Might as well cancel Football if that's handball, or design a straightjacket kit for next season. 

No referee can honestly say that's handball, the IFAB rules that they apply are shambolic.

I felt a bit sorry for the ref. He has no choice there. Unlike previously, when all he had to do was to decide if it's deliberate or not. No reasonable person looking at that can say for certain that it was deliberate handball.

Doesn't matter any more. Moaning managers, players, fans and pundits have got the handball 'clarity' they demanded.

That's absolutely terrible.

Loved 18/19, but I really don’t give a poo about Lampard losing.

But it's Chelsea. Twatty London types

I can’t see Wednesday finishing in the bottom 3 to be honest. 

After this weekend, they’ll only be 5 points behind us

Is Hughes injured? Nowhere to be seen in Watford's squad today.

That might make you even more pissed off! 

Mission accomplished?

This has pissed me off more than it should for any reasonable person.

Wasn't he the one who we wouldn't let play footsal? Or am i confused.

That was another fella whom we ducked off to somewhere rubbish after his dad blubbed on some TV documentary. Or something like that.

Liam Delap on the bench for Man City....take it that's Rory's lad?

What did we flog him for?

And after two minutes Sterling takes a dive. No booking, no criticism off commentators. As you were 

Why wasn't he booked?

Another sob fest

Eh..

It's in the non-Derby forum, that'll do. Merging it with the ex-rams thread while everyone is so determined to have big discussions about him is just going to turn that thread into yet another Martin thread.

We'll merge any other Martin stuff that gets posted into this thread until the frequency slows down enough to go into ex-rams.

For 'big discussions' read 'big whine'

Of course he will - any true fan would Get behind our new striker and be a huge fan of anyone scoring goals for us but that doesnt stop those of us  that did always being a huge Chris fan too and wishing things had turned out differently with him part of it.  No different to people who thought Hughes, Bryson, Russell, Vydra, Keogh even Malone shouldnt have gone when they did but have still supported their replacements.  Your comment suggests Chris fans arent Derby fans first and foremost which is daft

Well I can't help what you infer. Given that Te Wierik is already copping flak having replaced nobody in particular, we'll see what happens.

Shame we couldn’t keep him. He’d still be starting now with Waghorn out, and would arguably remain our best striker. Just hope whoever we bring in upfront is an improvement.

I doubt any new arrival will be given the chance to be an improvement.

Well I said on here I couldn't see how Tom Curran keeps his place. 

Since then he has been excellent. 

Yep. Ever since I suggested the wrong Curran was in the team.

Still not convinced that Tom Curran, as a bowler, deserves a place ahead of Jordan. 

He bowled pretty well today.

Just now, Mostyn6 said:

Yeah. End to end. All guts and thunder.  Shame Newcastle still can’t score! 

So I suppose you are rushing headlong towards that fiver.

Personally think its been a cracking game thus far. 

Is it really?

We need an impartial judge. 

I can do that. Though it should be noted I won't be watching it.

Willian is a great signing for Arsenal, especially on a free.

He only cost 55 jobs.

Fantastic fight back when the game seemed to be heading only one way.

As I said tho,I don't know why you keep dropping into threads dedicated to him,just to argue with die hard fans.

Just seems pointless mate...

Believe it or not, this is not a thread dedicated to Chris Martin.

Which is not a reflection on Martin, our slow laborious playstyle and lack of creativity is to blame in that regard. Martin was by far our most clinical striker. Which of our good wins last season came without Chrissy? I think what's silly is people clamouring to get rid of our top goal scorer when we don't have a replacement, and we're left with 2 worse strikers. 

Indeed it is not a reflection on Martin. Just an observation that predicting that we'll be toothless next season because of the absence of Martin is not would not really be that much of a change.

Not sure how you define 'good' wins (as opposed to bad wins?). How many of our defeats occurred without Martin? It's just as valid a question.

Not sure understanding why the club didn't over him more on a longer contract equals 'clamouring to get rid' of him.

How many goals did Waghorn score last season?
