hang on to the bus though

So, if my understanding is correct we are in a worse position both on and off the field than when Clough Jr was here in 2013.
Marvellous.
Mods- can you please add the word ‘Not’ to the title of this thread. I reckon there’s three places you can put it. 

Confirmation that we haven't submitted our audited accounts - despite having an extended deadline. 
As much as it pains me to say it, we should be hit with the harshest punishment possible. Mel Morris and Stephen Pearce have got such an easy ride from the fans considering what they have done over the past 12 months, including trying to shift the club on to very obvious charlatans. 
We have a group of honest pros & kids shouldering issues today that were due to a Derby County team and Mel Morris of yesteryear. It's absolutely shameful to see. I absolutely cannot stand Derby County in its current form. It's a disgusting stain on English football. 

Hi Mel! ?

They’re better off away from the place! ?

Just so you know, cup finals are actually played at Wembley.
... The new one, that is. 
The one with the arch?  No?  That London?  Play Off's?  No?  Still not familiar?
 
More info here, mate...

I'll wager between 30 and 33000

There are still plenty of the older fans that struggle with tinternet and are still unsure about going to places with thousands of people around them. 

Black seats
Wont be that many empty seats.

I’m sorry, but there’s no way the attendance was only 22,000 today. I’m usually within 2-4 hundred out on judging the gate at Pride Park. Today I would guarantee there was somewhere just over 26,000 in the ground today. My ticket would not scan again today, neither did the people’s in front of me, so maybe that’s why tickets were not counted in the official Att figure ?

Forest game is separate to any on your season ticket. It was sorted before they let us renew the season ticket. 

I’ll admit that when you scored your winning goal it was quite loud, the celebrations after the final whistle too.

Here's a screenshot of my spreadsheet from last season if it can be read. Was merely a therapeutic exercise for my own benefit, trying to be as unbiased as a Derby supporter can possibly be, using match reports and consensus after the games. Just seemed to confirm my feeling that over the course of a season we don't get the rub of the green.
 

It doesn’t matter for even 1 milli-second what sort of “character” Fozzy has..
I have to say, I have just watched the game and honestly, thought that there was 1 penalty we probably deserved and that Fozzy was lucky to stay on the pitch. 
 
to say It another way, if their full back had got away with the same sort of challenge as Fozzy did I don’t think I would be that bothered. 

I’m sure you could create a similar list with pretty much every team in the league. Bad decisions go against every team pretty much every game, that’s just how the reffing is in this league. No reason to single out the Forest game. 

I don’t think Fozzy means to stamp down, he’s not that sort of character. What I meant was the way that it looks to a VAR official who won’t know the characters of each player. He looks down, then steps on the Forest player. I know it wasn’t intended, but that wouldn’t stop them giving it.
He absolutely could, but that would mean a sub and players not in same positions etc

Regarding the Fozzy incident, I believe that it was accidental.
Let's look at the player's character, he's being at the club for many years and I can't recall him ever losing it and being aggressive to another player, in fact, sometimes I wish he'd show a bit more. Nor was this incident preceded by another incident, to which he could feel aggrieved and to lose it for a moment.
Only he would know whether there was any intention, but for an ex team mate, Bent, to call him out, I'm disgusted with that.

Buchanan.

#Ref's fault
#EFL's fault
#Sky's fault
#Mel's fault
#Ticket Office's fault.
How about we all take a long hard look at ourselves, before coming to the right and proper conclusion that it is in fact, all Bielsa's fault!   ?

Seriously?
On condition that we complete the season... You're on!
I'll even give you 2-1.
£5 if you lose.  £10 if I lose.  Winner chooses the charidee!
Deal?  ?

A pre-season friendly against Notts County is little compensation for what happened today.
FWIW I think we tend to be hard done by by referees and do not get the rub of the green, and it seems a nonsense to say decisions even out over the course of a season. The question is why don't referees give us the penalties we should be getting, as well as not giving us other big calls? My expectation is it's because we're generally too quiet as a team and don't intimidate the officials in the way many other teams do. Should this be something we work on in training? Maybe? Should it be something Rooney talks about pre-match to put it into the referee's mind? Maybe.
 

Not paranoid much. 
We've already had a penalty, I remember watching it being converted by Tom Lawrence, unless the EFL have briefed refs that to give us penalities in friendly games is OK but not in league games. 

I don't think that anyone has mentioned the pull on Stretton for their goal. He swung a leg at the ball, but was pulled back and missed it completely.
I think VAR would have given us 2 penalties and disallowed their goal. The Fozzy incident would be questionable, in his defence, he was falling backwards and not looking where his feet were.

I can’t comment about this game as truth be told I missed it today (I’m gonna sit back and watch the full 90 and will add thoughts if I think there’s anything relevant to say), but I wrote about Tuesdays game that I think refs struggle to get key decisions correct.
BUT I think the problem is that you’re talking about 1-2 instances in a game when you are asking the ref to give a decision your way and hoping for a bit of luck. If you can make 3-4 instances when you are forcing the ref to make a decision then you are more likely to get decisions. We have to make defenders commit more and force the refs hands more in my opinion.

You think the EFL condone match fixing in their leagues because they don't like the way Derby is run? And I should wake up? Sheesh...
