Mick Harford

Festy doing selfies with the ballboys at the end!

Yeah, I obv have my Rams glasses on, but both teams look awful compared to us.

From people I know at the FA/St. Georges I have very high hopes for the lad.

Not been asked to scout him yet, but am awaiting the day.

BIRDY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WOt a strike

Why only for next month?

My GUESS is that the council are funding the club for the month to allow for PB/takeover.

Obviously could be way off, but if Martin Repton a Councillor is saying something today, it fits in with what I was told that the Council would help with funding as a last resort if the club were about to be liquidated.

He’s an MP so you would hope he has some ITK stuff and wouldn’t just make stuff up. Then again….

Just a correction, he's a Councillor and has been for years and years.

Massive Derby fan, and a principled bloke, would definitely not have him down as someone looking for attention.

Jack's a family friend and I've watched him in the DCFC Academy since he was nine years old. He's now 15 and a first year Academy scholar but still at school. He's the current England U16 goalkeeper and I'm really hoping that in the not too distant future I'm watching him in the first team goal at Pride Park. On top of that he's just a smashing lad who loves the Rams. He's desperate that our club survives.

"There's only one Jack Thompson..........................."

Come On You Rams

Come On You Rams

Believe it or not I was talking to Eric Steele about him earlier, trying to get him on the FA's radar (not that I have any clout tbf)

I've watched him from afar and he's a good lad and keeper so far.

MY personal belief is that the Council will help fund till the end of the season, nothing Chris Poulter says contradicts that hypothesis

6 minutes in applause for a young lad that passed away aged 6.

LAWRENCE AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WHAT A GOAL TOMMY LAWRENCE 

This was my Suicide note in September, when people talk about how it affects us fans. I obviously had other problems, but this was my note left to my parents when I took an overdose. Please Rams, also note how abuse of other players does not help.

I'm sorry, Mum Dad and my friends it is not your fault.

I'll miss seeing Tabitha grow up, hopefully she will be an ace GK

I obv have alcohol and mental health probs, but maybe, just maybe, the likes of Steve Gibson at Middlesborough and the EFL will realise the impact that their actions have on supporters, a constant stream of negative press and comments on social media may effect fans. Not that I'm sure they ultimately care.

Also to fans of other clubs, could we be not more civil> Derby fans have been utter bankers in recent times, but do we not legitimise this behaviour by saying "others did worse" that's no defence in murder.

As Write my suicide note Derby played Sheff Utd (a real club btw, as are most in the league bar the abomination that is MK Dons) and Billy Sharp celebrated like mad after scoring, as he should as our fans have called him both a sex offender and a paedo. Maybe if we were less tribalistic as fans then we could be better, the GK's union is like this, by and large personal abuse is not tolerated, there is mutual appreciation of skill. Could we just go back to that please?

Also, and I am biased, FFP just keeps the top teams at the table and has made us Derby fans suffer for close on 18 months, added to Covid, to people like me it has pushed me over the edge. I truly hope Gibson at Boro knows he has at least partial blood on his hands, as his actions made me do this, despite him being a number of clubs that have had parachute payments.

I first went to see Derby in 85, and without them I am nothing really

I've obviously gone beyond this now, but this is how it made ME feel, and I am sure we have others.

Maybe the EFL should know what their actions have done, perhaps I'm wrong and as other fans on social media say 'you deserve it' I think that I don't deserve it.

*please do not share on social media or beyond this forum.

Boro and Stoke also getting a mention in this

I don’t know Wignall. The board will clearly have members on it from competing clubs, the question is what, in the rules is there about them voting on individual issues involving their own club ? You’d have thought there would be something ?

There's 6 I believe.

1 from Boro

1 from Forest

Risdale from PNE (ex-Leeds)

Jez Moxey at Burton

Fleetwood

and one other.

You could make an argument on bias for 3 of those people, although you would hope and probably believe that they are beyond partisanship.

Hopefully it's ahead of a move so Ideally we can get him off the wage bill, no comment on his ability, but a lot of money for a 3rd choice at the moment

Bit of an insult to the ex Scottish National goalkeeper having to play in a reserve match to prove his fitness etc.

They don’t exactly have to do a lot do they?  
Do QPR want him as first choice or reserve?

First choice Sonny Dieng is away at AFCON and deputy Jordan Archer hurt his shoulder in the FA Cup, so they are left with the option of an untried youth player starting.

Obviously no club should be forced into that ?

I've got zero in my PP account and it's letting me watch Boro v Mansfield already, so hoping that it works for the Rams.

You ducking buy us then!

The replies on that thread are amazing, particularly when Ross Davenport dares to disagree with him.
