Will it have wagons that are falling apart and smell of urine?

Much as I’d like to join the fun and take the proverbial out of Forest, the likelihood of it affecting them will be remote because I expect no more than a slap on the wrist.

The EFL were hell bent in punishing Mel one way or another, it’ll not be the same for the Red dogs. If they really wanted to clamp down, something would have been done about them and Watford’s ease of transferring assets but wasn’t.

My expectations are this will be a charade, with maybe a few quid going here and there in punishment. 

As you say, the EFL were after Mel but this is the Premier League not the EFL. I still doubt that they will come down too heavily on them though, if only so that they will have an excuse to be lenient on Man City.

It's her No**ingham birthright and Ilson upbringing!  There's just no controlling her!  
On the upside, I never had to teach her how to spit!

Still... She'll be at Lincoln with me next week, cheering on The Rams, so there's still a bit of decency in her!  😉

Athletic reporting this

 

So Forest are guilty of breaking premier league P&S rules over a three year period, when two of them were in the championship?

There’s a rumour that the EFL are going to hit them hard with a 20 minute transfer embargo for this.

Both in and out, so we can't sign Savage.

10 games on loan for us from Villa. Knee injury ended his career after just 24 league apps. 

Yes, I looked him up. I still don't remember him actually playing, but he did look familiar.

Birmingham away.

But Chris Boden? I have no recollection of him whatsoever?!?

I had no idea of the game, but thought exactly the same about Boden.

This thread has somehow morphed from CBT to Chips and peas, especially that awful food of the devil, mushy peas (perhaps I’ve lived in London too long, changed my taste buds, and I’ve become nesh)

Yes, it's sort of gone from being the CBT thread to being the CBA to talk about CBT thread.

The most John-Jules has played in a season is 23 games, back in 2021. Since then, he's managed 13, 21, and currently 11.

In Gerrard's debut season (aged 18), he made just 13 appearances (debut in November) but never missed more than 3 games in a row. The following season, he made 31 appearances, with a 4 game spell out of the team, 2 games out at the end of the season and a couple of single games scattered throughout. In 00/01 (aged 20), he made 50 appearances, never missing more than 1 game in a row. The year after, it was another 45 appearances, with a 3 game spell out injured. In 02/23 (aged 22), he featured 54 times, missing 3 league games in total due to injuries.

Gerrard's injury 'troubles' are in no way comparable to Gerrard's.

Or indeed to John-Jules' 😉

You've lost me mate, but that said, I needed a handbook to navigate breakfast this morning, so that's probably my fault not yours!

It was claimed that we were still paying Ravanelli's wages years after he had left the club.

Napoleon - For balance, I love Ridley Scott's movies, or lots of them at least. Alien, Blade Runner, Black Rain, Gladiator, Black Hawk Down, Kingdom of Heaven, I mean I could die happy having made any one of those films and there are others, but sadly, Napoleon is not one of them. It's epic, that I concede and as always with Scott, it is beautifully filmed, but for all its grandeur and sweep, it found it completely hollow and unrewarding. 

If you don't like money you can find it on Apple TV.

Ravanelli / 10*

*KEY: cost the club a shitload and did fook all

 

But will you still be paying the entrance fee in five years time?

My 1st "escape" came against Spurs as a 15 year old, I'd stand where the floodlights were at the Vulcan St End right next to the Normanton Stand...a great view of the game and also the shenanigans along the Popside, At the end of the game I was intrigued(nosey)to see where all the fighting was after the game, Derby's main lad in those days was a guy called "Fagin" a guy that always wore a long coat and was a double for Jesus Christ, We got to Harrington St just off Shaftsbury St when we heard the noise from Spurs fans, Fagin held the line then Spurs ran down Harrington St, I was on my toes 😁I never stopped running until I got to TC Harrisons in Normanton🏃‍♂️😁

Fagin disappeared around a year or so later, He was thrown in the River Trent by Trent Bridge by the red dogs, To be replaced by Kev O'Reilly, Phil Clarke, Billy Parker, Freddie Howard, Herbie, Ossie Owen, Acca, Geordie, Larry Lightning, Phil Millward, A few years later I progressed to the back of the Popside...singing "you'll never take the Popside" a few tried...but never did 👍

  

I started out clinging to the same floodlight as a nipper when my dad would take me along with him. I later progressed to a private seat that my dad made for me that slotted into some holes in the wall at the back of the Popside before they built the Lee Stand. When I was tall enough I was either in the season ticket holder's pen on the Popside, or on the corner where the gully started to cut down also on the Popside.

I never got into any trouble. I was the smallest of my mates and would have had trouble swatting a fly in that period. The nearest I ever got to having to at least defend myself was one of the 1-0 wins at Sheffield United. I rarely took a scarf to away games unless it was really cold and I could hide it under my coat. In the euphoria of the victory I forgot to hide the scarf and as we walked to the station someone tapped me on the shoulder. "That's your side of the road over there. I'd get over there pretty quick if I were you". Suffice to say I was over the road in a flash.

Another occasion was at the tree's place. Walking back to the station again Derby fans started running past us. We looked back and saw what looked like a wall of red coming towards us, so obviously we started to run too. After a few yards a policeman told us to stop running. We asked if he was going to stop running with us? He said no, so we kept running 😂. The copper then tried to grab my mate, who jumped over one of those big concrete pipes that was waiting to be laid in the ground. The copper followed him, but misjudged the jump. He tripped on the pipe and fell onto his Crown Jewels. When his colleagues went to his aid we ran off as quick as we could. A bit further down the road a Derby lad had stopped and shouted to his mates " there's only a couple of dozen of them, we can take these!". We later saw him on the football special, covered in blood, shouting at his mates " why didn't you go back, we could have taken them easy" 😂

Liverpool, 1972. The game that ultimately gave us our first Division 1 title.

Well the cheeky mother fecker...thinking mighty Blackpool would be a pushover so booked the winter break, The downside was it was a cash upfront holiday and a loss of deposit if cancelled.

All those precious players are going to feel the wind of the Irish sea instead of warm sunshine on their backs

They can always send the 35 players who didn't make their named squad.

Not quite ticket related - but fans wearing bobble hats at away games is really disrespectful for the people behind. Obviously everyone will stand - but it’s very selfish.

Try to go a bit to the side of the away dugout then!

Football has become one massive box ticking exercise over the last 5/10 years whether you like to admit it or not.

Derby County under countless embargoes ☑️

Derby County charged with various made up crimes ☑️

Mel Morris removed from football ☑️

Derby County docked 21 points ☑️

Derby County forced to sell all their young talent for the price of a packet of crisps ☑️

Derby County relegated ☑️

At least the third one was to our benefit.

Cancel all subscriptions and put the money towards a visit to the promised land to see the promotion party in the Market Place. I'll buy you a pint in Jorrocks.

COYR. 

I'll be over in April for my niece's wedding. Unfortunately the Rams are away at Wycombe that weekend, so even if promotion is confirmed then I'll miss it. Unless the party is on the Sunday, then I'll try to take you up on the offer 😜

They can do one. 

I haven't received notice yet that I will have to pay for the streaming service, but I can't remember the last film I watched on Amazon. I have watched several series, but I won't be paying to remove ads.

It's a shame he couldn't have stayed for an extra season, as I'm sure Cocu would have used him. Add him to the list of other academy players our decision makers judged incorrectly. 

To be fair, he wasn't pulling up any trees in the lower leagues and we were a championship club. Like so many before him he was a late developer. You can't blame clubs letting young players go if they can't see them getting a place in the team in the next year or two.
