Pics or it didn't happen 😂

The end of that quote may well inadvertently work in @RoyMac5's favour however 😂

Can confirm, he told us it's basically done!

Crazy how I checked out after less than 2 sentences 😏😂

Yeah that says a lot about him. Fair play 👏

And yet many don't seem to have an issue with it. It does seem the generally vocally negative are the ones that seem irked by it... I don't think that's a coincidence? I saw loads of comments after the Northampton game about how he shouldn't play for us again etc. Sections of our fanbase seem utterly oblivious at times that some of that criticism filters back to the players themselves. They're human and will react to it... then when they do, many of those same fans pull the surprised pikachu face that they dare have an emotional response...

I enjoyed it. Maybe that's because I've backed him all along so don't feel 'triggered' by it like you clearly are... guilty conscience talking perhaps? I suspect it was in reference to a lot more than just the sending off. I've seen 'fans' write absolute nonsense about him all season, slagging him off whenever the opportunity presents itself. I have zero issue with a player giving it back under those circumstances. We saw the same with Lawrence previously. Instead of fans getting indignant when it happens, maybe turn the mirror round and have a look at whether some of our own behaviour is causing it to happen eh?

I thought Kone was decent as well, just read his wikipedia though and came across this very strange section... Can't work out what this means 🤔

This doesn't really make sense. A team can't achieve consistent success over the course of a 46 game season by going against the tactics implemented by the manager. So any success achieved by the team as a whole, by proxy, also includes the manager. Valid criticism of Warne is perfectly fine, but stuff like this I find baffling. You can't just overlook or dismiss the part Warne's played in our success, whilst simultaneously attributing most of our failings on him. Credit has to go both ways.

Yeah this is it for me. If Bolton go ahead and beat both Portsmouth and Peterborough, it'd be hard for even the most biased Derby to fan to say we deserve an autos spot over them...

2nd highest rated player overall in League 1, let alone just defenders (based on OPTA data)

Not sure 'should' is fair. The rules seem conditional on which phase of play contact first happens in. Because Wildsmith's first handled inside the area (a legal claim), that stops the 'promising attack'. Meaning his subsequent handling outside the area is a different phase which avoids the need for a card to be shown. I think the ref handled it perfectly given it wasn't malicious and no real advantage was gained from our perspective.
