EtoileSportiveDeDerby got a reaction from Lokidoki in Derby v Shrewsbury Town - Match Day Thread
With Collins on the pitch, this is home banker, he was born offside, it would be easier for the Lino to flag when he is not offside.

I've reached the apathy stage.
When my lad came downstairs this morning, and said he didn't feel well enough to go, I was kind of relieved.
I just don't find the disruption to the day worth the time and cost invested, sadly.
It's the same old performance at home, match after match, against teams who always seem to be 16th-19th in the league when we play them!

Nothing changes.
We don't play great football. We have enough good players to win more than we lose.
Substitutions made too late. Bradley gives most people palpitations
We look good enough for top 6.
We don't look good enough to finish top 2.

Got excited when I saw the title as I thought the thread was about hot curries

There’s a wall running up to the front door. The fox jumps up and poses for the camera.
We call him Michael J.

Have you got a very low doorbell or massive fox?

I love posts like this as men seldom "out " their feelings and sometimes the feeling of belonging is the start you need.
I met Mostyn many years back via another forum (rj) and a meet up at the Brewery Tap pub along with Mucker and others, he is a top bloke and I am so glad to hear your life is now shaping up.
As a man of a certain vintage, dealing with family issues aplenty, prostate problems, retirement issues etc, I can offer some insight into many of life's traumas as I have probably already been there.
For me retirement from a busy business, proved to be far more traumatic than I had first envisaged. Wifey encouraged me to try an allotment as I have always had a keen interest in growing stuff.
At first I was dubious thinking I was just exchanging one type of work for another. Anyways on the principle "it cant hurt to try"I got my name down and eventually got my first half plot. Two years on I have 3 further plots and a group of friends with similar age and outlooks.
The improvement in my mental and physical well being is immeasurable, and whilst I doubt it would suit some people, the principal of joining in with the group of any activity can provide a focus and an outlet. We usually have coffee together around ten each day and get stuck in to all kinds of topics. Once we have put the world to rights its back to the weeding lol.
Just hope you can all enjoy your later life as much as I am, and don't be shy about meeting people, they will welcome you warmly into the group in most cases 🦍

I'm all for it. Gets a thumbs up from me.
I'd also like to participate in a 4 hour pre-match car-boot picnic/BBQ in the West Stand Car Park, and have scantily clad female purveyors of (even more) snacks and beverages parading up and down the aisles in the stands, throughout the entire 3 hour game (extended to allow for time-outs and words from sponsors).
Oh... and if we catch a matchball, we get to keep it!
Bring it on, I say.
Have a nice day.

I was at a Funeral yesterday...the wake was at Pride Park, I saw some old friends I'd not seen for 35+ years, Some I didn't recognise as age has caught up with all of us...now here's my take on the NHS
One had a peptic ulcer went into the General in Derby and on the operating table by 10pm, One was out walking and had a seizure and collapsed, Now diagnosed with Epilepsy and had his driving licence taken away, One has had a knee replacement and waiting for the other knee to be replaced, One has Parkinson's and can't stop pissing and has to take 3/4 tablets a day...and last but not least yet another funeral in a couple of weeks as an old friend died from Dementia at 66 years old 2 weeks ago 😔
The NHS was there for all of them and did a great job in trying times ☺️👍

EtoileSportiveDeDerby got a reaction from Comrade 86 in The Rugby Union Thread
I have enjoyed the Netflix documentary and been impressed by Shaun Edwards command of the French language.
“Quand le ballon est au milieu du terrain, kick the ducking thing”
There is no language tape for that I guess.

So Hammy has Hammer Time, Christian Horner has Horny Time.
Won't be getting any anytime soon, mind!
