How on Earth is it possible that  3 people can dislike this?

Welcome to the internet.

Now we know who it is, the answer is "Yes, but we're not allowed to talk about it!"!

👀

Bit of hand cream probably used…

We’re told it’s a jagerbomb.

I’ve had a few in my time, it’s Jäger which in a dark brown mixture, almost like cough medicine and red bull.

Never in my life have I seen a pinky purple one.

No prizes for guessing who it is.

Once everyone has sobered up 

Not my picture. What do you think is being drank here?

The PL Twitter account has apparently posted the following:

“Following their defeat to Newcastle, Sheffield Utd are relegated pending Everton and Nott'm Forest's points-deduction appeals."

This is being interpreted as meaning that the points deduction could be increased as a result of the appeals…. Perhaps Florest could write a strongly worded letter protesting about this suggestion….

I thought the Everton case was done and dusted now?

I'm not sure they did? 🤷‍♂️
Wasn't it more along the lines of "Please do not go on the pitch before the final whistle".

That's entirely different to your quote, and covers their arses when it comes to thousands breaking the law on their property!
 

Yes, it was inevitable.  No, there was nothing more the club could have done to avoid the invasion.  But that still does not make it right or acceptable.

... and as for the atmosphere once they were on the pitch... Embarrassingly non-existent, imo.
If we'd have partied like that back in the '80's, it would have been called a wake!  👀

Children sliding around on the hallowed turf, and grown-ups wandering aimlessly wondering "What happens now".  No "scenes".  Very little jumping around singing and cheering. No passion.  No emotion.  I repeat... embarrassing. 
To be fair, having a good overview of the proceedings from my seat, I suspect the majority were puffed out after all that exercise!  Looked like most of them had never been near a sports pitch before!  

It was fully expected of course (as a lot of anti-social/selfish behaviour is nowadays!), so it certainly didn't spoil my afternoon, but I still maintain a lap of honour by the players, management, and Mr Clowes... along with their nearest and dearest... would have been much more preferable... especially in front of 25k+ still in the stands.
But much of the stands were nigh on empty within 5 minutes of the final whistle.  When the (majority of the ) pitch invaders eventually left the pitch, they weren't miraculously full again, which would imply most had given up, and headed home.
Check out the numbers still there once the trophy was brought out.  It was like the raffle results at a village fete!  

Having scrolled through Instagram this afternoon/evening, seeing the pictures of Dad’s on the pitch with their sons and daughters, players being paraded around on fans shoulders, I don’t know.

They are pictures that won’t just live in digital format on phones, printed off, displayed around the house, memories that will last a lifetime.

The scenes of thousands on the pitch was far from being embarrassing, in fact the club are putting content out tonight of the fans on their social media channels, despite asking to stay off the pitch. Players are also sharing them as well.

Celebrating like that is not for everyone, I know, much like the stands themselves, some will prefer the safety of the West Stand, others the “limbs” of the South Stand.

Just think though, some of those kids, that could be the only time they get a chance to step on to the Pride Park pitch. Something many young kids could only dream of.

It’s a shame fans such as yourself didn’t get the opportunity to applaud a lap of honour as you wanted, think at this time it’s one of those where just be grateful you were there.

Many wouldn’t have been able attend for various reasons, I wasn’t able to even get down the pub as I’ve been throwing up and pissing out my arse since yesterday with what I can only assume to be that Norovirus kids love to share at school.

Having to watch from bed, without a touch of alcohol has been tough!

For anyone interested 

Whilst RamsTV was on air and everyone was out on the pitch and in the stands celebrating, he was in the office with work to do, contacting Owen Bradley to ask him if he wants an interview.

The bloke is pure class, it’s not about him, it’s about the team from top to bottom and he feels genuine with it.

Just a real shame his brand of football has caused a rift between fans all season, this could potentially be the last promotion many fans will witness.

Hope it doesn’t get vandalised.

Unfortunately the world we live in, I’ll give it a month before some disrespectful moron comes along and adds their own stamp on it. Wouldn’t put it past one of those down the A52 to make a special trip.

I'm a semi-professional in betting

Is that a translation error, I mean how do you become semi professional in betting? Especially when bookies don’t like profit making customers

It's a sad reflection that this is the case.

Is this because more unique posters come to the site after a defeat than a win?

Or because there is more posting and engagement after a defeat. Many of the people who post negatively after a defeat get replies back, then a debate is generated. Whereas people posting postively after a win and less likely to get replies.

It always makes my heart sink a little when the matchday thread only has about 15 pages on a Saturday evening after a straightforward 2-0 home win.

As you say, negativity sparks debates, positivity rarely does, it will simply receive more reactions.

Same all over I would expect, Twitter trending topics are usually having a pop at something rather than celebrate something positive.

That's a bizarre take

Welcome to DCFC Fans, I take it you're new around here?

Here's one for you.

The ad revenue on this forum increases following a defeat.

I never find myself taking much comfort from that, I would prefer to take the 3 points every single week.

If you're betting against your club and find yourself wanting us to lose for profit, that's when you have some serious questions to ask yourself in private.

I've voted for Mark. He's very dry! 

What towels does he use?

It’s been a year and half now since I posted this announcement, we are set to make a change to email address logins this summer when the forum will undergo a makeover.

Make sure your email addresses are up to date, otherwise you will find yourself locked out of your account!

Daylight come and I wanna go home

Let’s not complicate things here by adding extra letters, it’s simple for a simple person

Think Ward has been underrated by most this season. Defensive lapses, yes, but he's been so dangerous going forward at times.

Edit: Looks like @Day agrees with me ffs.

Given I posted mine and you haven’t, looks like you agree with me.

It’s ok to look up to me as a role model, you could choose a lot worse.
