What’s with the new thing of welcoming the away team back onto the field after half time? Never used to happen before. First half - both. Second half - home team only.

Probably thanking them for their first half performance
They say you can’t polish a turd. But, my god the turd that Adkins put together, has been taken and polished into some really special. A absolute fantastic team performance, are these really the same players, who were “not fit to wear the shirt” only a few weeks back.
Though I would have asked Paul Walsh to step out and take the photo!
It’s a tricky one - my late Dad took first took me in 1976 - but whilst I loved Hales, Powell, Peacock etc etc - Paul Walsh was the first player I identified with, because he was young (as in nearer my age), short (like me), fast (I was - not now !!) skills, goals - I cut out photos of him from the programmes and pinned them to my bedroom wall - and then he was gone - just like that, gone - yes the Valley was a dump, but it was my dump, but the bit of glamour that it had, was gone - when you are 12 these are the things that matter if you are a football fan
And then over the years, he doesn’t seem to have any affection for my team, but he was my favourite at the time - I didn’t get it, so I sort of parked him in the memory bank, and moved on to other favourites - but there was always a bit of me that wanted him to say something about his time with us,…..positive !!!
Yesterday at the Plymouth game, before that photo was taken, it was my time, it was my time to tell him that he really meant something to the 9, 10, 11 and 12 year old Lord Flash - I said ‘I was gutted when you left us’ - and he was very gracious, and I think a little surprised, that a Charlton fan held him in so high regard, and thanked me (and he meant it)
And today I read the news article someone posted about his struggles with the booze, and his apologies to people
Yeah, I get it now
He was a really nice bloke last night - no side to him at all
Did i hear Plymouth fans singing 'Charlton get battered everywhere they go at 0-0'?
I thought I heard that - Wasn't sure if they were saying Charlton or one of their rivals though.
Equally didnt understand the Pasty chant from us. Unless I'm missing a trick, Plymouth is in Devon rather than Cornwall - Never had the pleasure of being able to enjoy a Devon Pasty before
Aren't they sponsored by Ginsters? They of the mediocre pasty?

I never ever get it when watching games, but seeing dressing room clips like this makes me miss playing / managing football so much. There are very few better places than the dressing room when things are going well and you’ve a tight group of lads.
I managed to lose my season ticket in North Lower. If anyone found it please message me..Thanks
Hopefully it's been handed in to reception, so if you give them a call tomorrow they'd be able to check for you. Luckily we've not got a home game for a couple of weeks so there's less of a hurry to sort out a replacement.
Decent professional both on and off the pitch by the looks of things
Souare, Matthews, and Stockley also spotted as well. I don’t, but wonder if you’re usually expected to be there on a match day?
Usually it's up to the non-matchday squad players I believe, but I think Jackson brought all the players in for the game he took after Bowyer went. Maybe a togetherness exercise?!

The dressing rooms I've been in by the time the manager's got in there half are already in the showers & the other half are undressed with kit strewn about everywhere.

My wife’s family are from Devon and people there are adamant that the Cornish “stole” the pasty from them, guessing that’s why there’s the Ginsters/pasty connection with Plymouth (also Plymouth is in Devon but right next to Cornwall border). There’s also some bollocks about the correct order to put the cream and the jam on a scone or something that causes inter-county rivalry.

If you can have an argument over if it is jam or cream first you would fit right in here.

Indeed there is, and indeed it is complete bollox. The taste is the same regardless of the order in which you build it.

A traditional Devonian scone always has the cream first.

100% and that is why they are wronguns,
If you put the cream on first it goes all over the place when you try to spread the jam which tends to be firmer and needs more pressure to spread it.
Cornish people do it the correct way, jam on first allowing for pressure to spread it followed by the cream which is softer.
A word for the defence as well. What they’ve been able to do over the last five games, with how many injuries they’ve suffered has been amazing. Four clean sheets in five is massive.
The turn around in fortunes is almost unbelievable and a lot of credit has to go to Jacko for cracking the code.
I notice that both Plymouth and Rotherham have adopted the same 3-5-2/3-1-4-2 type formation. Wigan are using it too. The league’s top three teams. Maybe Jacko took some inspiration from that, believing that we have more quality in our squad to do what they do, but better.

We have lost JJ to the team of the week; served Sandgaard right for waiting so long to give him the job full time.
And then over the years, he doesn’t seem to have any affection for my team, but he was my favourite at the time - I didn’t get it, so I sort of parked him in the memory bank, and moved on to other favourites - but there was always a bit of me that wanted him to say something about his time with us,…..positive !!!

I met my first hero - and he was great 👌
The sound kept cutting out during Jacko's speech
Sort it out

It is the way Chelsea set up too....
