Dulwich Hamlet FC 2013-2014 season - chat, rumours, reports

[vornstyle76]

"Now, to the controversial bits. Don't shoot me, kick the cat or poison your mother... I'm just asking the questions, man. First off - Would you vote for the club changing its name to Brixton Rovers in return for a corporate takeover, long-term ground security and £3million pound investment to the playing budget over 5 years?"

is that a possibility?

Along with Phil Wilson winning a Grand Slam tennis competition in the next year. Though, you never know with Dessie, he's a man with thumbs in pies. And whilst both my cats were well and truly kicked, it does raise interesting questions. Such a move would probably be very beneficial - in purely pragmatic terms - to the club given Brixton gentrification's in love with the idea of 'Brixton' (Tim Butler) qualities. But fuck that. If we wanted to be sensible we'd all be watching internet streams of Barcelona or Bayern Munich.

No No No

No team but Dulwich Hamlet FC

Of course we still have Nunhead FC RIP (as our deceased, departed team - always present)

I've had two people now, friends of friends who admittedly aren't into football, who genuinely assumed "Dulwich Hamlet" was some sort of art prank I was going to a lot of effort to stage.

I might be missing something, but has anyone ever thought of making a chant to the tune of Rebel Rebel, using the words Rabble Rabble?

Home to the Met Police in the next round of the cup.

Bowie was a South Londoner after all!

A little Hamlet feature from a personal perspective;

[Cassiusclayvey]

Not exactly Shakespearean, but it's lively! :

Rabble Rabble, the car wash end
Rabble Rabble, the car wash end

Then bounce up and down whilst singing the riff?

 

[vornstyle76]

I made a very uninspired attempt to 'translate' all the lyrics, but didn't get any further than "You've got your mother eating her own poo / she's not sure if you're a pink or a blue" before realising i was gushing pure nonsense.

Heading there shortly with a *beastly* hangover.

 

[magneze]

I'll be there soon. Early for a change!

 

[magneze]

Ooh, the PA works!

2-0 Nice to see the Hamlet and have a sing. Had been too long. :-D

 

[el-ahrairah]

nice one

Slightly odd game imo. Hendon never looked threatening but Dulwich never really quite clicked either. I cant explain how the second went in. Quality keeper-baiting though.

 

[vornstyle76]

Atmosphere a bit flat and we didn't play well. Saved by Hendon goalie's 2nd half clown antics. I don't think it's hyperbolic to claim Thomas, the 10 year old kid who clearly got into the keeper's head, was our star performer. Maidstone will take us apart on and off the pitch on Tuesday if we repeat this.

 

[PartisanDulwich]

As stated Hamlet never clicked , but then again didn't think we would consed

Goalie baiting was highest quality

"small badge - small beard" very effective

"Are you Nick Clegg in disguise"

"Are those clown shoes your wearing"

Love it with free kicks when we direct the wall "Left" or "Right" alternating excellent also "2 in the wall" shouts


Rabble finally got going in second half

Robs failure to deliver bear baiting at half time as promised in his excellent poster probably contributed to the less than usual sexy football from the Hamlet

Attendance at 551 not bad for Saturday before Christmas - Two teams got less than 100 in our league including poor Thamesmead got just 76

Beard baiting.

updates pls people.

also, i've decided i want a pink flag with a light blue hammer and sickle on it. i am a ham-fisted motherlover so it might not turn out very good though.

i've bought the pink flag now. phase one is complete. i hope in the chilly new year to be standing at the car wash end in my soviet greatcoat and faux-russian hat with a pink-and-blue soviet flag. now that's art.
