    Totally agree, I wish them well.
    As for most of the other clubs from the championship in that season they can rot for all i care, for example i have zero sympathy for Reading's current plight and don't wish them well at all. Particular mentions should also go to fans Birmingham City, Forest, Middlesbrough, Coventry City and... bizarrely... Peterborough United (whoooo?) who seemed to particularly revel in our plight.
    I know it's petty and I shouldn't tar all fans with the same brush, but c'est la vie... the quicker karma comes back to bite them the better.

    darren22 reacted to Day in David McGoldrick - joined Notts County   
    Completely understand the feeling of disappointment with McGoldrick leaving.
    Can't completely understand the frustration with the club.
    In terms of that departure, I'm not sure what we could have expected the club to do in that situation? 
    The player has dropped a level, even took a pay cut to join Notts County, whilst our rivals may see that as some kind of embarrassment, they are clearly ignoring minor details such as seeing out his career at the club he supports.
    Absolutely no embarrassment or shame in that transfer, in fact it's refreshing to see whilst the superstars of the game are chasing that Saudi money.
    You can't help but wish him all the best and hope he has that fairy tale end to his career.
    In terms of our own transfer activity or lack of so far, even if we were to sign 10 players today, our first pre season friendly is 5 weeks away.
    We're not on the eve of the first game with no pre season training with the new players.
    If you want to fully believe every single transfer rumour, that's more on you than the club itself, if you have been a football fan for any length of time during this social media era, you should know how it all works.
    I personally wasn't expecting much if anything until the end of the month at the earliest. The transfer window itself doesn't even officially open until Wednesday.
    I thought the forum would be also be pretty quiet without the drama.
    Anyhow, McGoldrick, you won't be reading this but once again, thanks for everything, wish you all the best at Notts County, hope it works out for you and you can help lift them into League 1.

    This is why democracy struggles - the world is full of idiots. 

    However people like Mourinho and Klippety Klopp and Pep should be hit hard and their clubs hit hard - points not pounds. I really don’t think they understand the consequences of their actions on grassroots football and refs doing it for £22. I would also make Klopp and the like referee matches on the racecourse or Forest fields or whatever the scouse equivalent is for a full season of Sunday football - if it clashes with one of their games, so be it. I would also make their family referee games in these environments - see if they like their wives/children being subject to abuse like this. 
     
    At the end of the day, we have had s*** refs all season-you give them stick on the pitch but then the game is over and you moan in the pub or on places like this - not in car parks or airports.

    One of reasons I don’t post much is the board not banning other clubs posters just winding people up. and let’s be honest a lot of our so called poster need to look in the mirror and say my personal opinions are just that . would any of them relish being manager and reading crap some write on here fact is our seasons over get over it move on and up. remember the days we thought we were going out of existence.

I’m not a royalist or anti-royal really (prefer to ignore them most of the time), so no I won’t be swearing - or at least not swearing allegiance - though I’m may struggle not to swear at Harry and Andy - a right pair of “total ossers”

    Football is being destroyed, I have NEVER left a game before the final whistle and I’ve been going to watch derby many many years , time was the last ten minutes of games was the best bit more often than not , you know what ? I would rather see us going all out in a blood and thunder finish and losing a goal on the break than this shxt, it’s week in week out and it has to be stopped no matter who is doing it and yes I mean us too , if a player stays down long enough to stop the game then he is off for ten minutes before he can return, that simple rule change ends it , I am sick to death of nail biting exciting games being destroyed , gripe over
    great crowd , players gave it all and that’s all I ask for ducking love derby

    As usual I would implore you all to maintain a candle light vigil for those brave warriors who risked their lives for Portsmouth today. One poor soul had such a bad head injury that he immediately jumped up in confusion when the referee didn’t stop the game. I am sure I speak for us all when I wish the Portsmouth fans praying outside the Royal tonight all the best and hope that a crowdfunding page is set up soon for the families of those players so horrifically disfigured in what can only be described as a blood path. No one should witness such injuries and I hope all the youngsters who had to see it recover. 
     
    I am sick of watching this embarrassing s***.

    darren22 reacted to Day in DCFC Quiz Night @ Pride Park in support of the Motor Neurone Disease Association   
    Event organiser Peter Mills is an East Stand season ticket holder and secretary of MNDA (Gloucestershire) branch. He is still close friends with his former John Port School mate Martin Kelly who was first diagnosed with MND in 2017. This cruel and debilitating terminal illness currently has no treatment or cure. However, the search for a cure has accelerated thanks to recent high-profile fundraising efforts from leading sportsmen such as Kevin Sinfield, Rob Burrow and Doddie Weir who once said “MND is not incurable, just underfunded”.
    Having observed at close hand the devastating  progress of the disease; Peter says “My old schoolmate Martin was diagnosed with MND at age 59. It’s heart-breaking to see but he battles on with dignity and good humour.  Everyone attending the Rams quiz night will be raising funds to support people living with this dreadful illness and the search for better treatment and a cure." The evening will honour all Rams fans past and present with MND.
    Update 30/04/2023:
    We are anticipating having a table of ex-players taking part. Roger Davies (who will be asking some of the questions) and Steve Powell are already confirmed. 
    In response to feedback, in addition to being able to enrol a team for £30, we are now offering individual places @£8 per head. Just sign up and we will make up teams from the applications.
    To sign up email peter.millsdcfc@gmail.com 
    Please help to promote the event by retweeting the pinned tweet @millsdcfc 
    Thanks everyone

    darren22 reacted to Steve Buckley’s Dog in Very sad news   
    No, I’m sorry - it’s cheating and I am sick of watching it. Eddie Howe’s Burnley team stood out as despicable cheats but now we see it every week. Players holding their heads so the ref stops the game only to have the physio look at their foot, two players simultaneously needing treatment for no reason, players crawling on to the pitch to get treatment and the weak refs that let them get away with it, shoe laces needing tying, players with cramp, players getting cramp whilst aiding other players with cramp, goalkeepers told to feign injury whilst there is an impromptu team talk and re-organisation - it’s cheating. What makes it worse are the s*** refs who happily let it happen. If you want treatment and you are on the touch line having just crawled on to the pitch, crawl off it again. I’m sick and tired of watching it and this year has been far worse than anything I can ever remember.

    darren22 reacted to Comrade 86 in Craig Forsyth - served 10 years   
    The man's an absolute warrior. For many, a single ligament injury can signal the end of a career but to to fully recover from three ACLs is truly remarkable. I can't fathom how anyone could endure that amount of physical rehab of the deeply unpleasant kind just to play football, but Fozzy has done it quietly and without fuss. Not only that, but here he is with 10 years under his belt, still churning out MOTM level performances almost weekly.
    As @spondon_ram suggests, a testimonial is very much in order, though David Clowes might easily be forgiven for having more pressing concerns in during this particular season. I'm certain though that the owners will do something for him when the opportunity presents and equally sure the fans will turn out in droves to show their support and admiration when they do. I also think that should he wish to, he'd make a great coach and mentor for our younger lads when his career as a player is finally over.

    darren22 reacted to duncanjwitham in The FBI have got the Kirch!   
    You have to understand that the *only* thing the EFL (as a governing body) care about, is preserving their own cushy little existence.  They don't care about protecting football itself, or football clubs, or looking after fans interests, or doing the "right" thing.  They just want to carry on in their own little bubble, taking the path of least resistance through everything, where nobody else bothers them. 
    It explains why they were happy to let Mel Morris do whatever he wanted, up until someone else moaned and they had to deal with it.  It explains why they are suddenly pretending they were onto Kirchner all along, rather than look bad for allowing an obviously dodgy guy to pass their little owners test.   It explains why they buried their heads over the 'Boro/Wycombe claims rather than make a decision that might come back to bite them down the line. And so on, and so on, and so on.

    In an ideal world we should be. However every one of their fans that took delight in our predicament deserves to feel the anquish we went through and have their noses rubbed in it.
    Having said that, two wrongs don't make a right so I do have empathy for the genuine Brum fans but the partying scumbags deserve to suffer.

    It's a pity that the highlights also didn't show Dobbin's 'tekkers' move on the touchline that left the Morecambe RB looking in the wrong direction. He had the poor guy on toast yesterday and deserved a goal. If he starts scoring too, we'll walk into 2nd place.
