I've always found it weird that people can hate or dislike someone they disagree with on the internet. I blame the government for running down the Pub industry. Back in t'day, these conversations would happen over a table and a beer but everyone was still mates about it. I've had hours of football disagreements with all my mates, especially Liverpool fans! But there's no hatred. People need to grow a backbone and stop being so fecking precious about being "shotdown"... so what if someone thinks you're wrong!!
Ed Dawes is marmite for me. In general, he's a pretty good commentator, and anyone who thinks he isn't, should travel around the country and listen to what some clubs have to put up with. Dawes is very high up on the standard of local radio commentary I can assure you.
He has been guilty of going rogue in commentary a few times, some attempts at "banter" fell flat, albeit the intention was good.

I do think it's very wrong that a former Barnsley youth player is reffing this match. So I'm pleased word has gotten out, meaning at least Madley will know he's under scrutiny, which has to be better for us than not. If there's a contentious call to be made against us, he will think twice. Here's what I put on Twitter yesterday evening. 130,000 views, so at least it's been noticed. 
 

Yes mate.
I'm in danger of repeating myself, so apologies...
He's a s*** ref... but only according to us fans.
We'll be as biased as he is.
But it's not official.  The club didn't report him.  He wasn't held to account.  He never got demoted due to a poor display and/or making wrong decisions.  He didn't get reprimanded for wrongly sending off CM.  (Nor do I recall that red card being rescinded, but I stand to be corrected on that).  On paper, he's no more than a s*** ref in the eyes of our fans.
There is no official record (Above and beyond the thoughts and opinions of a bunch of football fans on a forum) of him having a poor game.  His peers and hierarchy won't have it noted that "He has form" against us.

It's right that we fans slag him off.  My point is that the club should not make any form of official complaint pre-match, (as was being suggested by others on here) all because he once had a s*** game, and angered many of our fans.  That would be tin-pot, and would make us a laughing stock amongst fans of other clubs. 
 

Most certainly I do.  Hence my support for Rams fans kicking up a fuss and calling him a Bamford very, very loudly.
But my point of contention was mainly against the following quote of yours:
Maybe so... if we (The club) had previously made public and/or official complaints against him, (Re the Burnley game, or any other for that matter), and particularly if the authorities had then agreed our complaints were valid. 
But that's not the case, so I repeat, the club should most certainly not be "all over this in the media, citing Madley's incompetence...".
That would merely make us (The club) look very silly indeed!  We'd be labelled pathetic.  That's our (The fans) job, not the club's! 👀
Why, less than a full week ago, we were all on here taking a swipe at some fat bloke in charge of our last opponents who was doing just that.  Pre-match digs at the ref, with no cause nor reason to!
Now you're exclaiming we're wanting our own club to do the same?  It's a massive no from me.  Sorry!   🐏

A bit o' passion never hurt anyone...
 
"He's dropped it, He's dropped it!"
"Forest are all over the show!"
"Forest are in absolute ruins"
 
Just one game... And all in the croakiest, highest pitched, excitable rant imaginable!  Most unprofessional!   🤣

As VDL's header nestled in the back of the net: "Palace are absolutely aghast, they cannot understand it...and Nigel Martyn knew the dummies in front of him had let him down" is etched on my brain forever, it's my favourite line from commentary of all time.
You're right, #gottaloveGR

In Germany they have Arriva buses which are in stupendous condition in the main and dirt cheap.  According to the drivers they're dirt cheap and twice as nice as they bought the company and charge higher prices for crap boneshakers in the UK ,to subside better quality for half the ticket price their end.  Oh how he laughed.

It's all well and good taking the wee* as you've already had your single annual visit this season, but for some, this is life changing stuff, and I for one am not embarrassed to have provided such a critical, essential, and utterly selfless public service for my regular match-going comrades/friends/allies.
 
So there! 
 
 
*I changed that from the word "piss", as I am led to believe you have certain powers of banhammery around here, when it comes to the use of "adult vocabulary"!  
😁
 

Ignore the haterzzzz, quite a few people do use that path on a matchday and for exercise/dog-walking at other times, though it might come as an unwelcome surprise to the nobbers who ride their electric bikes and scooters at high speed along there. I do hope no-one nicks the warning signs......

Sorry, don't have a link...
Word in da hood is that there is to be an upcoming closure of the shared footpath/cycle path (Route 6), as it exits/enters the NE corner of Alvo Park heading for PPS (and onwards to City Centre, of course)... specifically that tiny little bit that dips under the railway bridge that has had scaffolding on it for months and months!
Apparently to be closed from 21:00hrs Sat 2nd March to 17:00hrs Friday 26th April.
Not checked our fixtures, but I'd imagine this will have some effect for those parking over that way and walking (or cycling) in on matchdays? 
No idea whether official/marked detours will be signed? 
 
The non-committal to the shooting of any messengers during these difficult times would be most appreciated.

Glad to see no one on this thread has posted the ref's home address online yet. But it's only Thursday I guess.

Madley gave Chris Martin a second yellow for being fouled and so it wasn't a straight red, so it couldn't be appealed and CM got a one match ban.

Yes mate.

It seems indisputable that he once played for Barnsley.  Fair do's.  Worth a shrug and a moan of it's own accord, even in an official (club) capacity.
I'm not sure however, that there is any actual record of him being biased against us... or that he "has form"... other than the equally biased views of Rams fans?
I take it DCFC have never made an official complaint against him?
I'd dare to suggest that a professional outfit such as Derby County (The Rams) Ltd would do well NOT to be "all over this".  That would just reek of amateurism, sour grapes, and come across as being very "Un-Mr Clowes"!  As a club, we're better than that!
Hey!  I'm all for us fans slagging him off on here.  That's part of our remit!  I'm happy to add my own name to the catcalls, and claims of Bamfordistic tendencies.  I stand with you, brothers and sisters.
But I wouldn't like to see my football club getting involved. 
If there's room for official complaint post game, then that's a whole different ball game.  The club could then go for the throat, as far as I'm concerned.

Folk walking from Alvo will dismantle the scaffolding and use it to batter away fans with. 
 
Well, they would have done in the 70's.

Under affiliation regs he surely shouldn't be ref.  Unless Barnsley booted him out, gave him 2 quid for a sandwich and laughed as they shut the door in his face.  In that case he probably hates them and it's all good.

Could you imagine the state of this place if we ever got Stuart Atwell again.

Yeah I agree from the clubs standpoint maybe it's worth just a quick call to the PGMOL or FA to double check is he impartial enough but it's not worth us getting into some proxy war via the media for it and creating a sideshow from what looks to be a really good match this weekend. I'd hate for this to boil up so much that the players get effected and distracted by this.
It's worth mentioning we actually have a positive record of 10 games (5 wins 4 Losses 1 Draw) with him reffing most recently the FA cup 2nd round win vs West Brom last season. That's the only time he's officiated us since 2016.

If I may be so bold, I'd like to poo-poo on your opinion.

East Stand...

 
South Stand...

 
And mentioning no names... West Stand...

I hate trains.  They're late, packed, dirty and there's always someone eating a vile sandwich stuffed with egg or onions.  In winter the windows are dripping with everyone's breath as the person opposite hacks their flu virus up to add some more.
Trains can feck off.
