Re: Ex-Bees (2014 update)

I'm looking forward to seeing Mauro Vilhete playing in Southern League Premier South this season, following his signing for Hayes & Yeading United. He was a real favourite when I used to watch Barnet 10+ years ago.

UPDATE: Barnet fanzines

UPDATE: Just emptied another cupboard, and the total number of issues of 'Two Together' fanzine which I've disinterred has risen meteorically, to seventeen. Also a third issue of 'There's Villa's Ground' (the rare black cover edition) and one each of the professionally produced 'Golden Dreams' and '...

Barnet fanzine 'Buzztalk'

In the course of clearing out 60 years worth of football memorabilia this week, I have come across fouteen issues of the legendary Barnet fanzine, 'Buzztalk', dating from the era of Flashman and Fry; also a couple of issues of 'There's Villa's Ground!' and one of 'Two Together', Bees fanzines from a...

Re: Ex-Bees (2014 update)

With Chesham United's regular goalkeeper Sam (son of Dave) Beasant out of today's crucial game against Poole Town with Covid, we had in goal, as an emergency signing, the legendary ex-Bee (125 appearances, 2012-16) Graham Stack. Stack is now 40 years old, and this was his first game for any club sin...

Re: Is ‘The Club that would not die’ in Cardiac Arrest ?

OK, I do have one opinion. It is my opinion, based upon my occasional visits to this forum in recent years, that Barnet must have the most miserable and permanently depressed set of supporters of any football club in the country. It's just a litany of moaning, either about the running of the club or...

Re: Is ‘The Club that would not die’ in Cardiac Arrest ?

I don't have 'an opinion'. The article by 'Eric Hitchmo' just seemed to me to offer a relevant set of observations from someone who now follows the club's steady demise from a distance. I called myself 'bucks bee' during the period (1986-2014) when I watched some 850 Barnet games, home and away, dur...

Re: Is ‘The Club that would not die’ in Cardiac Arrest ?

This piece, posted today by the founder of Downhill Second Half who, like me, does not watch Barnet nowadays (I gave up when the club moved from Underhill to The Hive; one of the best decisions of my life) seems to be a timely answer to the question posed in this thread: https://downhillsecondhalf.c...

Re: Ex-Bees (2014 update)

Video highlights of Truro City (currently playing their home fixtures at Plymouth Parkway's unimposing ground) vs Beaconsfield Town here. Azaze made some pretty good saves throughout the time he was on the pitch, and the sending off looked a bit harsh.

Re: Ex-Bees (2014 update)

The parade of Barnet veterans visiting Chesham continues unabated. On Tuesday evening, we had Ricky Holmes and Sam Deering, both now playing for Farnborough. Then today it was Ismail Yakubu, now 36 years old, in the centre of defence for Merthyr Town. (Looking at today's result, it appears that you ...

Jamal Lowe profile

Nice profile on the BBC Sport website of Jamal Lowe, who started his career at Barnet (where Edgar Davids told him he was not good enough to play for us) and is now on the verge of becoming a Premier League player:
