Simmo’s left foot

I couldn't help but notice there were still a lot of people standing in the aisles at the top of the south stand. These idiots will ruin it for the rest! I assume the club are worried about people thinking they can stand anywhere they want, hence the ticket checks.

Unfortunately there does seem to be an element of "I'll do want I want" associated with standing in seated areas, I hear that also happens at away games too?

but could we add something like B4's panda profile pick to the emoji list so that anyone can, very politely, give a bit of a 'could you have made your (often completely valid) point in a less provocative way' nudge?.......i.e. be a bit more B4

Thats a great idea 😎

We are currently only 2 points away from achieving 2 points per game/90 points total. 90 being the average points over the last 7 years to achieve second place. Bolton in second place are currently plus 1 to that line of 2 per game. Current points per game for the season so far would suggest us making 87 points...

However, we have not seen much in the way of our crucial players going injured at the top of their form, or suspensions at critical times. It's all to play for but I personally think we are better placed this time, hitting good form earlier, and possibly a bit more depth in certain areas of the squad. Wilson and Ward are looking very good, as is JJ, with NML being the influence we know he can be. Good player management and getting the most out of squad players is going to be critical.

Also ins and maybe outs in January will be important. Hope we can keep Bird and Cashin and Nyambe and he comes back from AFCON injury free and fighting fit, and we see more of Elder, and we can extend JJ, to actually get more out of him. As for new players, lets see what happens!

It's actually a great time to be a rams fan so COYR 🙂

I'd suggest where there is a problem then the mods need to adopt a no-nonsense rule and delete the post and warn the poster. I run several global FB groups this way, and have no problems at all, because its made very clear.

I've often found people are ready to dismiss sensible comments that don't fit with what they think.

I'm sure the mods know their usual suspects!

Great OP by the way, and well worth talking about.

Got a feeling this will be a tough game, nervy first half, 0-0 at half time, but we get a messy goal early in the second half and another late on on the break to seal a result. COYR!

Orient 0 Derby 2. FRGS Cashin.

I reckon this could be another win, as long as we keep our heads, not running around like headless turkeys. 🙂

What a load of nonsense. Hopefully a few billionaires will see how Derby are run and realise that there is a better way to run a club, rather than splurging out unsustainable money on ridiculous player wages and fees!

Excellent result, bring on the next round!

You reckon football has gone backwards,  were you around in the 70's and 80's?

The bad language and abusive chanting was on another level back then. 

Yes, I was, I stood or sat in every stand and terrace at the Baseball Ground, from 1974 onwards 🙂 Eventually I was a popside regular right to the end of the BBG.

What about people standing in the aisles that now routinely happens in the south stand? They have done nothing about this, nor have they done anything about the foul language and abusive chanting either! Away matches are now no go areas for some fans because of the standing and the behavior reported. 

Seems to me that football is going backwards, and both clubs and authorities are just letting it happen.

I hope the club advertises the lower tier of the away corner as seating and actually enforce it, for the benefit of those away fans who don't want to or cannot stand.

Plus what about those in the east stand near the away fans who think its their right to stand and block others view?

Perhaps boycotting a single match and putting a large RIP OFF WIGAN banner in place might sort it out quickly?

Brighton are in Europe cos their owner has put hundreds of millions of pounds in to the club.

Which is exactly why football is in a mess I think..

That's a great result, top work lads!

Derby 3 Bristol Rovers 1. FRGS Collins. 

Had to smile when I saw this, poppy not allowed due to a perceived slip risk, but several thousand fans standing in a seated area with the seat in front at shin level is fine. 

Nice fight back! Bring on the replay, could be a cracking game I hope. Several giant killing results, the joy of the cup!
