My great grandad supported Derby in Victorian times, my grandad in Edwardian times, my dad in Georgian times and me in Elizabethan times. It’s in my DNA. Wonder if I’ll still be around when Charles or William is crowned 

At long ,long time we are looking and playing like a football club,and a football club who knows which direction we are heading in.

I mean, Rooney is clearly still a work in progress as manager but to demand he be sacked given our current situation is absolutely mental. The club is unstable enough as it is without firing the manager who, lets be honest, doesn't need us as much as we need him right now.

Suppose we sack Rooney, what then? Who do we get in given the fact that we have no money to spend, no owner, a squad where some of the first 11 have contracts running out in Jan (with the possibility that we will be unable to resign or replace them) and everything is generally on fire?

Nobody good is walking in to this mess. Be realistic.

Right,look at Umai Emery,turned down the Newcastle job because that team is in a mess and we would have one hell of a job convincing a manager with experience to come to this mess

Frustrating thing is we've gone away to WBA and Coventry and got well-deserved draws. Then this tonight.  There was almost an inevitability about it, like watching a slow-motion car crash. 

And  Blackburn who beat us recently were turned over by Fulham tonight ¡,7  1

Tonight feels defining in a bad way. Barnsley boosted by manager change but we still needed to get minimum 1 point out of that. We’re not having any luck at all, could easily have come away with a draw, but as Rooney said in his interview (after dropping the F Bomb), big portions of the last 3 games we’ve been off it, we’re not playing with the same verve, we’re not defending like our lives depended on it. I think we’ve lost something, maybe it’s the small squad and the weight of the club situation getting to them. The tactics tonight were also questionable- why is Kazim rotating and playing wide at times leaving us without a focal point. 
 

As for the players, We see glimpses of Morrison every single game but that’s it, wandering all over the pitch and ultimately not affecting the game. Knight at times was a headless chicken, not enough from Lawrence. Kazim was ineffective.
 

Many of us thought this would happen sooner, we had hope with how we’ve started the season but it’s dwindling fast! We now have an extremely tough run of games leading into Christmas, its going to take some effort just to avoid being cut further drift. 

The fans came through strongly on the TV, outstanding support but even the energy and life from the fans was sucked out by that performance as the game went on, albeit revived by a late Derby flourish.

Optimism is quickly fading and it’s looking like it will be a tough slog. Our only hope lies with getting a buyer and appeals panels being sympathetic to our arguments on Covid and P&S.

As for those saying we need a manager change, Rooney has stood by us in an impossible position so deserves a bit more support, and anyway, whoever thinks we can get another manager to turn this situation around is deluded. No proven decent manager will take this job! Not one!

As you rightly said,no proven manager would take this job,and a good example of this is Unai Emery who has just turned down the job at Newcastle,Decent managers are becoming more fickle as to who they would work with,so if Rooney was to be sacked or leave who will come to us the way things are now

Please, please tell me how long it takes for pets to get used to the clocks being altered? I'm already getting fed up of being mauled and gently bitten by Freddie Goodcat!

 

 

It is such a dreadful decision to take, @Malagaram and one that I guess readers of this thread are familiar with. We never forget that awful moment of saying goodbye but I hope that the experience of loss is less raw now. I think it doesn't get better but it does get different. Hope that this is your experience too.

Agree with what you have written,must be more than 20 years now,but still take time most days to think of both of my pets,Jet and Kess,and what a wonderful few years I shared with them both.

Wouldn't ban it, but if you ain't got a pumpkin out and someone knocks on the door you should be free to give them sweets laced with arsenic with no punishment. 

People wanna spend money putting up poo plastic decorations and wasting food and dressing up like an extra in the Rocky Horror Show then go for it, but do it with likeminded people only.

Any adults dressing up should also have their children taken into care.

 

I once read somewhere of a household who used to buy a tin of Roses chocolates,unrap them and get the dog turds out of their garden,roll them and wrap the said turd up in the Roses chocolate wrap and then distribute to trick or treaters,so tell your kids to beware of Roses chocolates given out on trick or treat night

Funny thing is, my wife never celebrated haloween, so this is all new to her too. They always celebrated day of the dead in South America. Not quite like what you’d expect from films with big parades. That’s mostly just Mexico. But she’d go visit the cemetery with her family, and they’d go have a picnic their remembering their loved ones. She used to really enjoy that day too. I can really get behind that idea. I think it’s nice to have a day when everyone remembers their lost loved ones (remembrance Sunday could be it, but it’s only for soldiers really). So we role haloween and day of the dead into one. 

Dia de los Muertos,The day of the Dead,a day to celebrate the death of loved ones and the life of those presently living,and yes it is real,in Spain the older Spanish go to the cemetry with food and drink and pray for their departed,and spend the night with them in that cemetry,who here would have the nerve to spend a night in a graveyard.

And Tedd is right the tradition was brought to Spain by the Mexicans.

So sad to hear about Milkshake. Doesn't matter how many dogs you have had and lost, it never gets any easier to bear. Thinking of you now and sending you a hug. Surround yourself with happy photographs of your beloved pooch and try to focus on how happy you made her life!!

Can really sympathise with anyone who has to take their Dog to the vets,especially if they had been with you for some time,when the time came to put my Lab to sleep I drove past the vets surgery a number of times before plucking up the courage to take her in,tears streaming down my face.I would far rather have taken my wife in to be euthanised than my precious pet.

Don't tell Mrs VdM but I've spelt his name consistently wrong. 

It shoul.d be be Meikle ?

Your Miekle reminds me so much of my Lab Jet,she absolutely loved water and retrieving game from ponds,rivers.

She had Drakeshead lineage in her pedigree and as such was a good bitch for water retrieves.

Hope all goes well.
