  1. We were talking about that yesterday, was that the one where it kicked off where the two stands join? ie at the other end of the ground from yesterday, on the right as you look down the pitch? None of that yesterday 😑
  2. Ref fuckin bottled it, he knew the biggest game of the day would be over as a contest if he’d given a pen and a red at that point of the proceedings . TV influencing what happens on the pitch and not just reflecting it. Dont worry, its only been going on for 30+ years
  3. O’Nien was the only one who seemed to be playing with a Derby game mentality yesterday. Despite his histrionics (no better/worse than Bruno tbf) I thought he played ok. Interesting to hear comments about the ITV coverage and how desperate they were for an upset. Roy Keane apparently said Sunderland were a bigger club?
  4. I got home about half 10 ☺️ It took about 5 1/2 hours. Can’t really do it much quicker than that. The buses to and from the SoL were really well organised, got back into town just after four. As derbies go it was a bit tame, maybe the usual packs of howling red and white orcs that provide the welcoming party were scared off by the heavy police presence. Did spot this splendid looking chap though
  5. Queue for bus started at the Companions Club We’re on now, everyone has been given a new scarf sponsored by Sela 😒
  6. The tickets to get in that bar are apparently between 200-600 quid a throw depending on who you listen to so am highly unlikely to be able to find out first hand 🤷🏻‍♂️ This from the club’s email yesterday. Most of us will be on a shuttle of shitty double deckers but the corporate hospitality crowd appear to have other arrangements. Derby day apartheid. 😑
  7. Pilger came out of the late 60s student revolutionary scene and never left it (same as Corbyn) . Lately a ludicrously flawed and compromised fuckin idiot. His early campaigning work was often brilliant though…no one else was really bringing attention to what was going on in the likes of Cambodia or East Timor. Without the likes of Pilger western imperialism in Asia and the Pacific would have largely just gone ahead unchecked. He wasn’t the only one but he mostly worked for the Daily Mirror, the biggest selling tabloid on the planet at the time when everyone read newspapers. His audience was huge. Like Corbyn he was in thrall to all types of socialism/communism/marxism all his life. He never grew out of it and in the end it utterly blinded him to its affects and consequences. His journalistic methods and motivations were often questionable. It’s not news to me that he was a bit of cunt. His anti western obsession did however shine a light on some important issues.
  8. Mission received and accepted. Photographic evidence to follow
  9. He runs an alternative 80s club night in Brighton… https://www.komedia.co.uk/brighton/club/spellbound/
  10. That would be fair enough if you hadn’t chosen fact free bullshit merchants HITC
  11. Do you feel they somewhat contradict each other? 🤷🏻‍♂️🤔😆
