Scavers and flanges. One of his inventions I will never forget. Might it be an idea to have Admin rename the flags thread to flanges in B4's honour?

My original post expressed an opinion. You came back with a sarcy reposte. I explained.

It's about getting to your seat early for the Remembrance game so you don't need to get others moving to let you get to your seat during the silence and its preamble. It's a thing called respect.

Looking after Veterans is important. There was an article I donated auctioned at the Neppy on Sunday. When I was kid, England played in white shirts and royal blue shorts

Vitesse always do a grand job on their closest match to Armistice Day.

A yellow card that should not have been given. Cash should have had one but got away with it.

I'm struggling to understand why that comment is in the Barnsley match day thread...

A well deserved victory. A 3-0 win over a promotion rival. Not something we tend to do that often. The first? If that had been at the other end we'd all have been up in arms. The softest of soft penalties. About time we got one, I suppose. Cracking 2nd from Fozzy. Another good shot from Fozzy was the keeper parry the ball and Collo was on hand to chest it in at the far post. Later Sibs hit the bar. Collo might (should?) have had a 3rd. An hour into the game, I commented to the wife that things don't get much better than this. Derby winning and me drinking a bottle of Pedigree on a Saturday afternoon. Lastly, I forecast pre game that if they came to play football we'd win. They did and so did we. Thankfully they didn't come to get physical and play "industrial" football.

I stand corrected. Still don't think he'll be on the bench... including injury time he played an hour yesterday by my reckoning.

Dave, me owd, you've just described the BBG... 🙂

Brown played the full 90 in te FA Youth Cup last night so I'd be surprised if he was on the bench against Barnsley. Weston is too old for the Youth Cup so he hasn't played since Wednesday and doesn't have an U21 game till next weekend. I think he'll be on the bench today.

Never served, always donate to the Appeal via the Neppy. I remember on my first visit to the Netherlands aged 21 or 22. Visited the War Cemetery in Arnhem. Seeing the ages of the fallen brought tears to my eyes. They were almost all younger than I was and had made the ultimate sacrifice. I, for one, will never forget them nor the sacrifice they made. I would dearly love to see everybody in their seats a good while prior to kick off today and to appreciate the ceremonial happenings. That last pre match beer/cola/pie/burger.... that can be taken a little earlier than usual. IMO, not being in your place by 10 to 3 today would be showing total disrespect to the fallen.

Hoping for a win to end their unbeaten away League record of 5 wins and 2 draws in their 7 away League games so far this season. We'll play football and they will be industrial.

Historically, men had left hand partings. Women, the posh uns any road up, had right sided ones as their hair was combed by the "serving wench". The less posh women copied their upper crust counterparts...

If they come to play football, we'll win. If they decide to make it a physical and "industrial" game, they'll win. 2-2.

24 to 30 age group is the glue that teams need. We had none. All kids and wrinklies don't make for a top side.

A day of surprises. More changes than I expected, especially considering the EFL rules for selection for the Trophy. Brown never really got into the game. He's a better player than he showed last night but got no decent ball Wilson took 25 minutes to get the better of their left back but was brilliant after that Collo started poorly, his first 4 involvements were committing 2 fouls and being caught offside twice. After that he played well and got the hattrick. Also Barks' MOTM. Not mine though. Young Weston replaced Brown at HT and was a revelation. All action, getting stuck in, an assist and a goal. My favourite player on the day was Fapetu. You wouldn't think he was making his senior debut. That cheeky 50 yard attempt shows he has great vision to go with his skill and work rate. Gets stuck into the oppo as well. We might see him and Weston on the bench in one or both of the next 2 games.

Best ever DCFC headed goal has to be Ronnie Webster's again Citeh. Ball crossed from the left to him as he steamed up from his right back position, must have run getting on 50 yards, by Alan Hinton and he directed it beautifully into the bottom left hand corner.

Merely a reply to the post saying go rather than watch on TV pointing out that the stream costs more than a ticket. My two, now aged 29 and 31, were born 15 miles from the Ajax ground and they support.... DCFC (and England). They too, will be at the Reading and Bolton matches in March. Also bringing my brother in law for his 6th Rams game and 2 friends to their first. "Spread the word, keep the faith" is my mantra

I was replying to a post saying folk should go rather than watch it on telly to put cash into the club's coffers. The stream is dearer than a ticket...

Here in Amsterdam I have an annual subscription to RamsTV and will be watching from my armchair. Flown back for 2 games this season so far. Back in March for Reading and Bolton. Will do between 2 and 4 more games during the season. With regard to the bit in bold. East Stand tickets tonight are £6, RamsTV stream is a tenner... Stay home, buy the stream and you increase the club's cash flow

Attwell. Indeed, couldn't say why he'd disallowed either of them. Still fast tracked up the refereeing ladder... Also for @hintonsboots

the first one he disallowed or the second one?
