So Jack Dixon not playing but Omar Koroma is. Anyone?
Should be this former national team player for Gambia. If I got it right on the other message board, he played in the friendly on sunday, as well.

Definitely heard homophobic comments made in the first half. Disgusting stuff. Some of the Maidstone fans are fine, but some are total retards. Didn't notice their support at Sittingbourne a few years ago when the club was on its arse. Plastic, glory hunting tossbags.
The Maidstone fans I've chatted to at the games have always been splendid, friendly people - same applies to what I've seen from their supporters posting on various forums - but there's no denying that there is a really unpleasant minority of near-cavemen there.Definitely heard homophobic comments made in the first half.

It reminds me of Jeff Goldblum in 'The Fly' - but a lobster instead of a fly.
Yes, the Maidstone supporters I've actually chatted to over the years (and a few more last night while killing time in the 'Spoons next to the station before catching the 2248 train home) are among the most fair and knowlegeble football fans I've come across, but with the advent of their new ground and a winning team it does appear that a few people with a Football League mentality have hopped aboard the bandwagon. It's clear some of them can't handle away fans standing in "their" end and take it as some sort of challenge to themselves. One peabrain last night came and stood right next to the Rabble just before kick off. As soon as we began chanting he was screaming "SHUT UP" from a few feet away, to little effect. He was intermittently shouting things at us, but was more or less drowned out. (At one point I thought he might have been shouting "homos, homos", but couldn't be sure.) Then on several occasions he moved sideways to stand in front of us with his scarf raised above his head to block the view of Hamlet fans behind him. I mean, how utterly, pathetically juvenile.The Maidstone fans I've chatted to at the games have always been splendid, friendly people - same applies to what I've seen from their supporters posting on various forums - but there's no denying that there is a really unpleasant minority of near-cavemen there.
Some are like the humourless, aggressive halfwits who I remember from my time following Cardiff around. One bloke actually did the 'staring out' routine at me, which was particularly tragic.
It's a real shame because there's a lot to like about Maidstone, but every time I've stood in their 'home' end there's never been a shortage of homophobic comments and testosterone-inflated buffoons keen to recreate the 'Football Terrace c. 1972 Experience'.
And their mob-handed stewards were positively ridiculous tonight. It's almost like they wanted to get a reaction.
Still a good game which Hamlet were lucky to get a point from. Maidstone have got a good team there,
I hope they have the courage to turf out the wankers because it really is spoiling the vibe there, and it's not like they're hard to spot.But the whole game was ruined by some of our support, & I loath to call the supporters. I had to go for a piss & while in there, had a stupid row with two blokes who were going on about "the ref is booking more of ours because they're all black", "can't tell their players apart, they all look the same".....,..The usual shitey comments. I couldn't not have a go back, I'm absolutey livid that we apparently support the same team, & then to hear it on the terracing as well was the most depressing thing I've ever heard at Maidstone. It almost made me just leave the ground & never set foot in it again. Apparently after looking on Twitter, it wasn't an isolated occurrence.
& can somebody who was singing that they hate Dulwich, actually explain why they do? Dulwich are a fantastic club, their support is brilliant & after speaking to their commercial director, I have nothing but respect for their whole set up.
After the brilliance of Sunday, it wasn't our players who let us down last night, it was us.

As fans its important to recognise that these re a minority of Maidstone United fans (so called) and I know some of their fans reading this report will be pleased that we recognise this
But to be honest Maidstone United fans asked for racists to be removed after the game in March 2014 - was anyone actually barred ???
If MUFC are serious about Kick racism out of football - the club need to act
I fear that with Dulwich Hamlet having one of the few black managers and with many black players (and I know some of MUFCplayers) - racists seem to feel free to have a go -
Its not and has never been acceptable to hurl racist abuse - MUFC have extensive videoing and stewards - lets see what action is taken this time (if anything ????) we are right behind "Stones" fans demanding action - its the Club that needs to act
Good to see honest report "sweeping nothing under the carpet report" by MUFC fans trying to put an end to this unacceptable behaviour

Sorry about that. Next time I will endeavour to locate appropriate, follically-boosting lighting.Slight complaint here about the photos. They make me look bald.
