    VulcanRam got a reaction from Hector was the best in 3 in a row on Sky TV   
    Good news. The Peterborough game is still on at 3pm so it won't affect ST holders or anyone who was already going. 
    Fleetwood away only a tiny percentage of our fans go, so now many more can watch.
    Burton on a Monday night, granted, is a pain for anyone not local. Kills the atmosphere as well.
    On the upside, money into the club is all good. And as @CBRammette actually a lot more disruption and rearrangement is being caused by (in my opinion needless) international breaks, nothing to do with broadcasters, so your ire may be better aimed at the FA.

    To be honest, seeing as you put it like that, just getting to 11 points was an achievement.

    VulcanRam got a reaction from Sparkle in Bristol Rovers - 25 November   
    First 45 was woeful, dire and a dirge.
    Better second, got the goal, controlled the game until we switched to 5 at the back, which invited Bristol on. They undeservedly equalised, but good on Fornah and NML.

    Half-marks allowed; please rate all subs. Closes Thursday @ 18:00. Results by Thursday 22:00. Average is 6.00. Therefore, when a sub steps on the pitch he is on 6 -that'sthe baseline. Also indicate ATG (at the game) Or Tv.
    1Wildsmith 7 Terrific first half save, solid throughout, no chance with their goal
    24Nyambe 6 Solid enough, tried to get forward
    35Nelson 7 Chris Martin's still in his pocket
    6Cashin 7 Some great interceptions
    17Sibley 5.5 Defensive weak link, first half was beaten at will. Not surprisingly a bit better when moved forward.
    4Hourihane 6 Looks off the pace most of the time but kept play ticking
    7Barkhuizen 6 As often, started brightly then faded
    2Wilson 7 Injected some much needed pace and trickery
    12Smith 5 Seemed to struggle, could do with moving the ball a bit quicker.
    22Fornah 7 Brought some pace to the midfield. Excellent run for the winner.
    8Bird 6 Still flatters to deceive for me.
    5Bradley 6 Makes the crowd nervous but was solid enough, not his fault his introduction invited a lot of pressure
    11Méndez-Laing 8 Our most creative spark, another great game and two (sort of) goals.
    9Collins 7 Worked hard with very little service, looked a threat.
    10Waghorn 6 Didn't add much when he came on.

    Oh my goodness, what a response!
    Hello everyone, I’m Claire, Daniel’s (B4) sister. I am overwhelmed by your kind words, support, and the memories you have shared.  Thank you so much for the kindness and love you have all shown to Daniel over the years. My parents are working their way through all of the posts and will offer their own thanks in due course.
    I wish I knew about the scraves, flanges and ballions before now. I wouldn’t have let Daniel live that down at home. This made my husband and I laugh this morning.
    I will be wearing Daniel’s shirt and keeping his seat warm at the Bristol match. Really looking forward to hearing a big cheer and round of applause in the 38th minute, a goal at the time would be perfect!  Do please continue to share the picture with details of the applause. Let’s raise the roof for Daniel!!!
    Thank you all again ❤️

    So emotional today, hearing the applause ring out for Daniel. I was very heartened to read that both RamsTV and Radio Derby mentioned him in their commentaries. 
    Thanks, @Owen87ITK.
    If anyone has either snippet, those of us at the match would love to hear them. 
    The moon rose over East Stand this evening in his memory.
    B4 will live long in our memories. Go well, young man. 🐏⚽️🖤🤍

    Anyway, in the spirit of and in honour of B4 - that was the performance and result I've been waiting for all season to make me believe we are capable of getting promoted. I thought we were excellent.

    I didn’t  say the Northampton game was on a par with the Barnsley win. Of course it wasn’t but I also enjoyed the Northampton win (who wouldn’t enjoy a 4:0 win regardless of the atmosphere or quality of the opposition?). @Jayram said the Barnsley game was the first home game he’d enjoyed. I suspect he wasn’t able to make it to the Northampton game.

    Very sad news. Scraves and flanges will remain the greatest thing anyone has ever posted on a forum. He always made me smile with his sometimes ludicrous, sometimes unrealistic, sometimes fair but always highly passionate posts - a positivity that sometimes we could all do with a bit more of. His rallying calls were always crazy and brilliant. 
    He'll be missed and as others have said, I hope the kind words on this thread will bring some comfort to his family. Top man.

    And it's the reason I don't wear one. Fully supportive of Remembrance Day, minute silence etc but the warriors who get so upset and angry if you don't wear one annoyed me to such an extent a few years ago with their virtue signalling that I just stopped out of principle.

    Oh ok, well I got there as usual at five to, nothing happening so no problem. I know when the remembrance stuff takes place and was in place for the teams coming out and the commemorations. I hope that's ok, but if you want me to get to my seat earlier in future because it suits your agenda, do let me know.
    Sorry for the sarcasm and the bite but I can't abide this sort of preachy attitude.

    I live beside the war memorial to the merchant navy, which is effectively my front garden. We all gather there for 11am on Armistice Day, wearing our poppies. It must be a terrible thing, perhaps below deck at sea, when torpedoed and the freezing water rushing in, in the darkness. Later in the day yesterday, I had to go into the West End and I was struck that hardly anyone in London was wearing a poppy. I think it's important that the poppy, just as other symbols like the flag, are cherished by everyone, precisely so they do not become "owned" in some way by extremists. 
    I get the white poppy for peace thing, but the money from red poppies goes to the Royal British Legion which supports military veterans. My take is that service personnel are often treated appallingly and need our support. They have lived through terrible things that no one should have to, and then are expected to assimilate back into ordinary society - no wonder many have problems. Also, they are sometimes unscrupulously recruited from poorer communities where the only opportunity of social mobility and escape, is to join the services. We probably all hate the politicians who send other people's children off to fight and die in wars, but wouldn't dream of letting their own kids near any danger. But I would say, don't use that as an excuse not to buy a poppy to support those who did go.
    Yes it should never be compelled and there should never be peer pressure to make people feel they must comply, but I'm just giving some reasons why I think it's important.
