Get tanked up, can't handle their beer and ruin a day out for everyone else. 

I’ve been vocal about how proud I am of our fans’ support this season. The singing has been pretty much non stop. I think it’s partly because there seems to be more younger fans (16-21) going at the minute.
However, there have also been a lot more unsavoury chants in recent months, generally led by that age range. Barely a game goes by without hearing songs about Nigel Doughty these days. And I must have heard the words “Billy Sharp” and “sex offender” 1,000 times yesterday.
Not sure there’s really a point to this post. Just an observation.

Week on from admin and The Rams are still playing like absolute legends.

Mel is yesterday's news, moment he put us into admin is the moment he in effect washed his hands of any responsibility for what comes next. We shouldn't waste any energy on the past now. 

Hard to tell. Could he just be preparing for prolonged unemployment?

This answers a little of that.
And this, some more.

Hope he got payment in advance.

Inevitable! Frigging angry,sad, and completely numb as to how we are now! I love this club not the frigging chairman, not the owner, this club! Worst we have ever been in over 50 years supporting this club! However, we need to support the team tomorrow no matter what! Wait until AFTER THE MATCH TO DEMONSTRATE NOT BEFORE. Show the rest of the country what TRUE FOOTBALL FANS ARE not the ones who purport to be! The team AND manager need us.

I think it is 30 mins after kick off 
Again email Derby county to see when doors shut.

Yeah, mines playing up. It's showing Wimbledon vs Watford from the mid 1980s.

Could be better..
Could be worse - SWFC 

Looking at the past two seasons, looking like we would have to get close to 55 - 60 points to avoid the drop with a 9 point deduction.

1230, I think...

There was a DET article, which if you could fight through 4000 adverts and several other bits of guff journalism, said likely after international break.

I think it was intimated that both would miss the game. 

First game in 18 months and so my thoughts may be a bit over analytical from finally getting a right eyeful.
 
-So I was sat out the other end to our fans with some mates tonight. The biggest positive really was our fans tonight who were superb. They filled the stadium with atmosphere tonight and it’s exactly what the squad needs. I will maybe be slightly critical on one thing later, but I honestly thought they were fantastic 
-Seen people saying the first goal was Allsops ‘mistake’ and I’m not quite sure I’d go that far. The cross itself was the only bit of quality Sheff U mustered up all game and the striker got a decent header on it. Sure, it could’ve been better defended collectively as a team and maybe he could have been better positioned but I’m not gonna individually blame the keeper for that. It was a collective bad moment to me.
-My one slight criticism of our support was toward Bogle, not necessarily the booing because it put him off his game. If anything it was a genius crowd move, but I was sat at the other end hearing the ‘you’re a **** Ebosele’ chants and I thought ‘oooo that’s a bit on the nose’. Then a minute later he puts in a pearler of a cross and they are 1-1. I’m not going ott and saying it gave him a point to prove, but it felt like it gave him enough to overcome something in that moment. Again the away fans were superb, but it’s just one tiny aspect I thought at the time 
-Sibley was the best player on the pitch when he had no right to be all things considered.
-All our good play went through Jozwiak, those critical of him won’t care mention but the game changed once he went off.
-They brought on Fleck and Sharp and we brought on kids. They still created nothing aside from our error which I think says a lot.
-Slight little football crush on Stearman, he just loves football and defending.
-Forsyth deserves a bit of a mention, thought he was untroubled tonight. I’d say motm if it wasn’t for sibley
-United fans are a bit weird, both during the game and in the pub after, they are absolutely obsessed with Sharp and Wilder and can’t let go. Genuinely there was more crowd reaction for that scally kid evading stewards than anything on the pitch. Despite the win I’d be worried of the manner of that result tonight, they created so little against a second string side tipped for relegation.  A lot of the fans, and even some of the players didn’t really care until Billy Sharp was introduced
-The ref…he wasn’t great. Not necessarily in a way that he was getting decisions wrong all the time but I did think the ‘key’ decisions he tended to give them. Main example was the free kick for Sheff U when I think McDonald went for a shot and the defender got his foot their first. Just….no! Also Allsop got properly clattered with intent from one of their players and it was late. Was a booking all day if he caught on but didn’t do anything. Just those tiny little decisions that give a side some undeserved momentum in my book.
-Last one! All out young players look excellent one minute but al have that mistake in them. They aren’t developed to the standard we need just yet, they are fine and can do a job but we can only throw them in for so long before it has the opposite effect.
 

Fans were cracking again today. I only have two regrets.
1) I wish those in the concourse singing about Nigel Doughty had shut up.
2) I wish I’d grown some balls and slapped the very slappable head of the bloke in front of me who booed the anti-racism gesture before kick off.
Other than that, keep it up.
