Dulwich Hamlet

[Bluerevolution]

Fantastic

[Mugglesworth]

Disappointed that the Hamlet's excellent support should be used to disparage support for Jeremy Corbyn (see point 4 of this https://medium.com/@Labour_Pains/13-reasons-not-to-vote-for-jeremy-corbyn-as-leader-of-the-labour-party-11d5656cac88). Might even tip me the other way. Poor analogies can come back and bite you.

" Managing to get the same attendance for a campaign rally as a low ranking non league football team can muster on a rainy Monday night really isn?t a sign you?re about to cruise to electoral victory."

Not very nice.

[Bluerevolution]

When was the last time we played on a Monday night ? Let alone a rainy one !

[GriffDHFC]

The attendances may be up at Champion Hill but we've not yet managed a four figure gate midweek. Fisher have the Monday night slot and boy would they love that sort of gate, rainy or not. Whatever your feelings about Corbyn I doubt any political candidate in this country could attract the sort of attendance for a rally that the author of this article alludes to. Sad really, always have great memories of attending a massed rally for the communists in Bologna that packed out the main piazza with many thousands.

"...non league football team"?? Fecking cheek. (6)

Haha, saw that earlier. When I suggested that there may be a hipster or tweo amongst the ranks I got slaughtered. Put it in the guardian and they're queueing up to talk to them.

Tarts ;-)

Some of the comments underneath the article are pure gold.

Pseuds Corner anyone?

I showed my fatmate Mugglesworth's post above and I won't repeat here what he said. Alll I can say is that they can't have been to any games.

Bologna's no good, just outside Tuscany

That's funny and a few months ago before becmng a Dulwich Hamlet fan I wouldn't have understood that joke but I do now.

This is even more pretentious than the Guardian

If you missed yesterday, you didn't miss much, DH took an earlyish lead (apparently a good goal but I only heard the cheer as I walked up through the park) but after that it was pretty uninspiring stuff. Absolutely no width and very Scrappy.

Ref was a total cunt who gave NOTHING our way. Then out of somewhere they added 5 minutes at the end and the bastards equalised with more or less the last kick of the match.

Also gutted to hear that Harry Ottaway has left the club.

[geh]

agreed, pretty miserable bad tempered game, to let in the equaliser in the last few seconds was cruel too.

Good grief. Reading that Guardian piece makes Hamlet supporters look like completely-up-their-own-arse twunts. What did they do to deserve that?

You sure that photo was taken in Calais? Looks more like Glastonbury to me.

Another victory from the mighty Hamlet.

[sillywoman]

I heard it from the comfort of my kitchen!!! :D

[Otta]

Basically a crap match (opposition came to defend and get a point), but a late late goal sent us all away very happy.
