Dulwich Hamlet

Yes get there early by public transport (East Dulwich Station is adjacent) take in a takeaway from the excellent chippy or Dominos Pizza outside grab a pint from the clubhouse and then bag a seat, and stay in it at all cost thus pissing off the late arriving hipsters with their kids in papooses, roc...

Dulwich Hamlet

What Hamlet hope for and what they get might well be quite different things... They had to rip up the old pitch and grow a new one; that is almost ipossible to do in the timescale before December 1st during the winter There is a degree of decay and neglect in the ground that needed addressing such ...

Torquayunited v Woking Fa Cup 1st round 10/11/18

Your facebook guys are an embarrassment - another reason why the celebrations! Agreed; facebook is for morons... and as for a lot of our so called fans......five hours since the FA Trophy draw has been made and no-one on here seems to be aware that it has been and the same on TFF . Of course you kn...

Is a reality check needed ?

Lots of young talent with really exciting ability, but there are times like yesterday and against Billericay last week when you need experienced heads particularly in adversity.The better opponents are more more street-wise and that's why the manager will be recruiting fit for purpose players to pl...

Torquayunited v Woking Fa Cup 1st round 10/11/18

Does he mean throwing verbal shit or actual excrement? Because Ben Gerring wasn't averse to the former when he was a pro' at Torquay United you know and had his actions referred to the PFA and the League Managers' Association. So perhaps Ben would care to come clean as to why his offer of a new cont...

Torquay Run out -Entrance songs

Been answered already. It was A Banda from 1960 at all games first, reserves, youth. In my young very keen days I used watch a lot of reserve games and A Banda was very much part of the whole atmosphere of Plainmoor. Could never understand them changing it. Merse saw his 1st Plainmoor game when he ...

Torquayunited v Woking Fa Cup 1st round 10/11/18

then come the second half it felt like Owers was back in charge and we tried to sit on our lead again doing it badly. Have you ever tried to manage a game frm the sidelines? Surprise, surprise ~ whether your'e Gary Owers Gary Johnson or Jose Mourinho ~ the players don't always do as you want and it...

Torquayunited v Billericay Town 3/11/18

Contract cancelled. Gone to Wealdstone. Petulance when substituted did for him. Might have; might not. Plenty of players aren't happy when being subbed; experienced managers know it's best to leave them to their sulk and deal with it later ~ if there's anything to deal with. Different players react...

Torquayunited v Billericay Town 3/11/18

Anyone know Cunnington's background? He looked the sort of bullying striker we could do with! Cunnington is the big lump who ~ in April 2016 ~ was sent off for a second bookale offence playing for Bromley against us in 2-0 win we had at Hayes Lane against them with goals from MacDonald (11) & R...

Torquayunited v Billericay Town 3/11/18

Re-deploying a player like Evans to play further forward in the 'Regis' role ~ and that's not as a 'ball winner' per se but one who would get his foot in early and upset the composure of the opposition as was shown in the Edwards goal at Weston Tuesday ~ is more a way of managing the match and the a...

Torquayunited v Billericay Town 3/11/18

Not sure who this ball winning player Merse wanted to bring on was . We had Sokolik and Nabi two players not match fit by a long way but on the bench (and not what you would call ball winners ), because we had no-one else, or the 16 yr old Koszela For your information; what I did say was... 'As it ...

Torquayunited v Billericay Town 3/11/18

you still try and force your undeniably flawed version of who Owers was. He failed where Nicholson twice succeeded both times with less backing than Owers. Johnson came in and immediately improved what Owers definitely couldn't. No I do not; I pointed out the different ways in which the two manager...

I've been checking, and my (U10) son's league are using it this season. However, I have not seen it applied once and to be honest; the instances of dissent to the referee from players is virtually non existent in the Watford Friendly League anyway.
