John’s Jottings<br />
Good afternoon everyone welcome to Woodstock Park<br />
Our visitors this afternoon are Tooting and Mitcham. They have had an excellent start to the<br />
season and will be formidable opponents today. Welcome to their players officials and supporters<br />
and we hope they enjoy their short stay with us.<br />
Since our last programme we have disappointingly gone out of the Buildbase FA trophy. What<br />
was particularly disappointing was that we totally commanded the first half against a team who<br />
are riding high in their league ( Ryman North ). After hitting the bar and the post twice in the first<br />
20 minutes I <strong>full</strong>y expected us to go on and win the tie quite comfortably, however, Bury Town<br />
had different ideas. They got a goal with their first attack of the game ( totally against the run of<br />
play). The second half was a different story. None of the promise of the first half was fulfilled<br />
and a late second half goal sealed our fate and Bury went back to Suffolk £2500 better off after<br />
a smash and grab win.<br />
Last Saturday we visited Molesey and came away with a 1-1 draw. Our goal was scored by Jordan<br />
Gallacher. Missing in this match was Miles Cornwell who has signed for Folkestone Invicta.<br />
That is twice now Folkestone have taken our leading goalscorer this season. The first, of course<br />
was Harry Smith who has now signed for Millwall. With Harry we got a small payment when he<br />
moved to Millwall. Miles was not a contracted player so we had no choice but to let him go. We<br />
would not have stood in his way anyway as it was a team from a higher league that came in for<br />
him even if we could. Miles was offered a deal that we could not match. We wish Miles good<br />
luck at Folkestone. He was a model player for us and would be welcome back any time if it<br />
does not work out at Folkestone.<br />
Tuesday night it was a visit to Three Bridges. A very entertaining end to end game deserved<br />
more spectators than was there. After enduring the Liverpool V Manchester United match on<br />
Sunday I couldn’t help thinking that this match was far more entertaining. Three Bridges belied<br />
their lowly position and made a real game of it. Both goalkeepers were in great form and it took<br />
a late headed goal from Tom Carlse to settle it.<br />
Nick has signed a midfield player who has been playing for Corinthian in the SECL. He is also<br />
registered for Chatham Town who have now released his Ryman registration. Welcome to Joe<br />
Loft. We hope he enjoys his time with us.<br />
Well done to Mel Naylor and Christine Lowe for their interview with Pete Flynn on SFM with on<br />
Tuesday afternoon. Their passion for the club really came over. Most Fridays at or around mid<br />
day I can be heard on BRFM chatting to Peter Finch about the Brickies. KMTV have started a<br />
regular sports programme called “Team Talk” Peter and I were featured on the programme that<br />
aired on Monday 10th October. KMTV can be found on the internet at www.kentonline.co.uk/<br />
kmtv. My wife says I have “the perfect face for radio” which is a bit hurtful!<br />

From the Programme Editor<br />
First of all I want to thank Mel and Chris for the grand job that they did talking on SFM radio to<br />
Pete Flynn about the club and particularly the reforming of the supporters club. I thought they<br />
did an excellent job, well done. The fantastic Woodstock chef, Phil was also on SFM that same<br />
day talking about all things culinary, so all in all a great advert for Woodstock.<br />
SFM gives us lots of publicity and so a big thank you to them.<br />
I thought I would offer some news snippets from around the world for this programme starting<br />
with news from Ghana! Apparently top flight football in Ghana is suffering because players are<br />
indulging in too much loving, says a former boss of the national side.<br />
Mark Jibar believes players are too tired to perform on the pitch due to the extra time spent in<br />
the bedroom! “A lot of today’s players cannot play 90 minutes because they get so tired easily”<br />
said Jibar. “And you know why? Because they<br />
don’t sleep enough and don’t train enough and<br />
they engage in too much sex. “There are beautiful<br />
girls in Ghana and they wont leave them alone!!”<br />
When Aston Villa manager Roberto Di Matteo was<br />
sacked by Aston Villa Villa became embroiled in a<br />
twitter spat with Virgin trains after a cheeky dig at<br />
them.<br />
Virgin Tweeted a picture of an empty carriage<br />
along with the message “The next batch of potential<br />
#AVFC managers have just left for Birmingham<br />
New Street…”<br />
Villas reply was cutting. “Would our managerial<br />
candidates actually get here for interviews on time<br />
if they arrived via @VirginTrains?” Virgin hit back<br />
insisting they had more trains on time in the past<br />
year than Villa had managed victories, before the<br />
club listed all the trophies they’ve won and urged<br />
the train line to ”get back in your quiet coach, “ 1-0<br />
to the Villa? Virgin have now offered to settle things<br />
out on the pitch, surely a game even Villa can’t<br />
lose!! (Editors note: I like Virgin Trains ever since I<br />
was able to buy a First Class ticket for £33 from<br />
Rainham to Liverpool Lime Street for a trip in November!)<br />
Now news from Argentina. A club has ben told to<br />
rebuild their home ground after Google maps<br />
showed the pitch was the wrong shape.<br />
The Argentine Football association has closed down the Juan Antonio Arias stadium in the city<br />
of San Justo as the grass did not form a rectangle!<br />
Finally I have heard from Grant Wilbur who is now very involved with Hawkinge Town. He tells<br />
me that he spotted some of our old players Brad Ashmore and Toby Ashmore playing for Deal<br />
Community Sports and also Brett Smith, Richard Sinden, Adam Douglas and Charlie Belcher all<br />
playing for Kings Hill.<br />

The History of Tooting & Mitcham Utd<br />
Tooting & Mitcham F.C. was formed in 1932 when two local clubs, Tooting Town and Mitcham<br />
Wanderers, amalgamated. The merged club remained in the London League until joining the<br />
Athenian League in 1937. In 1938 the Surrey Senior Cup was won for the first time, the team<br />
beating Dulwich Hamlet 2-1. Wartime then brought a mixture of friendly matches and a league<br />
called the South East Combination. The London Senior Cup was won in 1943 when Dulwich<br />
Hamlet were defeated 5-4.<br />
When the Second World War ended the club returned to the Athenian League and were<br />
Champions in 1950 and 1955. They also reached the F.A. Cup First Round Proper for the first<br />
time in 1948 unluckily losing by 1-0 at Millwall and in 1950 reached the First Round Proper<br />
again with their first ever home tie against Football League opposition Brighton & Hove Albion,<br />
losing 3-2. Originally playing in white shirts, today's broad black and white stripes, the original<br />
colours of Tooting Town FC, were adopted in 1956 to coincide with the club’s election to the<br />
Isthmian League.<br />
That season saw the club reach the F.A. Cup Second Round Proper losing to Queens Park<br />
Rangers. In the 1957-58 season they were crowned Isthmian League Champions but the club<br />
was hit by tragedy when star goalkeeper Dave Moore was killed in a car crash soon after the<br />
title was won. In season 1958-59 the club reached the 3 rd round proper of the F.A. Cup for the<br />
first time in its history beating Football League Clubs Bournemouth and Northampton Town. In<br />
the third round they were drawn at home to Nottingham Forest, one of the top clubs in the<br />
country, and led the First Division side 2-0 at half-time but an own goal and a very controversial<br />
penalty for handball enabled Forest to scramble a draw. In the replay, played before a<br />
crowd of 42,362, the Midlands side won 3-0 and they went on to lift the F.A. Cup at Wembley.<br />
The 1959-60 campaign was one of the best in the club’s history. The Isthmian League Championship<br />
was won for the second time and the Terrors reached four Cup-Finals, winning two<br />
the London Senior and Surrey Senior Cups. Striker Paddy Hasty played for the Great Britain<br />
Olympic team in the 1960 summer Olympics and was the last player to score a goal for Team<br />
GB until 2012. Tooting & Mitcham were the first amateur side to reach the London Challenge<br />
Cup for over 30 years losing 2-1 to Chelsea in the Final at Stamford Bridge.<br />
In March 1962 the club switched on their brand new floodlights against Arsenal. The following<br />
season the Club had a record 11-0 win over Welton Rovers in the Amateur Cup, the Tooting<br />
team containing several England Amateur Internationals. The side's young goalkeeper, Alex<br />
Stepney, was a local lad who had come through the Tooting ranks and at the end of the 1962-<br />
63 campaign went on to join Millwall, Manchester United and the <strong>full</strong> England side against<br />
Sweden. Dario Gradi, who had an illustrious career as manager of Crewe Alexandra also<br />
played for the Terrors in the early 1960’s.<br />
The 1974-75 season saw Tooting reach the F.A. Cup first round proper and lost narrowly 2-1<br />
in front of a 10,000 plus crowd at Sandy Lane. The following season the club under the guidance<br />
of Roy Dwight had their best ever run in the F.A. Cup, reaching the 4 th round proper<br />
where they lost 3-1 to Bradford. The club also had their best ever run in the F.A. Trophy losing<br />
in the quarter-final’s away to the eventual winners Scarborough 1-0.<br />
The club won the Surrey Senior Cup three seasons on the trot in 1976, 1977 and 1978.thus<br />
being the first club to achieve this. In the 1988-89 campaign the club were relegated for the<br />
first time in its history.
The History of Tooting & Mitcham Utd<br />
Continued<br />
The 1996-97 term saw relegation to the Second Division. The 2000-1 campaign was better<br />
with the 6 th round of the F.A. Vase reached and under the guidance of Keith Boanas and Ian<br />
Hazel the Ryman League Division Two Championship was won.<br />
The club moved into its new home at Imperial Fields for the start of the 2002-03 season. After<br />
going close to promotion in 2005-06, losing to Tonbridge in the Play-offs, manager Richard<br />
Cadette was replaced by the hugely experienced Billy Smith (who was skipper of Tooting's<br />
1975-76 F.A. Cup side) and George Wakeling. In Billy and George's first season the Club won<br />
both the London Senior Cup and the Surrey Senior Cup and a fantastic unbeaten league run<br />
saw the club reach the Play-off Final losing to Hastings United 2-0. The Play-off Finals were<br />
reached again in 2007-8 this time a Paul Vines goal secured promotion. The London Senior<br />
Cup was also retained. At this time the club also produced a superstar by the name of Michail<br />
Antonio who came through the ranks and signed for Reading, and has subsequently starred in<br />
the Championship for Nottingham Forest. In 2009-10 the club reached the First Round Proper<br />
of the F.A. Cup again going down to Stockport County 5-0.<br />
Billy and George left the club and Mark Beard was appointed manager in May 2010. Beard<br />
was relieved of his position in December 2011 and former West Ham player Kenny Brown was<br />
appointed the new manager. However, Tooting were relegated at the end of the 2011–12 season.<br />
Three more managers followed (Roberto Forzoni, Jamie Martin and Phil Simpson) but all<br />
were unable to turn the clubs fortunes round. Craig Tanner took over in the summer of 2013<br />
at the age of 27 assisted by Adam Moriarty. 11th position was reached in their first two seasons.<br />
New manager Frank Wilson and assistant Mark Hams took over for the 2015-16 season, and<br />
the team finished in 17th place in the league table.<br />

Match Reports by Tony Rickson<br />
Saturday 8th October 2016<br />
Buildbase FA Trophy<br />
Sittingbourne 0 Bury Town 2 Att 150<br />
Well, I don’t think I’ve seen a match of two<br />
halves quite as contrasting as this.<br />
Sittingbourne dominated the first half and Bury<br />
Town the second.<br />
Trouble is, Sittingbourne didn’t convert their<br />
chances when they were so much on top, and<br />
that’s why they went out of the FA Trophy at the<br />
first hurdle.<br />
They truly outplayed Bury for 45 minutes and it<br />
wasn’t until after the break that you could see<br />
what a good side the Suffolk team was, and<br />
why they’re second in Ryman League North<br />
and haven’t lost an away game this season.<br />
Sittingbourne made two changes from the team<br />
that lost at East Grinstead the previous Saturday<br />
with fit-again Simon Overland returning in<br />
goal for Ben Bridle-Card, who has switched to<br />
Faversham, and Jordan Gallacher back from<br />
suspension and replacing Hicham Akhazzan.<br />
In front of their biggest home crowd since August,<br />
Sittingbourne stormed into the game and<br />
Dan Rumbol thumped a sixth minute header<br />
against the bar from Conrad Lee’s corner and<br />
then twice went close to scoring when the next<br />
corner swung in.<br />
With Stefan Wright energetically bursting forward<br />
from midfield, Sittingbourne pressed on<br />
and after Gallacher put a good chance wide,<br />
Miles Cornwell missed a great opportunity when<br />
he got clear only to drive his shot against the<br />
foot of the post.<br />
A spate of corners, some good attacking<br />
moves, and the woodwork struck twice all in the<br />
first 15 minutes. How Sittingbourne would go on<br />
to regret not turning their superiority into goals –<br />
though without being clever after the event, you<br />
somehow sensed that even at the time.<br />
Extraordinarily, Bury took the lead midway<br />
through the first half from what was their first<br />
attack. And it wasn’t even an attack – just a<br />
long throw, even longer than Jack Steventon<br />
can do it – into the box and headed on by a giant<br />
centre-half for Canfer to score easily at the<br />
far post.<br />
Back came Sittingbourne, undeterred, and<br />
Wright headed into the keeper’s arms from a<br />
good position, Gallacher forced the keeper into<br />
a good save, and Jono Richardson had his<br />
close range shot blocked following yet another<br />
dangerous corner into the box.<br />
Surely, the second half would produce more of<br />
the same and Sittingbourne would eventually<br />
get the equaliser they clearly deserved, at the<br />
very least.<br />
But that couldn’t have been further from the<br />
truth as Bury put an iron grip on the game right<br />
from the start of the second half, with Overland<br />
straightaway called on to make two excellent<br />
diving saves when all the first half he’d been a<br />
virtual spectator.<br />
In what was only a rare Sittingbourne attack,<br />
Cornwell had a good chance to pull it back but<br />
he tried to put too much power into his shot and<br />
it soared over the bar.<br />
Bury had some good players but their domination<br />
was all about forcing set pieces – corners,<br />
free-kicks and especially throw-ins which they’d<br />
fire into the six-yard from miles out.<br />
But it was a free-kick that gave them their second<br />
clinching goal, and even though it was almost<br />
right out by the corner flag, Barber sent it<br />
immaculately straight in to the far top corner.<br />
Worse followed for Sittingbourne with their first<br />
red card of the season – harshly shown to Steventon<br />
for what looked an honest, though conceivably<br />
mistimed, challenge.<br />
The referee had previously shown leniency to<br />
Bury players for blocking a keeper’s quick clearance<br />
and kicking the ball away after the whistle<br />
had gone, but showed none at all here for a<br />
teenager committing his first foul of the game<br />
after 80 minutes.<br />
That’s both major cup competitions Sittingbourne<br />
have gone out of now at the first attempt,<br />
having been drawn rather unluckily<br />
against more than decent teams both times.<br />
Their season has gone a bit awry in the last<br />
couple of weeks, but they have to take consolation<br />
from the way they played in the first half<br />
and must have scared the living daylights out of<br />
their opponents before ending up with nothing<br />
to show for it.<br />
Sittingbourne: Simon Overland, Tom Brunt<br />
(Hicham Akhazzan, 77 min), Conrad Lee, Danny<br />
Rumbol, Jono Richardson, Jack Steventon<br />
(Red card), Ricky Gundry (Josh Wisson, 66<br />
min), Stefan Wright, Jordan Gallacher, Miles<br />
Cornwell, Tom Carlse (Steven Ita, 69 min).

Saturday 15th October 2016<br />
Ryman League Div 1 South<br />
Molesey 1 Sittingbourne 1 Att 93<br />
This was a reassuring performance by Sittingbourne<br />
as they battled and scrapped for a<br />
point that was the very least they deserved.<br />
Reassuring because they were missing key<br />
players, but but also because they were away<br />
to a team who have a very strong home record,<br />
and in addition they haven’t had very good results<br />
lately.<br />
Another defeat and they would have been slipping<br />
further down the table after starting the<br />
season so brightly.<br />
But a makeshift team dug deep and proved<br />
there’s plenty of optimism for the season still to<br />
come, especially if they play as well and as determinedly<br />
as this.<br />
Sittingbourne were without their two main stalwarts<br />
who hadn’t previously missed a game this<br />
season. Captain and key defender Jono Richardson<br />
was unavailable through work commitments,<br />
and top scorer Miles Cornwell has gone<br />
up a division to Folkestone – and he scored for<br />
them on his debut! Also missing was strong<br />
midfielder Jack Steventon, suspended for getting<br />
sent off the previous Saturday in the FA<br />
Trophy.<br />
Back came Dan Tanner and fit-again Steven<br />
Ita, with Tom Brunt – the stand-in captain –<br />
switched to midfield to allow Sam Welch to return<br />
at right-back.<br />
Sittingbourne started well in the Surrey sunshine<br />
and both central defenders, Danny Rumbol<br />
and Tanner, headed wide from early chances.<br />
They thought they’d taken the lead through<br />
Hicham Akhazzan after 11 minutes but he was<br />
flagged offside – even though fans who were<br />
nearer the decision than I was reckoned that<br />
was the wrong call.<br />
With Sittingbourne pressing forward, Molesey<br />
caught them on the break on 18 minutes and a<br />
good build-up down the left ended with Samuels<br />
shooting home from the edge of the area.<br />
Sittingbourne fought back well with Ita looking<br />
something like back to his exciting best of last<br />
season, Stefan Wright bursting forward from<br />
midfield, and Tom Carlse and Conrad Lee combining<br />
well to attack down the left.<br />
Jordan Gallacher shot over after being forced<br />
wide and then brought out a brilliant save from<br />
the keeper as he latched on to Ita’s pass.<br />
At the other end Molesey put together a move<br />
that was a carbon copy of their goal but Simon<br />
Overland saved well.<br />
A decent enough first half was followed by an<br />
exciting, sometimes dramatic and often controversial<br />
second half, with Sittingbourne mainly<br />
on top and driving forward but Molesey dangerous<br />
in counter-attacks.<br />
The Brickies equalised 12 minutes into the half<br />
when Carlse drove the ball in from the left,<br />
Akhazzan snatched at his shot and the ball was<br />
blocked to Gallacher who smashed it glee<strong>full</strong>y<br />
home from close range.<br />
Molesey protested long and hard for offside, but<br />
a good moan wasn’t entirely out of character for<br />
them all afternoon.<br />
At one end Welch made a brilliant saving tackle<br />
when a Molesey forward raced clear but mainly<br />
it was Sittingbourne pushing on.<br />
They were mysteriously refused a penalty when<br />
sub Ricky Gundry was blatantly pushed over<br />
from behind, and as temperatures rose they<br />
were drawn into a couple of minor scuffles with<br />
the referee struggling to maintain his control.<br />
Lee was just inches away from clinching a glorious<br />
winner, racing from his own area all the<br />
way down the pitch only to take a slightly too<br />
heavy touch as he closed in on goal.<br />
In the final few minutes it was exhilaratingly all<br />
Sittingbourne, with Gundry and Carlse having<br />
fierce shots blocked by a packed defence, and<br />
then sub Josh Wisson timing his header beauti<strong>full</strong>y<br />
from 10 yards only to see the home keeper<br />
make an excellent tip-over in response.<br />
Honours even and for Sittingbourne a wellearned<br />
point after defeats in their last couple of<br />
away league games.<br />
Sittingbourne: Simon Overland, Sam Welch,<br />
Conrad Lee, Danny Rumbol, Dan Tanner, Tom<br />
Brunt, Hicham Akhazzan (Ricky Gundry, 66<br />
min), Stefan Wright, Jordan Gallacher, Steven<br />
Ita (Josh Wisson, 77 min), Tom Carlse.

SO, Danny Murphy believes the solution to the firing frenzy that continues to blight the game is<br />
to introduce a managerial sacking race.<br />
It’s a nice idea from the former Liverpool and England man – and made with the best intentions -<br />
but isn’t there a danger that subjecting clubs, and of course managers, to a timeframe in which<br />
to do their housekeeping, may simply delay any inevitable parting of ways, thus potentially inciting<br />
boardroom resentment?<br />
Murphy, in his piece with The Non-League Paper in our October 9 edition, highlights a season at<br />
Blackburn Rovers when he played under five managers! That, of course, is utterly ridiculous, but<br />
it is a situation which, sadly, is becoming more believable by the year.<br />
Take the National League for example. At the time of writing this, no fewer than SIX managers<br />
from Non-League top table had parted company with their clubs with several more affected lower<br />
down the pyramid.<br />
But with on-field frustration comes pressure and boardroom tension and that is where keeping<br />
chairmen and managers together against their will can have a negative effect. I mean, would<br />
fans of Derby County really wanted Nigel Pearson and Mel Morris in cahoots running their club<br />
with their relationship clearly at breaking point?<br />
And let’s face it too Danny, managers aren’t exactly whiter than white themselves. They too<br />
would jump ship if a bigger and better job came along – and often when it is least expected.<br />
George Graham or Harry Redknapp anyone?<br />
If there really is a problem with loyalty in football, then the danger is that come January 1 (or<br />
whenever the managers window opened), a free-for-all of illegal approaches and underhand tactics<br />
to force a parting of the ways could leave an even more bitter taste in the mouth.<br />
It’s not just managers that need protecting, it’s football clubs as a whole.<br />
Murphy says: “What a sacking window would give is real stability, it all allow players to know<br />
what’s going on and it will also ensure managers get the time they need to make a success of<br />
themselves.<br />
“We can’t go on having two or three people losing their jobs every week. I don’t see who that<br />
benefits.”<br />
I don’t think anyone will argue with Danny there but in these days where football clubs are run as<br />
businesses a more thoughtful and realistic approach is required to provide both parties with the<br />
security and flexibility they need.<br />
