Chris Dickson? Do me a favour - I'd rather have Barbara Dickson. Callum Harriott, falling over the ball like a child; Bradley Pritchard, chasing around for the ball that he himself has lost; Joe Pigott, blasting a penalty in to Row Z at Dartford. You may like all this hapless stuff. When Donny Rovers pitched up at The Valley, they weren't thinking "Oh, I don't like our chairman because he won't shell out" - they scored three times within 23 minutes, sliced us apart with simple, incisive, rehearsed moves. What exactly goes on at Sparrows Lane?

This is a certified CL classic.  

Indeed it is, but everyone on here should read this page, it’s peak Viewfinder:

The best part is his response to ValleyGary.

Thank you for finding this. I often think of this exchange whenever I need a pick me up but had no idea what thread it was

The post aimed at ValleyGary was so specific yet every single point was so wrong.

Bring back the argument alert thread.

There’s going to be a lot of people getting a lot of unexpected retrospective lols from this. That argument was top-tier CL

Back to Chris Dickson and Hornchurch:

That second half by Hornchurch was why I will watch lower tier football when ever possible. No I don't just mean Cafc in the third tier but teams in the 7th 8th or 9th tier of the football pyramid. It may be "dog shit" to the word smiths on CL, apparently every time we screw up a few passes in League 1 that is a response by some, but its seeing plumbers, teachers, and candlestick makers as well as ex pros like Dickson and Muldoon, once of this parish play their hearts out at the part time level that is the magic for me.

Football from the sublime to the ridiculous.
November 3rd was the last time Hornchurch played a competitive match. Hereford must be similar as last time I checked they were in the national League north.

How I envy Nash or Brown who scored cracking goals at Wembley in front of fans.One of my Brother's lives in Hornchurch and got a ticket and said it was a great experience again to see the team he was supporting win at Wembley. More Bauer and Mendonca moments of supreme joy.

The beautiful game full of triumph and disaster.

I think they played the semi-final in late March beating Notts County in a penalty shoot out.

Yes your right.
The leagues were stopped in November but certain cup competitions were allowed to continue.

Now at Cray wanderers having left Erith and Belvedere.

He only joined s couple of weeks ago

That’s a shame. I saw he’d gone back to the Deres. Obviously would have been great for them to have him.

Still going strong at Chatham Town as he approaches 40

Signed for Horsham

Long career

Go get him. We need an experienced striker now that Hylton has left 🙂

Think the professional player/coach position has been filled (cannot see the job on the club's website anymore).

I generally thought Hylton had left (getting the manager's job at Luton or something) for a minute there 😅. Then I realised your referring to him retiring (to become a full time coach).
