Have you considered dropping acid with your pre-match pie?

Leicester Ram got a reaction from SKRam in James Collins
I’ve made a start on my humble pie
I’ve only had a few bites so far but I hope I’m going to be hoovering up the crumbs by the end of the season
Would still much prefer to skip the main course of Collins Pie and tuck into the John-Jules ice cream sundae though. Everything tells me that will be tastier.

Leicester Ram got a reaction from Alph in Live football thread.
Not often I’ll sit down and watch the PL
I’m quite detached from it, it’s basically the same as the NFL or NBA for me at this point - I don’t hate or dislike any of the top teams no more than I hate/dislike the Dallas Cowboys or New York Knicks
And I think the online “banter” culture is embarrassing these days, just a bunch of teenagers and grown men with the brains of teenagers going round in circles, s*** memes about McTominay having more goals than the Chelsea forward line or something boring like that
But I have to say watching Man United is actually very funny, I’m quite enjoying how bad they are
Garnacho and Hojlund couldn’t finish their dinners

Leicester Ram reacted to Caerphilly Ram in Conor Coventry - signed by Charlton
He joined Rotherham in January 2023 until the end of the championship season….while Paul Warne was managing, erm….Derby County.
It’s a rumour but turning our noses up at a player joining from a premier league club just because he played for Rotherham last year seems strange to me

The list of left backs seen off by Fozzy is absolutely mental.

Leicester Ram reacted to Anag Ram in Winter Rumour Mill
TJJ is a talented young player who is rebuilding his career. Yes, he gets bundled over. Yes, he’s had a poor injury record. But so has Waghorn, Washington etc and they’re not going to get any better as players whereas this guy will.
He fashions chances with his touch and awareness. We haven’t seen him start, yet he’s already scored a couple and had other efforts well saved like on Saturday (he looked devastated not to score).
In a squad devoid of good finishers, he is a valuable asset. He’s exactly the type of ‘gamble’ we should take.

Leicester Ram reacted to Boycie in Steve bloomers washing errrrr I mean watching
So everyone clapping, lots singing, with a finale of a loud “Derby!” isn’t building the atmosphere just seconds from kick off?
How would listening to music get the crowd engaging en mass anymore than this does?
Unless it’s less noise you want while you check your bets online? 😂

Leicester Ram reacted to Day in Fostering
I mentioned a few weeks ago in another topic that we are currently looking after 2 young boys (2 and 3), they moved in with us back in October and currently under assessment for temporary kinship foster parent status.
It's tough. Knowing we have at least 2 foster parents on here, just wanted to unload really.
We stepped in, trying to help out in short notice, I think it was 3 weeks from hearing they need our help to moving in and they have been fantastic. Settled in so well, this side has been an amazing experience.
The other side, not so.
Meetings in person, remotely, check ups, health visitors, assessments, training courses then on top of that being available for contact with their mum and her mum (their gran) wanting her slice of our time
Where is the time left to, you know, do fun things with the boys like they should be doing? With both of me and Leanne working, just not finding the hours in the day. We're about to go through Family Conference which is an agreement for scheduled contact visits. The boys mum is wanting twice a week!
It's honestly overwhelming and I can understand why there is a shortage of foster parents available in our local area at least. Even the paperwork with weekly diary, accident forms, medication forms.
Yesterday I was emailed another batch of assessment meetings.
With those they want to dig into my finances, family tree, personality, education, leisure activities, even interview our ex partners and send us for a medicals.
Pretty much every Tuesday into the new year for 2 months will be taken up by this one particular department.
As I say, then you have social services, health services, an independent reviewer all wanting to take any other free hours you get until we get to the final boss which is the fostering panel that has to approve us.
Doesn't stop then either as this is only temporary whilst social services consider court orders and possible SGO orders.
Don't get me wrong, I get they have to be careful, most kids entering the fostering system have not found themselves there without going through tough times. They need to check that they are placed in a suitable home. Just feels like the whole process could be streamlined with less people ticking the same boxes.
Take DBS checks for example, we had to have them before placement through social services, now Fostering team want to do them again, surely they are there on file that can be shared?
Not much point to this post really than to say life is hard right now, currently writing this whilst in a Microsoft Teams waiting room for this weeks remote meeting. I respect you all that have been through this process.

Leicester Ram reacted to kevinhectoring in Derby v Peterborough
I think he needs to focus more on reducing minutes for NML, Fozzy and Hourihane. Playing them at this current rate risks injury as the season progresses. The likes of Tommo and Fornah will likely improve if used more, and he needs to keep his injury cover (eg Bradley) sharp. Sure too much rotation is disruptive but last season there was not enough and we know how that finished
