Didnt you hear Ben gull shout your name?

And I thought we did alright last night. Defended for most of it but apart from one or two chances Rotherham never tested Olejnik and we could and probably should of had at least one more especially with Tai missing an open goal and heading wide and Jarvis being unlucky hitting the bar.

On to Burton another difficult place to go where we have a bit of an indifferent record up there. We definatley cant under estimate them and I'm sure Ling wont let them. They are in a bit of a rut recently but that can change quickly and these teams in the past seem to have a habbit of ending bad form against us in the past.

Was good to meet Andy and Scottish Gull aswell.

First of all can i just dispel the apparent myth that i'm some kind of slobbering, ranting, oddball or indeed a knuckledragging tattooed meathead who grunts and spits through matches. I'm neither. I do like the odd rant Ben but most of the time i'm pretty normal so apologies for not going off on one last night mate! :~D I was waiting for you to start one off so i could join in.

And Bix, i've got armfuls of kraut-based tattoos but it was bloody freezing last night mate so was i buggering hell gonna wear a t-shirt therefore they were kept well hidden, besides - i'm not the type of bloke that walks around like friggin Popeye every day with arms bulging and tattoos showing. I've got no vain bone in my body, i ain't got time for it to be honest. In fact the reason i've kept them covered up for so long at games is so that nobody sees them and thinks i'm some sort of weirdo. I'll get folk asking me where my TUFC tattoo is and truth be told i don't have one yet.
I'm not doing that any more though. If people want to ask me about them then fine, just didn't want to court attention as although i'm a generally friendly bloke i can be a bit antisocial sometimes and sometimes enjoy my own company. It's a shame i couldn't put a face to your name Bix but probably sometime soon.

I love getting involved at games with all the singing and banter and stuff but i'm in that funny age bracket where i'm a bit too old for all you lot on the back step in terms of getting battered and having energy and fun. God knows what fun is! When you hit 30 it disappears forever! . On the flipside, i'm also way, way too young to be sat down the bottom of the stand eating a packed lunch and drinking a flask of tea. It was hard last night to really get going as there weren't many of us but we gave it a good go and the overall matchday experience and atmosphere of the DVS is so depressing that you just want to get the points and get the hell out.

Anyway, really pleased to have met some of you and no doubt i'll be meeting many more members ( that sounds bad! AND gay!) in games to come ( i've gotta knock it off with the childish sex references ).
