Sorry Ev, at least two other cup comps to  go:-

London Senior Cup V Wimbledon Youth Team
Surrey Senior cup    V Farnham, after a bye from the previous round.... So Bye Bye!!!!


 

As previously requested, I have been requested by long time passionate supporter Stefan to post this message on his behalf.

Something is fundamentally wrong, when year after year, our football club (Tooting & Mitcham ) continues
to fail at the first hurdle of the FA Cup and in the league itself.
 
You only need to look at the very top of our club and down to see why.
 
I ask a straightforward question, if you were running a business would you like to see it keep failing year after year,
with staff (players and management) keep coming and going, with no plan or idea how to put things right.
 
In the case of T&M something needs to change and change fast.
 
The supporters can see it, but can the club see it and are they really bothered to do something about it ?
Not on the evidence of today’s result. Not on the evidence on the amount of trialist who have featured this summer,
and the results achieved, poor to say the least. Who is the team ?  Are they good enough for this league ? 
Should they consider retirement ?  So, may questions that lead to the question – Does management know what they
are doing ? Should we not have a recognised striker by now ?  Why should I spend good money and time watching a team,
that have no desire, no self-belief, a poor attitude on and off the pitch, a team that will untimely fail, because there is no
plan to win, and that was born out by today’s result.
 
Football is a serious business and if players and management fail to understand how important it is to do well in the
FA Cup, then they might as well pack up their bags and go home. There is no place for losers in this competition or
the league itself .  Not if you want supporters to return to the stands and get behind their team. And after so many
exceptionally poor seasons (far too many for me to remember) then a change at the top and down will need to
happen, but we all know that will never happen and the team will continue to flounder. Prove m

Hi Paul, the extent of the fall out for getting relegated to the   dregs  and obscurity of  lowly  level 5 football still keeps giving.

With Tooting even disappearing from the Football Pages website, except under special circumstances, team sheets including subs, and attendances are not available on a live basis! The score last night was only updated a day after the event. However, according to  the FA website the attendance was declared as 135,  there was no attendance recorded for the away game at Newham.

Yet again The club has lost and opportunity to bring the sponsorship money rewards for appearing in the FA Cup as the rounds progress. But as we know from past experience the rewards would only be offset against the allocated budget. 

The combined Counties league administration is hopeless, so info on games will be difficult to obtained on a timely basis.  The embarrassment of being dumped out  so early from this competition is a disgrace to the name of Tooting & Mitcham United. 

Anyway congratulations to  Adkins, Woolley, Shaw, The Members Club and Cox director  of Football who knows squat all on the subject Cox  that well known director of Football , who actually knows  squat all on the subject.

And last of all Bosah who lead the team to  disaster with the help of the above, and hung on to the bitter end and showed no shame when he should have gone months earlier. 

What a state. 

Since 2005:  Quote “The challenge is to make Tooting & Mitcham United FC the best semi-professional club in the land, one built on sound foundations of good practice in all matters!! (You can’t make this up lol)





 

I hope what's happened to Tooting sinks in a little more now. Even shown last in this latest information!!!!!

Hi Dan, thanks for update on Brassneck, I remember his postings, no comment. Steve Harold, Waste of time vouching for SR, I invited him to apply again after Gary Walker vouched for him, but he did not bother to  respond, a  great voice of reason, plus his a Adkins and Woolley apologist!. The situation gets worse.

Well, Well Steve Reynolds is in involved with this forum meeting. This geezer put me through the hoops to  get onto  the forum, and I had to hold back and protect the forum users  due to his email suppliers  having a scam record ! Gary Walker contacted me to  vouch for him and let him join the forum. I sent a message to  SR to  apply again but never heard anything. What a waste of time and space!

This forum meeting goes from bad to  worse. 

Stephen R,
The previous administrator for the forum Gary Walker has vouched for you to  be activated on the forum. All you need to  do is apply using a different email address which can be fully verified.

Stephen , thank you for providing your first name, however I am unable to  approve your active access to  the bog end forum for the reason explained in my first posting.

Another fan has sent me his views on yesterday's gameI went to the dreadful game. I feel I witnessed at least one if not two teams going down this season.  It was nice to catch up with a ex K's and Dulwich player Toni and his son. I left feeling really upset . More than I thought I would with the players on show which are just not good enough.  This would be no surprise to anyone who goes regularly.  I left feeling really sad on how the owner and management have let the club just run down in such a way.
 After the game the owners have turned the lights off in the car park which for me is very dangerous.  Cars reversing out of spaces not being able to see pedestrians. The money they are saving on electricity will be small compared to the money they will be sued if there is an accident.  Disgusting behaviour! Just shows how little they now care now they have their planning permission.  

 

Happy Xmas to all Bogenders, and thank you for the support you have given this forum, and for Gary Walker’s hard work maintaining this forum until recently. And thank you to all those long-time supporters who have given up on the club over the last few years but still view this forum. Those very long serving volunteers who have given unbelievable service over many years, thank you for your efforts on keeping the football team functioning.

I wish everyone a very productive, success and Happy New year, despite the owner and the members club looking for any excuse or blame game for winding the football team up! This would not be the first time. 
 

  
Stefan who does not use social media, requested I post this message on his behalf. Stefan is a “Die Hard” supporter of many years.
 
 
I was there yesterday, and I would agree with Dan.  Tooting play was boring and without skill, flair, or imagination, and with only one striker up front what does that say about our current team.  It has come to the point that I am now questioning myself as a season ticket holder, why do I subject myself to this pain and suffering, watching my team play pathetic football when our manager Ashley Bosah can’t raise his voice in frustration seeing his team collapse, time and time again, with his arms folded, just watching and saying nothing. Does he not know how the team supporters on the terraces are thinking? Can he not tell that they are fed up watching a team who can’t put a ball between two sticks?  Who can’t shoot, pass, or have the courage to do something
different? Quite frankly they are just not good enough for this league and nor is their manager.
 
 He should do the decent thing and resign because he takes sole responsibility for the team he puts in, week in and week out. And if you’re continually failing, why should any self-respecting person tolerate such losses as we have experienced this season. If I was an employer, why would I put up with somebody who is not fulfilling their position and doing what is expected of them.
Enough is enough, let’s get real here. If you keep doing the same thing, you are going to get the same result and that’s what our manager is doing.
 
Hoping anybody new is going to make the difference. However, we know that unless you eat and sleep the business, that will work in time. However, when your just
chucking players in without doing due research, hoping that a miracle will take place, well, forget it. It will not happen. But we know that you have to look further up, to see the real problems why it’s going horribly wrong on the football

His parting words to  me were:-

Thanks mate. Take care of yourself.  Its all over mate. The club has gone. 

A message from Tooting fanatic Stefan
I am so disappointed! Every T&M player should hold their head in shame for the performance they gaveon the pitch today.  They could not find their passes, shoot on goal affectively, go round players andmore importantly score a goal, even when we were awarded a penalty! 

But their biggest culprit was their manager Ashley and his team, who could not find the energy to explain in no certain terms that the team is heading for relegation if they could not put a better 2nd half together. Could they, hell not,  they couldn’t find the opposition net even if they wanted too, that’s how bad they were today. 

And the =11ptmanager and his team should look at themselves and say to themselves, are we fit to manage the teamon performances like today and throughout the season ?   Why did we let go our top striker Dan Williams go ?  Why did our managers, play over 50 players this season ?   What were their negotiation skills likein trying to keep players at our club ?  Do our managers show any respect for our player’s, and do they care ?   Well, it a sad day for the club, but more for the poor suffering supporter, who had to watch this rubbish today. A fresh start is needed but I will not be there at the terraces to watch them next season if they go down,because above all, I have lost all respect to the jokers who run our club believing it can’t be happening, but itis unfortunately and we are going down unless a major miracle happens overnight, and the management getsleave of their senses.
