Seeing him now being portrayed as the villain by many who also drank Mel's kool-aid is pretty irksome too I'd imagine, he told you that you were cheating, he told you that Mel was a liar, and now he has been proven correct he still gets abuse.

Just for clarity, specifically, cheating about what, lying about what? Correct about what precisely?

1-1 Lawrence

I don't think they'll take the offer up but what Mel has done is give the EFL an opportunity to save face.

The EFL should be all over this.

11.30 is a bit early isn't it, hanging around PP for an hour before the game in the freezing cold?

Fair play to the organisers for a magnificent job though.

I wanna be in that number, when the Rams go marching in."

Sometimes, the old ones are the best! 

That's a Southampton song, well it was when I used to watch them. Is there another not pinched?

I tried this round the streets of Littlehampton earlier, but no one knew either Rick Parry or Steve Gibson.

You need to go to Climping Beach for that, fella.

Hi people I’ve lived down south all my life near Portsmouth I’ve supported Derby for 50 odd years and no other team admittedly more armchair fan I will never change my alliegence 

It's one thing to always support a single team but I think it's perfectly OK to watch your local team as well if you do not live anywhere near your club.

Indeed, I'm from Ilford and lived in Waterlooville and Luton before I chose my team in 1976

When I lived near Southampton (Bursledon) in the late 70's - mid 80's  I was at Junior/Senior school and I watched a lot of games at The Dell.

When I moved to Bognor (17 - 22) and Worthing (23- 51) I spent some time watching Brighton at the Goldstone Ground.

Now I live in Derby so all good ?

I have never changed my allegiance or felt any desire to, unlike my brother who went from West Ham > Bolton and then Man City. To be fair to him, he did end up with City in his early teens so he has seen the League 1 days.

Howwww? You haven't been to a party if Meat Loaf hasn't come on and given a shocking rendition by those attending

I don't go to parties.

Never liked any of his music, but sad he's gone too early.

I believe you're referring to this post by the best poster on the forum ?

 

In that case, are you able to correct any minor errors there are so we can get this tweeted out?  Needs to be a picture not text doesn't it?  to get round Twitter's character limit?

You are indeed correct.  I don't know the area too well, only live in Northampton as a result of the wife...let's face it, there's no other reason to live in Northampton.

Could be worse, could be Wellingborough where my brother lives.

Selling players to reduce debt Is fine as long as the going rate or near as is paid, the offer for Sibley was quite frankly abysmal, the offer wouldn't cover a weeks salaries. The EFL tried to make Birmingham sell Che Evans for a poultry amount   the whole lot stinks, the EFL won't be happy until they wave us goodbye. 

Chicken feed it was if I recall.

We would have been better fighting the 9 points.  With the -12 another potential 9 wouldn't have put of an investor and we have a far bigger issue now opening the backdoor for Gibson.  

If that's what it takes to save my club, I'll do it.

You know, we have little sympathy from other fans because of 'EFL on strings' thing on Twitter. 

Maybe the guy who posted it should publicly apologise, caused a whole lot of grief with that.

Zero away fans would hit them in the pocket, just don't go or buy a ticket.

Go somewhere else instead.

In that case.

Derby

Born in Ilford so should be Leyton Orient or West Ham. Supported Derby since 76 when I was 8 but moved here when I was 51, nearly 3 years ago.

Is that where in the world you are now or where you were born/brought up?

This has confused me.

0-0

Very very low I would think, what do the bookies say? Ever met a poor one?

I would say we have an excellent chance of catching Barnsley and Peterborough but the rest? Very low probability, 5-10% max.

I like that Rooney is attempting to rotate players in and out so they don't get tired but I also can't see us keeping the form up through January/February.  Is our February collapse still a thing? 

I might just join you there, never had a tattoo, never understood the deal with them.

In fact, I've always been of the opinion that people get/like tattoos these days purely because it's fashionable, a bit sheep-like.

But if I was to get one, it would have to be small and discreet and mean something dear to me and possibly commemorate something so this would be perfect. I think the missus would do it as well.

Maybe we should all get the same one?

Still going down but at least other fans are slowly coming round to liking us, plucky old Derby.
