Yeah.  Thanks for that mate.
It's fair to say we each owe you a pint for saving us.
Lord knows where we'd be now, if it wasn't for you.
Big hugs

I've never had a downer on Warne.
I was up his arse for a good few months... and personality-wise, I still like the guy/his humour etc, unlike many.
Any hint from me re Warne Out has been 100% "Tongue-in-cheek"/"WUM", call it what you like.
Even now, I'm not at the "I think it's time to go" stage.
Even if and when I get there, it will be more out of rueful realism than full on rant.  That's just my make up, I guess.  I'll just shrug my shoulders and plod on.
But even for a home-only attendee (Lincoln away aside), I very much agree with @sage with his "Hard work to watch" comments.
I don't currently envy our stalwart home and away regulars, that's for sure.  Nor even the home regulars that have a bit of a trek to get here!  
It's hard work to motivate myself to take the 30 minute stroll to get there.
It's hard work to skip up the steps to my seat, with even the slightest hint of optimism or excitement.
It's hard work to bellow out a "Come on Derby".
It's hard work to even truly believe "We'll win this" before a ball is kicked.
For me personally, it's even hard work to work out whether it's Warne's fault, the player's fault, or a combination.  
...But it's definitely a hard watch!
Points (and subsequent league position) just about trump performance for me, but there will always be a cut-off point.  I'm not there yet, and I've no idea how close I am.  I suspect if that comes, it will be a bolt out of the blue moment?  
But I'm not enjoying the watch.  I'm not shouting from the roof tops that I'm a Derby fan.  It's now't to brag about... unlike 14/15.
As winter isn't over with yet, it's even hard work for me to proclaim that I'll attend every remaining home game this season.  There's still the odd "Bitterly cold winter's mid-week evening" to come yet!  
I missed a few of those in Young Nigel's latter days.  It may come around again this season yet.
Of course, my absence (should it happen) won't matter a jot, as I'm not important, and my money's already in the coffers.  And regardless of how this season pans out, I'm not currently planning to forego my ST renewal for next season.
... But it's definitely a hard watch. 
4th, yer say?  Touching distance of auto's, we cry?
Cling on folks... there may just be some entertainment around the corner!

Well thanks a million for bringing that memory back - that's Monday ruined.

Suffice to say that on Saturday I was pining for the days of John Newman’s Derby County, it was that bad. I met John once, and that was way too many times, as he had the effect of sucking out the will to live of anybody who was unfortunate enough to get too near to him. But the football, although embodying Newman’s personality vacuum, was better than this troach.

Today. 🥳🐏
 

The rescue dog one brightened my Monday morning. Top marks.

Maybe Clowes likes to reminisce? 😄

Not had chance to catch up on here since I left for the game about 14:10, but I have just checked to see that we are still 4th, still 1 point of auto, 3 points of ftop, and of course, we won!  Yeah! 🐏
We are absolutely on fire, and Mr Warne once again got his tactics spot on, so I fully expect this thread to be a jolly good wheeze!
Right... here goes... wish me luck, I'm going in...

Headstone incoming.  Good work, everyone.

What covered in dog mess, fag nubs and beer cans you mean

I'm still not over that one either. Thought it was such a a coup at the time....
What do I know?

Well that's something to look forward to....I'll put the cocoa on!

To be honest, a grown-up who can't spell 'their' correctly and one who spends his leisure time on the internet begging for attention from fans of a rival football team, is in no position to be calling anyone else embarrassing.
