Re: Yeovil away

Easily the best side we've played so far this season so a very tough game ahead no matter who we have in the team today. A draw would be fine.

Bit of an odd move...but then Dowson didn't really rate Kiernan either.

Re: Those Were The Days; 14th December 1996

Was that hatrick scored on 21/1/1997? MK Yes, in the 8-0 win over Dorking in a Southern Combination Cup tie Remember it well, against the original Dorking FC, who were dire at the time and losing heavily every game. Players had obviously been told to set Stairs up with as many chances as possible, ...

Re: Those Were The Days; 14th December 1996

Wasn't it Aiden Kilner, rather than Adam? Or was that a different player? Steve Stairs was a real conundrum...a good player who'd scored loads of goals elsewhere but his record with us was dismal. Mark Biggins was a joy to watch but less of a team player by this stage of his career. Interesting times.

Re: Southend (a) - 9th December - FA Trophy

It's a truly great result, genuinely astonishing and probably is up there with the best of the others. There's a lot of opposition for actual "best ever" result though.

Re: Braintree home tonight

We were talking about this last night. He's certainly a very neat player in what he does, and I assume that coming back from (presumably) an injury he still isn't quite match fit yet but I too have been quite mystified as to why Alfie Whittingham doesn't seem to get a regular start. Dunne does look ...

Re drinks, no more draft cider in the bar! This is the end of civilisation as we know it! Bottles of Magners at 6.50 a throw...no thanks.

Re: Middlesex Senior Cup 2023-24

We played in the London Senior Cup in the eighties and made the final at least twice. Kingstonian and Fisher wasn't it?

Re: Middlesex Senior Cup 2023-24

What is the point of entering the tournament with that approach?? There are plenty of “big” middx sides in the comp who don’t disregard it in this way. We have a squad of 21 players. That includes Alan Julian (injured), James Comley (coach) and Alex Solomon (out on loan). So we have 18 players. We ...

Re: Club historian

Les is our Historian. Well yes of course, and that's how most of us will always think of him, but I just wondered if the paid post had been filled. There's usually an announcement about these things. The job of Kit Man (or person) was advertised too, I don't recall an announcement about that either.
