I see Thiago was booked for the shirt off goal celebration last night. Why do players still do that? If I was a manager then it would be a massive fine for any of my players who received a totally unnecessary booking like that.

[Link] Louis Skiverton son of Terry plays for Yeovil U-19.

Oxford - depending on what he had, it can take 3 months simply to start walking properly again.

I imagine that, if he's had ankle sugery, he can't drive

Anyone know what's going on with Terry Skiverton? Could never quite understand why ankle surgery meant he couldn't be at any matches, but it's been 2.5 months now. There's a photo of him on twitter at a Yeovil under 19s match in late August. All seems a bit odd to me and the club have said nothing for ages.

Morning all. I'm covering Orient v St Evenage today, so going through east London will be interesting...

I don't know Gary Davis but happy to give him a chance to do a good job. Torn about whether to offer my experience.

Millwall vs West Ham at 12.30 too - could be a laugh…. [Link]

Corinthian Casuals are at home to Yateley United at 3pm - not really any AFCW connections there atm, but still a footy fix if anyone needs one…

Decent link that Silk. It’s great to see the likes of Brentford and Brighton and Bournemouth doing so much better than man United spudz and chelshiit

Just reading back and got the chronogoy of 2 posts mixed up... "“An ESG Chair appointed by the board and affirmed by members.” - when do we affirm the appointment then or do we not get a say?" followed by "it absolutely stunk the place out!"

For us I think the signings of Stockley, Bursik and Sweeney have improved the side (even from last season). I also think Harrison starting has helped us defensively. A sign that good recruitment and even choosing a manager who can manage to the clubs strengths will do wonders.

Cheers Silk, could have been written better, but that would make sense I guess

He had a nice perm on top of the pops back in the day

I think they mean the members of the DTB.

Another non Womble Saturday. Boo. Gives me time to read my dons trust newsletter that says “Gary Davis has agreed to take on the role of ESG Chair for the 2026 Elections.”. And they are seeking ESG members now. But when I look at the terms of reference to apply it says - “An ESG Chair appointed by the board and affirmed by members.” - when do we affirm the appointment then or do we not get a say?

That United 93 shirt didn't land very well for Oxford did it ?

I remember when Godfrey's (now tooting and mitcham?) Mates spiked his drinks with vodka in The Frank Whittle Lutterworth(one of our exsec coach stop offs for midland matches), he chucked up all over the toilets, had to go back in with mop and bucket😂

Airsy: it absolutely stunk the place out!

Yeah but Chelsea are the old Chelsea too.

Brentford are the old wimbledon😂

Exactly - they made a mistake, now move on…

and I had to gimp out my unfortunate wording!

I wouldn't blame anyone, just unfortunate, withdraw the items and move on. Pity it turned into into a news story at all.
