Nothing not to like on this, but on the other hand... nothing really to like. just very plain

But then Nike can go and get a kit absolutely perfect which i think this Brighton one is for them. 

It's that time of the year again when the sports companies bring out a multitude of shirts for fans to pay another £60 to buy. 

I have to admit though, this Liverpool shirt might be the worst i've seen in a long time! Looks like Roma said they didn't want it so they put Liverpool's badge on as an afterthought 

The annoying thing about this thread is that its quite true. 

There's a guy on Twitter who set up an account called BarryTheRam to tweet out 'ITK' information and then logs back into his normal account to abuse the other account and accuse other people of being this mystery man.... What is the point ? An actual grown man as well i'd like to add to this

Very Odd

                          Marshall 

       Wisdom   Edmundson Clarke

Byrne                                             Forsyth

                        Shinnie

                        Knight

Jozwiak                                        Lawrence

                        Kazim

Tactics-

Knight man mark Barry Bannann to stop him dictating play. 

Byrne to mark Adam Reach closely. 

Jozwiak and Lawrence have a fluid position whilst attacking, meaning they can cut inside as the wing backs will be supporting on the overlap. 

Knight & Shinne stay back at corners. Get the box packed with Clarke, Fozzy, Ed and Wiz. 

One thing to consider is the impact that playing Roos is having on Marshall's chances for the Euros with Scotland. Can't reflect well on him if he's on the bench for Championship relegation fodder.

GK: Pickford, Pope, Henderson (3)

DF: Harry Maguire, John Stones, Connor Coady, Tyrone Mings, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Kyle Walker, Luke Shaw, Ben Chilwell (8)

Mid: Phil Foden, Mason Mount, Jack Grealish, Declan Rice, Kalvin Phillips, Jordan Henderson (if fit), Jesse Lingard, Jude Bellingham, James Ward-Prowse (9)

Fwd: Harry Kane, Raheem Stirling, Jadon Sancho, Marcus Rashford, Domonic Calvert-Lewin, Bukayo Saka (6)

26 man team.

Reviewing performances over the past number of games a show of support for the players is like putting a sticking plaster over an axe wound. It will have no discernible impact whatsoever but if people want to do that then fair play to them.

We'll be going down to support the badge. 

The club will be here long after these players will be

This man please. Just for those luscious locks. 

The players will look on in awe as he sways his hair majestically... His coat's pretty cool too 

Please let this be a showing of support and not defiant vandalism. 

Yes the players have let us down this season but the last thing they need before the game is negativity. 

Quite mainstream but i can't wait for the final season of Game of Thrones. 

I would also recommend Vikings on Amazon Prime & Stranger Things on Netflix

I respect that posting on here is a very personal matter, and timing is to a degree affected by current state of mind. I would be comforted though if @AshfieldRam, @Moist One and @ronnieronalde might sometime soon let us know there is more light since the turn of the year. Good to see the latter two posting from time to time. Stay strong you Rams, and Ronnie!

Thank you for asking. 

I'm still not fully okay. I will admit things have got a little bit better now but things got a lot worse for me in the new year. When the festive period was over, I was able to speak properly to a mental health charity who dug a little deeper into what was triggering all this. Turns out, i had suppressed some trauma from my childhood so much that something inside me just snapped and bought all this emotional distress on. I was referred to the Crisis team who visited me at home a few times a week to check on my well being and to make sure i wasn't in any danger. I've now been signed off by these but have to wait 4 weeks until i can access CBT.

I've managed to do a couple of hours at work on the odd occasions, and i'm extremely thankful that my boss has been supportive throughout. 

I'm currently scheduled to have therapy sessions with 2 different charities as well as the fore mentioned CBT.

I'm by no means fixed and even as early as this morning i broke down in tears but i'm starting to edge towards slight normality. I'm now realising that there is help for me and the level of support i'm getting from my Girlfriend, Family and Friends is incredible. I feel like there's hope again.

I wouldn't set too much store by CBT tbh, but talking therapies are free through your GP, an initial block of 12 sessions with the possibility of referral for a further 12. Depending on where you are, there are also voluntary sector providers like DRCS, which are pretty good. 

Do you have a sense of what it is that is making you feel like you can't carry on? Trying to think it through honestly yourself can help, even better if you can share it with friends/ family/ partner. 

Hang in there. These things do go in cycles, so while it may feel like a downward curve now, that won't last indefinitely. Recovery is always possible, so don't give up!

I’m not entirely sure what it’s manifested itself in. I feel like I’m at the bottom of a pit with no escape and at that point that was the only way out.

I’m glad I didn’t do that though, obviously.

thank you for the help btw. I really do appreciate it. To both you and @i-Ram

Hello all, 

It's hard to post this but this week has been possibly the worst my mental health has ever been. I recently posted in another thread about wanting to make 2019 positive but ever since Saturday i've gone downhill so so fast. 

I had a little worry, It started as a minor worry, then it developed inside me to a concern, the grew larger and larger into a huge obsession that i couldn't shift and consequently i found myself at the doors of depression. 

I started taking my Citalopram on Saturday but it hasn't yet kicked in. On Monday, i was in absolute hysteric floods of tears crying to my Mum and Dad and since then the floodgates have definitely opened. My mum gave me a Diazepam to help calm me down but this just made me dizzy and sick before eventually having a calming effect late on in evening.

Tuesday i went in to work as normal at about 2:30 my boss told me to get home and rest because i looked very ill. I went to play football in the evening as i always do on Tuesday but this proved extremely difficult. I thought the exercise and fresh air would do me wonders but inside all i was doing was fixating on my problems. Despite nearly passing out 3 times i managed to make it through. After another cry to my parents i managed 6 hours sleep.

Wednesday i was able to see the doctor. He gave me more tablets and some numbers for CBT therapy providers in the local area. I immediately rang them and was quite shocked just how long the process can take and one of them was charging quite a considerable amount.

Wednesday evening as i attempted to try to be active to my mind of things i panicked and fainted for a good few minutes. After coming round i was take to my bed where again, i found myself in floods of tears being consoled by Girlfriend, Mum and Dad.  

Yesterday morning i woke up very early again. 4:45 to be exact. I dragged my duvet down stairs hoping that a change of scenery may help. I went to take my tablet in the morning as i've started doing and then i got really really scared. I looked at these tablets and though 'Why don't i just take loads of them and then i won't have to feel like this anymore?' So i took one, then took a second one straight after. I started Vomiting almost immediately afterwards, panicking and deep breathing. Before i knew, i had fainted once again only to be found by my Mum. Once i had come round, my vomiting continued and my thoughts worsened about just taking more tablets to stop me feeling bad or anything all together. I was taken straight to the hospital and given a number of physical tests that all came back positive so i was allowed to come home. I hadn't at this point mentioned to the hospital or anyone that i was feeling suicidal.  As the afternoon progresses my mood swung again, up and down and up and down again. Eventually i was again hysterical and i decided that i had to tell my parents that i'd worried about ending things that morning if i could. I explained to them that i felt like a constant failure and that peoples life would be easier without me there. I don't think i've ever cried as much as i did yesterday. I had the same conversation with my girlfriend that evening and it absolutely destroyed me saying what i said but i was and still am scared that i will do something stupid. My dad rang one of the metal health helplines and i explained to them what was happening in my mind and they marked me as 'critical' meaning i needed immediate help. They eventually rang and they were absolutely no help what so ever. The earliest they could see me was Saturday afternoon and despite my girlfriend pleading with the man on the phone that i needed immediate help he just said 'Saturday afternoon' then shut down the conversation to hang up. I was left in the darkest hole i think i could possibly have been in and if it wasn't for the people around me i don't know what i would have done. 

I actually began to improve last night and decided that this morning i would come in to work and get myself some routine back. I have done and so far i'm just about on top of my emotions but even the littlest things feels like it could set me off. 

Christmas is my favourite time of the year and i can't even think about it. I just want to be better for it so the people who are around me can enjoy it too. 

I'm sorry for the essay but i thought writing it down might help and i'm hopeful that i can be on the mend soon and one day look back on it with the experience to help others

I watched 'The Patriot ' on Sunday evening on the recommendation of a friend.

Possibly the worst film i have ever seen in my entire life.

The level of historical inaccuracy is incredible and the Anti-British theme went too far. Mel Gibson literally stabbed the horse of the evil British guy with an American flag ?‍♂️

I'm not really shocked about the historical inaccuracies though as Mel Gibson is involved. Braveheart & Apocolypto were both rife with inaccuracy. 

1/10 (i'd like to give it 0 but it had Heath Ledger in so that deserved something)

I may make myself a subject of the thread by saying this, but i'm pretty sure everybody thinks they are right when they say something, otherwise they wouldn't say it?

Can't argue with that logic to be fair ?

New annoyance.... people who think they're Politicians (Twitter politicians are the worst)

duck me they're a different breed i'm sure! 

They all think they're correct, they all get offended by the tiniest of things and they think they're intellectual and above people because they talk about 'politics'. 

Prime example, a bloke i work with thinks that me and the Managing Director are 'Plebs' (he actually said this) because we talk about football on a Monday morning rather than whats going on in the country. 

People who use the word 'Pants' as a describing word... Like a grown man actually saying, 'Oh (insert player name) is pants'.

Why? The word is a Noun? By the same logic i could say '(Insert player name) is Kettle' or '(insert player name) is T-shirt'. 

I understand some people say it in front of their children as a way to avoid bad language but it really really winds me up. 

People who say 'pacifically' instead of 'Specifically'

I cringe so much when i hear it.

Avengers: Age of Ultron 

9/10.

only problem I have with it is there's no mention as to how Iron Man had loads of suits again. At the end of iron man 3 he destroyed them all. Also captain America lost his shield at the end of the winter soldier but has it back at the start of this film

Did you know Pizzorno is capable of this?
