Derby 5-0 Fleetwood Mac

We got raked over the coals for attempting to bypass FFP with the stadium sale. All these clubs selling players to themselves get away completely scot free though. I know ultimately we weren't punished for the stadium sale but it didnt stop the EFL coming after us. Why is what we did a heinous crime in the eyes of the EFL, but these clubs can bypass FFP this way with not a care in the world. Baffles me.

It's a bit unfortunate for Louie that his best position is the one currently occupied by our Player of the Season so far.
It's also difficult for him to come in and play anywhere near that level with a few snatched moments here and there.
But Louie is our future. If I were him, I'd be learning every little thing I could from McGoldrick and looking to be his natural successor. 

Where TF are Pompous Pirate and Red Spawn? I'm guessing they spent last night cupping one another's balls and crying gently as they tried to console each other.
Ah well, when they do finally sprout a pair again and return to these boards, be nice to them please chaps. Spending a 1/4 of a £billion only to find you're even s****** than before is not a pleasant experience and they deserve our sincerest sympathy.

I’m female and I’ve got a sense of humour about these things. We’re not allowed to have a bit of banter? 
I’m personally not a fan of shoe horning women into roles just because it’s expected not to discriminate. But she did well and deserved to be there. Can’t say the same for one or two linos I’ve seen, but I’ll leave that. 
I’m really not keen on women commentators either, or interviewers. The good ones are very few and too many aren’t there on merit. (I get that this is subjective and just my opinion). 
Don’t give anyone a job just to tick boxes, and I’m sticking to that. 

I personally only watch highlights when they lose

I don't think anything will come of it, but, we'll see. I just filled in British Transport Police's online complaint form:
I went to catch the train from Barnsley Interchange, following the Barnsley-Derby County football match, intending to travel back to Sheffield.
I wasn't allowed through the doors of the station, for a while, in the first instance. I posed the question: what? You won't permit me onto the platform, even though I've got a valid travel document? The answer was no - you're going to have to wait. Eventually, I was allowed onto the platform, just as the train was coming in.
As I expected, I was squashed up against the train door. I ended up standing next to two Derby fans, a husband and wife, with some other Derby fans in front of me, and then two members of the British Transport Police against the other set of train doors.
The British Transport Police officers let a few more fans on, and, at that point, it was hardly possible to move. Still, they continued to admit passengers, to the point where the volume of people meant that I ended up being pushed into the lady Derby supporter. I think this was preceded by one of the British Transport Police officers pushing someone, because they wouldn't (or could not, due to the lack of space), move down the train.
Understandably, her husband complained loudly, about the fact that his wife had almost been pushed over. Fortunately, she was unhurt.
My concerns arise from the way that the British Transport Police officers dealt with her husband. To contextualise - I am a Barnsley fan, and I was surrounded by supporters of the other club. The Derby supporters were loud, singing their songs, and many of them had alcohol. Their team had just lost, too. In my experience, a combination of those last two things can be a recipe for threats, aggression, and general unpleasantness. At no point, though, did I feel intimidated by any Derby fans - I was happily talking to a couple of them. For a busy train, after a football match, it was as peaceable as it gets. 
The fan whose wife had been pushed over was addressing, from memory, British Transport Police officer Smith, who normally works out of Leeds, and has been with the police, since 1981. If that doesn't identify him, I took some surreptitious video footage with my smartphone, which you can have, if you like.
It isn't verbatim, but parts of the conversation went like this, with 'F', being the fan whose wife had been pushed over, and 'O', being officer Smith.
F - why did you push my wife over?
O - I can push whoever I want. They (I think 'they', meant the yellow-jacketed stewards, who had been outside the train station) cannot, but we can, and we will, if we have to.
F - what? You're not even going to apologise?
O - carry on with your mouth, and I'll arrest you, when we pull into Sheffield.
I also had a conversation with officer Smith, just as we were arriving into Sheffield. He said he would have had no problem 'pulling me by [my] scarf', through the solid mass of humanity in front of me, and into the passageway which connects the carriages, if he had been required to do so. When I asked what the consequences for my health would have been from such a decision, he was unconcerned. There was not much in the way of a response to my comment that, if you treat people like animals, you shouldn't be surprised if they behave liked animals.
Officer Smith, when prompted by a different Derby fan, also expounded upon the subject of police intelligence, and how the police decide whether someone 'can be a risk.' Essentially, this came down to attire. Two of the brands mentioned by officer Smith, were Stone Island, and CP. I wanted to ask officer Smith whether this was the same mentality which sees Black citizens targeted, as a consequence of police intelligence, but, as he had already told me 'not to get excited', I thought better of it. 
Officer Smith confirmed that he had been filming, so you may wish to view said footage.
My own comments are as follows: it was only this morning when I read that one per cent of police officers, are under investigation, for alleged criminal activity of their own. It isn't even two years since Sarah Everard was murdered by a serving police officer. In more recent times, there's been David Carrick, too. Now, obviously - obviously - I am not comparing a rude police officer, whose every action I disagreed with, with the murderer of Sarah Everard.
But, if public confidence in the police is as low as it's ever been because of the above events, my experience on the train is not going to restore that confidence. Nobody I saw deserved to be treated with the rudeness, and contempt, which officer Smith displayed. An apology, and an acceptance that he'd made the wrong decision, in letting more people onto the train, would have gone a long way to defusing the situation. I make mistakes in my job, and, when I do, I apologise. And, this man has been one of the public faces of your organisation, for more than four decades!
I'm appalled. I've never done a thing wrong in my life, and yet one of the upholders of the law, thinks there is nothing wrong with telling me he'd pull me around by my scarf, through a line of other human beings, on an already jampacked train. I've been all over the country with Barnsley, and only the police in South Yorkshire, behave in such a high-handed, intimidating way. 
Thanks for your attention.

Yesterday was a desperately poor result but the way I see it is that we’d rather be seeing those results now than in May. It’s something we can recover from.
We haven’t lost ground on Plymouth and Wycombe haven’t gained ground on us. We are very much where we deserve to be and likely to end up being - in the playoffs. Whether we finish 3rd or 6th is immaterial.
All teams have games where every slip, trip, bobble, wobble, bounce and deflection goes in the opposition’s favour and every mistake gets punished. It was just one particularly bad day at the office. We have had four of those in 23 league games under Warne, so there’s no need to panic.
It’s all very well saying Warne needs to correct things or learn from defeats, but what more can he really do?
We have to remember that Warne is working with what he’s got - a very small squad with good quality but one that is having to rely on players playing out of position and young players to fill gaps to function even slightly.
There is no use in getting worked up and there is no use coming down like a hammer on Warne and the team.
I am sure Warne would love a colossus in midfield and I am sure Warne would love to rest 5-6 players but he doesn’t have that luxury. He is doing his best to troubleshoot from within.
We have 14 games to go and 9-10 of them look very winnable. The scaremongering after two rare defeats seems extreme.
Six points at PP this week and we can quickly move on from this.

I personally only watch highlights when they lose

Or more accurately the Notts miners never folded. They worked from start to finish.

Correct, proper scabs.

My Barnsley cousin was genuinely embarrassed by the scab chant, i told him he had no need to apologise, it meant naff all to me

It was packed in there after the game , i got chatting to a couple of Rams fans watching the Rugby, football aside a good day out

I'd rather be wherever Derby are.

I was in the home end when that announement was made, i was baffled as i hadnt heard any offensive chanting or shouts from anyone that i would say was sexist or racist, but there were a few stewards looking up into the stand definitely looking for someone, ....not sure if "scabs" or "scabbers" would be deemed offensive or discriminity there was plenty of that but it  certainly didnt bother me
I was walking past Derby fans at the train station with my Barnsley supporting cousin and our kids, found it quite funny he kept bending down picking up coins that i realised were being thrown at us, and he says to me in his thick yorkie accent "im making a fortune ere lad"
As for the game itself, terrible from us, Barnsley were better all over, hate to say it but although the numbers looked good the noise levels from Derby fans wasnt the best today, i was expecting it to be better, but i enjoyed ma day out, took my lad bowling and enjoyed a quality sit down Indian after the game, couldnt go on the lash as my lads only 13 but got the impression Barnsley would be a cracking night out, so planning to get over again soon, and meet up with relatives i havent seen for too long ?

5001 Rams fans, me and my boy are in the home end behind the goal, with a Barnsley supporting relative, should be fun

TNT (used to be called BT Sport) appear to be favourites
 FYI Apple have just paid $2.5 billion for the rights to broadcast the MLS games over here, so Sky are talking BS, Rams v Leeds in the Championship would get 1,000% more viewers globally than Brighton v Crystal Palace in the Premiership. Sky don't want the competition from the EFL being broadcast professionally.
