I'm going to the CP match too. That's a threesome ;-).


Anyway, whilst here, the first home match of the season is now set for tomorrow (16th July).


This is a pre-season friendly against Erith Town (apparently Erith Town's pitch needs re-seeding - or something). KO at 3pm.


However, I understand, that the game is "weather-permitting". If it absolutely buckets it down, then play will probably not take place. And, I have to say, having seen the pitch today, I can't say I blame them: the pitch looked absolutely beautiful. Emerald green and immaculate.

The Crystal Palace match starts soon: KO 19.45.


Should be more entertaining than the first match of the season: I'd seen more action in a bowl of cereal (sorry DH). As for the Palace supporter/forumite who is going to this...you are NOT sitting with us LOL! Be prepared to be lobbed with all sorts (you know who you are)! ;-)

It would be nice if the fans would keep us loungers updated here. I've checked todays results and The Hamlet have won 1-0 away from home and now have 9 points out of 9. They are level at the top with three other teams on the same number of points. I believe they have a home game on Monday. Perhaps the real fans might update this thread as there could be a load of gloryhunters like me who might start going to watch them if they are doing well. You don't have to like us but the extra income might help the club.

Sorry about that, Mr. Medic. There appeared to be a dwindling of interest, and I didn't want to bump the thread if that was the case.


But you are right. I have been to every home game this season and DH have performed VERY, VERY, well. Even beating the likes of Palace!! THAT was a match (4 - 3 to DH). We actually went with a Palace supporter...poor sod...he took our relentless teasing well though - not that he had a choice BWAHAHAHAHAHA.......


Anyway, as I am here, the next home game is: on Monday 29th August against Corinthian Casuals. 15.00 KO.


Looking forward to seeing you there Doc!

I am.

I only knit for friends/family and don't charge. They are not to a professional standard: think rustic! If it's for your son, I'll knit him one with pleasure. However, he'll have to wait a little as I am in the process of making a DH one for someone else, upon completion of which Stoke City, Leeds United, Liverpool and the Italy National Football Team are next (in that order)! Would you like to go on the waiting list? If, on the other hand, it's for you - then that will be ?1,299.67 please :)) (+ VAT).

Ms.Muck, how long is that scarf? I may have to go for a shorter one. BTW are you VAT registered? If you need any help with the colours required for the other scarfs let me know. Your Liverpool friend would like one in a royal blue. If it's possible to integrate the number 18 into it, they would like that too (number of league titles they have won).

Actually, I think 19, in royal blue (of course) might be even better!


You do make me laugh Doc!(tu)

For those who care...


Fabulous play from Hamlet. They seem to be going from strength to strength. Got a really good team together now. Am liking the new goalie too.


Score today: Dulwich Hamlet 3; Corinthian Casuals 0.


Goals scored by: Sawyer, Lawson and Bowen.



(not quite the 8 - 2 of yesterday;-), but still a good result!).


Just one thing. Anyone know why Duku and Morath-Gibbs weren't playing today?

Oh dear! Have you really asked him why he didn't play? (Actually, thinking about it, I can imagine you doing just that!).


I'm not on Twitter, but if you could keep me up to speed with any gossip news I would be grateful LOL!


Can't imagine what the score might have been had Francis and Kalvin played today. Both really solid players. (I noticed Duku was on the bench).


There appeared to be a serious injury today: possibly a broken arm or dislocated shoulder - within the first few minutes of the game too. Hope the player (CCs) recovers quickly.

They've got to stay injury free. Duku was lost last season two thirds in (with no-one to replace him really) when he went to play for Kingstonian I think. The real problem with DH was the incohesive midfield. Always slow to start and just not creative or incisive enough. When they picked up the pace they got forward but against better teams, fitness is everything. Saw too many games lost in the final quarter, from sloppy and tired loss of posession in the midfield.


For all his strength at centre back, Duku on his own won't be enough further on into the season when the better teams are match fit and more organised. I haven't seen a DH game yet this season (too busy) to check out the new additions. Will make the upcoming home games finally. Hamlets have got pace in width...they need to use that and swich play more effectively when they run into heavy zonal defence (zonal defending being what a lot of teams at this level seem to prefer). Hopefully this season they can do that.

That explains it! Can't blame him for going out on the piss then: injured and they won at Sittingbourne 1 - 0! May he recover quickly - I missed him on the pitch today.


Thanks for that Doc.

    • Gone to the better hunting grounds during this local ongoing dry spell.
    • The Dreamliner has an impeccable service history, you are more likely to get mugged on the way to the airport than having any issue with your flight, that's how safe it is!  Have a great trip.
    • Maybe. Does that kill grass? If so, possibly the same dog that has left its poo outside my house - pretty sure it's not fox poo.
    • Here you are, intexasatthemoment (you seem to have been in Texas for a very long time!) We went to three of the recommended places yesterday,  as they were all in the same road (just near Wallington)  and I needed to give the car a run to avoid another slap on the wrist from my garage (and another new battery). Here's my findings. BARNES Parking We thought we would go here first as it was the earliest to close on a Sunday (3pm). There was no apparent entrance or anywhere to park. One notice said do not park on grass verge, and another one said staff cars only! Flittons was opposite but I'd already passed the entrance, so I had to drive down the road, turn round at the next available place (covered in signs saying do not park here) and park in Flittons car park! Plants Barnes  specialise in hardy perennials, so that was basically what they had, but an excellent selection, and many more unusual plants (or at least, plants you probably wouldn't find in a garden centre), eg Corydalis,  lots of different varieties of Epimediums, Trollius, some lovely Phygelius, lots of different ferns). The plants were divided into sections according to whether they needed sun or shade or could cope with both. They had a particularly good selection of  shade loving plants. There was really useful information above  each group of plants, which meant you didn't have to look at individual labels. All the plants looked in good health and  very well cared for. They don't produce a printed catalogue, but they  said their plant list was online (I haven't looked yet). I assume most of  the plants they have at any one time are when it's their flowering season (if they flower). I wasn't intending to buy anything, though was very tempted, but I'd definitely go here again once I've sorted out my overgrown garden. Other Stuff Don't think they sell pots, compost, etc. No cafe/tea room and I didn't see a loo, but Flittons is just over the road. FLITTONS  Parking Easy to park Plants Sorry, but mostly terrible. There was one section with vegetables and the rest was flowering plants. There was a general feeling of delapidation. Some of what was on display was actually dead (surely it would only take a minute to remove dead plants) and a lot of the rest was very poorly maintained, eg gone to seed, weedy, apparently unwatered, or with a lot of dead leaves. There was a notice asking for volunteers to work there, so I can only assume they can't afford to pay staff. Other stuff There was a notice to a play barn (?) saying invited people only, so I think they must host kids' parties or something. They redeemed themselves with a cosy little cafe with savoury stuff, nice cakes, iced chai and oat milk, and a loo. Also a selection of books and CDs on sale for charity. If you want an Andrews Sisters CD, you can find one here. There is a small shop with gift shop type stuff and a display of the history of Flittons, which apparently is family owned since the sixties (I think it was). I suspect that the arrival of Dobbies down the road must have greatly affected Flittons' fortunes, which is sad. DOBBIES  Parking Easy in theory once you had navigated a rather narrow entrance, but it was very busy so it took a while to find a space. Plants  Lots of plants, well maintained but I imagine their turnover is high. Lots of nice bedding plants for hanging baskets, window boxes etc  to cater for all tastes (ie some of it wasn't mine, but fine if you like those horrid little begonias (my opinion only) but they did have some nice (in my opinion) stuff as well. I was tempted but decided to buy from North Cross Road market. Fair selection of climbers, various different Clematis etc. I'd be happy to buy plants from here. The prices seemed reasonable and they were in good condition. Other stuff  It's a big garden centre with all that entails these days, so a large area selling garden furniture and storage, tools, animal collars, pots, all the usual stuff you would expect. Very helpful staff. There's a cafe which we didn't check out, charging points for electric cars, a Waitrose (no idea how big, we didn't look). Only on our way out did we see that there was a drive through "express section" for compost etc, which was annoying as I wanted compost and hadn't seen any anywhere,  but I was getting tired by that time. Just Down the Road A ten minute drive away is Wilderness Island, a nature reserve in Carshalton, which is well worth a visit. We heard eleven different kinds of bird (according to Merlin) and saw a Kingfisher flying down the tiny river!
