That’s exactly why Ravel Morrison has had a failed career. Amateur stuff.

Samba is embarrassing. 

Ravel can just leave the club now

Watching back,samba should have been off for that.

Samba should have seen red. Awful refereeing to book Lawrence instead.

Hinchcliffe saying Cooper looks bewildered. How would you know? Every expression is like a bulldog licking piss off a nettle.

If you book Lawrence, book Samba twice 

And why the duck aren't you sending Samba off for that?!

we're heading north on the M1 right now, just beyond Barnsley. I think then we'll head back south, down the A1 and pass Peterborough probably at high speed, Wayne might be in danger of a ticket. After that, well we'll see. It might be the A15 back up to Hull - depends on the traffic. Or maybe we go down to the M25, take the M4 West  (I guess we'll take a detour round Reading and obviously give Bristol a wide berth) and fly past Cardiff towards the valleys. Bit of a party in the Mumbles, then turn round, onto the M5, and take the long drive back up to the North East and do wheelies on Mr Gibson's large lawn

I find it interesting that the 17 day window to stop liquidation, handed down by efl coincides with the transfer window.
It means the efl are demanding that the Derby sell their best players for a lower price, as top price will not guarantee, that the sale goes through before the window closes.
Even once Derby sell players, the transfer embargo isn't lifted so the efl gives Derby zero chance of signing replacements.
Efl know Derby must sell to raise funds to get through to the end of the season, so they give a 17 day window.
Plus they know any buyer will not complete the sale in 17 days.
The efl are sick of Derby doing well after the points penalty that they handed down, they don't want Derby to survive and so they reduce the teams strength still further by forcing the sale of best players.
The efl claims that they have the best interests of Derby at heart, a complete lie.

Close the thread I see more embargoes and points deductions coming

This feels like the straw that breaks my back

Embargos- isn’t that a continental dish ? I bet they’d sell them at Arsenal 

Don't overlook the need to submit all accounts up to and including the 19/20 season to the EFL by the end of the month
 
In their last season in the PL they made a £11.5m profit in the accounts. Using Gibsonomics (4 teams in playoffs so they had a 25% chance of going up), that equates to £2.875m. However, using the real probability of the going up via the playoffs (beating Leeds over 2 legs and Villa in the Final) it actually equates to £0.

If I were the Admin I would just say sod it... sell it to Ashley clear the hmrc then tell the EFL, Gibson et Al to deal with him and see how far they get. 
 
 
 
 

Was a fair bit of negativity when his name first came up a while back.  I watched him in the Man U game the other day and thought he was one of their best players and had a great return after nearly 2 years out. He'll probably score an OG, give away a penalty and get sent off next game. 

Would you re-sign Baldock, not really done enough for me. If we can offload him and Marshall and bring a couple in that would be fine...

Winning begets winning. It's never good to lose games of football. If we get a tie against Man Utd, it's probably good for us financially too.

Beggars can't be chooses

I'll try and dig out the last update tonight for comparison. 
Foz is a funny one. His score his brought down because often when he has a poor game it really is an absolute stinker.
I think Byrne, Jozwiak and Kazim are on an upward trajectory (despite CKR being 22nd).
Davies and Jagielka are both just consistently very good.

Okay then, we're just past the halfway point of the season and with a Cup weekend in store now seems like an opportune time to update you all with how we are seeing things as a collective.

Please not Rooney was all I could think as soon as I saw this.
The longer other teams go "Derby, bottom of the league, old men and teenagers, we'll win that easy" the better.

OMG. 
If Rooney gets it, having earned fewer points in the month than Wilder achieved at Boro, does that mean another Gibson law suit?

I think the administrators need to look the word imminent up in a dictionary!

I agree stay as subs - winning formula, tiring opposition and all that my only caveats are I would love to see Plange on the pitch at the same time as Morrision a little more with his movement off the ball and Ravels eye for a pass.
Maybe try Morrison five minutes earlier than the CKR for Plange switch a couple of times
