What's this about mate? Genuine question. I buy their training gear as it's really good quality, being the reason I ask.

Apologies for the delay @Comrade 86 not been on for a few days. Especially in the States UA promote their gear and use hunting links including ‘big game’ to promote their clothing. That’s the massacre of wildlife especially endangered species. I’m certainly no expert but learnt about it several years ago. You can search online to find it. 
I used to have some of their clothing but gave to charity once I found out.

All about an individuals choice I understand. Ethical brands are my thing so I have a little bit of knowledge, never enough!!

Is there any difference between using Kangaroo skin or Cow skin if they have been bred for farming, the meat is in the food chain, are you advocating it be wasted? Surely utilising as much as possible from farmed animals is better than wasting it. I genuinely didn't know they used that product and what the issue is with it, I am making the assumption that they are farmed in my ignorance by the way.

Realistically, for sports, we aren't going to change to plant based footwear are we, (again I haven't done any research on viable alternatives) and plastic based is a bigger no no.

Not been on for a few days apologies for delay. Kangaroos are massacred and their joeys are often left alive in the pouches. Biggest wildlife massacre on planet Earth . It’s a free for all. Adidas are implicated by their demand for kangaroo skin to make the boots. 

In terms of plant based footwear there’s  an ever increasing choice. 
 

Please please NOT Under Armour (massive supporters of hunting especially in USA) or Adidas who continue to use kangaroo skin for their boots while all other major suppliers have agreed to stop 

Ok ok it is my birthday tomorrow. Promotion is what I’ve asked for wrapped up in Championship paper

Such a heavy pitch it’s a salute to all players that their fitness levels can achieve such good football throughout. I genuinely was concerned when the ball sometimes slowed up that it could be A-A. I’m tucked up now and very content. Listening to the rain in Stockport that I think has arrived from Pompey!

I split with mine two hours before KO. Not suggesting you follow suit but it is The Mighty Rams you’re watching 

This has nothing to do with my earlier quote regarding Joe Ward

Over the Easter fixtures were starting to see why we brought CBT in. Completely nothing to do with football, but is it just me or does shirt look a bit too big for him

I think they’re dropped the numbers to fit his name in (seriously) May be how it looks?

GF has decided to go for a run. 'I can't bloody think with you screaming at the telly every 5 seconds' she says, before theatrically flouncing towards the door.

'Will you be gone long dear?' I respond.

Relentless rain could be A-A god forbid

When you are at the game and compare to comments on here…. Can be quite remarkable…… enjoyed the game against opponents wanting to play football. Hope Blackpool make the play offs . Entertaining game for me. Wasn't even that bladdered so have a considered opinion…. Wild far too few mentions for his excellent performance. Left me a content Ram not just  the victory but back on tract. We can do this. Keep the faith Rams

He was brilliant. 

 

 

His pass was exquisite . He’ll be our new Morgan Whittaker 

I’d like to add when Collins came on he was so very effective in what he did. Always underrated. He will rise again 

Just crawled into my pit. Great to see old friends and banter at the Exeter Arms pre match. We were behind the shot which was something special and deserved  to win any match . Will rate players when I’m  sober as for now I’m  a very content and drunk Ram . 
Goodnight Rams wherever you are. Lots to do still but hey we’re sitting pretty and content yes?!! 🐏

How many have Blackpool taken anyone know? 
Up the Rams from Sheffield 🍺🐏

First of three trains to PP. via some welcoming alcoholic establishments of course. Safe trips Rams far and wide

Potentially, I can't recall that particular game though. CBT starting is integral for me, agreed. I'm really quite nervous about this game, won't lie. 

This. Despite pre match ales the nerves will no doubt be palpable and feed through to the players. Fans will have to steady them, players need 100% backing. 

Those wise enough to know better can see a victory at Pompey and a defeat to Carlisle

Cheers for the link, enjoyed a read of that. 
A rare opportunity for me to get to PP, though my ‘live’ record last few years has been erm underwhelming so I’m incognito
