Re: International Window
It, would, I hope be too late now to call the game off. I wouldn't think it would particularly be in Charlton's interests to postpone anyway, with them firmly entrenched in mid table.
Re: Men who are somewhat blessed in years are precious - especially if they are Wycombe Fans
Can I add my own story which is similar to that of railwaysteve? Like him, I discovered after a routine annual medical check that my PSA level was high which led to a biopsy and a prostate cancer diagnosis. I had no symptoms. Fortunately, the cancer was detected early enough that it hadn’t spread and I decided to take the option of having my prostate removed. A year later I am fit and healthy with only minor side affects and my PSA level was undetectable at the last six months blood test. The point of these posts is to urge men to be tested regularly. Cancer is a scary word, but I dodged a bullet and anyone else can do the same and get tested.
Re: Goals from corners?
I miss the days when our corners were as exciting as a free kick from just outside the area, as it always felt as though JJ might stick it in!
I hope he has at least one more in him for old time's sake.

Re: Are the vast majority of football supporters obsessed with league tables?
Just caught up with what I thought would be a somewhat ‘dry’ thread only to be pleasantly surprised by the reference to a game which, as a bit (lot, actually) of a loner, I used to spend many a happy hour, sprawled on the floor playing what I remember as Owzat. I think it was largely England versus Australia - as a 12 year old I knew very little about the personnel of other teams apart from Kent so couldn’t really set up too many scorecards.
The two Arthurs- Fagg and Phebey - who opened for Kent in the early ‘fifties - featured in matches and if they were out too cheaply I would give them a stay of execution, an embryonic version of DRS (Decision Review System) or, more accurately, an early example of self-indulgence.
I was at school with Brian Fagg and, on one occasion, had gone to his house for tea, during the course of which his dad appeared in the hall, threw his cricket bag down with a loud thud and stormed towards the kitchen. Obviously a bad day at the office and not the match in which he and Arthur Phebey shared century partnerships in both innings against Gloucestershire.
Happy days.

Re: Singing - Frank Adams Stand - Final 4 & Beyond
Took me a moment to think what you were getting at, @Malone, not least because I know full well that you would never use that word.

Good point! Yes from Milton Keynes I mean
Re: Singing - Frank Adams Stand - Final 4 & Beyond
Definitely lads, well younger than me, in their early 20's I'd say. Not regulars there, thankfully the one and only time this season. If they are that infatuated with the Premier league just go a watch a game there !
What got me more than anything was that one of them barely stopped talking to catch breath, it was just constant talking for the sake of it
Re: Singing - Frank Adams Stand - Final 4 & Beyond

Re: Singing - Frank Adams Stand - Final 4 & Beyond
Sit in Block R of the Frank Adams and there's hardly any swearing.
A few berate the players/ref but with no expletives. I have on very rare occasions spontaneously stood up and given the ref a mouthful with the odd swear word or two. But immediately feel very self conscious and sit down apologetically.
I would be very surprised if there is a less sweary part of a football stadium in the country.
