I'd hate to see segregation at this level, and I can't agree that we put the away supporters in one area, that for me would go against the 'non-league' enjoyment. However, these beer throwing incidents, whilst infrequent can be easily stopped by stopping drinking on the terraces! Why anyone would want to throw nearly 4 quids of beer anyway, is beyond me (just drink it) but with 2000+ supporters in the ground it cant be a pleasurably experience nursing a beer when you can hardly move If you don't allow it on the terrace it cant be thrown! As for homophobic chanting, well that's just down to people being thick, and just not understanding! As for the game, great entertainment, not sure what Alan Hansen would make of the defending, but I'm not sure that result means everything is now good, as I said before the game, we'd probably beat Dulwich because they will attack us! As for the Dulwich fans I'm firmly in the 'Love in' camp! The majority are great, knowledgeable and well behaved and are a credit to supporting a club at this level

Ban drinking in the stands!?!?!?!? Your joking me right!?!?!? Yes afew of you are right banning it would stop it from happening in the stands but who's to say it wouldn't happen were ever the twats go after? It,ll just kill the game experience for me and many others of enjoying a drink and a game at the same time (you can't do this at every ground) heck would you prefer a merstham set up of drinking off the grounds property then? because that would be the most fall-proof solution to a minor problem. Or maybe just have afew stewards integrated into the stands?

The vast majority of Dulwich fans certainly are a decent breed as are ours you cant simply take a tiny minority and make such a sweeping generalisation. On another note where are your Saunders out quips? One result doesn't change anything there I still say we need a manager with more experience ! Someone like Alan Walker?

A cracking match report, which highlights how uncontroversial 3G ought to be by mentioning it in the headline and almost nowhere else. As this report says 3G allowed good football, but played no part in the outcome of the match

As this report says 3G allowed good football, but played no part in the outcome of the match Thanks Russ, I wasn't going to bother reading secondary sites, but as you recommended it, I did, and you are right. One telling paragraph says -"Dulwich regained the lead in the 51st minute, a superb cross by Ahmed Deen being met by the impressive and unmarked Tommy Whitnell on the volley from close range. Questions have to be asked why Whitnell, a recent signing from Thamesmead, was given so much space." While not wishing to be accused (again) of being hyper-critical when we actually won the match, that does seem a pretty basic failure to defend which is worrying. No doubt Jay has the matter in hand, and we won't give away another goal like that ever again!

Well that was EPIC and will live long in the memory. I was drained at the end. The result could have gone either way. I would also like to comment on Dulwich and their fans. Dulwich have a great history and for me are a very well respected non league club. Lets have it right that was our biggest gate this season for a reason and not just because it was 2nd against 3rd. Credit to the Dulwich supporters. Most of them stayed til well after the final whistle went where I stood in the Springfield End singing their hearts out for their team and were just proud to be supporting their club with no bad feeling in defeat. Fantastic support. I really hope they can turn their losing run around and stay in the play off hunt. But would love to see them at the gallaghers again next season whatever happens.

I don't have much to add to what's already been said: classic contest, great entertainment, game played in a good spirit by both sides. I didn't witness any sort of misbehaviour myself, which probably just confirms that it was a very small percentage of the total attendance being stupid and provocative, which is likely to occur at any big game with a sizeable away following It's for your own club to decide on matter such as segregation, banning beer outide the clubhouse etc.; but surely the first step has to be to try to steward these flashpoints more vigorously before spoiling it for everyone by saying "sorry, no beer outside the bar". I believe Football League grounds don't allow beer drinking on the terraces, so as you're basically hosting Football League sized crowds in a ground well below minimum capacity for Football League people do need to be made to behave themselves if they want to keep drinking behind the goal. You could argue the Hamlet fans inadvertantly caused a flashpoint by squeezing into an already crowded area in large numbers when we were attacking the Town End. (Personally I went round the side near the corner flag.) I like having no segregation and being able to change ends, but perhaps in a ground usually close to capacity it's just not realistic to have large numbers of people moving around from one end to the other like this? I don't think there should be any problem when you play Bognor. They brought around 120 to Dulwich the weekend before last, and although there were a few reports of some of them being a bit stupid, again I didn't see anything myself. Here's an irreverent view of the game from a Hamlet perspective, with photographs, from the Brixton Buzz website: www.brixtonbuzz.com/2014/03/dulwich-hamlet-desperately-unlucky-to-lose-3-4-at-maidstone-in-front-of-a-bumper-crowd/

Yet another report that doesn't credit Worgs with that fantastic save with his studs at the end. Maybe they should look at the highlights, it's clear that he gets a vital touch to deflect the ball onto the post.

Yet another report that doesn't credit Worgs with that fantastic save with his studs at the end. Maybe they should look at the highlights, it's clear that he gets a vital touch to deflect the ball onto the post. In fairness to the bloke who compiled that article, it's clear from the camera angle that he was around the side, and on the blind side of where the shot went, so it's understandable that he didn't see the save. I was right behind the goal, saw Clunis hit the shot and that it was well inside the post, but the heads of people in front of me meant I didn't actually see the save. Great reflex save, although the slo-mo on the video suggests the shot may have been just slightly mishit. I also think that whilst the replay of the Flisher goal shows the ball hit his arm, it's also clear that his hand was already planted firmly on the ground to steady himself after stumbling, so although he may have benefitted from this it was clearly unintentional and the ref was correct not to call handball. It's a shame the footage of the incident when Worgan juggles Oztumer's looping header away from under the bar cuts out after he collides with Clunis. No foul there, but as the ball ran loose again there was a clear push on Whitnell for which we all thought the ref had given a penalty when he blew his whistle, but he fudged it and called the physio on to treat Clunis then restarted with an uncontested drop ball.
