Hi Eve and Steptoe
Perhaps you should have used the word "Bitter". The scrap metal yard is the only thing which can be salvaged by Atkins. 

As for a FA Cup run, does that mean the famous Terrors can go through the extra preliminary round to the preliminary round!!!!!!!?????

Hi Son of Steptoe, where Tooting finish in this totally appalling league is totally irrelevant. Even the second div of the isthmian league is just as poor. The future is not bright due to  the way  the Football Club is set up. 

Hi Ev, Just completed  a small amount 0f research  after reading the Balham Website. I haven't got the will   power or the inclination or even the enthusiasm to go any further. Balham advertised the recent game as the tenants the Landlord's.  I have discovered it should read Tenants V' Tenants. It seems Balham have taken over Imperial Fields. I think Jamie is being taken for a fool, he should resign now, There has been a re-structuring of the  facility. 

What else has changed

 

The only glory day to look forward to now is if we can beat the mighty Balham lol. What a disgraceful position our team finds itself, one drop into park football.

“On another day it could’ve been three or four,” lamented Matt Kellett-Smith following yesterday’s respectable goalless draw against ex-Casual Jamie Byatt’s Tooting & Mitcham United.

On an afternoon of familiar faces, Byatt and his in-form Terrors side came to King George’s Field looking to propel themselves up the table after a rich vein of form in which they have gone six games unbeaten.

It has been the opposite story for Corinthian-Casuals, after the frustration of defeat to Guildford here on Tuesday night. Jersey and Fleet have also successfully left Tolworth with points in one way or another lately, and this was another tough test for Mu Maan’s men as two friends became rivals for another 90 minutes. A crowd of 310 showed the popularity of this fixture between two grand old non-league clubs.

Casuals winger Trey Masikini had the first opportunity to make his mark on the contest on the 10-minute mark, when his nimble footwork saw him glide between defenders on the edge of the area. All that was left to do was wrap one into the top corner, but his effort sailed the wrong side of the post. A start of speed and purpose from the hosts.

Masikini’s early intricacies were matched down the other end just moments later. A floater played in from the Tooting right seemed to hang in the sky forever, until Darra Wopara’s acrobatic bicycle attempt was grasped by Sami Nabbad. One for the cameras, perhaps, but not far off giving his side a spectacular lead.

 Hard-Fought Draw for Knappers in Rain-Soaked EncounterJames Carpenter24 Nov

 Resilient Knaphill hold firm to secure a clean sheet in torrential conditionsKnaphill went into the match looking to end a run of five straight defeats. Against a tough Tooting & Mitcham side and in challenging conditions of heavy wind and rain, the Knappers put in a hard-working and resilient performance to secure a valuable point and a clean sheet.First Half

Knaphill had the game’s first real opportunity in the 12th minute. Jason Vincent did well in laying off a pass to Jack Watts, who made an impressive run from deep. Watts struck the ball cleanly from the right-hand side, but his effort flew wide from the left post. Tooting nearly took the lead in the 41st minute through Conor Melody. Breaking down the left, Melody unleashed a powerful strike from the corner of the box. His effort rattled the stanchion before rebounding clear to Knaphill’s relief.Knaphill’s defensive unit, led by Michak Stanic Stewart and James Glover, ensured that goalkeeper Sam Gray remained largely untroubled for the rest of the half.

Second Half Knaphill continued to handle the testing conditions admirably, maintaining their structure while looking for openings on the counter. In the 56th minute, Jack Watts was cautioned after a 50/50 challenge that the referee deemed worthy of a booking. The first Knaphill substitution came in the 65th minute as Justin Thompson debuted, replacing Kingsley Anokye and slotting in on the left wing.Knaphill came close again in the 75th minute when a free kick from deep by Matt Copland fell perfectly to Jason Vincent in the box. Vincent struck the ball well, but his effort went just over the bar, much to the relief of the Tooting defence.Just a minute later, Knaphill had their best chance of the game. A misplaced pass from Tooting goalkeeper Toby McKimm went straight to Vincent, who charged toward the goal. McKimm came rushing

Guildford City (1) 2, Tooting &; Mitcham United (1)1
By Barry Underwood
For the second time in two weeks Guildford City overcame Tooting and Mitcham in a tight and hard-fought encounter.As in the FA Vase match there was only one goal between the teams. But City were impressive throughout, both defensively and in attack, and they deserved to take the three points.Guildford went ahead in just the second minute. Rueben Duncan played a quickly taken free-kick into  into Darnell Jon-Peter’s path and the striker did well to shoot inside the near post. Six minites late Hussein Siklawi shot over the bar for the visitor’s first effort on goal. Prompted by a lively Manny Acheampong, Guildford looked dangerous on the attack throughout the first period.Ben Gambrah saw a shot deflected for a corner following Jon-Peter’s delightful flick. But against the run of play City conceded an equaliser. An ambitious pass deep in City’s half was intercepted and former City player Max Oldham ran through to shoot low past Jacob Terry.The game opened up mid-half. Darnell Jon-Peter saw a shot tipped round the post on 24 minutes, whilst a minute later  a second Tooting goal seemed inevitable and was only prevented by stalwart defending and Jacob Terry twice saving brilliantly from very close range.A further minute on and Reece Robins set up Manny Acheampong but his shot was tipped round by Toby McKimm. In the half’s final moments Darnell pulled a cross back across the box but Acheampong’s shot was blocked.

The second period started with Tooting seeing more of the ball. There was though stalemate for the third quarter of the game with few chances at

Sad news, great goalkeeper and will always be remembered by those who witnessed him playing.  Not a very big man for a goalkeeper but was agile and brilliant. Another piece of Tooting's great history disappears.

RIP Cobby, and deepest condolences to  his family and friends

​City advanced to the next stage of the Isuzu FA Vase with an impressive
performance against esteemed visitors Tooting & Mitcham United. It was an
intriguing match up between two sides who for periods cancelled each other out. City were working hard off
the ball and pressing their opponents into errors. The first chance came on 16 minutes.
Alex Rodway-Brown chipped the ball back into the box where Alex Stingelin mistimed his header and the ball
glanced just wide. The visitors first attack saw a run into space on the right and a low cross zipped across the
box. On 35 minutes Leevi Bassett’s cross into the box from the left was just too high for Malachai Cole.
The first corner of the match didn’t come until the 37th minute which gives an indication of the prompting nd probing largely taking place in the centre third.   Just prior to the interval Guildford had some joy down the flanks. Reece Robins cut inside and saw a shot saved by Toby McKimm in the visitor’sgoal. Then from a cross Rodway-Brown flicked a header on and Robins netted but from an offside position.
=10pt =7.5ptIn the second period Guildford were noticeably looking to get the ball into the box from wide positions.
Just two minutes in Ben Gambrah’s cross was headed over by Leevi Bassett as he fell backward. A minute later
a snapshot from Tooting’s Ashley Sheppard nearly caught Jacob Terry unawares, but the City keeper parried the
powerful effort and gathered it again via the inside of the post. On 58 minutes, 12 goals of firepower was
added from the bench in the form of Manny Acheampong and Darnell Jon-Peter. Just after the hour Jon-Peter
and Aaron Smith-Joseph for Tooting exchanged long range efforts that cleared the crossbar. Jon-Peter then saw an effort saved at the near post. The deadlock was broken on 75 minutes. From a long ball forward Darnell Jon-Peter s

Captain Reyon Dillon was instrumental once again, as Mu Maan’s high-flying Casuals triumphed on opposition soil for the third successive time.

In a week when Oasis reunited, Maan continued to get the band back together at Corinthian-Casuals, with the highly anticipated return of icon Kieron Cadogan adding to the ensemble of former players back at the club as we looked to orchestrate another masterclass on the road.

It wasn’t exactly half the world away, as Casuals made the short trip east to Imperial Fields in fine voice, knowing another victory could see them take a leap up the league table. Tooting & Mitcham sat inside the top five heading into the clash, but despite it being early days in the season, every point matters.

It was a supersonic start to the contest as Cadogan’s perfectly executed pass found Dillon who took it in his stride and slotted into the bottom corner with ease, getting the game rocking n’ rolling in the best possible fashion.

Some might say that away form has been an issue for some Casuals teams of the past, however this new-look side seems to be really coming into their own on the road so far. The dominance continued as Diogo Da Silva let fly from 30 yards but to no avail in front of the travelling away support. Little by little, we were getting closer.

It looked for all the world that the pink-and-chocolate army were going to double their advantage, and Cadogan was at the heart of most attacking moves with spells of tricky footwork and intelligent hold up play as we sought a second. The former Crystal Palace academy talent was in the thick of it again, as a smart turn and strike stung the gloves of Toby McKimm in the Stripes’ net.

In the end, Maan’s first-half masterplan worke
