Mimester

I’m with you on that. The ref missed stuff from both sides, was at times inconsistent but he was equally inconsistent with both teams. The only one that really got me was the GBH on Collins.
Anyway, what a day ! Canal street packed, ended up on some double yellows but got away with it. Queue to get in, some of the concourse vendors ran out of plastic Carling. PPS loud and proud. 
 
Adrenaline fuelled first 15 mins the NML burning rubber, looked like we could run riot until we got close to goal. A couple of high crosses that well positioned Collins just couldn’t quite reach. Then Knighty and NML doing wonderful overlaps and interplay. Oxford rode the storm and were getting in to it at times. They came out in the second half with their own up and at em spirit but we kept to our plan, kept playing football, class will out. The invisible for 65 mins Hourihan dropped a shoulder and buried it. Sibley started the rot with some driving runs and played provider. Cashin who was under the cosh occasionally in the first half, became imperious. Deep in to injury time, class control rather than lump, then a 1 yard pass to a white shirt. Sweet. Knight can play anywhere, know it’s not long term but my lasting memory is him and NML doing aggressive tippy tappy and quite simply looking a cut above.
Need a no 10 / AM to give runners and Collins at bit more to feed off and all will be well. 
 
Cracking competitive match, which wasn’t a walkover but we deserved to win. 

Lifted my mood no end to see us win again in a new season, in a new era. Think today is what we ought to get used to. I don't think the likes of Hourihane will be afforded the chance to boss games, it'll be a scrap and we'll need them to produce that one piece of quality in the 90 mins to make the difference. We have some good quality for this league, as long as we show as much fight as the teams playing us and don't get bullied, we should be confident our quality will win us a lot of games. Delighted for Clowes today too.

Rosenior wasn’t slow in mentioning Sibley’s contribution either, the runs in behind, stretching the opposition in the first few minutes after coming on.
He did exactly what was required and battled well, let’s hope this is his year. It was noticeable he didn’t panic either and picked Hourihane out with the pass. 

I felt proud to be there today. It wasn’t about the players on the pitch that have been at the club for five minutes. 
it was about the fans that ARE the club and whose ancestors have been there since the beginning. 
Great start. 

Hard fought, told us allot about what to expect in this league, including the even poorer standard of officials. I'm sure there'll be disappointments to come, but it's great to see a solid performance and a win infront of a bigger home crowd than Forest will manage this season ? 
 

Yesssssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!

NML is tearing them apart down the right. Several good runs so far. Looks like a proper handful.

Hi all!
Just wanted to come by and thank you all for this marathon thread which I have spent far too many hours following. Great finish of a Rollercoaster thread (only matched by the legendary George Thorne Thread). 
So happy to be able to keep follow the mighty rams from afar which i have been doing since the late 90's. For me it really dosen't matter which division we play as long the pride and passion is alive & present.
And also big thanks for this forum, it's been great for me since there aren't too many Rams supporters around where i live. You all do a terrific job you mods and posters.
Best wishes to you all from afar

Cometh the hour,cometh the man. Thanks Mr Clewes. DCFC are on the way back! Fook EFL, Couhig, the muppet from Middlesbro, any Notts florist deluded fan, we are BACK!!UTR!!

Alf you legend, on behalf of the forum, thanks for brightening up the morning with a chuckle.

The rambling weirdo does not making any sense.
 
 I have had enough of it, anybody would think that no other club had ever been in administration.  Leeds, Leicester, Portsmouth, Ipswich, Coventry, Southampton, Crystal Palace, Bolton, Wigan and more have all been there, don’t remember the same animosity for those clubs.  
Notts Trees fans should be careful, nobody knows what’s round the corner, we didn’t.

EH????

The clue is in the name. I am in the Philippines. 

Home to a Oxford I hope we sing his name loud and non stop until kick off …
The fact we probably won’t know any of our team makes it an even better idea ?
shout his name from the rooftops deserves ever bit of praise going for saving our great football club 

This is where any conversation should start and end.
The most important thing right now is saving this football club, if thats Clowes, Ashley, Appleby or even Kirchner, we should be extremely grateful.
Millions are being spent on a club that has little more than ourselves, the money it’s going to cost to purchase this club could potentially buy or even own a major stake in most Championship clubs.
It makes zero business sense buying this football club, none what so ever, so whoever it is that completes the purchase, we should be eternally grateful as we have been far too close to losing this club that means so much to us all. 
 

Cetrainly better than if he pulls you off.....

The thing with pitch invasions are, clubs remind fans not to enter the pitch, it’s a criminal offence, then they use images with fans on the pitch as promotional material. Here’s Bournemouth using one to sell season tickets.
They are either serious about clamping down on it, or not.
 

Woke up, checked Twitter, cried.

Just to confirm some genius hasn't hacked Chris' Twitter to pull a cruel (but clever) prank on us all ... Mrs Kirchner has also had her say.
 
 
 
Unless she was hacked too ......

Just landed in Vegas to this news….. it’s 4pm in the afternoon here and 40 degrees ? ☀️…. Time for a cold beer and raise a glass to the new gaffer ?? ?
