Lets hope he does appeal and is successful. I don't recall the same hue and cry being raised after the recent horror tackles from Glenn Johnson and Lampard. Some cycnics might argue its because they are England squad players and had a baring on the refs decision. If the footballing authorities in this country want to be taken seriously they should have accepted Rooneys international ban and not appealed against it. Double standards at work?

As a fan of the club since 1968, I refuse to follow a manager or group of players blindly or without question. To do so would give the illusion that as a group we feel all is rosy when patently it is not. If you wish to blindly and sheepishly follow your manager and players that's your prerogative.


As for our run in the champions league this season, I'll be sitting the stand watching and enjoying it all the more knowing that for all the huge investment made by both Manchester clubs in the previous transfer window, you didn't qualify for the knock out stage. Wonder what the reaction would have been had that been Wenger.

Thanks Red Devil - I don't find your remarks at all patronising.

TBH I get fed up of all the petty squabbling and dick swinging by the male forumites on this football thread - perhaps I will just learn to ignore all that and post more often!

Unlucky Palace, losing on pens is never nice.

In a bit of a dilemma about tonight's other semi-final...not a question of who I want to win, more like who do I want to lose more...as Citeh are more of a threat in the League I'll plump for them as the team I'd like to see lose, hopefully another tiring 90mins, extra time + pens...don't worry Liverpool fans, normal service will be resumed on Saturday ;-)

I admire your fighting spirit maxxi, many have tried, but alas many have failed too...think Mockney 'Charlton Athletic' Piers, he too thought it would be one season on the Nunhead and Sydenham Southern Forum, but sadly he's now trawling the depths of the West Dulwich Forum...another relegation for him and total obscurity on the Herne Hill Forum beckons

So, Man City are not going to appeal against Mario Balotelli's four game ban. Anyone still think he's innocent? And Howard Webb says he didn't see the incident but TV replays clearly show him pointing to the offence. Perhaps he just didn't have the balls to send him off.

This was true up to August last year but since the WDF was reactivated it failed to attract the necessary interest and has been stripped of accreditation by the FA (Forum Association).


Rumours that two prominent members of the SFA (Sydenham Forum Association)were to be parachuted in to save it proved unfounded and as Mockney's status is Tevez-like in its uncertainty and possibilities all relegation/promotion issues have been postponed for a season.


*There has naturally been a 9 point deduction for presumptuousness and TWOC-ing*

      Election Time - 2024

      The end of a decade and a half of gaslighting, they must be exhausted. Oh boy, are we going to hear some coercive BS in the next 6 weeks. For some reason they don’t seem to be boasting about how well we are doing in education, crime and policing, fishing, agriculture, health, prisons, trade, trade agreements, immigration, transportation, utilities (including water), amongst other things. They seem to be focussing on exporting individual ‘illegal’ immigrants to Africa for more than it costs to take a journey into space. And rainbow-coloured lanyards for use within the civil service. I wonder why?🤔

      Southwark making its reuse & recycling centre ever harder to visit by van

      If you have a campervan (windows all round, seats in) they’re treated just like cars - come unannounced as often as you need. So I think it’s a way to avoid commercial interests’ abuse of the service. Imagine if you provided a local clearance service, you could empty peoples gardens and houses and take it straight to the dump and have nothing to pay.

      Gutted to miss out on the title in the end and fall down to fourth at the last! Thanks for running it - took me a while to get to grips with the format but came on strong in final few months. Look forward to next season!   JamesM

      If you can access Facebook, there are many groups on there for different things. it may be helpful searching for groups on there. i joined a few groups on there myself which helped me with my health issues. it was these groups that made me realise I wasn’t the only one suffering with side effects & some women were worse off than me. hope that helps
