Posted a lang time after ‘high noon 🕛 bells 🔔’ Munday 6th Octobaa 2025
“TWO FOREST’S IN FOUR DAYS!”
Followin on from the junior game last Wedinzday afternooon in Belgium, when wor U19s lost 2-0 to USG U19s in the Forest district of Brussels, we faced anothaa ‘Forest’ in the shape of the one from Nottingham, where we won 2-0 to climb up to 11th from 15th yesterday! (A match report on the U19s game will appear here at ‘high noon bells 🔔’ on Wedinzday!—a week late, but this IZ The Geordie Times!— wot did yoo expect?)
In a lot of ways it woz a frustrating, scrappy game with ex Toon goalie Matt Sels havin a blinder and great luck to deny various Toon players of a goal!
Joelinton had 2 great chances in the forst half, but Sels stopped both, az The Friar Tuck Mob defended The Leazes goal, with very little in attack!—They even time wasted az well!
HT 0-0
Shots from Tonali, Waltemade, Thiaw, Barnes, were stopped somehow by Sels— two from point blank range with hiz legs!
However, the breakthrough finally came in the 59th minute when a Dan Burn 🔥 pass foond Bruno and he sent a MAGnificent shot from the edge of the area past Sels, who had ‘nee chance’ of stopping it, az it hit the right hand side of the goal net!
A massive relief against a very poor Forest side who now faced their 7th winless game under new manager Potofsuperglue (or whatever he’s caalled!)
Nick Waltemade then hit a shot from inside the box, but it ricocheted off the cross bar with Sels in no man’s land!
We needed a 2nd goal and that finally came in the shape of a penalty, when Bruno woz hacked doon just inside the box by former Toon starlet Elliot Anderson and the ref, who had had a terrible game, pointed straight to the spot!
Up stepped wor new super hero Nick Waltemade (the 2 metre Messi!) to send an unstoppable shot into the roof of the net at The Gallowgate End in the 83rd minute to put the game to bed! (He haz now scored in 3 Premyaa Leegue home games in a row since makin hiz debut— A record he now shares with Alan Shearer and Les Ferdinand!)
RIP 🪦 WILLIE!
One sour note to report iz that former goalie and Fairs Cup winner Willie McFaul (who aalso managed NUFC) who died on Saturday, wasn’t acknowledged by a minutes silence before the game!
The same could be said for Fairs Cup winners Wyn Davies and John McNamee etc, who seem to be ‘airbrushed’ from wor history books!
A very bad show from NUFC!🥶
Attendance: 52,189 (3,000 Friar Tuck Mob)
*Explanation: Friar Tuck woz one of Robin Hood’s merry men who came from Sherwood forest near Nottingham!—‘The Friar Tuck Mob’ —-Get it?🤔
