Souness has just announced on radio that the correct tactics will be for us to hold them for 70 mins and then start attacking for the last 20. Like he would know! Great defender in the day but what a t*t.


I'm getting nervous now. And have already booked a consolation dinner with MrsBen in a local eatery to help me get over the result.

I am emotionally spent. But incredibly proud as to what Scotland managed to achieve in this campaign. If England played with half that passion they'd surely win the world cup every time. Great atomosphere in the EDT (thanks to Ray) never seen so many Scots out in SE22!


Bottom line - our goal was offside, their second one wasn't. But no way should that last free kick gone to Italy. I still feel robbed. But we are now second seeds for World Cup 2010. Good luck to the English against Croatia. I'm not sure you deserve it but I would like to see one UK team qualify for Austria. Even if its thanks to Israel! :)


And great to meet you good people from the forum. Sean, Floating Onion Mr & Mrs Assett, Michael P. Thanks for sharing it with me. See you all soon.

The bad: The result,obviously. MrBen is spot on with his observations on the goals but that doesn't take away from a very spirited second-half performance where I genuinely thought Scotland were going to go on and get a result. To perform so well in THAT group and to not qualify is gutting


The good: Everything else really. Superb atmosphere in the EDT, more Scots than I realised existed in SE22 and nary a hint of menace after the result went against them. The table we had ended up a fine mixture of forumites and partners. I had never met MrBen before and a fine fellow if ever I met one. Hello too to Mrs Ben and Mr Asset


Tillie Trotter (foxy new hair cut and all!) , Asset, Georgia, Mr Georgia, Mike Pay-lee-Oli-Gus, Floating Onion and Ally Cat were also present and on fine form. I, however, found myself one beer too many afloat so apologies for any lack of sense as the evening drifted on


The tournament will be all-the-worse for Scotland's absence, but let's enjoy it anyway!

Never mind Mr Ben, your team did you proud as you said. Mind you I bet you were sick as a dog to see the results of the Israel v Russia game. Who would have believed it a?! The English are jammy buggers no!!::o


Was nice to pop down and see some of our lovely forumers and was indeed a good atmosphere.

    • Hello! We are relocating abroad and so will be withdrawing our two children (ages 4 and 6) from St Dunstan’s College (Catford). If any family is considering enrolling children of a similar age, now would be an excellent opportunity—we’re required to pay full‑term fees unless the places are taken. Please get in touch if you’re interested or know someone who might be. Thank you!
    • Hi  I really thought I'd seen a more recent post on the forum about home education meet ups. I can't find it though. Hope some of these might provide leads. https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/137603-home-schooling-advice-anyone-wants-to-do-it-together/#comment-1092093 Very old post but group seems still to exist: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/92044-home-education-local-group/#comment-954837 You could try contacting this forum member: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/325368-classroom-support-for-home-education-community/#comment-1621064 Two of these left for right now: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/events/event/1025-🌟-teens-11-try-painting-sculpture-street-art-at-holiday-workshops/
    • Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.    
    • Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.
