Trust me, if we are around bottom 4 or 5 it will be well before Xmas that the negatives start!

My Dad was a big fan of Westerns and for my entire childhood I was convinced that a simple safe way of rendering someone unconscious was to smash a bottle over their head ! A simple tap on the head and they always obligingly explode into a million safe non-sharp fragments and the guy in the black hat just lay down for a bit. It was on the way to a football match where I saw someone hit by a bottle and there was blood everywhere and the bottle showed no sign of breaking 🤔

I like reading most of your posts, but your first paragraph today is really poor.
2 games to go and promotion in our hands and it still feels like so many of our 'supporters' have personal axes to grind.
Very sad times and I'm not sure some of our fans actually deserve the promotion that we may achieve. 

Was Going Home by Mark Knopfler used as a theme to a footy programme?  I seem to recall it was when they first started showing top flight live football regularly?  Love that piece of music.

If it was that game, i was there too!

Mark had a testimonial at Eastwood, their dad played for them as well. 
Mark played regularly for Derby reserves for Roy Mac and said that Arthur Cox told him he would have signed him if he was younger.

Didn’t have a car growing up but my uncle did. One night he took me for a drive and I got to sit in the front seat. When we went down unlit roads he showed me how he could turn the cats eyes on and off! I was dead impressed but also slightly bemused how this would affect other drivers. Took me many years to work out what was happening 🙄

Dijon Brown?!? 😂
Is it because he's mustard?

If you pull a face and the wind changes direction you'll stay like it.  

DOH, my bad 😁

Some Carlisle tickets available again on website

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. 

Think Warnes had a stinker there and 2 points dropped. They didn't look like doing anything that second half. Their LB picked up an early yellow, should've pulled Collins for Wash and him and NML go at them down that wing. Sat back, left Collo on too long and inevitably they score.

Better and Coma are both okay, not brilliant but both watchable.  I am thinking of starting The Cleaning Lady as I have just finished Love/Hate, unfortunately I think most things will be a disappointment after such a great series.

Less than 200 left for Carlisle by my reckoning.

We all have to start somewhere, my first away game was a 4.0 defeat at Villa, but this season must be my highest count of away wins

Taking my lad to this one who has never seen us win away.  Oh Lord, what have i done 😩

FFS Wildsmith that out injured now, pulled his back carrying some bobble-hatted lunatic after the match 😛
 
 

Here you go Crewton…..your personalised VAR. You are correct, the line of the penalty box runs at 25 degrees across this photo…..so tracking the same straight line - you can see the defender on the far side is playing Dwight on - if only be his upper torso - Sonny is probably in line with the defender. 
Anyway I’ve geeked myself out now - so going to lie down for a while! 🐏

Warne did mention this in his interview, i expect they will be working on it this week

Morning all
Been a while since anything like this has been attempted and with a sell out expected its now time to turn it on and do our part. 
Its been on the socials so spreading the word on here. 
So bring your scarves and your flags. Lets make it a sea of black and white come Saturday. There will be some new flags being surfed in the South Stand and the plan is to get some of the bigger flags on poles in there as well.
Really is over to us now to make a difference so voices required from all stands as well in what is a huge game.

My apologies, all the bookies revert to next goalscorer, i assumed the same would apply.
