Final post Stevenage update - outstanding figures for the Rams

In that 32 league game period, we scored 57, conceded 22

Won 22, Drawn 5, Lost 5

Shame we had a bad start or we’d have had it sown up by Easter. Maybe the refs calmed down on their dodgy decisions around that time as well.

Would love a parade to celebrate but can’t really do that for second place😂😂😂

We need to parade our trophy. Another bit of silverware for the cabinet.

Any footage of the goals?

What trophy do you get for finishing 2nd?

I’m in Vietnam waiting for a transfer to Hanoi sweating like mad because it’s about 40*C. I’m relying on this forum for updates throughout the match.

Schoolboy error I know but I thought we’d have it down up by Christmas.

I have seen two automatics under Arthur Cox one play off final win. Missed TBE promotion because I was playing football on Saturday afternoons then and watched god knows how many failed play off attempts. Sadly I will not be going on Saturday and I’m not counting ones chickens yet. 
Rest assured I will be on my phone or if it’s on RamsTV I may even watch on their if I can get a good internet connection (my missus will be please).

Good luck on Saturday and I hope we make it across the line and everyone celebrations are just as good as the ones I had back in the 80’s.

Nope. The big clubs with money didn't accept that referees made human decisions. 

VAR should only be used for things like line calls, yes or no. You have to laugh that there's not a line call on things like corners or throw-ins, but is there on a bit of a boot is offside!

The thinking is that if it leads to a goal. You could always argue the other way that it didn’t lead to a goal because the decision wasn’t called.

If you use technology then you have to accept the gnats knacker decisions.

What are their options?

Stamp their feet and cry cheats.

Burn down Atwell’s house?

I’d be going down the what are you doing about Man City and their rule breaks.

Yes I think it might have been. That’s old age creeping in.

Luton home game last of the season early 80’s was the best pitch invasion ever. They never finish the match.

I’ve made an absolute schoolboy error and I’m missing the last game due to going on holiday ffs 🤦‍♂️.

I maybe mistaken but cant recall players doing laps of honour in those days, but as i say i maybe mistaken.

I can remember a lap of honour when we got promoted to Division One under Sir Arthur Cox.

For me, if your behaviour has a negative impact on others, that's where I have a problem.

If you want to stick a few lines of coke cut down with aerial non bio up your nose, risk a stadium ban, arrest and all the consequences that come with that, go for it, just don't be a knob to others whilst your ego has been artificially inflated for a brief period of time.

If you want to go punch someone after the game because they are from a different city and wear a different shirt, go for it, just find likeminded individuals and do it away from others where women and young fans are innocently just trying to get home after the football match.

Install big cages, load it with weapons and have fans sign waivers before entering, no use of medical services allowed and the coroner will come collect any bodies in the morning.

It's when that behaviour impacts others, reading situations from fans on this forum, especially older fans that have had dealings with other fans at away games really annoys me. 

Be it alcohol or drugs, if you can't control yourself then you should be in therapy, not a football stadium.

I thought it was cut with something they use in worming tablets. It must be true you show me someone on coke who has got worms.

RIP Leighton. 

Happy Heavenly Birthday B4.

Where else should I post? There are enough spam threads about.

My opinion on Warne isn’t even that drastic. I’ve seen far worse on here.

I apologise for having higher expectations and wanting to play a better brand of football.

When you look at Plymouth and Sheff Wed struggling up there, it doesn’t bode well playing like this at League One level.

Tbh I agree with you 

Ipswich pulled it out the bag again tonight. 

What are each teams wage bills like? Also how much did both teams take to assemble. 
 

I really hope Ipswich do it looking at the other teams up there.

The joy of sitting at those traffic lights at the turn for Crich and Cromford  at weekends and even more so at bank holidays.  As you sit waiting you get surrounded by revving bikes full of 60yr old blokes who turn into Mad Max for the afternoon and screech off as soon as the light turns Green and leave you sat there as one car makes it through.  Lovely day out spending an hour travelling 1/2 mile. 

Just as bad coming from the Bakewell side. I often get caught out when I’ve just got out of Matlock and hit the traffic and I always say ffs 🤦‍♂️.

Good goal today but got caught in possession at the back that could have cost us. I think he has improved us.

And stay for the dancing in the pavilion, and greasy rat burger from the arcade over the road after as you gently walk you new soon be STD along the river.

Also, if you're both 7 years old there's Gullivers kingdom.

You’ve brought back some memories there. Especially the Rat Burger. 

Come to Matlock Bath it’s a bit like Blackpool without the sea. You’ll have the added bonus if the weathers good of sitting in traffic for a few hours and no where to park.
