He does @PistoldPete and hopefully it will rub off on everyone. I think this season will be a hard fought one, but I'm confident that we have the potential to do well this season. We have a promising manager and team and hopefully it will be fun to see the team improve, learn and grow together. I think we'll see much more positivity on the forum this season after the torrid time we have all been through. We are back and on the way up. ?

It puts me in mind of sitting in the garden on a warm summer evening with friends and bottles of wine! That kind of evening when all seems right with the world. Keep up the amiable woffle!! ?

It was always woffle in my mind but seeing written with an “a” makes total sense pronounced as per breakfast waffle - I suspect linguistically you’re right and my spelling, (or the teachers) is a personal glitch. As a kid I grew up with pretty much “received” pronunciation which has changed over time as you move and mirror with the world and times. Thing is despite a nod to “poshness” I have always pronounced Lorry as Lurry. It’s so ingrained that I just can’t change it despite ever piece of evidence means mine is off. Quite what the above has to do with a footy match I have no idea - it’s more w*ffle I suppose ? Kathcairns 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ImARam2 Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Did anyone take notice of the German team coach yesterday, which I thought was a brilliant advertisement for their club and team. Not only a great slogan but with all the name badges of the districts and towns which surround the city of Berlin. "Wir Sind ein Berliner" - translated means "We are Berliners". Not the incorrect JF Kennedy quote of "Ich bin ein Berliner", which basically means, "I'm a hot dog"!!! I don't know if Derby County F.C. have an official coach, or do they just hire one for the day? However, why not a club coach with "We are Derby" on the outside, with our own districts and towns where our supporters originate? Or would that provide a abuse and damage from other club supporters as they drive to and park at other grounds?

EnigmaRam Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 What WAS good to see was the amount of bodies in the box when our wide players had the ball. There were generally at least 3 In there ready for a cross. angieram, jono, kash_a_ram_a_ding_dong and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 12 hours ago, Ellafella said: Yes he was the stand-out player. Very clever and brings other players into the game and is a presence even when he hasn’t got the ball he occupied the defenders. Hourihane too was like quicksilver playing “liquid football” all around the park with a wand of a left foot. Collins looked ring rusty. Max Bird looked superb and his long-range passing, arrowing down the flanks with seamstress’s precision. Knight and Thompson have both beefed up and Thompson danced his opponent into submission with clever turns and quick feet. Pride Park pitch was lush, flat and even, with the ball moving over the surface with speed and even bounce. No. 1 new keeper kept out a certain goal 2nd half and Scott Loach got a Vg reception when he came on. A hot day, several pleasing Brunswick beers, liquid football at Pride Park and a 1-0 win for the Rams.
