BW likely to win easily. 
Key is that we want it to be by no more than one goal re GD…. 2 at most….

That's a really great selection. Just need to add The Littlest Hobo and it will be perfect.

Why on earth would Hughes come to Derby? He's 28 and playing regularly in the Premier League. If the best he can get if Palace don't renew is an offer from League 1/Championship he needs to sack his agent. Signing released Premier League is a bad idea in most instances. They demand high wages and don't usually justify them. Ideally teams should look to identify players on the way up in their career trajectory.

But it does make the signing of CBT pointless if you want to play three centre backs.

Trying to figure out why her gender is relevant here, that is the box you are referring as being ticked?
You are aware that all other referees are male and have been making bad decisions week in week out since the dawn of the game, yet their gender is never relevant in the aftermath. 
It's those poor decisions which has led to the introduction of VAR, which again has made some terrible decisions even with all this technology by a bunch of men sat in a room together.
I haven't seen what happened yesterday, assuming you are correct and it was a ludicrous decision, it won't be her first nor her last, likewise with every referee in the game.
If your first thought however is to come here and moan about a woman making one bad decision out of how many correct decisions over a 90 minute game of football, does come across as a bit Joey Barton like. 
 

Will be interesting to see how this one plays out

Remember when Musk said last year that he "cannot go beyond the laws of the country to defend free speech" and he censored anti-Erdogan accounts in Turkey as a result?

The fact that he's willing to challenge the laws of a country when it comes to the "free speech" of far-right Bolsanaro supporters tells us all we need to know about the Twitter bin-fire
 

And don't forget, I believe that every weekend 5 Championship games will be shown live and 5 from the combined Leagues One & Two
That'll be Friday night, Saturday lunch & evening, Sunday afternoon & Monday nights.
Brilliant !?!?!
Dare to say it but if we don't get promoted this season just imagine how many Derby games will be chosen for live weekend coverage next season

This is not a step forward at all, it stifles competition and turns it into a closed shop for the benefit of Sky. Shame on the EFL for signing such a deal. and shame on the clubs for agreeing to it also.
I will continue to subscribe to Rams TV, my overseas trips currently cost me £5 per month 🙂 Will sky be showing all matches live like Rams TV does? I doubt it! I won't give my money to Sky TV on principle.
All fans should boycott Sky TV, they are destroying football in my opinion.

No Danger Mouse, Jamie and His Magic Torch, Supergran or Chorlton and The Wheelies??
Some good suggestions on here though... Twin Peaks and Stranger Things are really memorable and evocative. 
Plus Miss Marple (with those 2 scary women peering out the window) and Dick Turpin.

Red Dwarf 
Champion the wonder horse
Match of the day
Monkees 
Tales of the unexpected 
 

They can offer international coverage, so I guess it depends on the numbers if it's worthwhile. If it's not profitable they may cut it which is a huge shame as ramstv is pretty good.
I'm pretty sure they'll still have the radio Derby coverage.

It looks as though RamsTV will no longer be able to show our games live next season, unless you are willing to take a short holiday abroad.

That's a really great selection. Just need to add The Littlest Hobo and it will be perfect.

Couldn't get it below 6

Please please Gayle hurry up back 

I recommend you try Mrs England. The story of the wife of a wealthy mill owner during the industrial revolution, told through the eyes of a young nanny. Though set in Yorkshire I imagined it as Derbyshire and it very much reminded me of the mills and large houses in the Derbyshire Dales. A great read.

This is something that I still am a bitter about. When I was a kid I was told in the history class that the good thing about the WWII was that if some crazy person tried to start the same kind of war that Hitler did it would not be possible because the other countries would interfere and stop that. 
Then the 90's started and the war of Yugoslavia started and people got massacred. Now it is happening in Ukraine and Russians are already thinking of making it worse.
As a kid I believed that we were going to be safe from all of this. Although I also believed when I was told that Pluto was a planet.🙄

They docked us too many points previously and we're due some back?

We're getting a tax rebate?

From my memory of "7 habits of highly effective people" I learned - if you want to change something about your life, change something about your life. 
And by that I mean make a small change. It might be a catalyst to bigger changes. Pick a small thing and focus on making it happen. 

We’d have taken that before kick off. 
Shame to have lost the lead twice but it’s still a good result which keeps the pressure on Bolton.

Finished 2-2! Gutted we didn’t hold on but will take that point! CBT looked good, Ward scored a couple of belters, Collins back ready for the run in, no injuries. 

I’d be happy with a point from this, oddly I think Portsmouth would take that too.
They’re pretty much promoted already. I know they can’t mathematically confirm it on Tuesday, but one win will do it for them, I can’t see Bolton getting to 89 points.
We are the only side with an outside chance of stopping them from winning the title, but to do that we have to win at Fratton Park. If Portsmouth get a draw, they’re up and they’re also Champions, so it’s a very good result for them too.
I think we will set up to get a point and maybe pinch a win if we can. If we also come out of it without defeat and injury free, we have 8 days until our following game in which Collins can build more fitness, NML can have a bit of a rest, and Bird, Gayle & Barkhuizen are all closer to their return for the run-in.
Four points from these next two and I think we’re as good as up, although if we do lose at Portsmouth, I don’t think the world is going to cave in as much as it did after the Northampton defeat.

Match Thread: vs Portsmouth (a)
Tuesday, April 2nd, Kick-Off – 8.00pm
Head to Head:
Two grand old clubs who first met way back in 1902 in the FA Cup, a game that resulted in a rather unsatisfactory 0-0 bore draw. The replay at saw us winning the replay 6-3 which doubtless gave the early Rams faithful a little more to cheer. Since then, there’s not been a deal between the two sides, with Derby edging the charts with 42 wins to Pompey’s 35.
Games won: 42
Games drawn: 23
Games lost: 35
The Status Quo:
Well, it’s looking good right now my fellow rams. Likewise for Pompey, who do look near to uncatchable now, though there doubtless remain some happy clappers like yours truly who will still be hoping Portsmouth slip up and what better place for them to begin their demise than in front of their own fans on Tuesday evening? That said, Portsmouth have arguably been THE most consistent side in the division, steadily accumulating wins after a minor, mid-season wobble. It’s fair to say that while they’ve continued their good form, our post-Xmas wobble saw us fall back a little, though if we look at the last half dozen games, we’ve actually outpointed them, indeed only Lincoln, who seem to lay waste to every team they meet right now, can claim to be in better form than our own beloved Rams.

The Key Threats:
There’s little doubt that Cody Bishop is their main striking threat with 16 goals and 2 assists to his name this season, but Pompey can boast other threats, none less than Paddy Lane who has netted 11 times this season, also weighing in with 6 assists. Abu Kamara and Marlon pack have 8 assists a piece, so it’s fair to say that Pompey have multiple attacking threats and they promise to provide us with our toughest game of the season and one in which Nelson and Cashin will need to be absolutely on their A-game if we are to leave with Fratton Park with anything to show for the game.
Team News:
Like most, I was delighted to see Collo return to the fold so swiftly and he looked pretty damn sharp to be honest. Perhaps the ‘rest’ has actually done him well! This is critical as for me, Wash and Waggy look some way off their peak and I suppose, given their lack of games this year, that’s easy to understand.
I was also delighted to see Korey Smith start and for me, he has to stay in the starting 11. He’s not entirely dissimilar to Hourihane, but his mobility gives us more stability, though that said, we did again leave gaps between the press and our back line against Blackpool and if we do so again against Pompey, we might find ourselves in some bother.
With a considerable injury list still hampering his efforts, Warne will again need to marshal his troops carefully and I’d expect a cagey performance from both sides where moments of quality will likely settle the game, rather than one side establishing outright dominance. I’ll drop another update on injuries etc, on this thread nearer the game, but I’d be looking at something similar to what we saw yesterday, with a couple of tweaks:
Firstly, I’ve assumed Elder is once more broken and that we’ll therefore need to use Sibbo in the LB role again. I’d have preferred him starting higher up the pitch, but we have so many missing that it’s a case of needs must. In so much, the back 4 pick themselves.
I’ve kept the same midfield as last week, with Smith again taking the starting role and Conor set to figure later in the game. Adams remains on fire and simply has to start every match now. The only other tweak I’d use would be to play Wash in behind Collo, assuming Jimmy is able to manage 60 minutes at this point in his return. That gives us something like the line-up below, but I do expect this to change, as I very seldom guess Warne’s selection correctly and I’m also hopeful we’ll have one or two more to pick from. CBT, now with some minutes under his belt, appears to be finding some good form and despite our injury situation, we'll have some interesting bench options all the same and perhaps he might even earn a start?


The Game:
I don’t think there’s any doubt that both sides have sufficient quality to punish any errors made and I think this will simply come down to which side best executes their game plan and who is most clinical with the chances they fashion. I’m going for a 1-1 draw with Nate to re-find his scoring touch and secure us another vital point. I think with both clubs and sets of fans riding high, it ought to be a great atmosphere though at present, there is some rain forecast.

If he's doing well, let him play out the season at Gateshead. Playing in a competitive men's league will do him the world of good, and he's got 6-9 games left, which he'll play by the looks of it. He's played the full 90 in their last 4 games. Better than warming the bench for our first team. If we have Waghorn & Washington fit(ish), plus NML, Barks, Gayle & Collins back in the next few weeks, and possibly JJ, he won't get a look-in anyway.
He could play at Wembley! (do the National League Playoffs go to Wembley?)
