The bit that makes me blink, is D.C retelling the story of how he got the nod on a London business trip, him and wife welling up in tears on the tube; yep we’ve all been there, it’s that realisation of a special moment just happened, that causes full grown men to blink hard, as something is in their eyes. Great reminder @BuckoBeast

As an aside, got a friend who’s an Iron fan, they have had some serious off field financial issues, couldn’t pay players, staring down the barrel of losing their ground and a past owner that seemingly made false promises. They have finally stabilised after putting their true fans through the mill. Think they suffered enough. (Btw on the field a certain J.Butterfield is captain these days)

Thankfully ours will be, it’s all going to be immaterial come Saturday 🐑

This is Percy openly acknowledging his loyalties and true colours with regards ourselves. When we as supporters were going through a tough time, he wasn’t so supportive defending our plight, he’s in the same bracket as that over rated accountant; nice to see Percy is feeling it here. Hope he gets pelters from all angles, his credibility will slip the more he pins his colours to the Forest charade playing out.

All these penalties not being given, it’s like a conspiracy, nobody likes them, maybe it’s linked to them not being deducted enough points, it’s just heartbreaking to watch…… and try not to laugh

That’s my mood and intentions Utch, first time I can take my kids and do what me and my old man have done a few times. You don’t forget these memories , no matter how much alocihol 🍻

Agree with this but There’s been a few threads over the past few years and whether it’s poking fun I know you’ve called them tinpot. Thing is for many, until recently they were like a 2nd team to many Rams fans south of Derby. Why? Because they were non league and for many a year their rivals were Gresley Rovers until Tamworth tried stepping up. Anyhow, that’s the background for why when Derby were away or not playing, their numbers would increase with genuine Derby fans, with nothing better to do . What changed was them gaining league status, a couple of quick promotions and us meandering around the 2nd tier too long; seriously Burton shouldn’t be our rivals, they’ve punched above their weight and they had a few youngsters latch on, rather than go to the bigger midlands clubs like us, Villa, Leicester even Stoke or the Gumps. So much so the kids have largely tried to get under our skins, claim they’re better than us and generally big themselves up as equal rivals, if not better in their eyes. For that last reason and my kids had to yawn through their jibes at schools in Burton, I’m with you all the way @David 👍😂 (though I think they might scrape up)

Malcolm Christie has just summed it all up, hates the 2bd half, better team would have made us pay but…. WE ARE GOING UP!!!

Anyone know how Bolton are doing?

Team just toying with fans nerves, it’s going to be ok.

That was before FFP became some form of a reality in the Greeks LaLa land world. If the back door to friends and family clubs was truly closed, they would probably need an even bigger hike! No coincidence this huge hike is it? Looking at the BBC article though, it seems very ad hoc around the ground, with no price band consistency. It’s almost like they don’t care about their fans; take it or leave us.

The bookies know, time to believe and be confident, Bolton will be floored by tonight too.

My pick of those quotes is Jesse being active on social media! Wonder if he’s treating them to some Tik tok moves, with contorted hand gestures to show how cool he is? 🙄

Got to be one of the lamest away games of the season and the almost kamikaze end summed it up; disjointed, no cutting edge when chances came but ultimately they were just underwhelming. Head scratcher when we had above a week to plan for this game.

Yep, that’s all it needed. Team putting us fans through the wringer but just got to take a chance 2nd half. C’mon Pep give them an err pep talk. We can win this.
