What did you think?

We're 6 episodes in, and I think it's effing brilliant.

Other than finally finding The Sopranos, It may be the best thing I've watched all year.

Loved it, just started season 2 over Christmas. 

Meeting friends for a beer or two Christmas Eve

Kids opening their pressies Christmas morning

A couple of pints in the pub before Christmas Dinner about 3pm

Watch the Rams on Boxing Day

I travelled with the west country Rams branch when I lived in Worcester for 10 years. I remember a chap called Justin? I think it was from Cheltenham. Remember the trip to see Derby beat forest. Carbonari. 1-0. Great day out. 

He's still secretary i believe

Leave the world behind (Netflix). 
A new disaster thriller about a group of people living through general weirdness and possible apocalypse. 
 

Seriously marmite reviews on IMDb. Definite love or hate response to this one due to the lack of spoonfeeding the plot, as far as I can make out. It lets you draw your own conclusions and many people seem to hate that.  
I was in the former group. This one will stay with me I think. 
 

8.5/10 and the best film I’ve seen this year. 

I'm at the other end of the spectrum, i'm afraid.  Absolute tosh, watched it with the wife and both think it was a waste of over two hours.  Expected better from the cast but i must need spoonfeeding i guess 😁

It was a great cup tie , 6 goals in the 1st half and Villa missed a penalty, The Rams gave it everything in the 2nd half but sadly just came up short, think Villa went down to 10 men

Kubicki was sent off for second yellow.  I have the game on VHS somewhere!

It would be good to meet up and possibly travel up for a match together.  I lost my wife earlier this year, and although not a football fan herself, she still made the odd journey with me to keep me company. For that reasons, I would really like to meet up and have some company when i come up. Travelling alone is not all that its made out to be. I watch and hope. COYR

Have you ever been in touch with the West Country branch of the Supporters Club?  They run transport to all home games, starting around Cheltenham with various pick up points.  I can put you in touch with one of the guys if interested.

The Sky documentary on Lockerbie is brilliant.

Tragic story of the crash itself in episode one followed by the story of who was responsible and how the warnings were missed/ covered up.

Gripping TV.

It's a very good watch.

Found it on my firestick.  Finished season one last night, excellent stuff.  Cannot wait to get into season 2 now

Just finished all 8...excellent viewing 👏

Just episode 8 to do tonight, then have to find season 2

I'm into this too. 4 episodes in. Building nicely.

I'm on 7 now, really enjoying it.  Need to find season 2 though, i don't think its on iplayer yet.

Kin on BBC/iplayer.  Irish criminal family at war with other criminal gang.  2 episodes in, looks promising.

"The Detectives" (BBC, available via iPlayer). 3 episodes. A distressing violent crime in Rochdale leads local detectives into an operation aimed at taking down a drug-dealing OCG. 

I found it a fascinating, but ultimately depressing, journey through our broken justice system.

Was a brilliant watch.

Disagree massively regarding football being dire. If his football was dire, words can't describe how bad Warne's is. Money wise at Hull, he's spent slightly more than average sure, but not extortionate amounts, plus they'll make a profit on Philogene easily.

mmm, i remember Lincoln and Shrewsbury in particular, made Warne's team look like Barcelona

No shocks here, great manager and still young. Clowes made a huge mistake getting rid.

Remains to be seen.  Spent a fair amount of money at Hull and some of the football at Derby was dire, especially away from home.  Not saying he won't be a good manager but it's too early to say.

Enjoyed the second series of Time on BBC although at only three episodes it seemed a little short.  Outstanding performance by Bella Ramsey as a young inmate.  Well worth a watch.

Where do they get this crap from 😁

Looking back at the replays this morning, was it given for Waghorn being offside when Barkhuizen crossed it to him to head back across goal to NML who was onside to head in?

Not clear from the RamsTV footage as doesn't show the moment the cross went in with Waghorn in the same picture, but in the build up to the cross Waghorn was further forward than the last defender, but he may have held back to be onside. 

The linesman pointed his flag downwards which indicates the offside was on his side of the pitch ie Mendes Lang rather than Waggy.

Top Boy final season.

Two decades late getting into the brilliant The Sopranos meant we're a tad late getting into this.

But, (top) boy was it worth the wait:

Colin Todd/10.

It may be my favourite British drama of all time.

Totally unapologetic with breathtakingly realistic dialogue (we watched the last two episodes with subtitles on and then still had to look up some words), and brilliantly paced. Sparkling script

Fabulous acting and plotlines that have no reason to be there other than life is like that, weird.

Unlike Succession and Gomorrah, the ending didn't disappoint either.

I cannot believe that going back into The Sopranos seems a bit anti-climactic.

Just finished this morning, wow, what a brilliant last season.  Some terrific acting and great characters made it sooooooo real.  Gonna miss it that's for sure.  Loved the ending too which is normally a big let down.

Clough and Taylor/10 for me.  Now up there with Gomorrah as my all time faves.

Sadly, when you go to watch Derby away, you have more chance of being verbally abused or assaulted by your own fans than by the opposition fans.

 

A very sad state of affairs.  My lad loves our occasional away day and would like to go more often but I'm not sure I can be bothered with the hassle any more.

Anyone watched it?

Nothing overly revealing other than he's a clean freak and that affair, which there was no denial or confession, leaves you in no doubt he is guilty.

It's kinda interesting though, the insight and contains a lot of private footage, which he admits on Stick to Football on YouTube had planned to do a long time ago, hence the footage.

A lot of old teammates/managers feature to give him glowing references as you would expect.

4 episodes, around 4 hours long if you have nowt to watch it's worth a go.

4 being the number it also took in years to sign Messi at Inter Miami.

 

Not yet, but will probably give it a go.

It's interesting, because I was in the middle of the stand nearer the halfway line. We enjoyed a great atmosphere, lots of away regulars and it felt like we were amongst friends. We had to stand of course, but I'm lucky that I still can.

It was only after the game that we found out what had been going on elsewhere. 

I have brought the matter up at SCG several times and there's little that the Club can do about it. They can't advertise seating areas for people who want it because technically we should all be seated. It's so frustrating! 

Although I am no longer in a position to go to away games regularly, i have heard several accounts of issues at away matches these days, linked to standing as well as a large number of fans having too much drink and god knows what else.  Sadly, I'm not sure the club are in a position to do much about it, i imagine seat numbers are rarely matched up to the ticket holder and so many tickets are changing hands on social media that it would be impossible to prove any guilt unless the offenders are actually arrested for something.  It is a real problem and one which the SCG should continue to lobby for a solution.  I am sure Mr Clowes would be sympathetic but finding a solution could be very difficult.  When I was travelling away regularly in the 80's and 90's we didn't have such issues, unfortunately those days are gone.  Whilst i do still enjoy the occasional away game when I can get tickets, I have felt a little uncomfortable taking my 13 year old lad which is a great shame.

Just to let you know those lads who the Club seem to love videoing were standing in front of our disabled supporters all game, preventing them from seeing or enjoying any part of the game.

Well that's nowt to do with me but did anyone tell the stewards, there were plenty of them around.

So I just learned that Cheltenham’s result yesterday against Fleetwood means they equal a record for 11 consecutive games without scoring!

Guess who they play next to break the record? Us.

I’d put money on them scoring a goal. I can absolutely guarantee, when you need to break a streak, play Derby.

It always sticks in my head when Crystal Palace hadn’t won a home game all season, and then we played then at Selhurst in march or something, dead close to the end of the season, and lo and behold they beat us. In my head derby have always had this reputation since then.

But anyway, Cheltenham’s record is pretty tragic. You’d think if they’d ever have a chance of scoring a goal, it would be at home against the team second bottom. Instead they lose 2-0! They just be wondering if they’ll ever score again. 

I was at Palace for that game.  Biggest foregone conclusion ever and I never put a bet on!
