Music has the ability to take you back to moments decades ago. Graham Richards' voice does the same and much, much more.

Nothing will give me greater pleasure today than finding out that this man has lost his job, will get a football banning order and will soon be sentenced after pleading guilty.
It's about time more people realise that actions have consequences. 
At the same time, massive kudos to the regular Sheffield Wednesday supporters who have now raised over £18,000 for the Bradley Lowery Foundation after being appalled by the idiotic behaviour of one fan. 
(I thought there was already a thread about this but can't find it.)

First half wasn’t Warne’s fault, but I can’t explain waiting til the 70th minute watching the exact same performance as the first half before making a change.
Then he makes the change, and he puts Sibley wide when the entire problem has been the lack of any option or creativity through the middle making Cambridge’s life so easy. 
Baffling. 

Great post. I'm really pleased to see the hate-filled comments have been removed from this thread. What a nasty, horrible, self-righteous bunch of entitled fans we have amongst us. Fair enough, criticise his work if it makes you feel better, even create a petition to send to Radio Derby if you truly want him gone, but there really is no need to attack the man himself. Whats he done to you? As David says, he's one of us ffs. 
Besides if I came into your places of work, sat at the end of your desk and watched you work all day, I'm sure I'd be able to find loads of things you do that I would disagree with.  
But I would be respectful enough to keep my opinions to myself as your line of work is your line of work, and I have no skin in the game.

Whilst we bash away, mostly anonymously behind the keyboard, just go take a second to see what Josh Vickers is going through right now, Ed, just like us all is a real person. 
Regardless of how you feel about him as a person or his commentary style there is absolutely no need for personal stuff towards a fellow Derby fan.
Seriously, come on, have a word with yourselves.
 

Very sad news for Josh and his family, the support from his colleagues will be needed at a difficult time like this, sometimes there’s more to life than football. 😔 
Perhaps something could be arranged by fans to show support at the home game? Applause at the 31st min or something?
 

Graham Richards had a vocabulary to die for and a great turn of phrase.
Ed Dawes and RD do an excellent job for local radio and don’t deserve the vile abuse they get.
Turn the radio off if you have a problem.

Rather have Ed than Dave Fletcher .
Ed is a Derby fan 
Nothing wrong with Ed Dawes 

I agree. I think someone has had a word in Warne's shell-like and told him that Derby fans won't ever accept the hoof/panic/chaos-ball he's been trying recently.

40% possession at home in League One.
We don’t have the League One Guardiola.
We have the League One Phil Brown.

Me in spades. And exactly why I have very little love for the national team also. 
Being in the Premier league and fighting to finish 17th every season doesn't appeal at all. They're welcome to it. Much prefer to be in a competitive league where anyone can challenge given a good spell of results. Sounds weird, but I would much prefer to be cramped into a tight stadium with the smell of football all around rather than paying 60 quid to watch in a souless bowl full of Asian tourists taking photos.

Not really sure why anyone should be particularly precious about us getting into the Premiership.
It lost its meaning and relevance for me years ago.

David Clowes made the (incorrect) decision this time last year to move away from a possession based approach (which suited our squad much better imo) when he hired Warne. He knew what he was losing. He knew what he was getting. Since then, this chaotic, maverick style has ensued. We'll win some games sometimes, like last weekend, but more often than not we'll lose and be frustrated - it really is a tough watch. Nothing new implemented this season, no sense of a renewed direction and a totally wasted summer (Warne's first) that should have been grabbed by the scruff of the neck the minute after the last kick of last season. 

It could be argued that we need to forget football for another three seasons while Warne is in charge! 

He is a hero, because without him buying the club, we would have no club, so in that regard yes he is a hero for me, for saving a club I have been following for the past 45 years.
