    Fully deserved. Always a worry when your best player is a loanee though.

    Will be very hard to replace next season.

    A Palace player winning the Charlton Athletic player of the year is in my opinion the ultimate concession of self-respect.

    Accepting him as a loan player was a hit to the pride of our club but necessarily pragmatic.

    Voting for him as POTY is too much for me
    - I don't care how good he may be.
    We can never live this down. It's an avoidably sad day in the history of our club. I don't understand how any Charlton supporter can bring him/herself to vote for a Palace player as our own Player of The Year. 

    I'm genuinely baffled by this.
    Doesn't it go against the correct definition of 'Charlton Athletic Player of The Year'?

    Can you remember back to our last season in the Premier League ?  Scott Carson won POTY that season....and he was on loan too. And fancy choosing a goalkeeper to win POTY the year we get relegated. He should have been sheep dipped, tar & feathered and then hounded out of town. 

    We’re saving that for Bonne!

    My view entirely was a joy to see him play and what a prospect they have on their hands.

    Fair play, would have said Dobson myself but don’t begrudge Rak Sakyi 
    Actually, thought about it more and reckon I was wrong. Never really comfortable with loan players winning POTY but JRS has had a very good season

    How will we all sleep at night?!

    The fact is that without him we'd have been in a relegation battle. Relegation to league 2 would have been slightly tougher to live down.

    Well done JRS - fully deserved. Wore our shirt all season and contributed to a level that was a joy to watch.

    He has been a Charlton player all season, played well and kept his place in the team throughout. It makes no difference what sort of employment circumstances brings a player to the squad, it’s what they do to earn the red shirt and keep it week in, week out.

    Back home from the POTY dinner. Many thanks to Jean, Ian et al who were involved in putting the event on. Had a very enjoyable evening and know a fair bit more than I went in knowing. No complaints and really pleased I went. I really enjoyed speaking with the Charlton Live team too and thanks for all of your hard work to this season. Looking forward to the Pod tomorrow 👏
    What do you know now you didn’t know before ?

    This evening just about sums our club up. I really do not understand  why some of our fans support this non event. A mate has just texted to say the food was crap..
    is he a vegetarian? 
    Might be. When I have ever eaten at an event at the Valley (three times) the vegetarian food has been vile…that’s if there has been any provided at all!
    It is also an insult if being a vegetarian is viewed as a ‘special dietary requirement’, that category is for nut allergies or whatever surely?
    The payment of north of £40 for such an event is for others to enjoy, not me.
    When the club email me to book a table for a match (this is not the POTY people) they bang on about a seat, a programme, a legend, they also say a delicious meal. Quite a claim when they don’t cater for vegetarians.

    For the record when I’ve sponsored a match the vegetarian option is always available in the centre circle lounge

    Well done to JRS, Denying him POTY based on his parent club would have been madness.
    A good young player with a bright future. Good luck JRS, all the best.

    Despite him being a stripey Nigel, I can't see beyond JRS. But we all know Dobbo will probably win it (even though I think he's been poor by his own standards lately).
    Called it. #smug  ;)

    We have done JRS a favour, something has to compensate him for having to return to those plastics.
    No way should he stay at Charlton next season, if I were advising him I would suggest a Championship club would be the right option.

    Was in the Oak for a beer yesterday, nothing to do with the women's game or POTY do, but noted what a badly dressed support we got. At one end of the scale you had those who looked like they'd been kicked through River Island backwards, while at the other end, there's those who looked like they popped out for a pint of milk and a newspaper.

    A good evening. Yes, the food wasn't great and had to stop for a mac on the way home, but it didn't spoil the evening. Had a nice chat with DH and he's 100% committed to our club and already focused on next season. No sign of Bonne and was told by a very good source (not a player or staff) is that he's already left the club (not been seen at sparrows lane recently). We had Zach Mitchell on our table. Very nice lad and proper Charlton too. Joined by Heidi Logan from the women's team. She was lovely and very chatty.

    Bonne was training only last week up to Thursday, saw him training with the 1st team myself (but couldn’t hit a cow’s arse with a banjo even in training 🤦🏻‍♂️) but think the tie may have been severed since then. A good sign IMHO. Regardless of what comes next Deano is definitely inputting, perhaps unlike others before him… and is trying to do what’s best for the club.

    That would have been very nice in the events I attended. Certainly better than the absolutely nothing (nobody told us sir) served up at one of them.

    Dust, I think they can eat dust. Or wafer thin ham.

    I wonder if Sean Clare was obliged to eat dust last night.
    I don’t think he would have opted for part of the carcass of a dead pig, even if it was wafer thin.

    As it happens, I got told, and not for the first time I hasten to add, that I look like Dan Balzerian last week. Reckon that must give my observations some gravitas in the clobber stakes, and what I saw yesterday was mess.

    Nb. I wouldn't have wanted to win the GQ MOTY award since at least circa 2005. Werent that the Harriet Styles won with his nans clothes on the other year?

    I’m too pissed to bother looking or bothering to ask what anyone else chooses but there is a vegetarian starter and main meal option 
    eating is cheating and with my guts I can’t afford to be touching veg when on the piss 
    match day sponsorship was £240 per head with seat in directors box, programme, advertising, pictures in dugouts/ ground/ 3 course meal , cheese and biscuits , sausage roll / pie / veggie stuff after match , beer and wine thrown in all day , loads of banter with Bob Bolder , go on pitch pre match , choose man of match … in all honesty it’s a  bit expensive for  a shithouse league one club but a way of supporting the club and getting mates together once a year .
    I choose it to get pissed tell everyone how shit we are and cuddle Bob .
