Just watched EFL Greatest on Sky Sports, the Bryson hat trick demolition  of Forest 5.0 game. Had forgotten how good we were. Still not sure what Keogh was up to during the Bryson hat trick celebration. 

Obviously a great game.

But the one that sticks in my mind from that season is the Blackpool game at home.

1-0 down at HT and then we came storming out after the break to win 5-1.

I remember being in the concourse at HT absolutely adamant that we were still going to smash them - really weird feeling.

It entitles you to one free pint in The Castle and Falcon between the hours of 8 and 10 (AM or PM - you choose). But not on weekends.

Or so I've heard.

Horrific. The NRA annual conference is next week, timing is everything. No doubt nothing will happen.

I remember watching a documentary - I think it might have been Louis Theroux, actually - where they went along to this conference.

Ironically, guns were not allowed in the venue for safety reasons.

Venom: Let There Be Carnage.

Fairly standard superhero film, although it wasn't as visually impressive or as action-packed as some others in this genre.

It did have a surprisingly good cast though (starring Woody Harrelson and Stephen Graham), and there were some funny moments.

6/10 - it was alright.

Absolutely horrible.

And, while we can all say with ease 'ban guns', it's just not as simple as that.

Unfortunately, the NRA are just so powerful over there. Do a little bit of digging and most of the politicians have some sort of financial link to them. They may as well have a seat on the senate to be honest.

Edit: look at the state of this - https://elections.bradyunited.org/take-action/nra-donations-116th-congress-senators

Not to mention, it's so ingrained in their culture that it would take decades to transition over to a gun-free society.

The thing that frustrates me is this common viewpoint of 'take our guns away and it will soon be goodbye to all of our human rights'. It's a hell of a jump that I physically can't comprehend.

Not put that much money behind it so far. But heavily used social media. 
It exceeded all expectations even before the marketing campaign began, despite Lockdown getting in the way. 
 

people love a balanced drink that reminds them of holidays abroad. 

That's actually a spot-on description.

I'd never really thought about it before, but it does have that 'restaurant/bar abroad' sort of vibe. Same with Estrella for me.

The marketing team behind this beer needs a pay rise. Instantly.

 

 

I actually know one of the Molson Coors 'Brand Development Managers', or whatever they're called, who worked on Madri's promotion.

Before it blew up, he said that that we would soon be seeing it everywhere. I had never even heard of it at the time.

I get the impression that they've just poured a ton of money into it, and prioritised more modern influencer/social media-driven campaigns.

I am grateful to Steve Gibson for doing what's right, for standing up for the little guy, and for making sure that clubs do not gain an unfair financial advantage.

A recent favourite

Don't ban me please

Also, last time he was in League One (with Bristol City a few years back), he scored 14 goals in one season ?

Anybody know the world record for longest time of testing positive?

Currently on 13 days and starting to think I might have a chance!

Lateral flow or PCR? Assuming the former.

With PCR, you can be testing positive for weeks, if not months.

Just me that thinks a two-year football banning order seems remarkably lenient for someone that ran on the pitch and nutted a player?

Well the guy who punched Kelvin Wilson got three.

From Ilkeston, Derbyshire ?

Off to Bath for my 30th at the end of June with a few mates.

Never been before, but heard it's very nice. Anyone have any recommendations besides the Roman baths?

Keeping it ship shape, as per the lease?

 

Phenomenal marketing move from MJ Robinson Structures.

Tagged both the club and CK, and got the hashtags in, knowing full well fans will share and speculate about what this all means.

10/10.

Vardy's texts (that didn't fall in the sea) have been released. It's truly amazing to see her take someone to court because she's unhappy that Coleen made her look bad, and then have the court case make her look even worse. She really is making her own bed here

 

If that's not an open and shut case, I literally don't know what is.

"Leak the Maldives stuff."

Noticed a lot of outlets like Sky Sports have removed the ability to comment on stories about the lad.

And that should tell you everything you need to know about why this is still an issue.

My (probably wildly optimistic) hope is that the players are already aware of what sort of deal we can put in front of them once the ink is dry and if it goes through before the 31st of May we see a flurry of renewals in short order.

Not everyone is going to stay. Anyone with a Premier League offer on the table will likely be off and good luck to 'em. Hopefully we keep the bones of a decent squad together and Rooney and Kirchner have a few less problems to solve in the transfer window than they though.

Percy and Dawes have both confirmed - as we all suspected - that the players are holding out for Rooney to commit his future. So I think we could be surprised at how may will still be here next year, besides the obvious ones who will almost certainly leave.

And I think you're right - they will roughly know what we will be able to offer them.

Get the stadium sorted > new contract for Rooney > players re-sign ?

Since this is a quiet news day ? I'll report that we have a new fall guy at DET:

https://www.derbytelegraph.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/signing-derby-county-duty-bit-7090919

Why isn't he asking questions about the stadium hold-up?

And why hasn't he removed those godforsaken ads from all over the website yet?

Absolutely shocking journalism ?

I wonder if the Mykonos lads were celebrating last night? ?

How many comments will we now get about "conditional on the sale of the stadium"?

Just let people enjoy this one for the time being. It's a ray of light that we haven't had over the past 9 months.

Well given that in two years time the very best that we could achieve would be to get promoted to the Premier League from the Championship then I'd say that he's talking out of his arse...

Also, if I hear a gunshot and walk outside and see a Bloke A holding a gun, standing over a Bloke B who has a gunshot wound and Bloke A says "Yeah I shot him" then I probably 'believe' that Bloke A shot Bloke B. Of course I might be equally as suspicious if Bloke A chucked the gun in the sea when I appeared...

Regardless of the technical inaccuracies, it's just a needlessly sly little dig ?

Do we have any progress yet?

 

Do we have a stadium or not, are we going bust. It's really dragging on now, it was bad enough searching for a buyer and now it's just ridiculous.

We're not going to go bust.
