    curb got a reaction from MaltRam in Genuinely shocked at low quality of Refs this season   
    I don’t particularly like Wildsmith for this reason. Good shot stopper, but He’s got the goalkeeper lurgy where their first thought is to waste time. Catch the ball then dive on the ground with it. Embarrassing, if we’re going to be consistent then call our own players out for it as well.

    It’s my opinion that AT FIRST they wanted us gone, that it would send a message to other clubs that they were not to be messed with. They’d done the same with Bury, but nobody really gave a sh*t, so they wanted a bigger scalp.
    When it started to get close the heat was turned on them, the turning point was the Bury MP standing up for us in Parliament, it still makes me teary eyed now, just writing this.What a great speech that was.
    After that they changed tactic and gave us every chance to survive, because it meant they could scuttle back under their rock and carry on as normal.

    You’ve seen it and yet you keep denying it.
    Disappointed with the decision of the INDEPENDENT commission.
    Regrettably determined that there were INSUFFICIENT grounds to appeal.
    But still produced two sets of fixtures, but you still deny they had an agenda.
    Everyone has had enough of it now, but forgive and forget, not a chance.
     I don’t want to further debate it, I’m done.

    I’ve said this before on here, if we had not stood up to the EFL as a fanbase we would have gone the way of Bury and we might not have been playing football on Saturdays. We have moved on, it doesn’t mean we have forgot.

    This and the Ipswich game have pushed me over the edge. As soon as the opposition score a goal they go into this cheating (? No not technically but it should be) mode. You might as well go home at that point, because you know what the next 87, 65, 40, 35, 20, 10* minutes are going to involve.

    any player that rolls back onto the pitch while ‘injured’ is obviously not injured and should be sent off.
    that goes for our players as well.

    curb got a reaction from SKRam in Genuine question. Am I being a prude???   
    Same here, I’ve been taking my son since he was three, he’s grown up used to people swearing, but I never really made a big thing about it. He’s now 23 and I know he swears with his mates when I’ve heard him online, but doesn’t swear in front of his mum, or when we’re at social gatherings etc. so it’s never been a problem. Funnily enough I don’t really hear him swear at football (apart from in songs). although it’s usually going on around us. I’m the same really, I swear when I’m at work occasionally with people who do the same, but I wouldn’t dream of it in other situations.

    Its funny you dont really notice it until you take your kids! But not good in a specific family area. If its a one off in heat of moment would let it go but if someone persistent out of character with rest of the area would probably report them.  
    Always going to get it at football but its everywhere these days, especially school snd online, so are you not going to take them out? At least at football its humorous usually.
    We're obsessed with supporting dcfc and have brought both my sons from age of two. Personally I hate swearing for the sake of it. Now mine are old teenagers.  They have always understood to make up their own word for "those" songs (as do I actually!). And we have always had the "what you hear in football stays at football" or you dont go rule. And have always laughed with them at one-off rants - there is nothing my youngest likes more than someone randomly standing up for a mad out of character rant. Similarly his favourite moment was a young kid standing up ranting about someone being a "scallywag".  
    Mine havent grown up to swear generally in life so dont stress about it too much as you'll spoil it for yourself. There's often enough to be stressed about on the pitch!

    Actually it is. Three sides of the ground are seating, with one side accepted standing. If you want to stand, go there. If not, you have to abide by the rules and sit, or not go at all. 
    There. Sorted.

    curb got a reaction from Indyram in Have Derby County been treated unfairly by the EFL   
    Of course we were, they retrospectively changed the rules after we were punished that weren’t actually rules at the time we committed the ‘offences’, and then changed other rules after we were punished in order to allow other clubs to not get punished.
    They were able to bully other, smaller clubs into oblivion and tried to do the same to us, but they bit off more than they could chew, making themselves look like the incompetent organisation that they are, in front of the whole country, Parliament etc.
    Unfortunately now that the furore has died down they’ve crawled back under their rock, and we’ve got on with our business of playing football again. IMO It would have been nice to have done something on the anniversary of the March to remind everyone of what a useless organisation they are, but in retrospect it’s probably better that we do keep our heads down for a while.
    If there’s any good that comes out of our predicament, hopefully it’s that no club will have to go through what we’ve been through, that they should be helping clubs survive when they get into financial trouble and not turning the screw on them like they have done up to now.

    Maybe the EFL will close the loophole whereby owners of clubs can not only not have an interest other English clubs, but also any other clubs under FIFA jurisdiction. Maybe then clubs like the red dogs, Watford and Wolves will get punished for doing things that were legal at the time?
