Not sure any football team has had as much impact in pop culture as Wimbledon FC of the late 80s/early 90s.

I think we got a mention on "not the nine o'clock news" back in the day. Subject was subeteo (sp?) and they were looking at a team with broken pieces. One said to the other, "what happened to them?" with the response, "they've just played Wimbledon"

For the record, I disagree with almost everything WIJG posts. His idea of what a football is for and represents is totally alien to me. Yes, his posts are long (so are mine) and he quite happily talks about his wealth, how successful he is, etc. That's up to him. If he irritates you, ignore him. Much of what he says is repetitive, exaggerated and living in a dreamworld. However, he is never rude or offensive to any individual so let him get on with it and ignore him if he bothers you.

Trigg - we did beat Orient on Jan 1st 👀

I'm not buying all this emoji stuff as an excuse. It's like someone being abuse to somebody and then saying, "only joking" afterwards, as if that somehow absolves them from their behaviour. When someone has a track record of not liking things (posts about politics, links to Twitter, any excuse to have a go at StD, etc) then when they now start complaining that posts are too long then that is what they mean, without having to decipher what some cartoon face that is illegible without a pair of binoculars might infer.

Was that about the number of points we get in January each season?

Swig - what was the category?

And we were a pointless answer in the final round of Pointless

We made it onto Spitting Image

Didn't the Wimbledon MP mention us after the 1988 Cup Final? Shame on him.

Alan - our previous pop up in Parliament was in 1986 when Thatcher was saying, iirc, what a meritocracy the UK was including the line 'if Wimbledon can reach the First Division'.

Are emojis bigger when shown on mobiles? Even with a large monitor on my PC they are too small for me to distinguish betwen so I follow a4e's advice of ignoring them

Blair in his last PMQ's said it was a daft rule

Woking - sorry…. People can always scroll past the emojis they don’t like… 😇

Good fight from England's batters.

Perhaps we should ban emojis on here too

Years back I played for Wimbledon Rangers in the South Thameside League. We were top of the premier division halfway through the season. However, we had a player who for whatever reason hadn't signed the registration form. He had played for us for 5 years and was happily signing the match card each week. We had all the points deducted for the games in which he played despite it being an admin error and no attempt to play a ringer. Oddly, the league registration secretary was the an official of the club in 2nd place 🤔🤔

Wasn't he called Turdey by many at that time? Perhaps that's what he complained about.

The way I remember Darlogate was that the FA realised their rules were not fit for purpose when a long term accidental registration offence happened. So they appointed someone to oversee the appeal with the intention of cutting the penalty drastically and then turning that into the ongoing penalty. I think you now only lose 3 points unless they think you were taking the piss.

A4E my eyesight is too weak to differentiate emojis on this site so I ignore totally them

Darlogate and not being allowed into the Rymans were both down to rules although wasn't there some discretion / leeway possible on Darlogate?

ML, no yjey didn't, which shows where their priority lies

Anyone know if Northampton played their strongest team against Luton yesterday in EFL trophy

Bloody hope that doesn’t happen, Trigg - it’s time we put on a really good show at home… 🤞🥳

Naz I think the talk is of us typically being crap against them.
