Re: the quiz win - it's nice to see that some members of the DTB can answer difficult questions in a timely manner.

Self praise is no praise

Happy 5th birthday to New plough lane, (have we paid for it yet)

Naz, didn't everyone spot it? I was about to call the Police

Hash - yes. Mentioned this on FB over the weekend. The crosses are fine, the players are ambling into the box, rather than busting a gut to be there and collect them, and shoot.

Last two games have clearly shown how much we miss Matty Stevens.

Well done with the quiz tonight everyone! I have a few minor suggestions for next time but they can wait.

Hiuuuuuuge thank you to everyone who came to the WAWF Pub Quiz tonight. I think we got away with it, as they say! Full house (we had to draft in extra tables and chairs) and it felt like a lot of fun. Some great prizes won and raised something like £1,750 for the Fund.

Haha

ESG doing the scoring?

The two DT Board teams came first and second in tonight's quiz. Thanks to Graham Stacey⁩ again for helping organise it.

Is it Pete The Pilgrim or am I thinking of Pete The Pirate?

Sure I’ve said this before but one of my favourite Wimbledon memories was in the AFC era - our first L2 promotion season in fact - away at Home Park and Pete The Pilgrim was doing his pre-match wander. As he came past us strutting some dance move or other a chap near me shouted “YEAH YEAH, KILL ALL THE INDIGENOUS PEOPLE”

The away fans were singing "paedo, paedo" at the Plymouth mascot the other week

From memory some years ago at Kingsmeadow, Luton fans essentially decapitated Haydon as he walked in front of the away section. Bang out of order frankly.

My son has a lovely 8 inch long scar on his stomach now. Approximately 2 inches longer than mine. 😉

Postman 99 - from earlier, re drunken mascot. I'm pretty sure Haydon wasn't drunk, but I did see him fall off his bin yesterday down near the scoreboard. 🤣

Apparently the guy attacked a woman on the DLR with a machete on Thursday night. BTP had been looking for him.

KT2, it could be deemed unsporting behaviour so an indirect free kick would be awarded.

Hear you Doughty. Distance needed from a knife but in a confide space it's kicks to create distance and something to strike the hand/throat/temple.

Really upsetting how bad this country has become. When you have greggs having to have security guards on the door, fizzy drinks not in fridge but behind counter, booze locked in cabinets in Morrisons having to ring bell, kids killed at Taylor swift dance class, kids killed at arianna grande gig, man stabbed to death walking dog, stabbing on train, rock star paedos, mps not fit to serve, hatred on left, hatred on right, economy tanking

Trigg - indeed, and one of the two suspects appears not to have been involved, and has been (hopefully correctly) released from custody - not sure why he was arrested… 🤔

Hypothetical question for the WUP refs: I am playing at CB, under attack from the oppo CF who is running with the ball towards the edge of my 18 yd box. I shepherd him across the edge of the box, towards the centre, to reduce his options to trying to beat me and my fellow CB or shoot from range. I lunge in slightly with the intention of dummying a challenge but not intending to commit, hoping he'll rush his decision, but at the same time I scream 'TACKLE' as loudly as possible directly at his face. Is that in contravention with the laws of the game?

It sounds like all the railway staff involved deserve significant praise, driver, signaller and guard.

Sounds like a member of LNER staff got themselves seriously injured whilst trying to stop yesterday’s knife attack. Wishing them a full recovery and full recognition of their bravery.
