Mike,
It looks as if tickets are still available ok,but I would say that when I booked mine yesterday the set up procedure was a right to do-you had to set up an account and this failed about 3 times before it completed.

Mike-I have not received the message from you.I have just changed the old email address that was registered on here to my current one-but that is the one that I gave you so I don't know why it keeps returning your message.Just to  confirm my email address is ; mikehartshorn17@gmail.com.Ithink this must surely do it.Regards-Mike H.

What a sad day yesterday was after hearing about Chris-I always sat next to him in the stand and had a laugh with him as the rest of us around the group did.It seemed the last few times that I had seen him his mind was elsewhere as he was not feeling great and a bit depressed.This was concerning and we wondered what had happened as we had not seen him for a few weeks.Chris really loved the club and put a lot of effort into assisting & raising money for Tooting.I and many others will miss you mate and if the team do well this season I will consider that to be a tribute to your 60 years of hope & effort.R.I.P Chris-condolences to all your family.

r That is really sad news about Billy-I only heard about his illness last week and how sick he was.I cannot believe the speed of things.I always enjoyed a chat with Bill-he had a good sense of humour and his family have lost a good hard working man whilst the club will miss a true supporter over such a huge period of time.R.I.P Bill-you will be truly missed.Condolences to his family.

Thank you-noted!

Hastings game.
The first 15 mins saw Hastings dominate,throwing everything forward.However,for the next 30 mins Tooting dominated,playing slick passing football and our midfield ground them down.Nevertheless,all about taking chances and once again we did not do so-should have been ahead.We played into the face of a very strong wind and I was impressed by our style.
Then we go into the 2nd half with the wind in our favour and things change,surprisingly,while we were not outplayed,we did not continue with the same drive as in the 1st half.Hastings improved considerably and 2 mistakes gave 2 goals away-the 1st trying to catch quick forwards in the offside trap & the 2nd a lazy crosscield pass,under no pressure and we were caught in possession.When you have quality finishers like Zac Attwood against you,there is no room for casual play.
I do feel that although the team has very good spirit and the standard of entertaining football has improved greatly,I still maintain that Frank's judgement of players is the most worrying concern.Serge did very litle during the game and how he & Matt Price can keep Leon on the bench I fail to understand-in the 9 mins Leon was allowed,his first 3 touches set up a scoring chance,won a free kick & then a corner.
I was in favour of Frank's appointment,but this is either him being obstinate or favouritism.He needs to wake up.



 

A match that could have been won & at the very least should have been drawn! I'm afraid we fell for the sucker punch when their no 16 came on & proceeded to foul & aggravate everyone around him.He succeeded with Simeone,who let himself & the team down by giving him a clump in full view of the asst.ref.His departure obviously upset Netto who decided to kick their wide player into orbit-very sensible.Even with 9 men we did not seem likely to loose until Sol P.B. upended one of their forwards going away from goal in the penalty area-again vey sensible & goodbye to £3250.However,we did play pretty well apart from these 3 ridiculous passages of play.
I must say Tilbury FC were an absolute disgrace in the way, not only their supporters but particularly their bench(all of them) threw disgusting abuse at the young female asst. ref.It was sickening to hear them so aggresively insult & abuse her to put pressure on her-,just about sums them up.The referee,who I think was very wary of them,should have made it quite clear to their bench that it would not be tolerated.
 
 

Not a miserable journey back from Hythe-for the first time this season I was very pleased with what I saw from Tooting.After a somewhat wasted first half in which we let them dominate but defended very well,only an unfortunate mistake by Simeone gifted Sawyer his first goal.
The 2nd half was a revelation-we played superb football nearly all on the floor & outplayed Hythe to such an extent that they could hardly leave their half.We attacked them continuously & aggressively,scored a tremendous equaliser and it honestly seemed only a matter of time before we took all the points.
Make no mistake,Hythe have been drilled into a well organised team but our level of skill was so much higher as their supporters testified.Once again, sadly,we were caught out by a ball over the top as we were, perhaps,a little too eager to get forward down the left and Sawyer was left clear to score a simple goal.
Every player contributed so well and I was heartened particularly by the performance of Sol Pinnock who showed just what he is capable of.Incidentally,the new coach seemed very animated & aware of what was going on.Well done-if we keep going in this vein,we are definately on the right track.
Finally,please do not continue to waste Leon's talent sitting on the bench.

Michael Solako given another fair chance-5 minutes.Leon Lalor Dell wasted on the bench after being loaned to Redhill for a couple of weeks-amazing.Let's remember the quality of opposition last Saturday and assess the performance truthfully.I can't believe the forward line-up in our team-2 very small forwards will not do the job.We now have some important away fixtures and if we do not take a good points tally from these,our situation in the league would look to be very disappointing.

LAST NIGHT THE PERFORMANCE WAS POOR-BUT THIS CAN BE PUT RIGHT.HOWEVER,WHAT WORRIED ME BEFORE BOTH THE EAST GRINSTEAD & CASUALS GAMES WAS THE NON INCLUSION OF LEON L.DELL.WHEN A PLAYER OF HIS ABILITY TO RUN AT DEFENCES & GIVE ACCURATE PASSES TO CREATE OPENINGS IS LEFT ON THE BENCH UNTIL THE LAST 30 MINUTES OF A GAME,I DO WONDER ABOUT THE MANAGERIAL FORESIGHT.WE WATCHED TJ & SOL CONSTANTLY HAVING POOR FIRST TOUCHES ON THE BALL & BLASTING ANY CHANCES WE DID HAVE INTO OBLIVION.
I DO FEEL SORRY WE WERE UNABLE TO SIGN ATKINS(EX FOLKESTONE) FOR WHATEVER REASON-IF IT  WAS ABOUT MONEY,SOMETIMES THE BUDGET USED FOR A COUPLE OF PLAYERS IS BETTER SPENT FOR ONE MORE EFFECTIVE.IT IS ALL ABOUT OPINIONS.
WATCH OUT FOR MICHAEL SOLAKO-PACEY & CLEVER.I HOPE THEY PERSEVERE WITH HIM.
