But in this case the ref had given the free kick against Forsyth. Surrounding the referee would have been futile. He wasn’t ever going to change his mind and then give a pen to us was he 🤣

The point isn't to change his mind, it's to change his perception of things for next time by putting pressure on him.

That was an anticlimax

Much confusion about the rules, it might turn out to be 53 off one over.

The cricketeers have cheered me up somewhat.

And another, dubious shot selection from the batsman.

Horrible mistake, and a horrible way for his Derby Career to end. I’m sure he’s hurting right now

It was, and I'd have accepted if the striker had cracked it in the top corner, but he dived like a cheating Bamford giving Curtis no chance of redemption. Thanks Curtis, I'll aways remeber you like this

Wigan not paying players agin.

Southampton leading at Newcastle, makes things interesting if they hang on.

But we've done so well, better than even B4 predicted! 

I wish we could do better than all of B4's predictions.

Why won't he be leading the team out at Wembley?

Edit: I chatted with him on Wembley Way when walking along to the Villa playoff match. He was full of support for the team, despite apparently having been discarded. I would love it if he had the chance to lead out a victorious Rams team at Wembley.

I was trying to get through a four pack sitting by Wembley way that day. Curtis took two cans to get past me, he stopped and chatted to every fan who stopped him. He didn't need to but he had time for the fans.

Great miss from Bamford

I wonder how is Greek is, send him to Olympiacos to get him out the way?

I went for a drink after yesterdays game and took a nasty tumbe in Vines.

Obviously the constant pressure of ads giving you the odds and telling you how much you can win by guessing who will take the next corner when you're at home with a beer watching the game on Sky isn't the real issue ..

This bloke agrees, https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/apr/14/football-gambling-betting-shirts-ban-ads-addiction, He's claiming sight of any hoarding is seeing an advert when he says "You can see about 700 gambling ads in every Premier League game" , thats one every ten seconds or so.

Only been there 6 months, had one transfer window. 

Chris Wood and Jonjo Shelvey, yeah I can understand it 😂

Cooper was saying how beneficial he would be to their transfer business in Jan.

Am I right in thinking he also scored in a 2-2 at the City Ground, possibly same season?

Yes, well remebered. I'd forgotton about it but here it is

I missed Guest as I headed for the garden when Ali went, I'm back now but it seems like a different game with the bowlers finding something extra.

Horacio Carbonari

He never quite lived up to the hype, but I'll aways love him for this

I've promised the Mrs I'd do some gardening today but I'm enjoying the batting too much.
