    Must be for the Final. Did Crewe field an ineligible player?

    It’s disgraceful that no one is standing at the bottom of the ladder to make sure it doesn’t slip given that it’s on grass. There’s no cones keeping the public away, no hi viz jackets , the van is parked on the wrong side of the road with no visible warning signs and I bet no risk assessments were done. It’s an accident waiting to happen.

    I’m glad. And I hope he gets years of pleasure from doing so, just as I did.  But in the last 30 years I’ve steadily lost that feeling of fun and attachment. I couldn’t care less now about the England team or international football generally or that much about the EPL. I’ve watched more of Kane in Munich in the last 5 weeks than I have of the PL (probably about 20 minutes in total). 

    I’m quite happy to be accused of holding on to the past - I don’t think I am or do, there were things about the football of yesteryear that were not good - but the pendulum has swung far too far away from what I used to watch, love and enjoy for me. And I hope that his grandad reminds him of the good old days 😃

    I have sky but now for the cricket. I haven’t watched a non Ramstv game on the TV or the highlight shows for at least 10 years if not more. If the radio happens to be on with a PL match I don’t instantly know (with rare exceptions) who is playing nor which team has the ball. 
    Though they don’t recognise it as such as they chase audiences from the far east and the Arab countries, I suspect that the football authorities are building themselves problems that may not show for a few years yet but will. The present system is unsustainable in the medium term. The football pyramid I grew up with is dying.

    The only reason I'm still involved is thanks to... or the fault of... one Mr David Clowes.
    Heaven forbid, had the unthinkable actually happened, there's no way I'd be showing any interest in football now.
    I truly couldn't tell you who played in the last game I watched (full, or even highlights) that didn't involve The Rams.  I'd imagine it was the last England WC (proper) game?
    WC & Euro qualifiers... Champions League... Match of the day... Live Prem and/or EFL games... Local parks...small time amateurs... none of it interests me, and hasn't for some time.
    I doubt I'd recognise any more than a dozen players names from the Prem, and I'd be amazed if I could match more than a handful of prem players to their current club.
    Even my participation on here is based on 40% Love of DCFC, and 60% "banter with the gang"!
    I don't even put this apathy down to "strong morals"... I'm just bored with the wider game, full stop.  Disillusioned, I guess! 
    Diving, money, VAR, Rich v Poor, too many games played, too many live games on the various TV options, the over-analysis of it all.
    I'll leave football forever, I'll leave football forever, I'll leave football forever... Should Derby County Die!  😢

    Turtles 2023 was about to begin. I have 200 mini turtles that I was about to start leaving around my parents house, mostly in Daniel’s room. I especially got some glow in the dark ones so he couldn’t even escape it at night 🤣 What am I going to do with 200 turtles?!!!

    Oh my goodness, what a response!
    Hello everyone, I’m Claire, Daniel’s (B4) sister. I am overwhelmed by your kind words, support, and the memories you have shared.  Thank you so much for the kindness and love you have all shown to Daniel over the years. My parents are working their way through all of the posts and will offer their own thanks in due course.
    I wish I knew about the scraves, flanges and ballions before now. I wouldn’t have let Daniel live that down at home. This made my husband and I laugh this morning.
    I will be wearing Daniel’s shirt and keeping his seat warm at the Bristol match. Really looking forward to hearing a big cheer and round of applause in the 38th minute, a goal at the time would be perfect!  Do please continue to share the picture with details of the applause. Let’s raise the roof for Daniel!!!
    Thank you all again ❤️
