May Contain Nuts

They're more like some bloke who's been barred for s******* themselves and projectile vomiting on people the last time they were in an 'exclusive' nightclub, who's tried to get back in a number of times but is always spotted by the bouncer and thrown on his arse, no entry.
One time he manages to sneak past the bouncer when he isn't looking, he's back in the club. He deserves to be in the club. That isn't enough though, he thinks he deserves to be in the VIP area.
And so he sets his sights, he needs to walk the walk so goes to the bar and orders a drink, it comes to £5 but he throws a £20 note at the bar and tells them to keep the change. That'll get people's attention. He's a proper big shot, one of the elite.
Approaching the VIP area, he lifts the cordon, those already sat there think "who the flip is this guy?", they tell him to leave, he refuses and goes to sit down in an empty seat. They take exception to this, drag him out of the seat and give him a good beat down.
The bouncers are called over, he cries assault. "Don't you know who I am? I was coming here before you lot were born!" The bouncers take one look at his bloodied face, then another before yes, they do  recognise him, but not in the way he wants them to. He's thrown out, again.
Everyone in the club who witnessed it is laughing their tits off at this delusional fool, everyone in the queue outside thinks "thank god we aren't that p****!"

We already know that should it happen, his song choice would be Lady in Red, although maybe he wouldn't think it appropriate for Derby and sing Black & White by Niall Horan instead.
I had to Google for a song with that title, pure coincidence it's sang by a Derby supporter. I have absolutely no idea what the song sounds like, but I imagine it's s***.

You'd think he'd lost every game he managed whilst looking and sounding completely clueless the way some write-off his prospects beyond being an assistant. Now he shouldn't even be involved in coaching at all!

I still maintain that Knight, Bird and Sibley showed more promise in six months under Cocu compared to the subsequent two years after him.
I’m not sure how he could have succeeded here. Promotion was impossible after that Villa defeat. Even if Cocu had us mid table at the time of his sacking, last season’s relegation was inevitable regardless of who was in charge.
 
 

Because he can still boast that he's the only 'person' at the club with two horns?

press conference is tomorrow, so I assume all other press stuff inc rams tv will also be tomorrow
probably meeting the players today & training

All Morgan Whitaker needed was a bit of confidence, but Derby fans weren't prepared to give him that.
A lovely goal today.

Mardiness because he celebrated scoring against us and made an ill-advised comment on social media last time out.
People claiming it means he 'hates' us, totally ignoring the context that he was here for something like 11 years, because we 'let him go' (read: got a good offer for him and decided to sell, because our priority was playing more experienced players with the aim of avoiding relegation)
Also ignoring that he was never really given a chance here, was handled appallingly by Rooney in his attempt to 'make his mark' - dragged off after being subbed on one game, in tears - with his commitment questioned, grouped in with Duane Holmes (fair enough he wanted out) & later Waghorn, a player who's never given anything less than 100% but got picked on because he was 'mucking about' or something in training one time.

...puts Plymouth top of the league.

There are sports where physicality would be a huge influence on the results - and others where that is not the case.
I bowled at professional level 25 years ago, and believe you me, Lisa John, Kirsten Penny and Gemma Burden were more than a match for 99% of male bowlers.
Most of the top tournaments were 'open' - only the national championships had men's/women's sections, and that was really only for the benefit of lower-skilled bowlers where the 'smash it hard down the middle and hope for the best' approach was in evidence.

It's weird because I agree with what you say in bold here. So why the ad hominem attack, accusing me of "spouting guff" ?(although full disclosure - i did have curry for tea). 
Literally all I have said is that I think it should be left up to each individual sporting body to decide its own rules around trans-gender participation
In contrast - you have said 
and
and posted several aggressive-sounding  responses to my comments. Perhaps take a step back and consider why you feel the need to attack me when I haven't actually said anything controversial
 

Which in no way did I advocate for. Yet you're accusing me of binary thinking? Clearly there are a multitude of sports with a multitude of physical characteristics which determine one's aptitude for a high performance level. And then a multitude of different stages of going through the process of transitioning gender, and within that a multitude of different physicalities of every human. So why should any of it be considered a binary choice?
I think it's fair to say - beware of anyone who wants to take either extreme position (ie ALL trans athletes should be allowed to compete in all gendered sports and NO trans athletes should be allowed to compete in all gendered sports)
I'm saying it should be legislated for by the individual sporting bodies according to each sport, and that's the end of it. I don't care what they decide, as long as it's about fairness. Literally the most middle ground position I could take, so interesting to see the reactions ?
 

Definitely been through a roller coaster of emotions on this during the week. I was extremely disappointed Liam didn’t get the job, even more disappointed they gave it to a League 1 specialist long ball merchant in what I thought was a knee jerk short sighted move. 
 
After a few days of sleeping on it and doing my research into Paul Warne, I remain gutted for Liam and think we’ve lost a good one who could take us all the way to the premier league and I’m sure he will do really well elsewhere. But I have a warm fuzzy feeling about the potential future under Warne. 
 
He isn’t necessarily the long ball merchant I thought, he seems to be someone who adapts to what he has. He’s driven ambitious and I love the fact he’s already talking to key players about wanting to get to the premier league. He’s likeable and will absolutely give his heart and soul to the cause. I hope for his own self preservation he keeps a bit of distance between himself and the club, but I’m not sure that’s really his way. This will be a tough unforgiving gig compared to his previous jobs but he wants to test himself and if he gets it right, he could be a hero and he’s the sort of character that would want to see it through to conclusion on principle and not flutter his eyelids at the next job.
His record at this level is unrivalled and I really look forward to seeing how he gets on.
As for Clowes, I was hasty to compare this to a Mel appointment. He’s given himself time he’s been considered and Warne is the man he clearly thinks will take us to where we want to be. He deserves our backing. Reading the minutes from the supporters meeting I’m really with what’s happening off the field for the first time in years. 
 
Bring it on!!!! ????????

One genuine concern about Warne is that he may not really have that much history / experience of bringing youth talent through, though it may not prove to be a problem in the short term.
That's just based on one bit in the podcast everyone's listening to though tbh, not fully researched.
