You work for their tourism department?

£34 on the train. £18 for the game. An hour bunked off work. Two pints of Carling. A hug from B4. A sweaty dash back to make the last train. Won’t be in bed until half 1 in the morning.
Worth it? 
Obviously.

? sing when you’re swimmin’ you only sing when you…

Get in, the manager, players got nearly everything right tonight.
Bird was excellent, Balldock gave us something different, Jags /Davies partnership was  immense, Stearman came up with a Russell Anderson like cameo at the end and the snippets of link up play between Joz, Sibley and Morrison could see us getting a bit of a  creative spark back in the team. Add Bielik in the mix and we could do alright. 
 
 
 

What did someone say earlier about how good those unexpected away wins are? Hope everyone who made the effort to go had an immense night. So pleased for you. Loved hearing the singing again. Very very promising

Oh Kamil ye faithful, joyful and triumphant 

Steady on

Just for the record, us half fans get mocked but if it wasn’t for us sitting in our armchairs keeping our charts and spreadsheets going, the Ram’s recent form would not be accurately reported on here. It’s alright standing on the terraces, singing your songs about Collymore and doing that bounce thing, but coming on here claiming no wins in 18 league games, and 1 win in 18 league games, is greatly irresponsible and likely to cause unnecessary concern regarding our current run of form.

That explains his 0 red cards in 41 appearances I suppose.

What do you think Roy? His Mum’s recipe for Moussaka. His schooldays scrapbooks. It’s obvious what Footymum is referring too. Not sure why she is getting so much stick on here of late. 

Would appear a tweet I made blew up in a way I never expected tonight as some of you saw.
Needless to say many have been blocked, no time for it. 
Was never intended to be attention seeking, looking for followers or some how trying to tease fans.
There was a conversation taking place regarding the release of the minutes, thought I was being helpful by letting them know it would write ups only as no minutes were being taken. That’s it. 
I was on a train with patchy 3G signal and expected to respond to a poo ton of people.
I have started the write up on my phone, well aware even more so tonight of fan frustration, just stepped off the train now, home in 20 and honestly, I’m off to bed and if that pisses more people off, so be it. 

The crowds were much lower at times during the 80s and 90s and believe me, even though the quality has been at much worse levels, it was much more enjoyable than being in the presence of some of the entitled idiots that 'support' us today.
I actually quite look forward to crowd numbers dropping to Nigel Clough era levels when you know that the fans there actually want to get behind the team.

Phil Jones confirmed sighting.

and again for proof.

 

I lived in Scotland for a while. Not always a great experience if you were from south of the border.
A couple of friends visited and we went for a drink and a meal at the big hotel on the eastern bank of Loch Lomond. All so looking forward to it, the splendid view and a magnificent meal.
All they had on the lunchtime menu was pizza!!! No traditional fayre, nothing.
Ah well, at least we can enjoy the view of the loch over drinks. We just need to pull back these curtains. Behind the curtains was surely a stunning view of the water, but no - just a wallpapered wall.
Then the pizza arrived - one of those kids pizzas....microwaved, so extra chewey.

Marvellous idea @David ? just had a quick look and somebody has already done it ! Looks like a quality production, full of insight and the answer to that age old question !

There speaks a man who sounds like he has no kids ?
I'd settle for them not being eternally embarrassed by me..., their 'role model' they aspire to be!!? 
'Hang on, what's that kids? You want to have a paunch, a mid-range car, work hard and provide for your family...sports cars, big watches, tattoos, falling out of nightclubs with gorgeous women is such a unreconstructed male stereotype'? My bad. 

"thin akinfenwa, you're just a thin akinfenwa....." ?

Sorry to be the one to break it to you but those black and white gazelles are more than likely zebras. ?

First rule of the forum; never tell @Boycie he is right.
Second rule of the forum; NEVER TELL BOYCIE HE IS RIGHT!! 

Yeah, why not! ? ? #COYR

Recently cleared out my mums house before she moved.
absolute treasure trove of my dads Rams memorabilia.
He was writing a book about the history of DCFC at one point.
loads of old photos and programmes.
I’ll post some pics when I can work out how to do it!
