Obviously deliberately chosen to replace "Like I/you said" which he uses much less these days. Whoever does the media training needs replacing. As a retired English teacher, I'd take the job on.
This leads me to another pet hate... I hear more and more people unable to pronounce the "th" letter combination correctly. Think becomes "fink". Bother becomes "bovver". This becomes "dis" or "vis". Do they not teach articulation these days at school?

Looking at some online posts at HT, I had to smile. The gist was "God, Derby are boring". I saw that as "scoreboard and stat driven opinion".
0-0 at HT. They'd had 1 shot which was off target. We were credited with 4, all off target although I viewed 3 of them as crosses. Those stats might persuade one to agree with the online opinion. I actually enjoyed the first half. We had 66% possession. Spent much of the half in their half of the field. There were some lovely passages of play which, alas, led to nothing but that was more down to Bristol's well organised defence than any great problems with our play.
Bristol were always going to have some passages of play, especially as they were the home team and couldn't really play the 2nd half hoping for the counter. That was always going to favour Derby as it would give us more room in our attacking third. That is how it turned out. They had 2/3 possession in the 2nd half, produced 5 shots, 3 on target but, IMO, only the Marquis header which was straight at JW, was dangerous and he'll be kicking himself for not scoring. At the other end we had 11 shots, 5 of which were on target, 3 went in and how Cash couldn't get it in off his thigh from a yard out will remain a mystery.
IMO it was a very good performance in a very enjoyable game which saw us showcase good defence and good attacking prowess. Here's hoping for more of the same this Tuesday and Saturday.

Looking at Sibs' performances, last season and this, at LB and LWB, I am starting to think that is where his future lies. Fozzy is 35 so would probably be cover next season if offered a new contract. Elder is 29 and has 2 years left on his contract and will be good competition for Sibs provided he (CE) stays fit.

Don’t get me started on use of English. The number of posters who write “must of, could of”, instead of  “have” or “they was good, or We was rubbish” instead of “were”. Grrrr.

Read the forum issues thread. It's @Boycie's go to solution to all issues. Apparently it does work 😂

Obviously deliberately chosen to replace "Like I/you said" which he uses much less these days. Whoever does the media training needs replacing. As a retired English teacher, I'd take the job on.

I had rather more hair in those days... 🙂

Thanks for reminding me...... NOT !!  😉

When I was teaching, I was the only English teacher at the Dutch school and sports college that taught UK English. The rest did the US variety. I was the only one who spent lessons early doors with 1st years teaching them phonetics so they got their English pronunciation correct.
Each and every sound we make is formed by a combination of mouth shape, tongue position, use or not of the throat..... easy when you know how. Problem is it's just not taught anymore.
 

Indeed. Not only sensible but, as David Clowes has said, it's his intention that the club be run in a sustainable, self sufficient manner, financially, and that should see wages kept at around this level against income.

With regard to the "glitch" showing Events Not Found when using the "Tickets & Hospitality" button, the issue has been solved. DCFC IT suggesting restarting my laptop and if that didn't work, delete cookies/cache. Restart didn't help but deleting cookies/cache did and the button now works.

You stupid boy. 😉

I'm still getting events not found... then I tried a different route. Instead of clicking on "tickets & hospitality" I clicked on Teams, then fixtures and results and then scrolled down to the Carlisle game and was able to buy a ticket.
Weird.

@Owen87ITK, any possibility?
