If it’s postponed then we go to Luton and Cardiff, then play Barnsley at home before Lawrence is back. I bet we’d rather play Barnsley at home without Lawrence and get him back to play Millwall down the line. I'd rather back to back home games. The atmosphere was electric Saturday, keep that going Kathcairns 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millwall’s game was called off on the weekend as well…who knows if that means they’re fresher or a bit off it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember it well, I was on the Popside at the time. It was pretty obvious from there, that the ref had put the ball in the wrong spot. Corrigan complained about it and got booked, then the groundsman came out and measured it, proving Corrigan was correct. Could only be Derby. When I think back to the unique happenings at our club on and off the pitch, it's almost unbelievable that so much had happened to one club. Penalty spot incident. Fans surrounding the pitch trying to tackle a Fulham player. Coffee cup goal. Missing first European qualification through financial problems. Players threatening strike action after Clough went. Club moments from being wound up in court in the 80s The 3 amigos. Wee Billy's post match comments on the Wembley pitch unsurprising followed by that season. The curse of the CDM, Thorne and Beilik injuries cost us dear. The debacle of the EFL handling our case over the last couple of years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, it was on MOTD that evening and Jimmy Hill using the technology of the day, superimposed on the real image, once the groundsman had measured it, where Corrigan and the referee had actually thought it should be. Corrigan was almost "spot on" (see what I did there?) and the referee would have had it a yard further forward. Dunno if he was the same ref from the Rotherham game a few years later but anyway....

Boycie Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 (edited) Can you remember Brums pitch when Billy was our manager, they took the reserve pitch mid season for New Wembley and it didn’t set right. It was cutting up in flaps and the EFL threatened a points deduction. Never happened though. Edited February 21, 2022 by Boycie “New” Wembley had a spare pitch grown for them by the way, that’s when Wembley’s pitch was awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abu Derby Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 The pitch looks a right old state lately. One of the first things that needs sorting once pb takes over is the grass. Put some of that grass food on it and vacuum out what looks like sand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
