These draconian measures being meted out in Austria are clearly not to protect people's health, keeping in mind that the Covid infection rate is highest in countries where most people are jabbed.  We have 82% double jabbed here, yet set records every day in infections and two thirds of the seriously ill are double jabbed.

Vaccinated infect others too, yet somehow the non vaccinated are a threat to the vaccinated who received their vaccinations as a protection against the virus seriously damaging their health.

Thank you for highlighting your complete and utter inability to understand the stats to prove exactly the opposite to what you were trying to above.

Our pr has been appalling throughout this whole business and we've let the EFL completely dictate the narrative. 

I can't for the life of me work out what the EFL is for.... 

- it doesn't write good, clear rules

- it doesn't police its rules effectively and reasonably 

- it doesn't negotiate good deals on behalf of its members 

- it doesn't prevent bad things happening to clubs

- it doesn't appear unbiased and puts out shockingly worded and insinuating statements 

It's disgraceful really. It seems to be nothing more than a clique of has-beens in thrall to vested lobby groups. 

The fact that we were represented in one of these and completely failed to move the agenda to our advantage is merely the latest example of rubbish performance by our people. No surprise there then.... ?

The EFL have got the upper hand in the PR battle as football is so tribal. Fans of other clubs can’t wait for other clubs to get spanked by the powers that be, regardless of what they’ve done. 

Whether it’s  9 points or 17 points, the extra 8 is largely irrelevant. It just takes us from a 1% chance of survival to 0%. 
 

the only way the admins should/would have agreed to it is if the EFL were pushing to have points knocked off next season as well. They’d have claimed Derby were acting maliciously and so deserve the extra punishment. The admins wouldn’t want to risk that so gave in. 

England should have thrashed the shackle draggers today. The squad England have got now is the beat I can remember. 
Just feels like they’re being held back by the style of play they’re having to go with. 

Beckham signing for the Rams 

All we need to do is win every other match and we’ll stay up. Simple. 

Looking at the squad, who is a potential to be with us in league one. If we could offer contracts to all those who are out of contract this summer:

roos - yes

allsop - yes

Byrne - maybe.  2 relegations is never a good look for a buying club  

ebosele - doubtful

Jagielka - maybe if extended past January  

Davies - yes

forsyth - yes

buchanen - no

williams - yes

bird - no

knight - no

sibley - maybe

Shinnie - no

lawrence - no

morrison - no

jozwiak - no

bielik - maybe due to injuries  

CKR - no

Stretton - yes

Baldock - yes if extended pst january

hutchinson - yes

Stearman - yes

Watson - yes

It’s the expected/default outcome given what we’ve been told previously. Yes, Morris said the P&S punishment would be 4 points, but we all know he’s economical with the truth. 
21 points was what we were told to expect, anything less would be a bonus. 
the appeal was warranted, even if it failed.

To all those moaning and crying about us going down to League 1, just remember, some of us have suffered a hell of a lot worse.  Why, at one time, we even went as low as Division 3, so thank your lucky stars, and get over yersens!  

 

?

Division 3. As in the third tier. As in league 1?

Loopring is getting a lot of love at the minute. As I don't really 'get' crypto I put a small amount in 2 weeks ago. I've now taken out that initial investment and still 250% up.

Something to do with a tie in with Gamestop or something? Like I say, don't really get it. It's now into gameshow territory for me, where i could cash out now, or just let it run as I can't lose money but if it bombs then I walk away with nothing! 

I think a couple of people need barring from the Beer Thread! Obviously can’t take their drink. 

Get Stretton off and on the bus to London now! 

Wouldn’t The criminal record be a blocker with the EFL?

want to know anything else?

Oh, it was me!! I went through tidying up old direct debits on my banking app the other day. It was just an acknowledgment email. 
?‍♂️

Anyone else just had an email saying your direct debit has been cancelled? 
not that it makes any difference at the minute as my ST is all paid for but just thought it was odd. 

Emery turning  them down as he doesn’t think they know what’s they’re doing right now. 
so they’re going for second choice Eddie Howe. At least he’s used to being bank rolled through the leagues. 

He still runs like a baby giraffe too 

I bet he didn’t even check it’s got RR engines. banker.

Why? If you want to see change you should be speaking up about it on there where you can make a difference, not moaning about it on here! 

I have been and get hit with a wall of resistance. Much like those on here.

You don't agree with Rt but you're still reading all their stuff? 

I just feel a bit uncomfortable with that. 

You will probably know because I do use my real name that I have been quite active on there. 

It bothers me that it's not possible to see who else is reading that stuff and what purposes they use it for.

I agree not enough people contribute but I think it's more than the 12 you mentioned.

As people are constantly told, “join and make a difference from the inside”

 your comment just smacks of the reasons why people are fed up with it. I don’t agree with a lot of how it’s run so I shouldn’t be a member nor contribute?

Are you a member, tinman? Do you contribute to it? 

I don't know as I presume tinman isn't your real name.

Yes, did, found it pointless for the many reasons already given on here.

How many are active members?

I posted earlier about John Richardson who joined years ago. He wasn't happy with what the trust and asked for his membership to be cancelled, he was still registered as a member over 12 months later even though he hadn't paid since he originally joined.

I also see people saying people should join if they are not happy and change things from within.

Is it possible to change the trusts policies or are they written in stone for all official clubs trust groups?

Judging by the active members mailing list and the people who co tribute to it, about 12

Byrne like the left back has a very tough job on their hands with how we play. 

Part of a flat back four when defending and pretty much a wing back when we have the ball.

He makes mistakes but he’s doing a decent job, the mistakes don’t surprise me given the amount of ground he has to cover after busting a gut to get forwards, being ignored l, our moves break down and he has to bust a gut to get back.

He will always be targeted because of his height, that’s unfortunate but a fact of life.

The other option is Festy, he’s got bags of potential and deserves game time. But let’s be honest here, Festy will be prone to the same/similar defensive mistakes, possibly more so as he’s young and learning.

I feel we are lucky, we have a decent experienced RB in Byrne and a youngster with bags of potential.

Right back is the least of our concerns right now!

Only one goal could be directly contributed to him being upfield and that was Birminghams second goal.

and yes I watched every goal we’ve conceded this season last night.
