This. I was disappointed....last night was by far the worst Scotland have played in about 11 games.

But it's true though no? England's last WC campaign is best forgotten. And even Saturday v Slovenia...that first half was not anything like how they played last night.


In relative terms England are playing far worse than their average standard historically. Scotland also (although much improved since dire Bertie Voghts era).

It might be true (it is), but it's still the bitter parting shot of a sore loser.

We're not having much luck with injuries in all positions.

Ditto, Saturday is going to be the battle of the walking wounded...

The recent appointment of Malky Mackay is very distasteful. Yet another example of a chairman and the FA having no clue as to what is and isn't acceptable in the modern world. I can't help feeling the black players at Wigan are probably uncomfortable at best and betrayed at worst. Trouble is Scudamore got off, and Mackays lawyers will no doubt cite that in any case brought against him.

      Damp cellar floor is it a problem

      By Pugwash · Posted

      Our cellar was damp constantly and we were told that there were many underground streams in Dulwich (which eventually end up in the river in Belair Park),  Agree it is connected  to the water table. We had all old plaster removed from walls and replastered,

      Recommendation: Spoiltdog aka Andy

      By bonzodog · Posted

      Andy did a good job for me doing up a flat - bedrooms, bathroom and kitchen for a very reasonable rate. He’s a top notch painter and decorator and can turn his hand to many other trades too. I’d highly recommend him - nothing was too much trouble.

      Love Dulwich Restaurant

      By Pugwash · Posted

      A ramp would not be suitable for Love Dulwich. Gradient would be too steep, also length of ramp would go into road. We considered a ramp in the house to get down 2 steps (internal) but an OT who measured said we would need a clear space of around 9 feet plus because of the height of steps.

      Silver Fern Landscapes - Recommendation

      By TAG · Posted

      Over the past few months, Jan from Silver Fern Landscapes has completed several projects for us.  (He was recommended by a neighbour.)  We have been very pleased with his work.  Some details are below: Built and replaced several trellis fence panels.  In one part it was very complicated due to a large vine that had grown into/around the trellis.  He was able to save the vine, having unpicked it from the old trellis and then securing it to the new.  The vine went into a bit of shock, but is now thriving. Repaired the top frame to our garden side-return door, replacing rotten wood, and repainting the new to match. Repaired the loose tiles in our front walkway Along the way, during his visits, Jan also gave advice on various topics, such as how to best care for: our recently re-planted lawn, a tree that lost a large branch, and the vine mentioned above.  His working style is straight forward...he shows up when he says he will, discusses what needs to be done, provides timely quotes, completes the work as agreed, and sends an invoice. No drama, no hassle.  We will definitely be calling on Jan again when future garden-related projects arise! silverfernlondon.co.uk/silver_fern_landscapes.html
