    Southgate's dithering cost us the win. He needed to make a couple of substitution in the last few minutes to see out the game.

    Loved Lee Dixon's comment on the incident. That's not a yellow card, where is he suppose to put his foot. Could ask the same of Fozzie's alleged stamping, that cost him more than a yellow card.

    1of4 got a reaction from Bob The Badger in Question on getting a parking ticket   
    If we still lived in a society where companies cared more about their customer's satisfaction and not just about how much profit they can make from each customer. Then  I'm sure that once you'd shown you had paid to park your car but mistakenly selected the wrong car park. A morally run company would cancel the fine. But good luck with finding one of those these days.

    Not sure what your source is (please post a link) but irrespective, this entire conversation is about the run up to the election and Trump did not tell his supporters to get vaccinated before then, it was 3 or 4 months after when the real damage had been done.
    Even as late as April his aides were saying according to Politico:
    Former President Donald Trump’s unwillingness to pitch his voters on getting the jab has become the source of frustration for former aides, who lament the political benefits that would have come had he done so. It has also worried health officials from his own administration, who told POLITICO about a months long effort to get him to publicly take the lead; and medical experts, who say a full-throated endorsement could sway vaccine skeptics on the right and get the country closer to herd immunity.
    The nub of this is, was Trump responsible for tens of thousand of deaths because he refused to wear a mask or push his supporters to get the vaccine whilst in power?
    And the answer is an unequivocal yes of course he was.
    And has Biden tried (and not succeeded in fairness) to reverse that?
    Again the answer is yes, I've no clue what else, short of mandating vaccinations (which would never happen in the US) he could do.
    Especially as Governors who wield the real power in States like DeSantis and Greg Abbott as well as Senators like Ron Johnson and the Whip, Steve Scalise are still pushing back. And they are doing so because they're all rabid Trump supporters.
    A bit like the succession of Conservative radio hosts who are now dropping like flies after telling their Trump loving listeners that they didn't need the vaccine. You certainly don't to die and ignominious death that's for sure.
    There's a cognitive bias called primacy effect in which people better remember and give more weight to initial information they acquire. Trump spent months telling his supporters that it was all a hoax, and then that it would go away, and then with his bizarre exit from hospital and suppression of how sick he really was (according to insiders and medical experts) tacitly suggesting that you'll be ok.
    Saying on Fox News, an organisation that has haemorrhaged viewers to far right stations like OAN and Newsmax because they admitted Biden won months after he left power, is welcome, but too little and too late.

    So this explains why there's been nobody to man the ticket office. Mel's had all the office staff going through  the Facebook accounts of every Middlesbrough player.

    What are the BBC trying to do with the best sports quiz on the TV.
    Did the program's producers ask a group of none sports minded people to come up with ideas for the show?
    What was with the Paddy McGuinness chat show that was inserted in the middle of the programme, while the two teams tried to come up with the answer to a question. And where was the questions in the trampoline section of the show.

    Why are there posters suggesting songs, with a set lyrics that may have a semblance of a connection with Derby. That are then changed to make them more Rams related before being made to fit the tune of the aforementioned song.
    Isn't the whole point of the thread, the choosing of a song, that can be sung by the fans word for word as originally written. That then becomes synonymous with the club and it's fans.
    I do like both suggestions of Oasis'  Stop crying your heart out and Presley's Can't help falling in love with you.

    If Ivermectin is so effective in the treatment of covid. Why is it that the pharmaceutical company that manufactures it, a company that could make huge profits from it, is telling everyone that this drug doesn't work against covid. That the study of its results in the combating of the virus has used unreliable data.

    For all those who have their doubts about getting the coronavirus vaccine. Maybe they could follow the example of some anti-vaxers in the USA, who won't have the vaccination but are happily taking the drug Ivermectin, on the recommendations of a few tv pundits.
    People are being hospitalised after taking Ivermectin, apparently this drug's primary use is to de-worm horses. I suppose it's one way of not contracting the virus, poison yourself before you can catch it.
    The world just gets madder and madder. People are taking the advice of tv pundits over the advice of an expert.

    Renewed my season ticket last season, which was partially paid for with the refund from the previous season. At the time of purchase I was 64 so paid the standard full adult rate. I'm now 65 meaning I now qualify for the reduced senior rate. Not had any communication with the club about a possible rebate but I won't be annoyed if I end-up paying the full amount this season. I'll think of it as my little bit of help towards the clubs finances.

    Never have and never will lose interest in the team that run onto the pitch. What's presently happening at the club, regarding ownership, the issues around the clubs accounting and any other off field problems, I've determined I'll try to take no interest in.
    Yes I know that what's happening off the pitch can have an impact on what happens on it. But I'm taking a fatalistic approach to whats happing at the club. So until something actually happens, I'm just interested turning up to hopefully watch a winning team out on the pitch.
