No need for the "ouch"...


It was bad luck on Dulwich...they played magnificently from the outset and gave their all right until the final whistle.


Yes, we went into extra time and Leatherhead got ahead...but WHAT A GAME! For me, probably the best all season. Nice crowd too. We found ourselves sitting amongst Leatherhead supporters, but they were very tolerant of us Pink and Blues. An elderly gentleman gave me his programme as a souvenir. He must have been about 100 years old LOL! And we sat next to a dad of one of the players - so that was interesting too. A wonderful afternoon. And Dulwich Hamlet should be proud.


Mr. Medic, your fella (no. 2) was there - he played exceptionally well. Weegee, your chum Martin was there too. Nice to see the Dulwich supporters out in force.


I am exhausted!

Wow! That's only 10 years ago. Kalvin has grown a bit, but is still quite little. Certainly he's the shortest player, but what he lacks in size he more than makes up for in skill on the pitch. He's very talented and fast - so much so that we have nicknamed him "the whippet". You should have seen him play yesterday - you would have been proud. Whilst they all played well, little Kalvin stood out as one of the best (if not the best). He seemed very sad at the end though; sat on the pitch looking very dejected, whilst his teammates tried to coax him into standing up to the cheering crowd. Do you no longer go and watch them play then?


As for Medic jnr, he is the tallest! And he looks most serious.


Again, a lovely photograph.

Kalvin always gave his best and never had tantrums like some under age players did. Medic jnr lacked a friend in the team (most joined up with a friend) and at that age was a bit shy I think. He scored some fantastic goals,would put his head down and run back to the half way line almost embarressed. He once scored a goal from almost the half way line and I can still remember the shout from the other side of the pitch when it went in......'he's like David Beckham'. Great.


Must take jnr to see Kalvin play next season...........

Kalvin is great in that he doesn't do any of this "diving" or "lying on the ground" stuff in order to gain an advantage. If he goes down, he is up again in a jiffy. Sounds as though he hasn't changed.


Shame Medic jnr didn't keep it up. And - yes - you should take him next season. DH may not have got their promotion this time around, but - if they continue to play as well as they have this season - I don't see why they shouldn't get promoted next year. Despite playing like troopers, they were unlucky at yesterday's play-off.


Roll on next season!

      GALA 2026

      So that suggests the consultations with 'community' are just a tick box exercise where information given cannot be relied on. Not a good look. I hope Renata Hamvas who is the local councillor, as well as licensing, finds a way to stop the wholesale, spreadingmonetisation of an important green space in summer. If they get this it'll end up like Brockwell Park before you know it.

      Dulwich library closing for refurbishment

      I’m broadly in agreement with you, Dogkennelhillbilly. But why the meme? It’s a very unfair representation of Sean Dyche, a man who to my knowledge has never engaged in any culture war bollocks. From his Wikipedia entry: Dyche features in an internet meme criticising modern trends in football, in which the phrase "utter woke nonsense" is attributed to him; he said "I wish I'd copyrighted it. Considering I didn’t actually say it, it does follow me around".

      Xmas lunch at local pubs/restaurants?

      By David Peckham · Posted

      Whisky Macs, like Harvey's Bristol Cream and Cinzano Bianco & lemonade, are a taste of Christmas past sadly lost to many. A little Whisky Mac and icing sugar whisked through whipping cream makes a festive accompaniment to stollen or Christmas pudding.

      Advice on dealing with a solicitor who will not use modern means of communication

      By Angelina · Posted

      Legal matters are notoriously slow.  There is no rule that communication has to be via email, fax or letter. If the issue is that you want to claim damages to the property because of poor practice, you would have to lodge a complaint with the ombudsman, but surely the one to suffer the most is the “gold digger” beneficiary?    If that is not the wrong that needs righting, what is?
