Why is Osbourne a cheat?

From what I’ve seen of him he’s a really good player at NL level and a huge part of why Solihull are consistently in and around the playoffs. He takes control of games and dictates how Solihull want to play. Constantly in the refs tab but that’s for the ref to control.

Is he anymore of a ‘****h@use’ than our legend JL or a current fans favourite in Dobs?

You obviously haven’t been to the league games we’ve played them pal.
I’ve seen him home and away for the last few seasons and he plays the old ‘ dirty tricks’ card.
Feigning fouls and time wasting.
Do you actually attend games??

You've forgotten constantly in the referee's earhole pointing out nothing fouls and that he was the tool who faked the headbutt by Weston.

Correct, yes I’d forgot that..

It’s obvious you don’t see our Olympic athletes then, I’ll give it you though they are expert at their game management.

Agree, being able to see the whole pitch would be a start and best to get food before entering the ground.

That, like Droylsden, was a match where I almost gave up on football.
My wife asked why I was so anti-Solihull and I explained that they had one player so despicable I hope never to see him again. Though, to be fair to the filthy toerag, it was actually Ellis who pretended he’d been head-butted.

Don’t be so condescending and open your eyes, pal.

Not that it’s any of your business but I’ll indulge you.

I’m a ST holder as I have been for a number of years.

I’ve watched Osbourne play numerous times and, like it or not, he controls big parts of the game.

Please don’t tell me you don’t watch Dobra throw himself over time after time or you didn’t watch our beloved JL ( my favourite player ) get in every refs ear from the first whistle.

Some folk support and watch CFC but some support CFC but actually watch the game 👍🏻

I prefer to think of Dobra as one of the most fouled players in the league.
And Osborne as an annoying prat.

Wasn’t such a bad result. At least it will stop people going on and on about Solihull and of course Bromley’s plastic pitch is now a non issue.

Phew

I agree with you about Osborne. Yes, he’s in the ref’s ear from kick off but he is a decent footballer, dictates play, and as captain a leader on the pitch.

Also, I’m not Michael Cheek’s biggest fan but have to admit he regularly does the business for Bromley.

Is there a cut off point where we leave teeth grinding over fifth tier teams in our wake?

Not saying they aren't legitimate, but compared to the 'delights' of such as 'Vale or Grimsby...

I suspect the answer to that is a big fat no especially as one of the ‘teeth grinders’ favourites followed us up.

Don't get this obsession with Solihull and if it ain't them its Oldham. No idea bout Grimsby but i go quite a few Vale home games and there hasn't been any trouble there for donkeys years and especially now the home and away ends have changed.

He always seems fortunate, typified that penalty he hit down the middle and the goalie didn’t move but still fluffed it

He'd be in my team of the year. The reason he plays at such a relatively low level is 'cos he has no recovery pace. Young upstarts can burst past him and he's left for dead. Hence the 'dark arts' to stop them - and his teammates have to compensate for him. I assume he had no pace even as a young 'un.

Im looking forward to the league swap over date so I stop following the national league on FotMob as a favourited division and it flips over to league 2….not long until the fixtures are out.

I also took great pleasure in unfollowing the national league and vanarma stuff on Twitter the other week!

Delighted for Bromley- fully deserved

[Siberian Spireite]

Well, Byron Webster had his fun winding up the crowd when we beat them in the semi last year. Fair play to him really for not reacting to some of the absolute donkeys hurling abuse at him then. I like his take on the shootout v Solihull:

Tbh, I don't recall any abuse as such aimed at him, there was the shìt Robbie savage chant, which he himself turned and acknowledged but other that I can't say as I heard owt else ?

Yes really fair with a plastic pitch. No advantage whatsoever.
