Went to Walton Casuals v Hendon on Tuesday night. Walton won 2-1 with a last minute goal and there were a couple of late reds for some handbags.
Really entertaining game and was nice to meet Tony Gale beforehand. He said that he made his debut for Fulham v Charlton (1977) and reeled off several Charlton names from that day. Very genial bloke and a good laugh.
Blimey, profligate finishing. Erith could have had five there.
I said afterwards 3/4-0 wouldn't have been a robbery. Was more pleased with the style of football they tried to play. We are blessed with a plethora of talent lads throughout our youth section.
We currently have 4 x 17 year olds in our 1st team, with more coming into the squad for our game next Wednesday.
Went to Carshalton v Ebbsfleet Saturday, fleet won 2-1 with a late winner.
Spoke very briefly with Chris Solly who was an ignorant prick. Also spoke to Lee Martin when he was warming up, what a contrast compared to Solly remembered his time there and the fans, and thanked me for saying hi.
I went to Peckham Town v K Sports Reserves on Saturday - top of the table versus bottom. Peckham ended the first half 3-0 up; they ended up losing 4-3.
Enjoyed standing behind the K "dugout" and watching their manager bellow them on to victory and getting into the Peckham players' minds too. ("They've lost their heads!")
At the end one of the K players yelled "that's how you play when you're bottom of the fucking league!"
Thought this deserved an airing - goal roughly 5 mins in. Two sides played in cup last Saturday at Chorley the n the replay midweek and Southport at home to Chorley in league today.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=136gF_i_pZw

What did solly do? One of my mates saw him at Wembley for the Denmark game and said he was down to earth and talkative. Maybe pre game beers calms him down

I'm off to Aylesbury United v Chipstead in the 2nd Round Qualifying of the FA Trophy as I continue my trail to Wembley. https://fatrophy.co.uk/
My son a few years ago did every round of every cup competition from the pre qualifying rounds, and saw every final including, but i am sorry to admit it, sitting with Palace fans when they lost to Man Utd. He did enjoy that. He went too some obscure games up and down the country to complete this.
He said he had some great memories sitting next to Thierry Henry watching a Arsenal youth cup game and sitting with the Man City squad at the Ethiad watching their Youth cup game.

Brilliant thing to do.
I'm considering the FA Vase next year. I'm on target to produce a book, which will be part travelogue and part non-League football. Enjoying it so far. I just have this feeling that I will end up in Barrow, but that's life.

Thanks it was considering he doesn't drive and went everywhere by train. Good luck with your book.

A cracking little ground.
I assume that's so he doesn't have to run up and down the touchline, but he's hardly well known for his aerial power, seeing that he's only 5 ft 3 8
The first team have also won their last 5 games and are currently 3rd in the SCEFL Premier.
