Thousands of fans running over the pitch might do damage to the playing surface. Actually, now I think about it, it would probably improve it.

But I'm guessing its still okay to get naked?

That would be the ladies, obviously 🥸

Pompey fans assaulted a Barnsley player on the pitch and some pubs were looted on the night in Southsea, hopefully if we do get to celebrate we do it in style and not like idiots . 

Oh no, does this mean I'll not be able to watch live games now?
Very Probably Not.

Not be long before every man and his dog are on the dodgy sticks. 
 
Sky, the premier league and the EFL could see illegal streaming as a symptom of what they have created and try to proactively meet fans halfway and come up with a solution that doesn’t harm the pyramid but allows for clubs to still stream. 
 
Instead they treat illegal streaming as a problem in its own right. 
 
An example of an idea which will have its obvious flaws but gets a conversation started:
Clubs can stream to fans who have a paid membership. This membership allows fans access to purchasing the stream for a match. 

Membership fees go into a pool to be redistributed across the football pyramid.
 
Clubs earn their revenue from the sale of the stream not the membership. 

Is that 2 or 3 trips, with return tickets? I'm paying £20 a month to watch the games over here in Spain. At a 5er I'd be better going over to watch a few games.

This is not a step forward at all, it stifles competition and turns it into a closed shop for the benefit of Sky. Shame on the EFL for signing such a deal. and shame on the clubs for agreeing to it also.
I will continue to subscribe to Rams TV, my overseas trips currently cost me £5 per month 🙂 Will sky be showing all matches live like Rams TV does? I doubt it! I won't give my money to Sky TV on principle.
All fans should boycott Sky TV, they are destroying football in my opinion.

He’s just too good to be true

There is a problem with sleep as you get older.
When I was younger I used take a nap now am older the nap takes me, I often wake up at the end of a film and wonder what happened to the middle bit of the film.😂😂
I have never fallen asleep during a Derby match there’s always too much drama .
i just want two more wins for the Rams with as little drama as possible and I will be happy Ram 🐏 
 

So Adult - 10+ years - Corner = £405.60 for this "Phase 1" period. (*There's no mention of any birds, early or otherwise, I notice!)
Looks like I paid £345.80 for this season, so +£59.80 (17.3%)
As others have said, it's been a while! 
And at 23No games per season, this new improved (👀) price equates to £17.63 per game.  Just about VFM, even for this dirty, disgusting, mind-numbing level of inadequacy!  🤣   
 
...And it's not like I spend a fortune/feel obliged to buy rip-off replica shirts, like some do.
 
Ergo... I'm gonna refrain from moaning, and will renew,  whether that be next week or the day before the deadline. (Decisions, decisions!)

EDIT:
I could of course negate this year's increase by moving to the other side of the stairs, which I assume would be enough to take me from "Corner" to "Behind the goal".  I'm happy where I am, so maybe next year!  

I've already renewed my ST because no matter what division they may play in, and yes, I moan and have a go at the players from time-to-time, I've always supported my club - Derby County F.C.
Yes, I can afford to have a ST and I understand others cannot pay out such a sum, especially with other commitments and cost of living issues, however, it doesn't matter if you only go and watch 5 or 10 matches a season, you are still a Rams fan as far as I'm concerned and whatever support you give the club, it matters.
Championship or League 1 again, always support your club.
 

I still think we'll win because we've got the better players and Orient don't have a lot to play for now, but dropping a winger and striker for a centre back and centre mid after we've just failed to score against Wycombe seems a strange choice. And it feels quite harsh on CBT .... Sonny lets the team down and comes straight back in as soon as his suspension is up, but CBT is dropped after his mistake.

Cross should have come earlier and been played on the ground.
CBT should still do better.
Takes an extra touch here when the ball should be played.

Was at the game last night , left the ground a very proud Ram , thought the lads gave us everything, big shout out for Korey Smith , he’s got back in the side and his application and tenacity has been first class a very underrated player imo

Hi, Pompey supporter with our take on lasts nights game. I think the weather made the game less of a spectacular affair but the players, from both teams, put on a really good display. I thought Derby adapted to the conditions better than Pompey where the conditions negated the effectiveness of our wingers Lane and, especially, Kamara. I suppose you could say the same for Blackett-Taylor & Mendez-Lang, both players I would have liked Pompey to have signed. I think Derby quite possibly had the greater attacking threat on the counter in the first half whereas ours was a little laboured due to not being able to adapt to the conditions. I read with interest of the disagreement with your managers choice of the tactics in the second half. However, without a wonder goal he may well have got it right. Closing players down in those conditions was risky as slipping on the surface could let players in. Portsmouth usually play a closing down game but not so much last night. I think overall a draw was a fair result last night which probably benefits us more than your lot. 
I think the controversial situations were fairly evenly spread out. There was a handball leading up to our equaliser and I think VAR might have ruled out our first goal. Handling the ball by the keeper is a sending off offence normally but I think the ref got it right by allowing for the conditions. I don't think it was a 'nailed on penalty' because I think our player was looking to go down anyway, but on another day it could be given.
I thought it was a proper game of football from two famous old clubs. It was good to see the ground full with a decent away following that made themselves heard, which is normally difficult at Fratton Park. The game, allowing for the conditions, was a good advert for League One where both teams look ready for the Championship. 

It’s unreal how dismissive you are of the club and team you claim to support.
Current top 6 are Portsmouth, Bolton, Barnsley, Peterborough, Lincoln and us. 

Against Portsmouth this season we drew home (1-1) and away (2-2).
Against Bolton we lost away (2-1) and won at home (1-0).
Against Barnsley we won at home (3-0) and lost away (2-1)

Against Peterborough we won away (2-4) and lost at home (2-3)
Against Lincoln we won at home (3-1) and drew away (0-0)
As you mentioned Stevenage I’ll include them and Oxford too as they were in and around the play off positions most of the season;
Against Stevenage we lost away (3-1) and won at home (1-0)
Against Oxford we lost at home (1-2) and won away (2-3)
To me my original point stands that this season we’ve done better against the teams around us than we did last season, I can’t be bothered looking for the stats but if I remember correctly one of the big criticisms last year from certain quarters was that we didn’t compete well enough with the teams around us. This year I think we have, the results back that up, the fact we are second in the table with 4 games to go backs that up, the fact we’re one of the best scoring teams in the league and the best defences backs that up….. so I’ll carry on being a happy and optimistic little ram while you…. Do whatever it is you do 🤷🏻‍♂️ 

Shocking from Paul Warne today, did nothing to stop Bolton getting three points at Bristol's big team.

I was at Pompey the other night. Still buzzing from it; pure theatre. My lasting memory though will be the support in the Away end. Got to my seat 10 minutes pre-ko & the Rams were in full voice with a new song that was mesmerising & unusually had zero references to penises. The singing never stopped for the 98 minute duration and it was at times transcendental. Or summat. Made me feel very proud of Derbyshire. Hope we can keep that up in the last 4 fixtures. We really need those flanges…almost like @B4ev6is is conducting events - because it’ll be a fantastic day if we do the …<fill in the blanks>. 

I think we'd be entering into rallying cry territory as we head into the final four games. He'd be bloody loving it.

Would be lovely. I think Bird maybe, but I think Dwight will struggle and with Collo back in the fold, I'd be tempted to Gayle more time. I am wondering though whether he might be someone we look to secure for next season. On what I've seen of him, he still has the quality to be effective at Championship level and he seems to have taken to the club and vice versa. 

Really don’t know if this helps ( probably not ) , but how it is for me ,
with a devastating loss I kind went with the well trodden phrase that it gets easier with time ,,, it didn’t / doesn’t and I came to the conclusion you learn to survive it , anniversary s are hard but I allow myself to feel the way they make you feel ( not sure you could stop it anyway ) , there’s also something a bit freeing and needed about those times where I can open the box and just be with the stuff that I probably wouldn’t survive if it was running round my head all the time,
not really sure I explain it properly 🤷🏻‍♂️

Probably not the right place, as I ain't depressed in the true sense...
But I am more than a little down at present, and have also just realised I likely won't be feeling the buzz next matchday, as we'll be waving off my Father in Law earlier on Wednesday afternoon at Bramcote Crem, before drinking to his memory over in Ilson (In a back street pub on the actual street where he was born in 1931, and in the heart of the area he spent his entire 92.8 years!  I like that... a lot!)
Guess it will just have to be one of those occasions where football takes a firm second place to things more important!
I'll be back on it Thursday, and raring to go for the final push!  🍻
