Passed out? is that the new fell asleep?

Exactly. Another twist of the knife by the tabloids.

Thing is, I know loads of regular home and away match-goers and they all rate Roos. I don't know anyone who isn't a fan (unlike say Martin, whereas opinion was divided.)

I do wonder about the IQ of some of our more vocal supporters. There was one just behind me in the West Stand last night and he was making such a nuisance of himself he hardly watched the game. But I bet he's got very strong opinions on everyone who played. 

When CKR's shot hit Jozwiak's back he yelled "You Polish c***" at the top of his voice in a stand full of families. There's no way Joz wouldn't have heard that. As I say, embarrassing.

That's more than embarrassing, its downright disgusting behaviour. Trouble is, unless you are prepared to potentially get into a confrontation/fight nothing is done.

Constantly working to improve his game, a great professional. 

People talking on other threads about being embarrassed by Derby County, I'm embarrassed when our manager has to bring a player off early to get him a bit of applause and confidence because of the way our fans have treated him in the past. As the stats have always backed up he is nowhere near as poor a goalkeeper as some fans state. These are opinions based on odd incidents, not an overall view of performances throughout a match. 

For me, in the system we are now playing, his handling and quick, accurate distribution are key. He gets the game moving again far quicker than our other keeper.  

As this forum proves if you give a pontificator a megaphone you more than likely have to suffer the consequences.

It’s all about Dylan Williams these days!

From the little I saw that lad has got talent.

Cashless ?

So Stadiavision is a new company headed by Mike Horton that specialise in promoting, selling & installing retractable roofs to existing stadiums. They have plans to go worldwide but the firm is based in Derbyshire and show Pride Park as their model.

It’s hardly a ringing endorsement is it .

Lets see how the season puns out .

 

Corrected that for you!

Brian Clough used to join in on occasions. 

Who's room was it, his or theirs?

Mate,there's been quite a few updates since then.

I don't think the question of when it happened is really in doubt now.

Updates? Any links?

Just so I know, have we decided he's guilty of something or not? Just so I know whether to be outraged or not. Thank you muchly!

I along with thousands of others have been putting my hand in my pocket for the best part of 40 years supporting this football club while trying to bring up a family and pay a mortgage. If I had Mel’s money I’d have spent it a damn sight more sensibly than he has so I’m not taking a lecture from the likes of you about it.

Sanctimonious claptrap. You spent money paying for a ticket to watch the team you chose support and that's the extent of it.

Good for him to get out of Liverpool. He's too good of a player to keep going out on loan season after season. Shame he'll be playing against us though. 

Parachute payments taking effect again I see. 

Let's not pretend he's better than he is. If a reasonable fee comes in then sell.

The three promoted clubs will be from the pool of four clubs: Bournemouth, Fulham, West Brom and Sheff Utd. I'd bet heavily on that right now. 

As for relegation, it's much more difficult to predict. I think you know roughly which teams will be down there though - us being one. 

Talking of Bournemouth, just read for the two years to 30th June 2020 they made a loss of £92m. Since then they sold 3 players for £50m but still a loss of £42m. Crazy money!!

I would think that is a Prem only thing as surely this wouldn't be an issue now as we just wouldn't register the youngsters?

I do wonder what would've happened if we had say 30 actual players of professional standing then had this emabrgo limiting it to 23, would we just have to leave 7 players out?

We would keep what we had but able to add anymore. The ruling is they accept you need a minimum of 23 to compete.

‘Sibley’s on Countdown. Your defence is terrified.’

40,000 Rams fans back at Wembley, loud and proud.

What’s not to like?

Tyler manager, Jourdan assistant ?

Imagine the length of the team talks though...

Seemed to be a lot of area locked.  Are these being saved for non season ticket holders or have they been sold? Seems a high number of sales if they have been.

Only east & west stands open I think

Oh you think we can find them a club? So they’ll just do us a favour? And find his wages in their budget? Pay for his relocation costs? Use him in their squad ahead of players they have already?

My heads gone on this. People can’t seem to grasp some simple economics and some straightforward contractual law

No guarantees of course but Its is feasible that a few league 2 teams may rate two or three of our better youngsters? Wages wont be high. 

Yep, I'm afraid we need to release some of the youngsters who look unlikely to make it. Sad as some may be late developers, but essential.

He ran fast two or three times as well to be fair

This. I don't know how anyone can even try and defend the indefensible.

So, if we had beaten Villa at Wembley would he still be diabolical or are we being Captain Hindsight? 

For me bring exiled on the south coast, I view it as what would I spend if I lived within decent travel distance to go to every game? Probably at least £50.00 per week. So to pay rams TV prices and NowTV prices is for me is a no brainer.
