Here's another. Would be allowed these days. 1st game season 84/85. Thousands of us away at Bournemouth. Great crack with the constabulary. Then a very good looking blonde WPC appeared. She was serenaded with "GYTOFTL"... if you know, you know.
She took it in good part and burst out laughing.

Some howlers like the penalty Sav won for Leicester and the double clanger from Tw@twell on those 2 Miles Addison disallowed goals against the Red Dogs but for sheer consistency in a single game, I have to go for at Bolton om September 2nd, 2023. 
In no particular order...
1. He turned down a nailed on penalty
2. He disallowed a perfectly good goal... to give us a penalty, from which we scored. To be somewhat fair to the lad, he did blow before the ball crossed the line but he was way too quick to give the decision. There was something like 2 seconds between the foul and the goal. Why didn't he wait to see if there was any advantage first?
3. He turned down another nailed on penalty
4. He sent Wildsmith off for handling the ball outside the area. The ball hit him in the chest, Red card rescinded on appeal
5. He gave Bolton a penalty for a foul by Korey Smith. Now, it was a foul, no doubt about that, however, it was outside the box
 

That Ted McMinn chant based on the Manfred Mann song "Mighty Quinn" is a rehash of one of the 70's Kevin Hector chants.

One relegation season, oppo fans singing "going down, going down, going down" swiftly replied to with "so are we....."
Fans of a certain age will remember "Leeds reserves were better"
He's here, he's there, he's asked us not to swear, John O'Hare, John O'Hare
Blackpool away, their lot started "jump around if you're staying up" which was very quickly taken over by 4000 Rams voices "jump around if you're going down"
THAT season "Let's pretend we scored a goal"

I thought Hourihane was full time coaching at Villa next season...

Partly jollies, for sure, as he stopped by my mate's pub in Henlow for a couple of beers. Combining work and pleasure on his trip? Whyever not? 

I'm struggling to get my head round the "get rid of CBT" posts. 
Agreed, he hasn't apart from Pompey and one cameo sub appearance, done much for us, YET. However, the lad was carrying an injury when he joined us. How do you expect a player who's not 100% right, physically, to be brilliant?

He was carrying an injury when we signed him. Played well against Pompey giving us a glimpse of what he can do. Given rest now to get fully over the injury and then a full pre season should see him back to his best. If he's as good for us as he was for Charlton, no way should we let go.

Absolutely. I don't get why so many look at his two first season relegations but ignore that start to the 22/23 season. I've posted a few times that those relegations are likely to have more to do with the club than PW. After he left to come to us they plummeted to 19th that season and now they've been relegated the season after. The common denominator being RUFC. Fans were saying in 22/23 that both the results and the football was better than their previous 2 SBC seasons. Here's to us getting good results and varied football. Wingers going down the outside and crossing AND also cutting inside and shooting. Some playing the channels and, of course, playing through the middle. All valid tactics and you use them at the correct time in a game. Simple intit?

Not had a season ticket since the 83/84 season when I moved to the Netherlands. I usually manage between 6 and 8 games a season. Flights, trains, hotels, match tickets and food and drink make each trip an expensive one. I'd do more games but 8 games is about as far as I an stretch my pension. 
This new TV deal will likely see me having to book flights closer to game day which will see me having to pay higher fares. I usually travel in Friday morning and back Sunday tea time. I may have to reduce my weekends away to Saturday morning to Sunday tea time.
Thanks Sky! NOT

Knight going out of contract and we needed the money to survive. Bird going out of contract looks like he'd decided to spread his wings.

I've not had an email so I can't comment on what the club thinks my stats are. Any road up, I've seen 8 games at Pride Park during the 23/24 season. That's around 750 minutes. Seen 7 wins and a draw for a total of 22 points from a possible 24. Travelled some 4500 miles in the process. I did have a balti pie at one of the games so I helped that stat along. Also had a cheeseburger in the concourse at another game, not an experience I'm likely to repeat.
Hopefully, I can equal the above next season... minus the cheeseburger, of course.
