Pictures or it didn't happen.

The photographers were all shot. Below is a discussion of Hitler's perversions.

As long as I can be on Top.

Just because he's from Thailand, it doesn't necessarily mean he's into that type of carryon

But it is a possibility?

When I do tours around the ground for kids on our Schools Projects there is sometimes a fella there with the Falcon, the club have him in to fly the bird around the ground to make sue there's no nests in the roofing etc.. I think they have them in either every week or every other. Not heard of them coming to the games though

Beautiful plumage

OK. We're waiting for the punch-line.

Was that a peregrine falcon that kept flying round?! I thought it were a pigeon!

If you thought that that was a pigeon you must think that falcons are ****ing massive.

Agree. There are lots of plums on the trees in our orchard this year.

I assumed it was too, but then it never came that close to where I was.

He started chanting 'pigeon is a Leicester fan'....

Seems I was about the only one at the match who didn't see it. First I knew of it was watching the match back when I got home.

I was one of the ****s who watched it on TV.

I also rarely stand up even though I luv Lestah; I never shit on the red side of the tracks; I appreciated Yakubu's quality; I am tolerant of homosexuals; and prefer to watch the subsequent minute after the goal as opposed to bouncing up and down facing the back like a ****.

Oh, and I'm only a half **** as I share a season ticket.

But which side of the Trent do you shit on?

Usually straight in, either before, after or during a quick paddle.

What a nice bird. At one point in the TV coverage I thought it was actually laughing at Derby! :icon_razz

I wouldn't be surprised if it was a wild one. From the TV shots, I didn't notice it wearing jesses, which are the leather strips falconry birds wear around their legs. They'd have been quite obvious when it was flying around. If it was there to get rid of pigeons, presumably they couldn't get it back as the owner wouldn't want it to roost out in the stands.

I saw Peregrine Falcons fly past at games at Filbo quite a few times, and they were a lot rarer then. Me and my brother would always wonder if anyone else noticed, let alone knew what they were. Seeing as we were both editors of the Leicestershire & Rutland Annual Bird Report (yes, there is such a thing, an august publication) we always made sure it got a mention. We also got several other Filbo references in there, including, I think, a Grey Wagtail that flew around in circles under the floodlights in thick fog for the entire duration of a game against Blackburn.

And I imagine that has killed this thread... :icon_bigg
