Boro… just a shlt Newcastle. Or a shlt Sunderland.

Leeds. We dont have enough years left on this planet to explain why.

Juventus… 73… cheats

Forest… 

I lived and worked in Wolverhampton late 80s early 1990.

When Derby were playing too far away to get to or fixtures were on differing days or evenings I would find a spot on Molineux South Bank and take in the match and generally great atmoshphere.

It was in the days of one Steve Bull marauding his way through defences and causing mayhem. He was a sight to behold. 
So, yes, soft spot for Wolves.
 

Sidenote… I played a charity game v Wolves Ex Players run by Mel Eves. Former player.

Some well known ex Wolves players from 70s played. John Richards who also had a spell at Derby was there. It was a great afternoon and my whole average football career highlight happened in this match. I attempted a hollywood pass, outside of the boot swerving 30 yards ( might have only been 10 yards but its my story so Im sticking with 30) to our centre forward.

Think Roberto Carlos style… go on… imagine!! 
By some fluke it worked and we scored our only goal of a 12-1 defeat. 12-1 against this lot felt like a draw really.

Anyway… the planets 2nd ever million pound player Steve Daly ran past me just after THE pass of the game. Nay, pass of the decade… and whistled and said ” bloody amazing that was”. 
 

We made a pile of money for Children in Need and professional footballers thought I was amazing. Lol.

Happy days.

When’s the last time Derby had good news ?

It'll be a bit fresh Monday night I believe. Might have to resort to the hip flask.

Nesh 

Ireland made the All Blacks look average. Never seen so many mistakes from an All Blacks team.

England have the players but im sure Eddie has lost the plot. Manu on the wing and Farrell has to play no matter what ideology! 

Springboks remain the team to beat... they also remain the most awful to watch.

Wales huffing and puffing today to beat 13 Fijians... then celebrating like they have won the world cup. Embarrasing.

I love to leap in when anyone uses the word “disinterested “ wrongly though I assume you are quoting.  “Disinterested” means impartial or unbiased, like a cricket umpire. “Uninterested” means having no interest or concern about something.
 

Interestingly, (and confusingly) if you’re a word nerd like me, the noun of “disinterested” is “disinterestedness” but the noun of “uninterested” is “disinterest”.  Therefore players can appear to be uninterested and play with disinterest.  I watch my nearest club West Ham with disinterestedness because I don’t support them, they are just the closest to my home. Phew, I need a lie down now.
 

 

I was indeed quoting and Im not over sensitive to grammar policing. Can be quite amusing. 

In general my point is understood. 

” disinterested” while earning umpteen million a year. Read that word again ” disinterested”.

Me and modern football are getting so far away from each other. Spurs meh... footballers who are disinterested...meh.

Take them for every penny Nuno. You are not the one at fault here. 

Im leaving this thread now. It disinterests me. 

Flights and hotels booked. Finally after 2 years able to come back to uk to visit family and friends at Christmas.

Been a rough 2 years for many and my lot have been no different. Going to be a lovely but emotional trip. Tickets booked for myself and the lad for boxing day v West Brom.

Is it right he's the owner of Carolina Panthers NFL team that is run by Tom Glick, my ITK tells me ? 

Tis totally correct. Also brought GSE from Appleby who still runs the news sports management comapny along with Sam Rush involvement.

Could be worse Stockers, you still can't get Channel 4 in Ashbourne.

True story that.

Strange day. I live in Sweden and pay a monthly subscription to Rams TV. Never miss a match. 

Then today my Rams TV said ” broadcast not available in your location”!! Huh? WTF

So instead of getting cross and frustrated I dropped an email to the address they provide for support! That email bounced.

Then I got cross and frustrated. Seriously Rams TV. Thanks for ruining my weekend to twots.

I rarely comment after matches but this one has got me out of my chair.

Thats not even a decision for a ref and linesman to make. Its as clear as day. I thought the Ebosele one not quite as clear.

Amazing that suddenly we are not getting any penalty shouts at all. Plus the Johnson lad not getting a second yellow. It does start to add up for me.

Again very proud of the lads currently representing our club on the field. We really couldnt ask for more effort. If we dont get the extra points deduction there is a chance we could get out of this yet.

My Derby County expectations have dropped to such a level I thought this might be a Connor Sammon thread.

Just a bit too early for me Mozza sadly.

Blimey Utch. Sorry to hear that lad. Its been a stable place of employment in Uttoxeter as far back as I remember. Strange times we live in.

Maybe not, however sales would fund future projects?

I would look into a basic crew neck t shirt version as well, yellow stripe through the middle with no buttons, bet you could knock a few of those out around £30 a pop. 

Id love that version. Like a 60s retro style but in 1884 colours.

Im no expert in employment law. However, if I was to go out drinking and put myself into a situation with my work colleagues where I ended up injured and unable to do my job for many months Im pretty sure id expect to lose my job. 

In Sweden... Public sector jobs have the same pay for each relative position regardless of age, sex.

Private sector heavily regulated on fluctuating salary offers.

Blimey. Was this so uninteresting?

She has a very famous / infamous relative from Derby County history.

She is the great grand daughter of Sam Longson.

They’ve both recently been ducked ? ?

Its not the answer im looking for but as your answer amused me and we have just beaten Reading you can have half a point Pearl. 

Trivia time. No googling.

What is the connection between Charlie Dean, Englands ace womens crickter and Derby County?

Pay off Keogh in 1 penny pieces and make him drive (oh sorry he cant) to the club every week to collect his next 1 pence.

Buy the stadium off Mel and sell it to my wife, then get her to sell it back to me, then sell it to my son, then back to me, then to me son, then get him to sell it to my wife, then back to me and keep doing this on and on and on live on TV in the car park at Boro in Steve Gibsons parking spot..

Put on a gig at Pride Park with Paul Heaton headlining it and the Wedding Present as support, give all the tickets away and get @Inverurie Ram to be the host of it all.

Send over a crate of Belgium beer to @Eddie, a pink kit to @B4ev6is and some koi carp to @David 

The rest I would just waste on stupid stuff.

Its not the best post ever, but its  definatley in the top 1.

Was it on fire? 

The funniest thing in football ever, ever... would be.... Derby survive relegation even with a points deduction and EFL pets Middlesbro go down.

We have the Big Polish midfielder to return yet, plus maybe new owners and some help in January if we are allowed free agents.

My thoughts exactly Boycie.

One of these is a real football fan, the other is a wally, to put it politely. 

Westwods club doing their best to join Derby in League 1 without points deduction. What an utter utter muppet.
