Animal is a Ram

Well spotted! Clearly need my eyes testing as much as the ref 👓

I don't mind the offside one so much, it's marginal to the point that VAR would have taken about 3 working days to make a decision. The handball one is a little more egregious to me, wrong side of the pitch for the lino, but the ref has a decent view of it: Maybe he's a little too far (plus weather) to see for sure if it's t-shirt line or not...

Great strike, but that view gives a clear sight of the handball. No use complaining about it though.

He's probably still carrying a niggle from the Northampton game, plus played the majority of the Blackpool game, and most of last night. 8 days between games is going to be huge for a lot of the squad.

I can get behind this one. But for me, it's the two games against Barnsley and Charlton. They were especially galling given that we lead in both games. Even holding on to a draw in both would have put us 3 behind Portsmouth and 6 clear of Bolton. That being said, every team will have those types of results - the ifs buts and maybes. You only have to go back to Bolton losing 4-1 to Blackpool, scraping a last minute draw against Barnsley, or Posh losing 3-1 to bottom of the league Carlisle.

Boooooooo. Let’s worry about that when we get there.

Yeah, Waggy to start, Wash to get 20-30mins. Collo back for Easter weekend is it? He is risen!

This is an interesting thread - some of it rings very true to our experience of Couhig during our admin times.

Given the narrative around the stadium sale being it was approved, then somehow wasn't allowed retrospectively, I'm taking the comment about the independent regulator to mean that any big decisions like this would go through the regulator, stopping this he said, she said nonsense.

but you put it more eloquently than me. Well played Sir/Madam. I also tried to do the same with Brexit voters. That went about as well as it does with this Chris Martin poster.

I see it as a challenge, to try and talk some sense into them, and also to at least try and understand how they think.

Perhaps Warne thought, with the form we're in, we could implement our game on Bolton, instead of changing our line up to suit. But the latter is surely that's not something you'd have criticised Warne for doing, right?

I guess the Brexit voters don't want to sit here...

Also, two substitutes combined for the goal. Perfectly aware Elder wasn't one of those to come on at HT, just to head off that reply.

Who has played Saturday / Tuesday / Saturday. Sounds like he wanted more legs in midfield with Barkhuizen going off. Hardly a huge change in tactic, is it?

Because the players taken off took knocks. He was looking after Barkhuizen and Ward.

Well that's rather silly, isn't it.

Some people just love to sap the joy out of sport, I guess. Gutted to miss this one on being at a wedding, was sat monitoring the twitters during dinner, but the few of us Derby fans that were there celebrating on that final whistle notification.

Thought the ref handled that one well. Definitely a foul, definitely only a yellow given there were 2 defenders on the cover and not a clear goalscoring opportunity.

Rumoured figure of £20-25m. Apparently cost twice that.

Gonna move this to the Football Forum.
