I took one for the team.

B4’s Sisters matchday record.
Played 6, Won 5, Drawn 1, Goals For 13, Goals Against 3
 
…………….……think someone somewhere is pulling a few strings! 👍🐏

Comfortable 3-1 win in the end, we weren’t quite at it first half but were the better side and would have deserved a 1-0 lead…but for Ward’s rush of blood. Credit to Warne for bringing Wilson on, he made a big difference after the team started the second half slowly, goal and an assist probably make him man of the match ahead of the rock solid Nelson and blocking machine Cashin.
2 lovely goals either side of Wilson’s deft flick. Minutes for Elder, Thompson, TJJ is another plus. 
Up to third, one point off second (2 if Bolton win on Sat), 6 wins and a draw in the last 7….it’s not bad going really for me. 🐏 

Find it strange that nothing on the official site about his departure..?
I’m sorry for Red Dawn, it’s his club end of the day and contributes on the forum respectfully, so I’ll spare a thought.
A shame when the fans have such a strong connection with the manager and they leave. When was the last time that happened to us?
Jim Smith??

First things first this not a scam. Long time member - used to be a moderator - drifted away now slowly getting drawn back in.
In a story too long to tell I have a spare YL (youth Large?) away shirt (blue and black check)
Should fit an 8/9 year old.
anybody want it DM me - I should be at the game on Thursday if not I could arrange postage.
 
just thought there might be someone on here who could do with a little goodwill this time of year.
 
 

Has no one said it yet?  Okay then...
Tell them £25m with 20% add on.

I'm glad it went as well as these things can go.
Often, it's the quieter days after the funeral that can be the most difficult. Now that everything is settling down.
Remember Claire, you have a Rams family who will always be here for you now.
Please pass on our best wishes aswell to your parents and all those close to Daniel.

Thank you to everyone who was able to attend the funeral, give a final clap, or held Daniel in your thoughts today. It was a send off he would have been proud of. I could picture what his reactions would have been the day. He would definitely have approved, particularly of the buffet 😄

Such an emotional service, the place was packed out, standing room only and a fitting tribute to Daniel's all-too-short life. 
Your poem had everyone in tears @Mucker1884
Most people have been in club colours, with many scraves on show.
We are back at Pride Park now.

Made it over myself as well, very fitting tribute to a great man 🐏 
 

One of the most disjointed games I've ever seen in the 1st half. As well as the stop/start that suits Wycombe we also failed to find teammates with our passes. 2nd half was better but that wasn't a hard ask.

I wasn't surprised that one of the 3 MFs was subbed at HT as all 3 had been booked. Surprised it was Sibs as, IMO, he was not the worst of the 3.

That neither side had a shot on target in the first half wasn't a surprise considering the woeful performance of both sides.

The cards? NML and Hourihane both lost control of the ball and dived in to try to retrieve it, catching an opponent with their studs. Correct yellow. Bird pulled their player back to prevent him launching an attack. Yellow. Sibley, half hearted "shot" 10 yards over the ball, an age after the whistle. Following the ref's instructions from the start of the season, yellow. Personally I would have had a word and told him a repeat would see a card. She was, however, consistent when Vokes did similar in the 2nd half she carded him as well. Collo and Leahy. That all started when Leahy went down under a nothing challenge from Sibs. Leahy made far too much of it. Collo pulled him to his feet and told him, to basically, man up. That resulted in a handbags spat. Another one where a quiet word might have been sufficient under normal circumstances but, at that point, several players were getting "tasty" and the cards were likely designed to quieten things down.

The penalty given. I wish causality was still in the wording. As the Laws are currently worded, just about any contact whatsoever is deemed sufficient to award a foul. IMO, there was insufficient in Ward's contact to warrant their player going down. As it is, Welch can't be criticised for giving the penalty under the current Law.

The not given penalty. IIRC, 64 minutes, the ball comes in and Cash goes to head home. A Wycombe defender has the front of Cash's shirt in his left hand in attempt to make it hard/impossible to get a good header in and his right arm is round Cash's back, further hampering his attempt to score. Penalty. Pure and simple. Not given. The one big decision she got wrong, IMO.
The penalty shout from NML? The man played the ball. NML's run took him into the path of the slide through. Not a penalty. Another one the ref got right.
The equaliser? It was obvious what Wycombe were going to do. They loaded up their left hand side up top, we had 6 defenders lined up on their right... Wheeler went down, IMO, way too easily and the ref gave the penalty.

On another medium she was slated for her performance by most fans. Three didn't agree, saying she had a good game. Two other refs and yours truly. Her refereeing was much better than the standard of play displayed by either side.
Not a patch on recent DCFC performances. Wycombe came with a plan and it worked as it often does against us. I can't really complain at a draw. In fact, I'd call it a game neither side deserved to win.
 

She's fine she told them to f*** off 😂😂

Just catching up from yesterday in the match thread and here.
Quite clear we are still some way from acceptance of women in the men's game.
Be it studio or on the pitch with a flag or whistle.
Had it been a male ref yesterday, wouldn't be nearly as many posts commenting on the performance.
Females should be able to be criticised in the same way males are, however until the sexist undertones are eradicated, it's hard to be critical without being thrown into the sexist box that has the old school mentality that men's game should be just men.
It will be another decade or two before we see any progress with general acceptance.

This awful incident puts all the other things in football into perspective , wishing Tom Lockyer all the very best for his career and his future

i was referring to female specific comments

Retuning Ram, completely agree with you re the physio comment, same near me, just ignorance,, maybe those calling for her head can explain to me which booking was wrong , which penalty was wrong, she kept up with play unlike most of the males we get here. I wish her well, but she was not to blame for our appalling inability to see a game out yet again which is why Warne had no complaints about her because he knows where the blame lies 

Got literally nothing to do with her being a female. She had refereed us before today and was one of the best we’ve had. No excuse for her poor display today, there’s no sugar coating that, but her gender is irrelevant. 

Rubbish.
She got every major call right.
Warne had no arguments with the bookings or penalty.
She could have been tougher on their time wasting and general shithousery, but every booking was correct, as was the penalty.Hourihane could have had a red.
 

At least the sunset was worth watching 🤣

On the plus side, I took this lovely photo at the game. #nofilter 

From where I sat, in my opinion the referee and officials got every single decision spot on.
We got what we deserved - a point.

Stupid ref, enforcing the rules of the game. Who does she think she is.
1 min added. They've taken 2 minutes every time they've had a set piece. That's her worse decision yet.

Or the ladies?

Good luck in your recovery Tamworth ram hope all went well. But in the spirit of B4, you can’t support the mighty rams lying in bed, get up , take a paracetamol and run it off and you’ll be in Pride Park in no time at all!
