My stag do! 🤣

Then we saw him in the club we went in later that night! 

Grim game that lol

The day was topped off on the way home when the car in front hit a cat and it went 10 foot in the air doing triple somersaults.

I've just seen the big decisions at Derby v Reading.

The sending off was harsh to say the least, and I'm being polite.

But the penalty is scandalous.  Player goes through searching a long pass, can't quite reach it so sticks his arm out to try to knock it past the oncoming keeper.  They collide.  Should have been a booking to the Derby player, but no - penalty. 

Another example of the ref being more important than any other individual, the standard is dreadful.

[Johnnyrotten]

Oh and Burton should have had an absolute nailed on penalty about 5 minutes from the end at Pompey which would have been an equaliser.  Ref booked him for diving, he was tripped.

[Steejay]

Stevenage should have had a penalty before any goals were scored last night, blatant handball.

0-1 Derby - Malcolm Christie

In a corporate box that day. Closest I’ve been to being removed from a ground. Got officially told to button it. Unofficially got a bottle of Coke lobbed at me

There's a difference between confidence about tomorrow and overall arrogance. That's somewhat lacking in respect for the size of club Bolton is. 

[little whitt]

Bolton 5-0  @200-1

[Whitesince63]

Could be a really decisive day tomorrow given the Posh v Pompey game as well. I can’t make my mind up on that one whether I want Pompey to beat Posh and keep them back, since they’ve also got Derby and Barnsley in which I’d hope they’d do the same, or not? I’m not really arsed about finishing Champions, just getting automatic but really with the games remaining even two draws wouldn’t be a terrible result! 🥴

Wins for us and Peterborough would blow it right open. Barnsley also have a very winnable game too.

[barrycowdrill]

Us win and Posh and pompey draw is the ideal scenario 

yes that would keep posh in the mix but I’d still much rather have 5 going at 2 spots than 4 going for 1 and Pompey be away in the distance 

whether we finish as 1st or 2nd I couldn’t really care as long as we’re in those spots

[Farrelli]

I would take a draw. Hopefully we give Derby a proper game but we do have a habit of not turning up for these types of games. 

[gonzo]

Not sure Derby are much better at turning up for big games.

We start on front foot and land the first blow I reckon its our day. Theyll shit their pants and the natives will be hysterical.

Bang on the money.

We've scored more than any other side in the opening 15 minutes this season.

Time to get out of that habit 

[Lt. Aldo Raine]

Hopefully, we'll see more of the same tomorrow

I don’t understand where Derby get this Billy big bollocks attitude from.

3 major trophies in their history and just under 42k for their highest ever attendance.

They regularly "do us" at their place, so they will be confident. 

Bigger crowds than us, which is the sort of attitude some of ours have towards Wigan. 

We've now got to go and show what we can do and upset them.

Well let’s put it this way.

If we don’t belong in this division, they certainly don’t.

Biggest club in the league and by some distance.

Fair enough, our track record at their midden is poor,  but the comment “I expect to beat Bolton at home in every single league we’re in” is just arrogance.

Based on what exactly?
