U21 play-off semi today at 1pm vs Sheff Utd. Can't make up my mind whether to brave the bank holiday traffic at the Dartford Crossing or not. Decisions, decisions...
Will be there, but will park in normal matchday 'free' area- LBG wardens not always compliant with free parking on bank holidays! (In the 'old days' you could squeeze into the West Stand car park for these games!)_

If you're north of the Thames, why not go East Thurrock v Dulwich Hamlet, the play off decider ?
Trying to follow the the thread, why, who, how......

Charlton Athletic FC @CAFCofficial 16m16 minutes ago 60' Umerah does brilliantly to hook the ball away from the Utd striker but the referee gives penalty. It's a terrible decision #cafc

Some excellent football played. Shame the referee's performance didn't match that of the players. He was appaling. The penalty never was, he missed loads of decisions including 3 times when the linesman was flagging for us being offside and he missed and wasn't in a position to see. We responded well and were having much the better of the game until Thomas made a dreadful back pass from which they easily scored. Extra shame on Thomas who would have been my man of the match up until that point. Sheff Unt defended well and we didn't have the cutting edge to break them down despite some good build up play. Loads of skill on display by people in red shirts though - nice to see. Didn't see the sending off, was a big melee right at the end when their came and caught a high ball into the box. Keeper then made a good save from a KAG free kick. Good game spoilt by poor referee
Scrappy game that the U21s probably didn't deserve to lose. Undone by the most ridiculous penalty decision I've ever seen and a moment of madness from Tyrell Thomas.
Had a few chances but you never got the feeling they were going to equalise.
Hanlan looked pretty good and Dijksteel and Aribo have something about them. None of them are anywhere near the first team though.
What on earth has happened to Karlan Ahearn-Grant?
Sheffield Utd were a horrible cynical bunch who were time wasting from the 1st to 120th minute.
Probably worth going just to witness the 22 man bust up at the end. Charles-Cook was going apeshit and Mitov ran the length of the pitch to pull hin away.
East Thurrock deserved it, place was heaving, probably approaching two thousand.
Nice to see a game where both teams approached it like it really mattered, I was disappointed with the result, but enjoyed it more than some Charlton wins this season.

Well done lads. Sounds like you were done by a dodgy pen.

Not the Fanackapans' fault this time though as we couldn't be there.
I went to East Thurrock.
Windy.
Like in Cricket winning the toss was handy.
