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*

      Decision 2 April - Proposed Development - The Sidings, Railway Rise, SE22

      By mitchiner · Posted

      I’m not an expert either but surely having that high of affordable housing would seem like a terrible investment. My guess is that they will pay southwark a fine then make the rest of it student housing too

      How late is your Christmas Card

      By Pugwash · Posted

      For some strange reason, hubby likes to spend 'big' on family cards birthday and Christmas. I think it may have stemmed from his mother- she equated money with status and was a bit of a snob!  She was also quite eccentric - we asked for a suitcase one year and got a set of 4. One year she gave hubby the equivalent of a hearing aid - it was a device to hear bird song. Nobody we know send expensive cards. We have a twice yearly set of cards from the Foot and Mouth Painting Artists and have done for the last 30 plus years. I think they are around £12 for set of 10  - cannot remember what we paid this winter but they are fantastic value and beautiful paintings.  One of the best places around to buy cards is the Fair Trade Centre at Christ Church Barry Road. Fantastic selection with a starting price of £1.30.

      DVLA Licence Renewal

      By Pugwash · Posted

      I had to renew my licence - took photocopy of my current licence and also my renewal application and posted everything off. Within 10 days received my new licence. My old licence was due to run out in January so I submitted the renewal early December.

      Any interest in a Barter scheme?

      By Pugwash · Posted

      I cannot remember who ran/organised the original ED LETS. They had meetings at the ED Community Centre every so often. I think there were about 20 - 25 people involved.
