Mucker1884 got a reaction from Malagaram in Is "woke" confusing kids
Some excellent comments made above... many of which I utterly agree with and/or can relate to opinion-wise... and some, specifically the words "Pansexual" and "Cisgender", I just had to google!
How the hell 11 year olds cope with all this stuff is mind-boggling.
At that age, I still wasn't sure which football team I fancied, let alone any person... and any reference to sex/sexuality etc didn't even enter my head until a good few years later. DCFC were indeed my first love, and girls (*in my case!) came much later. (Should I re-phrase that!).
I appreciate it's a generation thing, and "Kids of today grow up much quicker/sooner", but I still strongly opine that no 11 year old should be having any thoughts of anything relating to sexuality. It surely cannot be healthy... physically OR mentally! And I certainly don't envy the parents (of school age kids) of today.
I'm not entirely sure "who is to blame" (If indeed blame is to be apportioned!), but it's clear The Internet/Social Media plays a massive part, as does peer pressure in general. I certainly don't have any answers!
I'm just extremely grateful that I don't have kids of this age, at this time. Not sure how they... or me... would have coped! (My youngest is late 30's. Youngest (living) grandchild is now late teens).
As has been said, we'll all be out of the equation before long, and generations to come may well see all this current confusion in a different light, in a more understanding way (literally and emotionally), and none of it will be a big deal at all... to anyone!
But for now... Ye Gads!

Love that, but for full effect, the timing has to be just right.
I vote Wembley, Monday 29th May, continuously for the last 37 minutes, once we're 2-0 up. ?

Or maybe they could just enforce the existing ground regulations ??♂️

Don’t like talk sport and really don’t like Jamie O’Hara and Jason Cundy but had the Sports Bar on driving home from vale and they said no one wants to see a Southampton v Forest final, that’s like a championship playoff final ???
Typical premier league arrogance and usually I’d be appalled but on this occasion I found it amusing!!

The Great Escape chant with no lyrics is a great one if done continuously and repeatedly and peppered with “Derby!” at the appropriate moment. It should be our mantra like it almost became last season - save for 21points - I see this season as the great escape from League 1. The repeated and continuous song becomes a mesmerising and lifting experience especially if it has a background rhythm and beat {almost like Samba drumming} and I believe it serves to help players rise and lift the tempo of the players. Think about the psychology of music and how that affects behaviour- it can energise, transmit energy and raise spirits. The barrage of noise can have the opposite affect on the opposing team and can dampen them and raise their anxiety level.
it just needs leadership, organisation and planning. It seemed to occur organically at Port Vale the other night so can be achieved and yes many Port Vale fans separately said biggest noise by away fans for years. Blackpool away last year was likewise a huge atmosphere.
So establish the principles and repeat them. Very notable that Man Ure and Scousers have leaders amongst the crowd who “orchestrate” and “conduct”.

Now, I like the clean lines of the @Diego match day preamble, but I like @B4ev6is for his ever optimistic view of the team.
It's a dilemma.
Who do I choose?...

Oh Diego, by a clear mile.
Offers hardly anything other than being a massive lucky charm. His matchday OP's are only one notch above "Whatever", so far from a heavy read! No stats to digest. No opinion to argue with. No interesting facts to make one's mind boggle.
They're just short, sharp, easy on the eye, and does precisely what it states on the tin.
B4's rallying cries are far too energetic for me, and best left to the young 'uns, imo.
All that standing up for a whole 90mins, constant jumping around, non-stop singing, flanges on show for the whole world to see! And as for all that ball-sucking! I haven't done that sort of thing since Alan Biley left. (If you're reading Al... Hi, it's me! ?)

Whenever I see B4's handle written out I can't help but think he's telling everyone his router password.

He said,
