  1. With my ethical head on, Bolton. Finished 3rd, they deserve it. With my historical head on, Bolton. Proper football club, mostly decent fans, been through the mill like us. With my selfish head on, whoever has the smallest budget to compete against.
  2. Release Fozzy? You cold hearted gits.
  3. For the record, when I say that you're on of my favourite posters, I don't mean that I have a large picture of tou on my wall.
  4. You're one of my favourite posters Mucker, but on this I have to say that you really are quite, quite wrong.
  5. How on Earth is it possible that 3 people can dislike this?
  6. Or: Cattle die, Kinsmen die. You yourself must oneday die. But a noble name will never die If good reputation one gets. The Havamal
  7. Why has my screen gone all blurry?
  8. With apologies to JRR Tolkien. Sons of Derby, of Derbyshire, my brothers! I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me. A day may come when the courage of the Rams fails, When we forsake our dreams and break. But it is not this day! An hour of Gumps and shattered shields when the age of heroes comes crashing down. But it is not this day! This day we fight! By all that you hold dear on this good earth; Rams of Derby: Hold your ground, stand firm and win!
  9. I think it might be because the EFL are.... (deep breath).... Short-sighted, useles, incompetent, buffoons who have no idea of fair play and who wouldn't recognise a good idea if it were gift-wrapped and accompanied with a large neon sign saying ' A GOOD IDEA'.
  10. I agree, chuck it out. And put up with the mistakes, isn't that what living with it means?
  11. If it's not an obvious howler, the original decision stands, and we live with it. Referee errors are just part of the game. Over the last 150 odd years there will have been thousands of wrong calls, but that's still better than the current system that's sucking all the joy from the game.
  12. The only opinion that would matter would be the ref's, just as it always used to be. But now he would have the opportunity to review his desicion to help eliminate glaring errors.
  13. Hence "seemingly sizable". You're right of course, probably a very vocal minority.
  14. I can't believe that there is another club in the world where, in our posistion, a seemingly sizable section of the fanbase would want the manager kicked out. Yes I suppose it would be nice to watch Jim Smith or peak Mac type football every week, but , how can I put this? We've got no feckin' money. Yes we may have a higher wage budget than many in this league, (or not, I don't know) but given the restraints and time frame he's had to work in I think P.W's done a crackig job.
  15. Let the following be a warning regarding the dire consequences of pitch invasions. Back in the early '70s when I was about 9, me and me mates went to a night match at the BBG. As was our custom, we paid a tanner to go in the boys end. As was also our custom, come half time we nipped over the fence so as to get into the Pop Side. As we walked along the edge of the pitch, a photographer was blocking my way, but in going around him, I strayed over the line onto the pitch. Then, disaster! A stalwart steward, spotting my incursion, swooped. Having single-handedly foiled the mass pitch-invasion, the heroic man in the tabbard frog-marched 9 year old me out of the ground and told me to clear off. As well as having to navigate my way home alone, I also had to tell me mam that I was early because I'd been chucked out. Now tell me that pitch invasions are a good idea!
  16. Well, yes I suppose that's a good point, but to suggest that I could be wrong???
  17. Most rediculous statment I've ever read on here.
  18. And everywhere else. Also, Alveston is Alvo, not Olvo. Also, I'm a pedantic twot.
  19. Cambridge 0 - 2 Derby FRGS: Collins
  20. !975. Hope it's a warm sunny day, East Stand's a lovely place for a snooze.
  21. We could if we tried. Also, don't call me Shirley.
  22. Car park connoisseurs 1-1 Derby FRGS: Cashin
