I’m a Wales-based teenage Derby County fan, and today I decided to take the train down to Cardiff to watch them play Charlton. There were a few reasons for that, other than the location - I’ve got a few Cardiff-supporting friends, I can’t stand Charlton for various reasons, and I wanted to take a one-game break from watching Derby, because there’s only so much suffering I can take.

Anyway, suffice it to say I absolutely made the right decision. Got a lovely seat in the Grandstand in an area that was full of season ticket holders, mostly in their 50s and 60s. As soon as I sat down with about an hour until kickoff, the steward who’d let me through started chatting to me about where I was from, about the club, about the players, an extremely friendly guy. I’ve never known stewards at professional matches to be so outgoing, he was brilliant.

Shortly after, the seats around me started filling up, and the man next to me seemed to be friends with absolutely everyone in a 5-seat radius - and the fact that he didn’t recognise me, well, that just meant I was a new friend for him to make. When Moylan scored his first goal (the kind of goal Derby would only dream of scoring this season), he offered peppermints to me, which was extremely nice of him. When Salech scored, the aforementioned steward leaned over and said “you might want to come back for another few games too”!

Throughout the second half I was chatting with the guy next to me, who seemed intent on converting me to a Cardiff fan right there, in the most friendly way possible. The guy directly in front of me also shook my hand and asked if it was my first time, and told me to enjoy the game.

All in all, it was a brilliant game, Cardiff played them off the park. But the friendliness of the fans around me absolutely blew me away, I’ve never had that experience at a match before, even non-league. What a lovely club, and what incredible fans. Safe to say they’re my second-favourite club in the league now, and when Derby come to visit in a few months… I might just find myself choosing to buy a ticket in the home end!

Thanks all! 💙

Hi guys, been having this problem for a while and I saw someone else had it on the SPFL Facebook too, but their post was locked before anyone found a solution.

Basically, whenever I try to edit the kits for one of the fully-customisable teams (Ceres Negros, Zamora FC and Zalgiris Vilnius) having loaded up the game without Sider (directly from FL2026.exe), it lets me edit the home kit but not the away, third or goalkeeper kits. This is very frustrating as I wanted to create a ML with my own custom team.

This has never happened before so I assume it is a v2.2 bug. Does anyone have a fix?

Also, do kits installed in content\kits have higher priority? Can CPK kits and content\kits kits both show up in game?

Hi guys; I’m 17M and I turn 18 years old in around 140 days. Since a couple of months before I turned 12, I’ve been living in the second-most secluded part of the UK, a minuscule village in mid-Wales. I am currently unable to drive and do not possess anywhere near enough money to move out. I have a remote job which may be able to pay well in the future but it is uncertain. This is the only job that I was able to get in years of searching and I wouldn’t trade it for the world. I am happy with it, but I’ve spent nearly 6 years having had very, very little opportunities to socialise with other teenagers, besides online. It has been 14 months since I last spoke to someone within 2 years of my age, and more than 6 years since I actually had a crush.

The reason I’m living here is because my parents wanted to “quit the rat race” shortly before the first Covid lockdown. At the time we all kind of just assumed that, since all of us were introverts, we would all be OK socially, that we could live self-sufficiently, and that was pretty much true for the first couple of years. I spent a long time successfully deluding myself into thinking “it’s okay that I don’t talk to other people that much, I’m happy being on my own and I’m not missing out on anything.” But I’m almost an adult now and I’ve spent all my formative years without a single friend or anyone I regularly spoke to, and often went more than a year without talking to anyone except the few adults populating my tiny village. I was homeschooled during this time and managed to complete my education up to GCSE level, although it was very stressful because online classes were very difficult for me to focus on. I also started honing my skills in content creation, media and graphic design, leading me to the job I currently have, which thankfully is remote, and which I enjoy doing.

My older brother went to school for his last three years of childhood and he ended up making too many mistakes in his life, leading my parents to heavily restrict my sister and I even more than we already naturally were. I found a new youth club within a distance I can get to by bus, but they will not let me go there because they don’t want me to end up like my brother. I’m not my brother, I don’t think like he does, and while I respect him as my older brother I do not at all want to take the same paths he has. But they will not hear it, and I’m powerless to do anything about that. I do not think I will be able to move out within the next few years - even if I do get the money - without serious complications with them. I know my parents are only doing this to try and protect me, but this level of protection is seriously restrictive. Every so often I am lectured by them on how social interactions lead you to making serious errors in order to conform, etc etc.

So essentially in terms of being able to make my own way to getting out of here, I’ve done absolutely all I can. Out of the very few things I’ve found that are available to me, there is nothing more than I can try. I am stuck.

next time someone says this, say “well fuck you too” and then flip them off and then leave

I spent my entire teenage essentially living in isolation, not being able to see anyone my age due to living in an ultra-remote place, and social isolation is absolutely killing me, especially as someone who enjoyed socialising back when I had it available

I don’t know why, and I don’t know how this could possibly make anything better, but when I have free time I sometimes find myself counting milestones since certain things.

- 14 months since I last had a conversation with someone my age
- 25 months since I was last able to have a conversation with a girl
- 5 years and 9 months since I moved to the second-most remote place in the UK after the Scottish highlands
- 6 years since I last had a crush
- 144 days until I turn 18 and will have spent my entire teenage childhood in isolation
- and worst of all, indefinite days until I can get out of here
