On the other Fulham site, it says that at least 3 Fulham players have tested positive to the virus, as quoted by a BBC programme. I have listened to sports programmes, but nothing has been mentioned, so has anyone else heard anything about this, as there is nothing on the clubs official website either.

posted by OWEN (Guest) - Wednesday 27th May 2020, 5:58 PM By the time the first ball is kicked in the league's resumption, the teams will not have played competitively for over 3 months. This break is longer than the normal summer break including pre-season matches. We will be going into these full blown matches relatively cold without the usual pre-season warm up. we tend to start our campaigns slowly and our starting match against B'ford is going to be tough. We have got to hit the ground running being strong and competitive and can not sit back and rely on playing our pretty style of football to see us through.

posted by O David (Guest) - Monday 25th May 2020, 8:12 PM Where i live the authorities do not give a hoot about social distancing. I think they broke up one party and publicized it and that is about as far as they went. 2 motorbikes where confiscated apparently and i don't know how the poor chaps got to where they were going? I think that happened in one of the posher areas of town. England is a far more darker place when neighbors grass on each other, i find it shocking. It seems to happen in the more affluent areas surprisingly. The most important detail we need to see to now is work! Peddle to the meddle is needed now and anyone ready and able for work is needed. I don't know how talented Dominic Cummings is to Boris? Put it this way, if he was Mitrovic, there is no way i would even consider sacking him. Then again i am talking football and i suppose it is debatable if football is a job. That Scottish minister sacked one of hers and i guess she was replaceable and not talented enough for Scotland...

posted by Rob (Guest) - Tuesday 26th May 2020, 2:13 PM BillyBee, people were breaking the rules from the very start of this lockdown and much worse than Cummings. People where i live held parties and some were well documented in the news. We have the community police who allegedly do not have any powers whatsoever and they do their best to break up groups of people from the beginning of the virus but to no avail. Sadly these guys have given up the ghost around the area. Let's just say that some communities socialize openly with family and friends. There are no arrest whatsoever, maybe because the authorities don't care about certain folks? The jails would be so full the authorities wouldn't be able to keep the lights on in the jails? I consider myself working class but i couldn't vote for the idiot's brigade under labour. I turned and voted for Boris this time around. Cummings is maybe a little arrogant but he would i would say be a touch treated unfairly judging from what i have observed. Things will go one of two ways after this with labour gaining more votes from the so called unpopular Boris who they say is useless, or Boris could gain more votes in popularity and surprise a few people who hate him. Firstly i believe in God and i vote consevatives. My council house is paid for thanks to the help of the good Lord. Maggie Thathcher encouraged me to do that. I wish Cummings the best because many more people have behaved badly under this lockdown more so than him. There has always been rich and poor in this world from biblical times and that is the way how the cookie is. Corbyn's dream of destroying the rich and everybody equal will never happen. There has always been Kings, Master of the house, servants, etc. Let us all accept that and move on because there is much work to be done. Lets all get back to work and maybe we will have some football and Fulham again.

posted by DMK (Guest) - Wednesday 27th May 2020, 12:05 AM All I and I would hope that you would all agree is we want our leaders to be honest. It seems incongruous that he said he was testing his eyes. Funny he had his son and wife with him especially as it was his wife’s birthday. Anyway it happened here and he resigned his position. But they serve their penance and come back later. More importantly can someone tell me the latest on Fulham long term injured players?
posted by Oz Nick (Guest) - Wednesday 27th May 2020, 3:58 AM The new Fulham setup under the Khans keeps injury news very quiet. Never much info about recovery expectations etc but would hope most the team is fit after this break.

posted by O David (Guest) - Wednesday 27th May 2020, 12:19 PM I agree guy's that Cummings should have stepped up in the honesty stakes but right from the start in my hometown Derby, folks have broken the rules concerning lockdown. Our local police don't seem to care. Where i live they send out more community police on the beat to sort of look the part. Community police don't have the full powers and they do their best to encourage people to stay off the streets and not congregate together socially. I am not posh or affluent or anything like that but it seems like the posh people are getting the full force of the law concerning this virus. Matlock Bikers singled out is different. 2

posted by KUNYE (Guest) - Saturday 23rd May 2020, 5:11 PM Mawson played first halve of season with injury till Hector could play so hardly did training Knockaert works his socks off.Mitrovic mostly does Jim tracing for upper body strength .one I know who says he’s not good at training is McDonald .

Great player and glad he has signed..to compare him with Matt is not relevant. Fabio is more Pat Roberts and Ive seen him many times..Fabio is a class player and stronger than people would think..his greatest asset is he reads the game better than most..however..if I was Tony Kahn the MOR is a player who is unique..6 foot 3 but runs faster than most (Little guys look faster) ..dictates the tempo of the game and stats back that up..U23's chances created ..he had more than rest of team last season..Can play Deep or offensive and in his games with the first team games has been in top 2-3 outfield players..and he's 19 which is v young for a CM..Both great but teams are built around MOR's..Also a concern Fabio only has a 2 year deal..
posted by DT (Guest) - Friday 22nd May 2020, 10:07 PM Was interested in O'Reilly as apparently a couple of clubs over here were interested..Saw a article in the athletic and even Harry Arter is raving about him..says he's the guy who seems to be fitter than anyone..only seen him on video and once on a game but he seems the real deal..hope he stays..I would say the reason a lot of the good ones and why they leave..the club just go out and but players..FFC are the Man City of the championship so its tough for these guys when they take Schurle on loan at 5m a year then spend 50m on players they loan out..what message is that to player??

posted by DMK (Guest) - Friday 22nd May 2020, 11:26 PM Whenever I’ve seen Matt o Reilly play he’s certainly talented but looks too slow for the championship let alone top flight. It’s not only about talent it’s more about nerves ,confidence ,injuries and more importantly a slice of luck,seen so many young players who look world beaters but never make it.
posted by Chief (Guest) - Saturday 23rd May 2020, 7:09 AM The likes of Sean Davis probably would not have made it in todays game. Circumstances fell in his favor, he was fortune to come into a struggling side in the old 4th division and was good enough to prove his worth in every division he played for us. Today, I doubt he would have been given the chance and like Matt O'Reilly, find it difficult to break into and stay in the first team. I feel sorry for our young talent when the Club pays millions for over rated, over paid garbage like the Knockaerts of this World.
posted by mwk (Guest) - Saturday 23rd May 2020, 8:26 AM Lots don’t make it but Keegan Tigina we’re spending loads when Davis was playing
posted by DMK (Guest) - Saturday 23rd May 2020, 9:02 AM Ive been watching MOR for last two years..abroad the only real stats and views you get are first team and some of the trpohy games. Of the ones e have stats on him he covers more K thna virtually anyone. He also created more chances and key passes than anyone when playing forward. Versus SOuthampton this year he was viewed as the best outfield player. SO I thinkhe is so very different from the others..also athleticism?? Ive seen his stats and his coverage.He is fast strong and covers ground more than most. Because his height makes people think he's slow. If ever you get the chance wacth him nail Redmond from soton in a chase from one end to the other.. I think he will stay and be intergral if he gets a chance..if not then he will in demand but my gut says he wants to do it at Fulham..shame if he doesnt get the chance. Personally think he is better than Sessegnons Roberts and any of the others.It just is harder for CM's to get the break a

posted by KUNYE (Guest) - Friday 22nd May 2020, 12:34 PM One Rodak even says he needed his two seasons on loan at Rotherham he’s in the side now must be happy signed 4 year deal praised Parker for giving him his chance and Betts for helping him Two Cody has promise that’s why clubs are looking at him not ready for first team Parker will know when he does watch the kids and has them training with first team. 3 fell Odio done better job for club than he gets credit for. Even Christie now playing better under Parker Steve Sessegnon started well but like Cody still leaning and had to be rested 4 if Cody goes to Man City be only for money will get less games than Roberts. As for Parker when he took over club was in a mes his respected in the game and are 3rd in table. Your right we have got some good kids that’s why clubs look at them, but you can’t put them all in at once you choose the right time like we did with Rodak
posted by DMK (Guest) - Friday 22nd May 2020, 6:48 PM DMK' Kunye, i don't always agree with but he does make more training and reserve games than most fans. Rodak, i will give him that accolade, Kunye was raving on about him a long time before his debut. Cody i don't know anything about but concerning Christie? He will almost certainly revert back to type, Christie i think is still not good enough for the step-up to the prem. I agree that Christie is playing a lot better in our latter games because he must take his chance now he is so long on the bench. Christie must learn to deal with the trickier and clever forwards who will roll him silly each time he comes up against them. Fair enough, if we stay in the Championships Christie might cope with the best of them 7 times out of a 10? The Problem with christie is that he most certainly will need to bring his 'A' game to the table every match. Most half-decent players who are benched for so many games will bring it to the table but most certainly will revert back to type and thats Cyrus Christie in a nut-shell. I disagree DMK' Steve Sessegnon is poor and there is nothing special about him like his Brother. Steve Sess will never make a right-back, not a decent one anyway. Dennis Odoi is still our best option as a utility player and i think we are lucky to have him. Odoi can be a touch calamity because of his over exuberance but we can forgive him for that. Fulham fans should remember the special things that Odoi brings to the table for Fulham like the goal against Derby to make the play-offs. I agree that Odoi like Berbatov is sporadic and he does not do the good things enough ut he has a touch of class about him. Odoi can roll an opponent and make inroads towards goal and pick a pass which he has done in games, and i am still in awe of him for that ball of the back against Newcastle in our great victory so long ago now. Christie will need more improvement still if he to leave Fulham fans with memorable moments like Odoi has done. The jury is still out for me concerning Scott Parker. Give us a promotion like Slavisa did and then we can assess Parker. Slavisa didn't keep us in the prem, but howe of Bournemouth did not first time around. Howe got another chance through loyal Bournmouth people. Arizonan will probabely be on my case for putting him to sleep for my long post, so i will put an end to my 'er' manuscript now...
posted by OWEN (Guest) - Friday 22nd May 2020, 7:51 PM Take your point with Christie Owen not good enough for prem but Parker improved him Odio makes mistakes never hides always gives 100 percent every club needs one, as for Berbatove lazy only thinks of himself one of main reasons we went down bad signing Cody’s ok could be good but is a right back swaps to left back with Fossey so both get a game but they don’t really look happy there but does them good. Hope Fossey still makes it been very unlucky with injury’s

posted by Keetch54 - Thursday 21st May 2020, 7:04 AM I miss the old boy who used to sit in front of me in The Stevenage Road Stand, shouting "Steady the Buffs!" every time we were under pressure.
posted by Hints - Thursday 21st May 2020, 7:43 AM I used to go to the enclosure for nearly all the games but have sat further back on the wooden seats since the plastic seats were built in the enclosure. From time to time I have tried every part of the ground including the Putney end just to see. I've never been in a box though.
posted by Baz (Moderator) - Thursday 21st May 2020, 8:16 AM My season ticket is situated roughly where I used to stand with my kids (now in their 30's) in the enclosure and I miss both.

The guy that its next to me has sat there since those seats were built and he stood next to me in the enclosure before that. We've spoken thousands of times but I only found out his name the season before last and now although we keep in touch via e-mail, I miss his company.

posted by MST (Moderator) - Thursday 21st May 2020, 8:20 AM I used to stand initially in the Putney end in the 60’s. There was this mad Italian in a pork pie hat, who whenever we crossed the half way line would shout “ shoot !!” at the top of his voice. As far as I can recall, he never said anything else. Don’t get me started about the blke with the trumpet.....
posted by Keetch54 - Thursday 21st May 2020, 9:30 AM Also, I knew when gentrification had finally hit the Cottage when I eventually progressed ( via a period in the enclosure ) to the Hammersmith end and the bloke next to me accompanied by a shooting stick would shout “ come along now chaps, rally!! “ whenever we were under pressure.
posted by Keetch54 - Thursday 21st May 2020, 9:33 AM Dont rate being in a box baz, to quiet,cant stand the haynes stand , never know how it passes fire risk,the depth of the steps to climb up or down is just absurd.OH for the days of standing at putney end just seeing over the cross bar, the smell of old holborn, and the joy of walking home sodding soaked to the skin and and having to tell people the result when asked that we lost , again!!.
posted by the real arch bishop (Guest) - Thursday 21st May 2020, 11:49 AM Keetch54 thank you for your post. I can confirm that the man shouting ‘come along chaps rally’ was my dad Paul Arend. He loved to use that phrase to make people laugh. Such a gentleman and very witty. I would have been sat the other side. Dad used to get very passionate when watching our beloved Fulham I’m sure you may have recieved the odd shoulder barge where he used to act every players movement. I have so many amazing memories at the cottage ive watched from every part of the ground. My favourite standing in the the Hammersmith end. Even used to regularly sit next to the dug out as my grandpa was in his wheelchair. Sadly dad passed away 3 years ago after a long battle with cancer. The last game he watched at the cottage was a 5 nil win. He made it to Hamburg to watch the final which Dad was so proud of. And I’m sure he was looking over us at Wembley

posted by Broadsword (Guest) - Thursday 21st May 2020, 9:27 PM In recent years I had progressed to block W of the Riverside stand within touching distance of the Director’s box. There was a legendary character called Abraham who was more affectionately known as the ‘bubble’ as everyone assumed he was Greek. I lost count of the times he was warned about his behaviour which could include ( at the top of his voice ) “ Sit down Ferguson you poof ! “ “ hooligans! Bloody hooligans! “and general berating at maybe 10/15 feet distance to the oppositions Directors for which the club tried to remove his season ticket prompting some of us to contact the club and appeal on his behalf. His grandson told us he had passed away in the close season in his 80’s , of a heart attack and apparently his last comment to the paramedics as they wheeled him out of his house was “ I hope you lot know what you are doing”. A great bloke, much missed, and Fulham through and through.

Pity then that you also wrote -"Arizonan, I agree totally with your post although, as yet, I have not read the joke to which you refer. Unfortunately, it appears minority groups have taken over, especially in England, and we are all expected to admire them. Personally, I don't but I suppose there are entitled to do as they like so long as it does not affect me. However, I object to local councils using my money to support and subsidise "Gay Pride Marches", LGTG and many other groups. There was a "Gay Pride March" in our borough and when I asked the Council if they had used Council Tax Money to subsidise it I was informed a £25,000 contribution had been made. In addition, the cost of providing police to escort the march, road closures and considerable inconvenience to the general public must have also added to the cost. I wonder if Councils would be prepared to support an heterosexual march? I think not. The big London Pride March, which is given considerable television coverage on news reports most cost tax payers thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, and the sight of them all prancing around disgusts me. Sometimes I wonder if us normal people are the minority. Well posted Ari."

posted by O David. (Guest) - Sunday 17th May 2020, 10:12 PM Broadsword and David I admitted I had prejudices but my point was quite clear that too many posters have crossed the line and one and all should take a step back. Why are you trying to perpetuate something we should now say "Enough is Enough"
posted by bigboy4650b (Guest) - Sunday 17th May 2020, 10:35 PM You also said you don’t express them unless deliberately goaded. There was no goading, just a bandwagon. I appreciate that you are least now trying defuse the situation. But until the moderators step up, enough will never be enough’. We will continue having arguments about something which is clearly not appropriate on this site. There will always be posts like that of Arizonians that seemingly create a problem where there was not one before. Perhaps if we ALL agree for tighter moderation it’ll be a more pleasant experience for everyone.

Manxman. It's a nice idea but it won't work. The only thing that we all have in common is a love of Fulham FC and even when a post is about football there are huge differences of opinion. There are people on this board who, judging from their posts, I would hate on sight. I am positive that some of them would say the same about me. I think we should all take the view that if a post offends us, or doesn't meet our idea of what is appropriate for a football messageboard, either ignore it or put a counter argument. If one person wishes to ignore, wait for a new thread and don't get upset if someone else wishes to challenge.

posted by Chief (Guest) - Sunday 17th May 2020, 8:13 PM Keep being told this is not a Fulham forum. Struggle to understand why it says ‘Fulham F.C. message board’ at the top of the screen then. Geezer would you care to explain that one? Can’t see ‘messagebord for sad men to poke fun at minorities anywhere’. Perhaps you should find a more appropriate place to be vile. This site just needs a little bit of intelligent moderation so we can discuss FULHAM. Sick of being bullied for challenging discrimination on here - wouldn’t have to if the moderators... moderated.

I accept that an all powerful being would be able to "creat" science as a misdirection and a test. I also believe that if God exists and allows the suffering that occurs then he doesn't love his children and is not worthy of our love or respect.

Seems people On here see only what they want to see. No issue with the jokes, I even join in from time to time, just hate the unnecessary desire to Be vile. @imp - I was david is until someone else started posting as David. I was ashamed a year ago. But that’s it. Crazy to think I am not alone in my beliefs. I do not beleive in Christ and I am not religious but that doesn’t mean I ridicule those who beleive in god. Weird how offended people have been getting though, double standards really.

posted by Fulham born and bred Dave (Guest) - Saturday 16th May 2020, 7:24 AM The Jamaican joke is about accent, the Saudi joke is about a camel ffs. Mals joke above is truly offensive. As to the crucifixion - note the spelling - the difference is that the LGBT community actually exist.

posted by Mal (Guest) - Saturday 16th May 2020, 8:44 AM Agree with Map that offensive is, to a certain extent, objective. My point is that jokes based on mishearing an accent are common. There are jokes about the many regional UK accents that would not be considered offensive. The camel joke is a play on words and is not an anti Arab joke.

posted by Tony R (Guest) - Saturday 16th May 2020, 10:21 AM Arizonan, I agree totally with your post although, as yet, I have not read the joke to which you refer. Unfortunately, it appears minority groups have taken over, especially in England, and we are all expected to admire them. Personally, I don't but I suppose there are entitled to do as they like so long as it does not affect me. However, I object to local councils using my money to support and subsidise "Gay Pride Marches", LGTG and many other groups. There was a "Gay Pride March" in our borough and when I asked the Council if they had used Council Tax Money to subsidise it I was informed a £25,000 contribution had been made. In addition, the cost of providing police to escort the march, road closures and considerable inconvenience to the general public must have also added to the cost. I wonder if Councils would be prepared to support an heterosexual march? I think not. The big London Pride March, which is given considerable television coverage on news reports most cost tax payers thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, and the sight of them all prancing around disgusts me. Sometimes I wonder if us normal people are the minority. Well posted Ari.
posted by bigboy4650 (Guest) - Saturday 16th May 2020, 10:21 AM Arizonan. I have addressed the original post. You made reference to three jokes from yesterday and the LGBT community. My posts responded to all these points but if you really are that stupid I will recap. Jokes about accents are generally not seen as offensive. The Saudi joke was not actually about Saudi's/Arabs as such. Now the controversal bit. LGBT people are real and alive now. Jesus may or may not have existed but definitely was not the son of God because he doesn't exist. Have you got it now?
posted by Broadsword (Guest) - Saturday 16th May 2020, 11:14 AM BigBoy, when you were on the phone to the Council, did you also voice your objection to money coming out of the same pot to fund policing at football matches? Thought not. Without that contribution the clubs would have to foot the whole bill and in turn ticket prices increase

posted by Malcolm (Guest) - Saturday 16th May 2020, 1:00 PM Ari. You really are a horrible piece of work. You are ‘ashamed’ of people because they won’t discriminate against a minority group on a football site. You joke. I don’t get why it is so important to you to be a nasty little biggot on a Fulham sight? We come here for football, not the crusade of an angry old man. Why must you start a whole conversation thread around your rights to be a horrible little c’’t? Making jokes against peoples race, sexuality or gender can be offensive and as a football community who come here to feel part of the club, maybe this isn’t the place. I’m sure there are plenty of message boards for you to go and learn and tell jokes that would get you kicked out of the stadium on a match day… if you ever went, but you sit on a ranch in Arizona being a keyboard warrior, existing in a little southern bubble where you all still don white hoods and confederate flags. Go f**k yourself you unbelievable twat.

Neither is So Cal. But facts aren’t important to you. I live near West Hollywood and have many gay friends workmates and associates. Even been to a couple pride parades with them. If I had them read your nonsense they would be disgusted with you. You would be the last person they would want defending them. Your arguments suck and are full of hyprocisy every single time i.e. defending the LGBT whilst stereotyping every US southerner negatively. They talk more crap to each other and tell worse jokes than anything on here. But in the end ( no pun intended ) the only gay joke they won’t tolerate is you.

I wonder what has happen to him. So i dont think we need the virus to miss other fans that have pass over.
posted by geezer (Guest) - Friday 15th May 2020, 9:18 PM It’s a nice piece possibly written by somebody directly effected, but Geezer is obviously quite correct with his comment. There is another club (thought it was Burnley) regularly pay tribute to fans lost over a specific period with photos on the big screen & applause, indicating ‘one club, one family’, which is quite a nice touch, although some would probably say that the minutes applause is starting to be over used, and that an entry in the match day programme is quite sufficient

posted by O David (Guest) - Saturday 16th May 2020, 1:50 PM For his first year of first team football he has done extremely well. With experience will get even better. Great move signing him. Kudos to the academy for his development and the much maligned TK for extending him. We really do have one of the best academies in England. Hope the Khans start figuring out how to best utilize it. Congrats Keep! Look forward to seeing you between the sticks for a long time.

“Laura Lou is the name of the horse I backed two weeks ago and won, don’t you remember me coming home and giving you flowers and chocolates?”
“Oh darling, I am so sorry she said, “I should have known there was an innocent explanation”.
Three days later she creeps up behind him again and whacks him across the head with the frying pan.

posted by KUNYE (Guest) - Friday 15th May 2020, 5:59 PM We need Mitrovic and he is obviously our main striker. Mitrovic isn't the most mobile so we need somebody with pace. We have Kamara and it is debatable on whether we keep him? Personally he needs to improve and i would 100% back him to improve. His pace when running at defenders is frightening and i hope he learns a bit more self-control when running at goal. Some nice touches from Kamara tells me that he can improve. I personally would go for another striker who can think differently from Mitrovic and i would keep an eye on Patrick Bamford from Leeds. Bamford isn't everyone's cup of tea yet he fits the profile of a striker that can fit in to our over-passing and over-thinking style of play. Not every Fulham fan will go with that point of view but Bamford at 26 and being likened to marmite would not cost a bomb. Get the posh-boy down here at the Cottage and we could add another dimension to our style. Mitrovic will be well chaperoned and we do need somebody different...
posted by OWEN (Guest) - Friday 15th May 2020, 6:40 PM Not sure we could get bamford. Especially if Leeds go up. I would imagine Bobby Reid is the player you are looking for. Goes down to Parker tactics though. Would like to see him playing off mitro. Think he will only improve.
posted by O David (Guest) - Friday 15th May 2020, 8:03 PM Bamford needs 20 chances to score and misses more than he scores idiot!!
posted by Impartial (Guest) - Friday 15th May 2020, 8:38 PM We already have Ready on board and it would be great to see him playing off Mitrovic. It would be even better if either Kabano or any of the others play off Mitro and any of this works. Goodness knows that so far, all the Parker tactics do not seem to click. Leeds are on a collision course when it comes to budget and player recruitment etc. Promotion is vital to Leeds in general. There are higher thought of players besides Bamford with Leeds. Bamford is likened to Marmite, love him or hate him. He could be surplus to requirements in the transfer merry-go-round. Bamford has never really settled down at any particular club whatsoever. Fulham always do okay with these wondering around types that have ability.

R=0 at less than one. In other words that each infected person does not spread it beyond less than one other person on average. Right now we are at a bout R=0.7 which, is just about acceptable.

posted by Confused (Guest) - Wednesday 13th May 2020, 8:05 AM I suggest you read the 50 page white paper produced by the government with clear and technical data from SAGE.

Right now England is in the situation whereby each infected person, on average passes the virus onto 0.7 other people. ergo, the R=0 number 0.7.

The aim is to keep that number reducing and for it never to climb above R=0 1.0 (common flu has an R=0 of 1.0) because at 1.5 and higher it becomes epidemic again.

Of course the number is higher in some communities than others but the same can be said about it being lower and of course, we all know that it is higher in nursing homes than the average BUT the average R=0 IS 0.7 with c136,000 people currently infected in the UK.

I suggest that you do a littel more investigation yourself confused as to become less confused ;0). I work in the PPE industry and work with this stuff every day of my working life. I am not an expert but I do not pay attention to rumour, paper speculation, BBC or ITN news, I read the facts ;0).

Nice memories. But, Berlin to Hamburg is only around 180 miles and it took ...7 hours?! If so it meant that you travelled 25 mph on autobahns were there is no speed limit but you say you got a speeding ticket. Urgent explanation required please.
posted by Marbella White 1 - Tuesday 12th May 2020, 9:55 AM Really wish I'd been there but due the ridiculous ticketing policy for the game I couldn't get a ticket (even though I had three season tickets at the time).

I complained to Sandra Coles who eventually came up with two tickets in different parts of the ground two days before the game. Unfortunately though, by that time the price of flights became prohibitive (over £1k on KLM each way) even taking Ryanair into Silkeborg and driving to Hamburg.

So I have two unused tickets to this day but had to watch the game on TV wgich was rfeally disappointing although, lump in the throat, memorable....

posted by Tony R (Guest) - Tuesday 12th May 2020, 10:53 AM I had exactly the same problem. For some reason the club allowed each season ticket holder to buy six tickets each (6)!. Naturally these were snapped up immediately to appear on E Bay straight away meaning that many (most) season ticket holders couldn't get any. Despite having had a season ticket for years I couldn't get to the biggest game in the club's history.

Turns out it wasn’t and I was drinking a non alcohol beer - found that out 6 years later. Had a great day in Hamburg. Met some great people and ate some great food. Exchanged chants with Atletico fans the whole way on the bus. It was after the game where everything fell apart. Couldn’t find the airport coach we paid for so got public transport. We were the only Fulham fans on the bus. Then we waited at the airport in a single file queue as they loaded up planes on a first come first served basis. There was only 2 buses shuttling 30k fans onto planes from the terminal. No water in the terminal (saw 2 people collapse): Landed at a different airport to our tickets. Got home at 7am the next day after travelling all night. It’s like they didn’t know a European cup final was being played in their city.

I also had a few of the non-alcoholic beers before somebody kindly pointed out the deliberate mistake. The entire trip from the ground and onward to the UK was the most miserable I have ever felt.

posted by No surrender Dave (Guest) - Tuesday 12th May 2020, 9:21 AM OK, I accept that this might not be of much interest to many readers of a Fulham message board but hey, there’s not much going on. When the Protestant settlers came to the north of Ireland from Scotland they brought a lot of their own farming equipment with them and this included their own spades. These differed from the local spades by having the handle on the other side of the blade requiring the user to dig with the other foot. This became shorthand for distinguishing between the settlers and the indigenous farmers and by extension protestant from catholic. Much later it became corrupted to “kick with the other foot” which of course means nothing.

posted by Beat again (Guest) - Wednesday 13th May 2020, 12:55 AM Don't think so Beat or Noel and Tom. Great is short for The Greater British Isles meaning all the islands included in the land mass ie. Ireland, The Hebrides etc although not the Channel Islands probably because they are so close to France. The United Kingdom comprises England, Scotland, Wales and N.Ireland although they do seem to be less united these days...
posted by Hints - Wednesday 13th May 2020, 7:33 AM Completely wrong Hints. Great Britain is the ninth largest island island in the world and includes England Wales and Scotland. Ireland is a totally separate island. Northern Ireland is a part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland which more or less tells you that the two are not the same.
posted by Old Bloke (Guest) - Wednesday 13th May 2020, 8:19 AM Well I concede that's what Wikipedia says but Dai Watkins taught me very different. I have never heard the expression the United Kingdom of Britain and N.Ireland (which makes no geographical sense) before, it was either the UK or Great Britain. Don't know when/why that changed it so I'll stick with Dai.

I left the place 26 years ago and have no ambition to return, to live anyway, now. It WAS a Great place to live a few years ago, but from where I sit the Great has sadly been slowly diminished over the years by political correctness, self serving rent seekers and minority groups whose voices grow louder and louder as the man in the street becomes less and less engaged with what's happening to his country and the government become more and more flaccid. Fcuk me even the Jocks want out of it, that's when you know it's bad, when those rats start trying jump ship. It's more a,Sort of OK Britain, these days. You have a nice day now.. :)
posted by Hints - Wednesday 13th May 2020, 10:42 AM Hints, what you wrote is what I said are you are correct, Tom and Old Bloke wrong. I looked up britannica.com. If anyone wants to argue look it up. I quote from britannica.com website. The British Isles is a group of of islands off the north west of Europe, the two main islands are Britain and Ireland but also include the Hebrides...(and it goes on) The greater means the larger part.

Think you will find Scots had there chance and refused it think it’s only one person that’s in favour and she’s the leader and anti English admit standards are slipping but still the finest country in the would and I’ve seen a fair bit

Danny described that header as the most important goal he ever scored. He said it secured Fulham’s Prem status. More importantly, many jobs at grass roots were retained. If we’d been relegated there would have been a considerable cull of staff. Good old Danny!
