a bit heated between the two sides. This spurred the home side on, but Bowman completed his hat-trick from the penalty spot after a foul on Croan. The gardeners refused to give up, and pulled the scoreline back to 5-4 with three late goals, but The Wilson hung on to win in the end.
Unforunately there was more injury woe, with Dixon receiving a hamstring injury, and a clash of heads saw Neliis and later Mickey Henderson hospitalised with a broken nose and concussion respectively!
Stormont Main 3 - 1 TWFC
In the semi-final of the Darren Chapman Memorial Trophy, The Wilson failed to reach the final for the first time in the competitions history. In a first half largely dominated by The Stormont, it was The Wilson's failure to keep possession which ultimately let them down. A scrappy goal allowed The Stormont to take the lead, then a very dubious offside decision which wasn't given led to a Stormont second goal.
The Wilson improved in the second half, and played some good football on the huge Blue Star pitch, and a come back looked possible when John Doughty scuffed a right foot shot which wrong-footed the Stormont keeper and trickled in. The Stormont made the game safe though when debutant Peter "Pedro" Simmons turned a cross into his own net to make it 3-1. His misery was conpounded when he pulled up injured, and was later diagnosed as having a ruptured achilles.
Consett Cricketers 4 - 0 TWFC
The first game of the season saw us jump on the bus up to Consett in a day of blazing sunshine and downpours of biblical proportions. It almost went wrong from the start when driving through Birtley, manager Barry Hindmarch realised he'd forgotten to bring the strips. Luckily, Tony Hindmarch was near Washington and made a detour to pick them up.
In a well matched first half, against a very good Cricketers team, there was very little between the sides with only an error from Jay Scott gifting them a goal. 1-0 down at half time.
In the second half as tiredess and switching of players saw the team shape change, again it was errors by Liam Pearson and keeper Liam (too many Liams when you count Liam Robson as well) gave the game an unfair scoreline, and a last minute fourth made the result a bit flatering to the home side. Plaenty of positives from the game, with debuts for Richie "Cheesey II" and Lee Boyle, who should have scored late on, as should returning former player Ginger (now baldy) Croan.
Squad (all used) - Liam "Scott", Liam Pearson, Liam Robson, Jason Scott, Michael Henderson, Lee Boyle, Stuart Bowman, William Rantoul, Gary Rayne, David Dixon, Mark Croan, Richie "Cheesey", Danny Morris.
After the game it was back to The Cricketers pub for a couple of pint and a bit of pie and quiche. A good run out to start the build up to the league season.
Note - from now on there wil be training on Tuesdays and Thursdays at school/pitch.
2009-2010 REVIEW
So that's it then - another season over, and once again a disappointing league position, way below where we should be with our squad. Surely fifth bottom of the lower division is a huge under-achievement, but as the saying goes, the league table doesn't lie, so maybe we aren't as good as we think we are. A friendly loss to newly relegated Stormont Main summed up the season - we looked good, we controlled a lot of the game, yet we lost. Let's hope we have learned lessons this season, and can spend next year challenging for the title. Everything about the Thomas Wilson FC is geared for success. Off the field the club is run superbly by the comittee and supporters who raise funds, arrange everything and keep the club going. Time we started to match their off-field efforts on the pitch.

MANSFIELD - WE ARE COMING FOR YOU!!
The Wilson commitee is happy to announce that this year's trip will be back to Mansfield to stop at old favourite The Midland Hotel. Leave around 2pm on Friday 27th May, returning on Sunday 30th May, via some unsuspecting town on the way.
For more details go to http://www.midlandhotelmansfield.co.uk/index.html
TWFC 2 - 2 Coach & Horses
The final game of the season saw us gain a point, when really we deserved all 3. Leading 2-0 we managed to blow the game, not helped by Alan Proud blowing the whistle at inappropriate times. Rudi scored a great solo effort, and Boppa scored from 4 inches, and we could have sealed the game, but Gary Jogsaw Rayne hit the post then had one disallowed - sums up his season to be honest!!
We are trying to arrange a few frindlies to keep us going, then it's Mansfield in May for the annual trip away, visiting museums, art galleries and tea rooms for a bit of culture and polite conversation!
A nice little win against The Steps on the world's longest pitch at Biddick was just the tonic. I wish I had bet on the scorers though, as the odds of Rayne and Henry both scoring must have been massive. Still a bit short on numbers, though Doughty bothered to turn up and Mickey Henderson was relatively sober. One game left later this month, then we'll have a few freindlies to keep us ticking over ready for next seasons crack at the league and cup double!!
4 points in 3 weeks is not bad, considering we have played the Greencroft, Wardley and Grange Villa. A 3-3 draw with the Greencroft, then a 4-0 win against the Woolybacks, and a disappointing 1-0 reverse at Wardley keeps us solidly in mid-table with only three games remaining. Despite players missing, mainly through alcohol abuse, we have turned in some good perfomances this year, with only the Peartree game one to forget. William now is a midfielder, Rudi is now a striker, and Sam is now penalty taker. Even the two Henderson's turned up this week, although it was not considered a good idea to have them both on the pitch at the same time!
 Will I. Am. was enjoying calling the tune in midfield!
TWFC 0 - 7 Pear Tree
Once again, The Jeckyll & Hyde Thomas Wilson team showed that they can go from excellent to awful in seven days. A generally all-round poor showing, once agin showing that when we go a couple of goals down, we tend to fold like a stack of beermats. Players missing didnt help with Doughty, both Henderson's, Pearson, Rayne, and Larkin all missing for one reason or another. Tony "Tubbs" Cannell, usually on the bench got his first start of the season, - pity he was on the lash the night before as he wasn't expecting to play!! At least he did a job! One of the few positives from the performance.
One good thing was the return of The Gaffa to the sideline for a while in his Ironside Chariot being pushed by Minimin.
"The Wilson are getting beat, Dad!"
"Yeah, I know"
Coach & Horses 0 - 2 TWFC
Despite getting The Coach mixed up with The Stella in his pre-match gee-up talk, Bazz Hindmarch's team kept up their good start to 2011 with another clean sheet and 3 points. Mickey Henda was sober-ish this week, but still on the bench as Rantoul and Pearson replaced missing Beefdip and Doughty.
Boppa almost managed to miss his goal, and Rudi waited until the last minute to make the game safe, but The Wilson were good value for their win. High-flying Peartree at home, with the possiblity of The Gaffa turning up to watch a bit.
Division:
TWFC 5-0 Ravensdene
The opening game of 2011 saw The Wilson notch up an easy 5-0 win against The Ravensdene. Two for Doughty, and one each for Bowman, Nellis and Henry did the business. Notable absentees were Will Rantoul, and Mickey Henderson who was still smashed from the previous night, but at least he had the decency to bring a can of John Smith's by way of an apology.
We have been busy in the transfer market, signing Carl Mills from Wardley, the forms coming through on Thursday morning. Unfortunately Carl broke his ankle on Wednesday night, so the curse strikes again.
TWFC 1 -3 Winlaton West End
In the NW Durham Cup we came unstuck against the West End Girls for the 3rd ti
me this season. It was muddy, and I've had to wash the strips twice! Just so you know.
Liam Pearson turned up late after his facebook site was allegedly hacked again, "someone" saying he was signing for the Stormont Main. I rang the Stormont, and they don't want him apparently.
Rudi stayed at home this week, which is ok as he is suspended - unfortunately though he had all the subs kit, so our B Team looked like refugees from a South African township.
Sam McIntosh cheered everyone up in the club, after thinking the box where you put money for the snooker table light was actually a meter to work the tv !!
Brett Hogan injured his groin (badly) and took out his frustrations by cutting the toes out of a few players socks, Peter Henderson in particular looking like he had Fame legwarmers on!! I think he comes to my house at night, because my toes are always going through my socks.!
Sundays match looking dodgy with the Northumbria Centre's pitch waterlogged in summer, never mind after a few days snow! Keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for the stars!
Globe 1 - 5 TWFC
Back to winning ways with a win against a team tipped for the top at the start of the season. With the return of Degsy, Scotty and Sam the team looked much more composed on the ball. 2 goals from Mark Henry (compared to former Toon flop Stephane Guivanc'h before the game), 2 from Sam McIntosh and a long ranger from Stu Bowman did the biz.
Sub Liam Boppa Robson went on then came back off with a sore toe. It got a lot more painful in the dressing room (community centre hall) when Scotty kicked the offending digit, which saw it explode into a bloody jam donut mess on the floor. Boppa plimsole then left its footprint on Scotty's back, before Brett helpfully cleaned up some of the blood - with Boppa white shoe! Buzz got a mop to do the rest. Boppa went to the club looking like he had bowling shoes on!
TWFC 1 - 4 Leam Lane
Luckily for most of us involved in this match, the afternoons game with The Toon thrashing the mackems took the mind of another horror show on Halloween. Once again, arguabley the leagues poorest side over the last five years managed to take points from us, scoring within 30 seconds to set the tone for the match. Stu Bowman's neat finish was all we had to show from a match best forgotten.
TWFC 0 - 6 Greencroft
Terrible game to be involved with. A bare 12 players, including two goalkeepers didn't help, but the lacklustre display in the first half was probably the worst display of the season. No fight, no talking, no encouragement, no skill, no energy, in short an abject display by what was still a pretty good starting 11. Obviously Gaffa's talk from hospital before the game couldn't inspire us.
The second half was slightly better, though a missed penalty, this time by Hoges, about summed things up. We need more!
Liam Pearson has just about ensured he will never get another MOM from the club, after using a beer token to buy a coke after the match. People were being physically sick just at the thought. Pearson - hang your head in shame!
Ravensdene Lodge 2 - 4 Thomas Wilson
At last back to winning ways!! The brilliant tactical plan of the caretaker boss, Bazz Hindmarch, cleverly told Rudi Nellis to play a more defensive role, then to cover at centre half later in the game. Knowing he does exactly the opposite to what he is told, Rude-boy naturally went and scored a hat-trick! The cunning plan worked.
Gary Rayne seemed to have munched raw steak for beakfast, as he spent most of the game squaring up to the opposition (all 7 stone of him!). Scotty got injured in the warm up, last weeks pulled calf coming back to haunt him, then Will came off, Neil Bow came off and Mickey Henda (on in Scotty's place) came off, so we lost four defenders on the day, but still hung on to win.
TWFC 2 -2 Lumley Warriors
Our under-achieving side once again disappointed, playing at home against Lumley, the team bottom of the entire league and without a point all season. In the end after trailing 2-0 at one stage, we should actually be happy with a draw.
Maybe its time to make a few big changes.
Amusingly, Tart-of-the week went to Neil Bowman for doing a complete gimp header, then later on putting vaselline on his sore arse! Shaking hands with the opposition at the end of the game put the (chocolate) icing on the cake.!
Will Rantoulis having a laugh (apparently)
TWFC 1 - 7 Coach & Horses
I don't know if you noticed, but it rained on Sunday. Really quite a bit. Standing in the rain is generally unpleasant, but when you have to watch your team fall to bits from a comfortable position, it really adds an extra bit of Crap-Factor. Cruising at 1-0 up from a Rudi Nellis goal, we looked pretty good against this lot from Washington, then the bitching started, we conceded a scrappy goal and it all went downhill.
The second half saw Rudi get sent off, and as the rain soaked through every item of clothing I was wearing, it also started raining goals. A Hendy-Howler allowed old boy Danio Clark to score (no celebrations it was nice to see), then the goals just kept coming. Not nice!
See NEWS page for proper match reports
Who would have thought thick-as-a-brick Mickey Henderson would do so well.
TWFC 0 - 2 Winlaton West End
A better performance than the week before, but it is still our 6th defeat out of 7 Sunday matches, and the management team are puzzled. The lads get smahed and lose, or stay sober and lose. As we won all our evening matches, maybe we should make you all work a saturday night shift before coming to the match.
Quote of the week from "brainbox" Mickey Henderson.
"I've got an HNC - Higher National Qualification!"
Yes Mickey, only if you spell qualification as C-W-A-L-I-F-C-A-T-I-O-N.
Dumb as a stump!
Winlaton West End 9 - 4 TWFC
"Brrrrrrrrrrr"
After weeks of proper results, The Wilson joined the ranks of stupid scoring matches with a 13 goal blitz in Hicksville Arizona. After necogiating the combine harvesters and horse and carts, we arrived and the world's longest pitch and prompty got tanked. Rudi wore tights for the game claiming it was cold (wait till December!!) and set the tone for a girlie showing, although we did keep going and scored 4 in the second half. Rudolf Valentinellis went in a huff when Neil Bowman came of the bench and stole Rudi's chance to score from the penalty spot, and Mickey Henda showed he had learned from Degsy by throwing the ball straight to their striker who scored from close range. Danny Cuthbery got lost in the bushes, and the poor Gaffa had to go straight to Aukland (Co Durham, not New Zealand) to watch Chester-le-Street instead of going on the lash. All in all, not a great day - plus we play them again next week!!!
TWFC 1 - 3 Wardley
Once again our Sunday form let us down, as our arch-enemies dumped us out of the cup - a tournament we were more than capable of winning. Despite loads of possession as usual, we just seem to lack the ability to produce the goods in the last third of the pitch. We look the better side in most of our games, yet the opposition keeper rarely has to make a save. We desperately need to start making, and taking chances.
see NEWS for match report.
TWFC 2 - 1 Stela Maris
At last a performance worthy of the players out on the pitch as The Wilson claimed their second win in a week following a similar scoreline against Leam Lane on Tuesday. The passing was good, the battling qualities were excellent, with only finishing again letting us down (Bowman's third penalty miss in 8 days highlighting our problems). Overall though, top bombing.!
TWFC 2 - 1 Wardley
The expected tough game, but for a change we managed to hold out under huge pressure in the second half, with some resolute defending a good (if un-productive) counter attacks. Larkin, Scotty, Rantoul and Boyler all stuck in, and the team worked hard, right across the board.
see NEWS and FIXTURES pages for round ups and match reports.
NEWCASTLE UNITED INFO - http://www.fansonline.net/newcastleunited/cats.php?cat=21
TWFC 2 - 3 W'ton Steps
Like the Peartree last week, this is the kind of game we should be winning if we have any ambition this season. Being honest we should have won by a mile, but silly goals against us once again blew the game. A lack of killer instinct going forward at times is also a worry. Next up the tramps from Wardley and Nobby the cowardly arsehole.  
Bowman scores from the spot Scotty is Player of the Year Rudi wins the golden boot (which is white)
Lumley Warriors 2 - 5 TWFC
An overall good performance, although our defending will need to improve against the good teams, and our shooting needs a little bit sharpening. The game was notable for gary Raynes actually hitting the net, Stu Bowman getting a hat-trick, Mickey Henderson trying to get on the pitch and being knocked-back by stand in Gaffa, Bazz Hindmarch, but the best bit was John Doughty being put up front for the final few minutes just after we scored, and standing on the edge of the Lumley box after forgetting he had to go back to the half way line while they kicked off!! Tart of the Week award secured!!!
The match report and full League round up can be found in the NEWS section.
An opening day defeat against The Peartree leaves a feeling of deja vu. Once again we were undone by sloppy goals at our end, and not enough killer instinct at the other.
Other news:- Neil Bowman watched new right-back John Larkin play and immediately put his boots up for sale. Anyone after a pair of hardly worn size 7s should see the Little Fella! Danny Cuthbert became the first referee to be sent off, by a referee who turned up late then put the net up before the game! Mickey Henderson turned up wearing awfuil flip-flops.
BANK HOLIDAY FUN DAY SUNDAY
The Wilson and the Blue Star are joining forces to host a family fun day on August 29th, Bank Holiday Sunday. There will be a junior football tournament, penalty shoot-outs, bouncy castle, live entertainment, karaoke, refreshments and anything else we can dream up. Why not come along with the family and have a cracking Bank Holiday!
It's at the Blue Star pitch, mid-way between Wrenton and ravensworth Golf Club, on the right hand side as you travel down Long Bank. The Kids Tournament starts at 10am, then the Fun Day begins at 1.30pm and goes on as long as we want it to!

PRE SEASON SUMMARY
Following the Teams Club match described below, we have had 3 more friendlies. An incredible match against Rutherfords saw us go 5-1 down in the second half before an amazing comeback saw us win 6-5 with Boppa Robson's hat-trick goal in the dieing minutes. Strikes from Sam, Peter Henda and Kevin helping us claw our way back.
In the annual Darren Chapman Memorial Cup, we overcame The Stormont Main 3-2, again coming from behind with veteran striker Brett Hogan coming off the bench to net twice, one with the head and one with his moob, to secure a final against Blue Star who had thrashed new entrants Leam Lane.
In the final we used 20+ players and finished with a 4-1 defeat, Hogan again coming on to score. Then it was back to The Wilson for the 4 teams involved for beer and a buffet, supplied by our old boy Frankie Spence of Frankie & Tony's catering.
Thomas Wilson 3 - 2 Teams Club (Friendly)
The Wilson got off to a good start in the first pre seson (not so) freindly against Premier League Teams Club. It seems as though they came with the intention of bullying our very young side out of the game, and didn't like it when we gave them some stick back.
We took the lead when new boy Yankee Sam scored from outside the box with a right foot curler. In between kicking and swearing at the ref, Teams hit the psot twice, but in the second half another debutant, Garry Raine set up Jack Morris (who quit the club on Sunday only to re-sign on Tuesday! Apparently the place he went was a bit a rough - this according to someone who drinks in Wrekenton. Even the spiders had tattoos! They pulled a goal back before John Doughty, fresh from clattering their keeper scored, before a comedy goal from Gooner made a tight finish.
A notable point was the ref Danny Cuthbertson walking off in the second half after non-stop abuse from the Teams. Rob Boyle finished off the game in the middle, but somehow failed to give us a penalty when Stu Bowman was shoved over. Funnily, Liam Pearson got a slap in the face as well!!
Debuts for yankee Sam, Mark in goal, Mark Henry up front, Gary Raine, Brian Payne, Peter Henderson and Tony Tubbs gives the squad a youthful but strong look. bring on the new season!!!
Interesting article about Wakefield -
Drinking and Public Disorder
A report of research conducted for The Portman Group by MCM Research
UK Research – Wakefield
As a field research site, Wakefield was by far the busiest and seemed the most likely to provide us with the hands-on experience of the lager-lout phenomenon: after all it had been dubbed, by the Daily Express in early 1989, ‘the lager lout capital of the North’. A 500-yard stretch of pubs, clubs and fast-food outlets provides a forum for thousands of revellers from all over the North to drink to excess, dance, eat and then, perhaps, become disorderly.
And that's before we arrive.....

Leam Lane 2 - 3 TWFC
The Thomas Wilson finished this season’s disappointing campaign with an away win at fellow strugglersLeam Lane. It was Leam Lane who took the lead though, scoring from the penalty spot after Boppa Robson had given away a spot kick for the second week running. The Wilson though were level on the stroke of half time when good work down the right allowed Stu Bowman to fire home from close range.
On 70 mins, Bowman again scored after Robson crossed from the right, Liam Pearson got a little flick, and Bowman scored with a theatrical bicycle kick. The Leam hit back though, and when a ball into the box wasn’t dealt with, Leam equalised with a close range header. It was level going into the final minutes but when Dave Henderson had two attempts to beat the keeper, the ball broke to veteran striker Brett Hogan, and he had the simple task of knocking the ball into an empty net to win the game.
COMMENT - Some interesting referee decision during this game, and after, but we cant really comment on them now. We seem to be the victims of some dodgy decisions these days, either that or refs are just crap!!
Tart of the Season has been settled and it looks like Mickey Henderson and Liam Robson will be suffering at the hands of our costume commitee in Wakefield.
Scotty told a flagging Keith Minikan that he should "trot back". Next week Keith will be learning to canter, gallop and jump fences.
TWFC 3 - 3 Whickham Highwayman
League champions Whickham Highwayman came to lowly Thomas Wilson but were made to fight all the way to gain a point. The Wilson came out of the blocks flying and could have been 3-0 up within 10 minutes. Jack Morris scored one, had one disallowed for shouting “Leave It” before shooting, and was clean through but shot early and wasted the chance. The Whickham side had some good possession but were forced to shoot from distance and Lewandowski in The Wilson goal wasn’t forced into action much. Before half time it was 2-0 to the home team, Morris cutting the ball back for Brian Ellison to fire home.
In the second half Whickham stepped up the pressure but Connolly and Henderson defended well, but the break through had to come eventually, a right wing cross volleyed in to make it 2-1. It was all square soon after, the ball bouncing around in The Wilson box before being hooked into the net. The Wilson thought they had the game won in stoppage time with substitute Matty Baldwin netting, but an incredible eight minutes into time added on, referee Stronach gave a harsh penalty against Robson, and Whickham equalised from the spot to preserve their unbeaten league record this season. The Wilson were aggrieved at the penalty decision and the amount of time played, with the second half lasting 55 minutes, but in the end an entertaining 3-3 draw gave both sides a point.
COMMENT - Let's be honest, not for the first time we have been stitched up. 10 minutes stoppage time when there wasn't an injury of note! A blatant dive for a penalty equaliser, that even the other game's ref said was a joke, and he would have booked the Whickham player for diving! Some ref's just don't like us!
 Tekkers of the week goes to veteran Barry Hindmarch for his top corner bullet in Tuesday's match at Cardinal Hume school. Tak a boo, son!!!
 Grant McPhee did the half time streak!!
TWFC 4 - 5 Saltwell Club
A game which we were unfortunate to lose, but again mistakes cost us dearly with two penalties conceded (first and last mins of first half) and poor defending and a fluke for the other goals. On the plus side, we battled throughout and played good football at times. Rudi Nellis, Bopa Robson, Dave Hetherington (or maybe Jack Morris) and Gooner Connolly scored for us in a match that ebbed and flowed between the two sides.
Pics below from Grange Villa match!

Grange Villa 2 -1 TWFC
(match report coutesy of Andy Thompson of the Villa)
I have more Nectar Points on my club card this season than the Villa have got and I don’t even shop at Sainsbury’s. The poor Thomas Wilson have less than that. A scrappy game in the making?
Anyway a scrappy game it was with a narrow 2.1 victory with plenty of scraps going on around the pitch as well. Fireman Scot’s Dad thought a Thomas Wilson player should got himself to specsavers. The referee thought the same as he sent him off. The little fat dumpy bloke playing at the back did some winging as well. He told Sharpey ‘I’ll see you back at the changing rooms’ Now this wasn’t an idle threat as Sharpey would see him in the changing well if he wanted his clothes back after the game. The Wilson lads also had a passion for shirt pulling, if you want a green shirt that much sign on for next season.
TWFC 3 - 2 Lumley
At the bottom end of the league, two teams without a win this year squared up. Thomas Wilson hosted league newcomers Lumley, hoping to record a league double, but were shocked within two minutes when Lumley scored a great solo effort, which left three Wilson players chasing shadows, including a nutmeg on Scott, before the ball was neatly despatched past Hanvey in goal. Within ten minutes it was 2-0 to the visitors. A swift attack down the right resulted in a cross into the box, and after Ellison and Scott collided, all that was required was a simple finish from six yards. The Wilson fought back, but Hetherington and Burns both missed good chances before the break.
In the second half the home side pressed and were eventually rewarded when Stu Bowman’s free kick from the left touchline evaded everyone and went straight in at the back post. Bowman then equalised, managing to force the ball home from close range. Wilson boss Keith Minikin sensed victory and brought on three subs in the second half, and with seven minutes remaining, one of them, Boppa Robson, squeezed home what turned out to be the winner, and wheeled away offering his ‘big rig’ celebration as The Wilson held on to take all three points.
Winlaton West End 2- 0 TWFC
Much better perfomance up in the wilds of wooly (is this part of the district of Gateshead), going in level at half time, and having a Dave Hetherigton shot hit the post before a dodgy offside goal (even they agreed) and a penalty won the game. Neil Bowman did some bizarre goal line stop late on, but for legal reason we can't go into detail. The game also saw the return of Stu Bowman after a spell in Alcatraz.
 Left back Neil Bowman.
Our problems this season might just be summed up by a conversation during Tuesday night football. When a complaint about a lack of movement was voiced, Bri Ellison piped up about how he was moving as " I am standing right here!". Not really moving then...
Washington Steps 5 - 0 TWFC
Washington Steps cruised to an easy victory over a disappointing Thomas Wilson side. There was a minutes silence before the game for two former Wilson players, Mickey Barker and Mark Brown, who have died recently. In the first half the match could have been over but for some poor finishing from the home side, who eventually broke the deadlock on 37 minutes, to take a one goal lead into the break.
The second half was one way traffic with defensive errors, combined with some slick passing allowing The Steps to carve open the visitors time after time. Despite some poor finishing again, Steps still managed to rattle in another four unanswered goals in the second half to run out 5-0 winners.
Overall, a very poor performance, against a side we beat 4-0 earlier in the season. In the end we had to laugh as Setf Lewandowski came on for Degsy and immediately had to change his shirt as he hadn't noticed he was wearing green - the same as Steps. Didn't make a differance as the first thing he did was pick the ball out of the net as the barman fromUsworth Top Club scored.
FREE THE WILSON ONE
Stu Bowman manages to evade the long arm of the law. This time.
The incident that is not really very clearly described below has now finally reached a conclusion, and so its back to normal.
DEJA VU
Once again the Wilson and the Corpy Club had an exciting contest which finished earlier than expected. A lot of incidents allegedly took place, so can't really say much except good goals from Jack Morris, Brett Hogan and Rob Boyle meant we were leading 4-3 before things went pear shaped.
The Wilson listened intently to Scotty during the half time team talk...
