Re: F A Cup Second Qualifying Round - Crowborough Athletic (H)

If Sodje refused to play then he should be first out of the door. Ince, and the whole story since Julian signed him, is just a total embarrassment now.

Re: F A Cup Second Qualifying Round - Crowborough Athletic (H)


Remember losing to Stanstead after a replay one year, drew at Beveree and travelled to the wilds of Essex / Hertfordshire. They were an Essex Senior League side and we were just embarking on our first season in the Isthmian League Division 1 following promotion the previous season. Not sure if ...

Re: F A Cup Second Qualifying Round - Crowborough Athletic (H)


In terms of humiliation, the closest I can think of is the 6-2 defeat at Arlesey in 11-12, the season we went down from NLS. However, they were just the one division below us, newly promoted into the Southern League Premier, and went on to finish 18th that season.


Ouch, yes, that one was pretty ...

Re: F A Cup Second Qualifying Round - Crowborough Athletic (H)


It would be interesting to hear the reasoning for Nash being brought back in. Was Underwood being dropped because of the third goal on Saturday, carrying a knock or something else? Sodje and De Havilland not picked in the squad, again injury or something else? And why did Ince not get off the ...

Re: F A Cup Second Qualifying Round - Crowborough Athletic (H)

Shocking result, absolutely no excuse for losing to a team two divisions below. Some idiot on twitter has just said "oh it's only the FA Cup" but that's not seeing tonight in the context of this very poor start to the season. (It also says a lot about how little the writer knows about non-league ...

Re: F A Cup Second Qualifying Round - Crowborough Athletic (H)


If we were to lose on Tuesday who do we even replace Dowse with?

Do we have the money to get Adam Murray down here looks bound to leave Hartlepool soon. Ian Selley out of leatherhead? Julian Dicks?


I haven't been able to get to many matches this season yet, a combo of occasional Saturday ...

Re: F A Cup Second Qualifying Round - Crowborough Athletic (H)


Dowse's upbeat Friday interview turned out to be , as I feared, just whistling in the dark. Somehow we came out of today with a replay but it was another shambolic performance. Mather gave us an early lead inside three minutes tapping in from close range from Max K's pass. He seems to know where ...

Re: F A Cup Second Qualifying Round - Crowborough Athletic (H)

Couldn't be there today, but been listening to the commentary. Sounded like an utter shambles but will await reports with interest. Whatever, that's a truly abysmal result against a club 2 divisions below.

Re: F A Cup Second Qualifying Round - Crowborough Athletic (H)


Crowborough sit in the bottom four of the Isthmian League South East.
This should be a nailed on home win, but we've been here before.


If everyone plays to their ability then we should be OK but that definitely hasn't always been the case this season. Crowborough will obvs be really up for it ...

Re: Those Were The Days; 18th September 1999

Re: 2026/27 Cup Competitions


What a shocking read. I was taken aback to learn that this kind of incident could occur under the umbrella of this football club. I sincerely hope that H&RBFC will address this asap and denounce it as exactly the sort of behaviour from which the club wishes to disassociate itself. This debacle ...
