I thought we were rubbish. The only reason we won was Fleetwood were worse. If we are relying on teams not performing to win games we are not going anywhere. Did we string more than three passes together in the second half. I need to give my eyes some timeout after watching that for 90 minutes.

So cricket out ranks football in Notts and Sheffield United have to travel to Forest on a Friday night and the match isn’t on Sky. 

If they have removed the drum can they now ban the Collymore song please I cringe every time it’s sung.

On a serious note. I don’t have a problem with the drummer but I sit in the West Stand, can the Collymore song still be banned.

I suppose if the drum is over a certain decibel level then it could harm someone’s hearing and nobody wants that so maybe a bit of work into the noise levels to prove it won’t harm peoples hearing maybe worth looking into.

Oxford played very well. Passed the ball about created chances. At least one team played some football. I don’t claim to know the answer but I do know we were rubbish tonight.

Max Bird crocked as well. This just gets better.

I reckon ankle ligaments I did once I thought my foot had come off.

We are second best. We can’t get the ball

Any views on the Battle of Waterloo, Scott reaching the South Pole or any other events you didn't actually witness?

 

Well I know we won at Waterloo wearing Wellingtons.

Don’t forget the midfield too 

I’d add a new keeper and a stronger bench too.

I see that the usual culprits from the pfa and epl are moaning on. What none of them seem to clock is that if the players didn’t constantly kick the ball away (Korey…), or go down as if shot after being breathed on or kick off quickly after a goal is scored or didn’t delay free kicks, throw ins or goal kicks then there wouldn’t be any time added on.

Trouble is that it’s ingrained behaviour now and referees have a history of enforcing new rules for a couple of weeks and then forgetting that the rules are in place, just to make their lives easier. It’ll be interesting to see how it goes. 

Are these new rules or rules that haven’t been enforced. I’m sure most are already in the rule book. Like you say come September and it will all be forgotten.

They appeared very under-staffed yesterday. We wanted to pick up our Peterborough tickets but the queue was horrendous so we'll have to call down another day.

The booth where we picked them up last year has disappeared. 

May be something to bring up with your Rams Trust hat on. I know it needs to be cost effective but it creates some panic 10 minutes before the kick off.

I renewed my season ticket back in May. I moved seats so I was due a new ticket. On Wednesday this week after the postman had been the ticket still hadn’t arrived. I emailed the ticket office and got a standard automatic reply that they had a lot of enquiries and make sure you give all your details etc which I had. 
Thursday morning my new ticket dropped through my letter box happy days. Saturday got to the ground at 14:45 tried to get in and my ticket didn’t work. I spoke to a Steward who said I had to go the the back of the North stand to sort it out. The queue was stretching round to the normal ticket office. 
While queuing I heard the players come out and the kick off then finally got to the front of the queue and the chap said did you read your email reply which I admitted I hadn’t because my ticket had arrived so there wasn’t a problem. 
In the reply was some information that just in case my ticket didn’t arrive they had printed a ticket off which I was to collect from the ticket office. This made my season ticket invalid for today’s match. 
I got another ticket printed off and got in 5 minutes late. 
I take on board that I should have fully read the reply to my email but my question is ‘when I renewed in May a full 10 weeks before the start of the season, why am I having to contact the club 3 days before the start of the new season to enquire where my new ticket is?’

Come on surely if the tickets were sent out in plenty of time this would prevent any enquiries, confusion or distress on the day.

I wasn’t very happy at all.

By my calculations we can afford to lose about 5 more but only draw 10 all season.

We always lose to the bottom of the league. It’s a bit worrying when Fozzy is our biggest goal threat. We gave them the first and I was waving back to Wildsmith for their second because I thought he was giving me a wave.

Early days but I think we’ll stay up.

Pod Point was free for me. Paid for when I got the car. Had some problems trying to programme charges but I might be doing something wrong. Found it a lot cheaper than diesel although my full battery charge range has dropped a bit from a year ago.

Glad to see this and will be very interesting to see if it makes any difference in practice and referees enforce the rule changes. If so, this could be to our advantage this season as time wasting is used against the 'better' teams if the opposition can't win or draw by actually playing football.

It will be interesting to see how much gets added on and if it will cut out time wasting because that’s what is required.

My friend’s dad keeps purchasing more arctic land that he can’t afford.

He’s worried he has buy polar disorder. 😀

He is wasting his money there is no land in the arctic. Another Arctic fact is Greek for Bear and Antarctic is without Bears. I’m sure some boffin could explain this in more detail.

Can’t work out this interest rate rises. They are doing it to people who are on tight budgets and leaving the people who have paid there’s off free to spend what they like. I’m not sure what the ratios are.
