Pointless pitch invasions, fans in fancy dress doing the conga, footballs (and shoes….) flying about. Felt very much like a 90’s end of season affair. Thought it was all very amusing in all honesty.

I can’t see that happening again, thankfully ?

Think you’re definitely overthinking things way to far. Something light-hearted when the season is petering out, I’m all for it.

It was right in front of where we were sitting, it was a clear foul just as he was shaping up to make the pass.

You mean when he was bundled over just as he was about to make the pass.

Our first home game that season wasn’t until the end of August. No where near when the balloon fiesta was held.

08 we started away to Blackpool. Rain so bad there was pitch inspection at 2:15, Brooker scored in the last minute. Great times.

I’m sure the last time we were at home on the same weekend as the Balloon Fiesta was back in 07, played QPR and it was complete chaos. Don’t think they’ve allowed it since.

5:30 KO is far better than 12:30.

Chelsea would have had staggered sales priority much like we had for the Bournemouth game, only with more levels. I’d imagine they were only at the start of priority sales when the sanctions got placed. They would have sold the game out easily.

Was just about to post something similar, really impressed with him.

I hope that made you feel really proud.

Hahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahaaha, Jesus, what an idiot.

Micah Richards is great. His personality sometimes reminds me about what football should be about, fun. That’s not to say he can’t deliver good analysis either. Him and Roy Keane are the double act no one ever knew they needed.

I don’t know which podcast you’re referring to but I expect I won’t be winning any prizes if I was to guess correctly that it’s Forever Bristol City?!

Prior to training with us, I doubt he was sitting on his ass waiting for a club to call. He will have been doing fitness work with a PT or a specialised football fitness coach. Just how quick he can get up to match fitness is the question.

Yeah for sure. Footballers don’t get a lot of sympathy but regardless of their earnings etc, they still have mortgages and bills to pay. Not being able to earn a wage for 6 months could have serious consequences for some of them, most likely younger players as well.

I think the rule’s slightly different if a club was to be liquidated.

You said you’d never heard of his name before this season. But, yes I’ve watched games he’s played in before and him and Scott looked a cut above players of a similar age to them.

How could you not have heard of AB name prior to this season? His name has been talked about for the past 2/3 years, he’s had call ups for England…. he’s not just your average player who goes through the academy system. It’s probably easier just to admit that you’re talking shite.

Oh how the tables have turned, or so it would seem.

Sorry, been living on the moon for the past couple of years……. have Derby County no longer got the EFL & Championship clubs on strings then?

Always rumours of other teams fans in the home ends and it either never happens or if it does, they sensibly keep their gobs shut. If they do open their gobs I suppose they can look forward to trying to beat that Leeds fans time for falling from the top of the Dolman to the bottom.

I don’t think anyone should be taking lessons in entertainment from someone who enjoys counting passenger coming off trains at Parsons Street. So much wrong in your post it’s making my head hurt.

It’s the private hire boat I’d imagine.
