MATCH OFFICIALS
GAVIN WARD
Shaun Hudson and Mark Pottage
Fourth Official : Leigh Doughty

This will be Gavin Ward’s third game he has reffed the swans away from home this year. He lives in Surrey with his pet cat, Wilma, his mum and a baby leopard which he rescued from a circus in Bridlington last summer. Some of this isn’t true. However, what we do know is he doesn’t like washing his hands after painting his bedroom, and he has stated to a few personal friends that he will make sure the swans win this game.

EVERY TIME I THINK OF DERBY

Lily Savage getting a good dressing down from the Spanish matador.

Yes, every time I think of Derby I think of Lily getting booted up in the air. Probably one of my favourite football memories of recent times. Those flowing locks nearly leaving his thick cranium as he yelped like Gavin Wards cat with a snake up its broadside. Since then Lily has become a so called ‘pundit’ on Radio 5 where he continues to display thick headed verbal spoutage and totally ill informed lunacy in the company of other loons not worthy of mention. Lily is a quality fool, and everyone except him knows it. Swansea fans dislike Lily because he is a prat. He also eats dog food and raw liver. He isn’t hard and his mum has got two bums.

WHAT IS A DERBY ?
It’s not the easiest of questions to answer, however we do know that the much talked about Brian Clough was their manager and Stuart Pearce would rather nibble Gavin Wards cats cold turds than say the word ‘Serby’ See what I did there. Derby used to be in Norfolk before the Battle of Britain, but due to the closer proximity of the town to the reich it was moved to Derbyshire where it remains to this day. Roy Macfarlane used to play for Derby, he once picked up Billy Bremner and walked around the pitch with him before eating his left ear. Billy apologised and later died.

Here is a picture of Roy and Billy, this was of course before Roy changed his name to Dave McKay. In the background you can see Terry Venables who actually never played for Derby at all. Terrys wife’s name is Myrtle. The referee cutting a fine step towards Macfarlane and Lorimer later did TV voiceovers and came up with the phrase ‘You sunk my battleship’ Bremner was actually playing for Leeds at the time and had ginger hair. Many people still think this game was a Tottenham v Leeds encounter, but that is completely untrue.

Derby is famous for ...
The amount of old people’s homes they have in one city. It’s huge amount of OAPs and places for them to live have encouraged the likes of Wayne Rooney to play for the club. Wayne who has an official liking for the older more leathered flesh is now some form of manager at Derby. He is often found wandering around the city centre sniffing an old block of Stilton and winking at any likely female aged over seventy five.

Derby is also something our near neighbours down east don’t like to say.

There will be football news galore very soon

In the meantime here is a badge I took off a six year old kid who was getting all leary with me back in the day when I was proper.



And a picture of our Wayne with an old lady he spent a night with yesterday.

Oh great, have a go at the player that's literally carried this team on his back for most of the season, maybe his back is killing him


Seriously?
He's been consistently poor for the last month.

This - very bad night at the office, I can live with losing (you have to in this league) but to play this poorly for the full 90 mins without a single attempt on target is very difficult to swallow.

Barnsley picking up points & will be a handful on Saturday.

He made Ayew grab him and push him?

Frustrating game but Ayew should know better


You mean that you, like the Ref couldn't see his arm wrapped rigth around Ayew middle stopping going after the ball?

Very disappointing - didn't trouble the keeper, let alone come close to scoring. We've done well in defence this season, but not been great in the opponent's half. We were all encouraged by the performance against Cardiff, but other than that we haven't played well in recent games.

Payback for the elbow to the jaw Ayew whinged about getting penalised for.

Palmer just wants to run through players, I'm shocked it's not working.


Palmer is garbage,said it from day one on his ass more than his feet too slow getting ball moving lazy off the ball not good enough

Bullied tonight..

Football Manager type stuff by Cooper though, go two goals down and then chuck on every attacking player and hope they do something, no plan B. Rooney did a complete number on him tonight, back down to earth in a big way.

Players are tired simple as, too many are playing too many minutes when others arent getting enough gametime.

Cooper puts players on and expect them to do a job when they have hardly had any time on the pitch.

He relies on the likes of ayew, grimes, bennett etc too much, hopefully he will learn its a long bloody season so he needs to rotate more often.

It was a very tired performance, we were poor all over the pitch. It won't be the last time this season. Onwards and hopefully upwards.

Just my opinion, but WTF do I know anyway?

Awful tonight, truly dreadful with no redeeming features

But only 7 defeats from our last 33 league games

And in the play off positions

And after losing three of our best players from last season in Rodon Brewster Gallagher they’re over achieving and that presents its own problems in terms of high expectations and disappointment when they underperform as they did tonight ( big time )

Onto the weekend and an early chance to put it behind us

Only an idiot would eat a turkey curry on Christmas day
