I think it might be because the EFL are.... (deep breath).... Short-sighted, useles, incompetent, buffoons who have no idea of fair play and who wouldn't recognise a good idea if it were gift-wrapped and accompanied with a large neon sign saying ' A GOOD IDEA'.

I agree, chuck it out. And put up with the mistakes, isn't that what living with it means?

If it's not an obvious howler, the original decision stands, and we live with it. Referee errors are just part of the game. Over the last 150 odd years there will have been thousands of wrong calls, but that's still better than the current system that's sucking all the joy from the game.

The only opinion that would matter would be the ref's, just as it always used to be. But now he would have the opportunity to review his desicion to help eliminate glaring errors.

Hence "seemingly sizable". You're right of course, probably a very vocal minority.

I can't believe that there is another club in the world where, in our posistion, a seemingly sizable section of the fanbase would want the manager kicked out. Yes I suppose it would be nice to watch Jim Smith or peak Mac type football every week, but , how can I put this? We've got no feckin' money. Yes we may have a higher wage budget than many in this league, (or not, I don't know) but given the restraints and time frame he's had to work in I think P.W's done a crackig job.

Let the following be a warning regarding the dire consequences of pitch invasions. Back in the early '70s when I was about 9, me and me mates went to a night match at the BBG. As was our custom, we paid a tanner to go in the boys end. As was also our custom, come half time we nipped over the fence so as to get into the Pop Side. As we walked along the edge of the pitch, a photographer was blocking my way, but in going around him, I strayed over the line onto the pitch. Then, disaster! A stalwart steward, spotting my incursion, swooped. Having single-handedly foiled the mass pitch-invasion, the heroic man in the tabbard frog-marched 9 year old me out of the ground and told me to clear off. As well as having to navigate my way home alone, I also had to tell me mam that I was early because I'd been chucked out. Now tell me that pitch invasions are a good idea!

Well, yes I suppose that's a good point, but to suggest that I could be wrong???

Most rediculous statment I've ever read on here.

And everywhere else. Also, Alveston is Alvo, not Olvo. Also, I'm a pedantic twot.

Cambridge 0 - 2 Derby FRGS: Collins

!975. Hope it's a warm sunny day, East Stand's a lovely place for a snooze.

We could if we tried. Also, don't call me Shirley.

Derby 2 - 0 Orient FRGS: NML

Car park connoisseurs 1-1 Derby FRGS: Cashin

Nelson and Cashin, forgone conclusion, honourable mention for Collins.

Have we agreed what the penalty was for yet?

EH? 100 x £1 = £100. Dunnit? and 100 x £10 surely = £1000 Given that £1000 is better than £100, what's the issue?

This counts as a good thing?

EFL statment: " After vigorous investigation, a crack team of EFL sleuths have uncovered facts regarding Quantuma. We have discovered that rather than being a highly professional and impartial company of financial wizards, they were in fact, a fly-by-night bunch of chancers run by some Nottinghamshire bloke in a dress called Dawn, and a mysterious curly haired man, believed to operate from a bunker in Northern England. We, the EFL, can only offer our most profound apologies to the good people of Derbyshire, and hope that the return of points and a promise of favourable referees will, in some small way, alieviate any distress caused." Statment ends.

Portsmouth 1 - 1 Derby FRGS: Washington

Well I 'spose it'll do if they've got no proper beers like Carling or Woodpecker.

Wouldn't have been cheaper to blow up his bakery?

A Muslim work colleague tells me it's ok to drink water and eat a small amount if doing manual labour. Mind, at the time he was munching a cheese cob and he hadn't done a stroke all morning, so maybe not the most reliable source of religeous instruction.
