Postcard from Dulwich

[Tim Allman 1]

1-1 full time, won 4-2 on pens. 

We arrived at 6.30pm and had a couple beers in their clubhouse, and met Lambert and Chippy who were watching the football on TV and having a coffee. Plenty of City supporters arrived in the bar including one guy (an away regular I think) who walked in and the first thing he did was took a poster off the a pillar that was advertising the game and stuffed it in his bag! 

It was a poor game with not a great deal of quality on show. Nwaugo scored after 30 minutes running through the middle of their defence and we hit the post soon after. Steer made a very good save from a high shot which was Dulwich’s best chance of the first half which was fairly even.

City should have wrapped it up early in the second half, missed a bundle of chances and then let Dulwich back into it to equalise. We should have lost the game in the last minute when their player did a huge air shot when all he had to do was side foot the ball in. Extra time was quite open with City having most of the play as the Dulwich left back was sent off for two bookings.

Steer saved their first pen and their little no. 12 missed and we scored all of ours to win 4 2.

City''s best players were Tyree Clarke, Sam Habergan and Jed Steer. Dulwich''s quick and skilful no 7 Nyren Clunis looked very good as did their captain Ellis Wilson-Joseph.

Away fans - approx 50.

I have a hunch the poster thief may be the same individual who caused a minor diplomatic incident on the pre-season tour in Sweden last year when a vintage Ahlafors v Norwich City poster went missing from the clubhouse before being mysteriously found on the floor in the toilets after the alarm had been raised!

[Tim Allman 1]

When we were having a beer in the bar before the game I was informed by a pal that the supporter concerned does some previous for this type of incident. This was told to me before the poster was taken down from the pillar!

I also should have mentioned that I thought Ryan Oakley played well, and also one for all the SCG bashers on here as I saw three of them at the game. Youth team midweek away game 100+ miles from Norwich? That''s hard-core support.

I assume that Dulwich Hamlet''s ground was bigger than Paulton Rovers?

What you failed to notice Tim is that he (me) asked the Dulwich secretary if it was OK to remove poster & no it will not go on e bay & no not the same guy in Sweden (as other posters in this thread,sorry about pun) - stick to your match reports

See you all at Torquay

I wouldn''t worry my friend. Whatever the truth Babes will still question your honesty from afar. And the only place you''re likely to see him in Torquay is Fawlty Towers[;)]

Papers in yet Fawlty[O][D]
