Fully agree if there's a requirement to have a vaccination passport it should apply to the entire population. Will this government put a bill before Parliament to make it a law to carry a vaccine passport. Of course they won't, this is a government that's lead by a buffoon and they don't want to antagonize their voters.

It would help if we were fit. I don't think we are any where near has fit enough as a team as when Clough had them running up and down the hills at Allestree Park.

Never. I've always looked older than I am, even as a teenager. 
At the tender age of sixteen I was stood at the bar of The Spotted Horse in Derby having just ordered a pint of Double Diamond when two young lads walked in. The barmaid immediately turned to them and told them to get out. As she handed me my pint, she said " how annoying it was when kids tried to drink while underage". All I could do was nod in agreement and sip my pint while keeping a straight face.

Does the statement that a lot of people take what 'reputable sources' say as fact, come from a reputable source and can it be taken as a fact?

Saw nothing positive in this game, that gives me much hope for the coming season.
A lot of the failings we had last season are still evident today.
Our present attacking options are more limited than last season. 
We desperately need a dominant centre-back, Wisdom is not and never will be a centre-back. Offering him a new contract is just another example of how poor this team is. As will offering contracts to the other CBs we have training with us, will any of them be are capable of completing a full season.
Our youngsters are not showing the full potential that many fans were hoping for, this is either due to being badly managed or they are not as good as we thought.
Personally I think some of the problems we have now, are due to the present inexperienced management. I'm not laying all the blame at Ronney's feet. The problems he inherited and now faces began as far back as Clement or even Mac 1 and have been compounded upon by every manager since.

Lets not stop the list there
The scandalous amount of taxpayers money wasted on a test and trace system that has been a total disaster.
The taxpayers money that was given to friends and relatives of government ministers for goods and services, that were either totally inadequate or never turned up.
The amount of times there's been an announcement by Johnson at a Downing Street briefing, only for him to change his mind the next day.

I worked with a guy who was often late, he too lived close to work. Once when the boss asked him why he was late, he said it was because he lived to close to work. He went on to explain that if he over sleeps by 10 minutes it's impossible for him make up that time on his short walk to work, unlike someone who over sleeps  that lives 5 or 10 miles away, as they can make that time up during their longer journey into work.
The boss just walked away  smiling and shaking his head.

The club like any other business can set the rules for who they allow to enter their premises. They could insisted eveyone had to wear a hazchem suit before they gained access to the ground, if they wished

Not another misfit ?

Southgate's stated that the players taking the penalties were the best during practice, so he had no problem with the younger players taking pens before the more experienced players. This is all well and good but  out of the three youngsters why did he have the youngest and least experienced player at number five. The last penalty is sudden death. This is the position that puts the most pressure on any of the first five players.

Normal standard of penalties.

One Italian down in a final, one to go.

Watching this on TV yesterday reminded me that unlike today there was no instant replays, not even for the goals. Which meant you had to watch the game more intently than you have to now in case you missed something  During a lot of games I now watch on TV, I sometimes will look at my phone or even read the newspaper, knowing if I miss anything important it will be a replay of it.
Which means  watching a game on the TV doesn't hold my interest the same as actually being at the game. Probably why I'm watching less and less sport on the TV.

Derby are going to apply to become the next city of culture. Have we got a chance of winning?I
Personally I think we need to sort out what is going to be done with the Assembly Rooms and the Becketwell Lane area before we have any chance of becoming the city of culture.

If we get past the Danes, it will be interesting to see how our one pace defence copes with it.

So when we play the gumps you don't feel any tribalism, you're happy to watch a pleasurable game. I'm sorry but football is all about tribalism. Like @Rammy03  I want my team to win, if they can do it playing exciting football all the better. But ultimately I want to see us win

Prime piece of real estate the Gas Works, great chance to come up with something original and what do we do.... petrol station and Starbucks.
They wonder why Derby is going downhill fast.
