They check your ticket on a flight if you are turning left instead of right on boarding

What an overreaction to something very basic. Typical of this day and age though.
So the club have introduced safe standing but need to make it very clear to everybody that it isn't a general admision and doesn't mean you can go stand where you want like we used to on the popside.
It appears to me that in order to get that message across, they introduced more rigerous ticket checks before the very first match after the rails were installed. 
And that gets the message across. A 5 second check to make sure you're not going to stand in another block to be with your mates, nothing more and nothing less.
Give it a few matches and they probably won't be as vigerous (if they are, then perhaps it might be time to start moaning)
It seams to me that a tempory slight diruption is a small price to pay for gettting what you've been wanting for a decade or two

Very angry and frustrated tonight!! Genuinely thought we’d done it with a scrappy 1-0 when not at our best playing a team of anti-footballers, then the penalty, right in front of me, absolutely no way in my view, she looked at the Lino who didn’t give then pointed to the spot anyway. I agree with those saying it’s a 2023 penalty but I’d also say it’s one that VAR would give one week then not give it the next. It was extremely soft but then poor defending from Ward and not for the first time today. 
 
As for Rebecca Welch, this is the third time she’s reffed us. She was excellent the first time, good the second, horrendous today. Managed the game really poorly making a rod for her own back with those early nonsensical yellow cards for Sibley and Mendez-Laing. The Collins Leahy (who is a proper Bamford by the way) handbags could’ve avoided 2 bookings easily, there were two challenges after then on Derby players which were stonewall yellow cards not given, ironically when the crowd shouted you don’t know what you’re doing after the Bird yellow, that decision was spot on, it was the poor decisions prior that contributed to ruining the game. The only time she was consistent was booking vokes for the same offence as Sibley, which then left her a problem when he booted a Derby player in the face, she could’ve easily sent Vokes off for two bookings but that would’ve been a bad call IMO. Genuinely thought she was a class act but take it all back after today, she’s as useless as the usual rabble of officials we get week in week out at this level. Definitely no worse, we’ve had worse refs this season. 
 
Thought we tried to play today but the players weren’t quite at it. Wildsmith Cashin Ward Hourihane Sibley all below par. Ward I thought really struggled and I’m surprised he stayed on.
Still unbeaten in 6, we were never going to win 10-12 in a row which we would need to do to get the results we want over Christmas and New Year where maximum points will be really useful to us. A win on Thursday sets us up nicely for some tricky Christmas fixtures.
 
 

I find it funny people have spats with each other and bear grudges. No offence to anyone, but I really can’t remember who I’ve argued with and who I’ve had a nice conversation with. I think I have a text based version of face blindness. If there’s a post I want to reply to, I reply to it. I might back you up in an argument one day, and then sarcastically point out the ridiculousness of your post the next day. And you might think that’s a bit bipolar, but I honestly haven’t even registered who it is I’m replying to.
I think the whole world is just itching for a fight at the minute though. It’s very obvious politically. Never has there been more far right vs far left all over the world (maybe there has, but not since I’ve been old enough to take notice). And I think that angst and tension is filtering down into people’s normal lives.
We all just need to convert to Buddhism or something. Shave our heads, throw our phones away, and go live on a mountain top. 

Boro fan here, donning hard hat and coming in peace. 
Been an occasional stalker on this board (ever since all the unpleasantness!) but felt compelled to register today after seeing this sad news.
B4 was a poster I saw popping up on almost every thread that appeared on here and his passion for his football team was so clear with every word he typed. Fans with this level of devotion are few and far between and should be treasured by clubs and other fans alike. I'm sure he will leave a huge hole behind for everyone who knew him. Sending condolences to all friends, family and fellow DCFC supporters for your loss. 
All the best, Steve (not that one!) 

We were here so it wasn't that difficult. After the fourth official spoke to him Warne was mostly sat in the dugout with Barker doing the coaching.

What's the tune for this one?

If they have a heart, they do! 

For anyone that missed it.
 

Wildsmith
Nyambe.    Nelson.    Cashin.   Forsyth
Ward.      Bird.     Fornah.    Barkhuizen
                         Sibley
                       Waghorn
Play Sibley in his best position and reap the rewards.
Bring on NML in the second half when their players are getting tired.
Rest some older ones, two games in three days. 3 points in the bag.

Absolutely gutted to hear this news, B4 has been here from when I first joined the forum, his positivity and rally calls for matchdays will be sorely missed....as will his general comments on all things Derby County related, be it pink shirts, the efl, gibshite at boro, or advive on getting to watch the Rams despite a railstrike and its your wedding day, RIP B4, I'm gonna be positive and say we are going up this year, and it will be for you 🐏🐏🐏

@B4’s Sister

Yep, it’s a no-win situation for us. Even having to play them will be bad enough, but if we lost it would be the most embarrassing point in the rivalry.
I’d rather have gone out in the groups if it turns out we have to play them next. Even if we pump them 5-0, there’s zero bragging rights.

Until the last week it has been a long time since I had been at a Derby Match. My Dad has said I’ve probably seen some of the best football so far this season. So, this thread is starting with genuine positivity from me, as my brother Daniel (B4) would also have done. This match means so much more to the Beavis family than any result. We want everyone to wave their scraves and flanges (not literally, ladies 🙈) and raise the roof for both DCFC and Daniel. Please share the details of the applause far and wide. 
I’m reliably told I need to predict a 3-0 win to Derby. 
My dad, Andy and I, will be in the east stand, stairway 35. We’ll be having a drink before the match and at halftime. Please do come and say hello.

You can sort of achieve it with a 1 and an 8 but the Football league logo kind of ruins it.
I'm no creative genius so I'm so sorry if this is rubbish. I tried!

From a @Ghost of Clough stats post:
""Over the past 5 weeks, Sibley has 2 goals and 2 assists from the 5 games he started.

Notts County - 90 mins played (mostly on the wings), 2 goals

Shrewsbury - 90 mins played (RW)

Exeter - 71 mins (AM)

Stevenage - 45 mins (AM), 1 assist

Northampton - not used

Crewe - 11 mins (AM), 1 assist

Barnsley - 5 mins (CF)

Crewe - 59 mins (RW), 1 assist

That's 2 goals and 3 assists in just 371 minutes over the past 5 weeks.

He started 4 games in a row (2 goals and an assist), yet HE'S the problem (!!!) so needs to be brought off at half time shortly after assisting our equaliser - we failed to score in the 2nd half. Dropped to the bench in the following game and not even used. 2 more assists in the following 75 minutes on the pitch (spread over 3 games), but he'll no doubt be back on the bench against Bristol.

Sibley has to play well every game, or he is subbed off and dropped the first time he 'plays badly'. Thompson can play well every game but still won't start unless we have an injury crisis. Hourihane and Smith can be poor in several consecutive games but still start next week."

It is old school, but if you have a winger very good at crossing, and a centre forward who is good in the air, it can be a great sight to behold. Unfortunately we have neither. With the players we have it seems the least obvious way of achieving success.
