When did you last visit Aston gate, I’d hardly say our ground is 10 times better. A capacity of 27,000 with two recently built new stands, one roughly the same age as our ground and one refurbished.

I didn’t realise their capacity was that high. One can only presume that they close one of the stands on match days then. 

What a fantastic win. Du Plooy was seeing it big-wonderful hitting! Derbyshire la la la…

Enjoyed my visit down this morning. Well worth an hour of your time as posted above. Thanks for putting it on 👍

Wayne Madsen. That’s all. 

Is there a chance of getting to any away games next season for us mortals or are the same people going to be going and leaving early?

People are so stupid. It’s sad. It almost certainly wouldn’t have entered their mind to go down the airport if mourinho hadn’t have berated the ref. Then he does, and suddenly they don’t have a brain cell between them, they just follow his lead. Like it’s going to do any good or make any difference other than negatively. 

It’s not disimular to people storming the American capital on Trump’s say so. Do people not have the power of independent thought any more?!

This is why democracy struggles - the world is full of idiots. 

However people like Mourinho and Klippety Klopp and Pep should be hit hard and their clubs hit hard - points not pounds. I really don’t think they understand the consequences of their actions on grassroots football and refs doing it for £22. I would also make Klopp and the like referee matches on the racecourse or Forest fields or whatever the scouse equivalent is for a full season of Sunday football - if it clashes with one of their games, so be it. I would also make their family referee games in these environments - see if they like their wives/children being subject to abuse like this. 
 

At the end of the day, we have had s*** refs all season-you give them stick on the pitch but then the game is over and you moan in the pub or on places like this - not in car parks or airports. 

Take the win. We’re just not that great are we but amongst us is a great who we are lucky to have had for so long. 🏏💯

Wayne Madsen ladies and gentlemen. What a player he is. I swear he’s getting better. Imagine how good he’ll be when he’s 60!

Having your overseas fast bowler who got 2 wickets, only bowl 3 overs wasn't great.

Thought we bowled quite well trying to defend a total that wasn't anywhere near good enough. No wickets from the spinners in the opening 3 games is a problem.

Yes, they bowled very well in the power play but after that there were a couple of poor balls an over so there was never any pressure on the batsmen. More runs do of course lead to greater pressure and more wickets. 150 was never going to be enough. What are we going to do when Madsen retires?!? 

It was a poor performance. Sliding to defeat against Northants is not great. They seemed pleased with their victory judging by the noise from the dressing room. We just don’t look like taking wickets or scoring enough runs, which is a bit of a problem in cricket.

Great news, the club are kindly allowing us to put on an event at Pride Park on the 3rd & 4th of June.

it’s the Rams Heritage Trust, it’s a chance to allow us to put on a display in a secure location over a couple of days, there will be a time line of the history and heritage of our club from 1884 to present day.

it will be open from 10.30 till 3 on Saturday and 11.15 until 3.30 on Sunday due to the Ramathon and road closures.

this will hopefully be a pre cursor to having a more permanent feature at the club.

there is so much for people to see, kits, photos, boots, balls, medals, programmes, scarves, flags, Baseball Ground seats, floodlight fixtures, flags, Alan Hintons white boots, our life size replica of the FA cup and League Championship trophy to have your photo with.

Special guests will be popping in.

come on down, give us the support we need and hopefully come and learn something about our club.

Sounds great. Which entrance are we to use, if you know.

All true - I can’t see Sheffield United spending hardly anything and similar with Burnley and there’s no chance with Coventry or Luton as they will fill their boots with the cash and not worry about being 20th - Forest will find it very hard to get relegated next season 😞

in league one we will have either Sheffield Wednesday or Barnsley to contend with plus a steady Bolton, Wigan are shooting themselves in the foot again and Reading should be trying to get rid of their high earners but they might have enough for a challenger status 

The championship May well be the best competition next season - until the points start being deducted as next season lots of clubs are in a spot of bother financially/ FFP

I wonder who will be in trouble with FFP though. One can only hope that Middlesboro aren’t amongst them as that would be a real crying shame. 

Terrible news. Not sure how you can say they were over-rated and haven’t aged well - they were outstanding and still sound wonderful today. Timeless like all good music. He was a brilliant bass player and his lines weaved wonderfully into Marr’s guitar work. Sadly missed like Martin Duffy before him. RIP

Liam Brady playing for West Ham at the BBG was pretty special. Stuck one in the top corner with a lovely shot. 

I agree with a poster above about Dean Saunders’ debut against Wimbledon. Remember the buzz when everyone was coming away - knew we had found a real player. 

I don’t recommend Montrose for a vacation. The people are quite friendly though so it’s swings and roundabouts.

I don’t understand. It says he paid a fortune for his ticket but according to you everyone got one free with a mobile phone?! To be fair it wasn’t a great season, even Lee Morris would have improved that team. I can’t recall what he was up to that season though.

Glyn Davies is injured before anyone asks. Admittedly I am not too pleased with the goalkeeper situation. 

I would sign Andy Todd, Eddie Lewis, Robert Earnshaw and Claude Davis and then go off on my holidays happy in the knowledge that I had done everything I possibly could and that absolutely nothing could go wrong.

Great news folks, the Rams Heritage Trust will be doing a two day display at Pride Park in the Harrison’s Hub, this will hopefully be a pre cursor to a museum so the more interest that we get the better.

It promises to be a huge display with a lot of rare and interesting items, not just shirts but there will of course be plenty of them.

it’s the Saturday 3rd and Sunday 4th June.

come along and have a look and maybe learn a thing or two.

 

I will try and get along to this, although you do realise that if Leeds Heritage Trust ran such an event then they would bring more. 

When that ball hit Marvin Johnson, how come he stayed on his feet? Doesn’t he normally collapse in a heap at the first sign of contact? Cheating t***.

He's got a court case next week for assaulting 2 females in town when he was drunk on a weds night in the local wetherspoons

He's already pled guilty to 1 charge, not guilty to the next

City dropped him when he got arrested and have allowed the contract to run down so they can release him. Morally the correct thing to do for a club in the community 

Perhaps not the ideal, natural replacement for Curtis Davies then!

I assume this one didn't have his responsible adult to proof read before he posted this drivel.

Anyone who doesn’t know the difference between there and their can generally be disregarded in my opinion.

Are they aware of the general concept of ‘humour’. I suspect they would misinterpret anything to feel good about themselves.

99.999999 times out 100 he/she wouldn’t 😁

I see your point but sadly not this season. Of course you all need to appeal vociferously and run up to the ref complaining before he has made a decision ideally in order to influence him. Then stand talking to him after every decision to let him know what you think. And then, from what I have seen this season, you start getting decisions!

But in this case the ref had given the free kick against Forsyth. Surrounding the referee would have been futile. He wasn’t ever going to change his mind and then give a pen to us was he 🤣

Well the ref against Port Vale did didn’t he. He hadn’t given the first penalty and awarded a goal kick, if memory serves, before being swarmed and changing his decision. Ordinarily I would agree with you but you have to take into account the sheer incompetence and weakness of the officials .
