True!

I liked Neville"s passion but he was very low on substance regarding the barriers we face. The EFL is highly culpable and I still remain at a lost to understand their point about protecting the other clubs. Neville also suggested that we are asking for preferential treatment which would open the floodgates for others. Again he is wrong - we are not.

Just listened to Ed Dawes and Chris Carter(?) on Radio Derby. IMO they are doing the radio station and us fans a disservice by lumping the Administrators alongside the EFL and Gibson as behaving like children.

The Administrators have an incredibly difficult job to do and a statutory duty to perform across multiple stakeholders. They also have limited room for manoeuvre.

The answer is according to Ed to get the 3 parties in a room to thrash the issues out. However what in the intransigent statements made by the EFL and Gibson makes him think they are going to respond to that by modifying their basic positions? I also have little faith in mediation for the same reason.

Getting funding for the remainder of the season over the line is the Administrators' key immediate priority and removes the imminent threat of expulsion.

The rest requires the authoritive intervention of an independent 3rd party arbitrator who can rule on the outstanding issues by consent. 

If this has to be through the EFL's mechanism rather than the courts so be it IMO.

First article I have read disapproving of Boro's position. It's a start.

His injury was self inflicted. What a prat for getting in a car with drunken kids. He was the club captain. Deserved the sack without compensation. Compare his behaviour to Curtis Davies for example....

Cheers mate. Here's hoping for a better second half

Can anyone post the scores for this one as in unauthorized country for stream....

Thanks in advance

Amazing how many encounters with BC ended with someone telling him to do one. Mine is the same. I was a venture scout in the early 70s and a number of us went to a fete in Quarndon in full uniform Can't remember why. Part way through we were relaxed sitting on a fence having a fag. Brian walked across and told us it wasn't a good look in no uncertain terms. We felt what's it got to do with you and responded accordingly. He was a big head but what a bloody great manager of footballers

Having tried to decipher the EFL Agreed Decision appendix, I believe that the £15.7m budget is for all wages, bonuses and other payments for all the club's contracted players ie including academy lads. If so it means that those among us who thought we had an average of £12k a week exclusively for the 25 player first team squad stand to be disappointed. Anyway my ambition is simply to get to the end of the season with a new owner and heads held high on and off the pitch. Then game on!!

I know, Norwich isn't 4 hours ahead of the east Midlands. Some would say significantly behind the east Midlands.....

 

That I agree with being Derby born and bred!

For what my thoughts are worth i was wondering if the EFL had just maybe been given some advice from the lawyers that they may, just may lose this case and are intent on stopping anyone having some kind of success over them in the future

Yep. Hope you are right obvs.

For what it's worth if Nixon is right (if) I reckon the EFL is in a tizzy because they believed the 12 points to be the nearest to automatic they could get. They now face the real prospect imo of the sanction being reduced and, get this, they can't appeal as things stand. Serves em right!

Norwich and Cromer mainly. The lads can be a bit coarse for some people's taste but great craic!! 

Authentic footage?

Join the Norfolk Rams. Loads of us - well at least 10 - and go to away games regularly! 

Just a question. Does RamsTV generate a profit or is it a liability the administrators would be likely to eliminate? Really hope not but....

Cashin was excellent but if he’s 6’1” I’m a Dutchman.

Im saying he’s 5’10” maybe 5’11” 

However it’s largely irrelevant as he didn’t lose an areal battle all game and his reading of the game was first class. 

If he was 6’5” but lost headers and got in the wrong position all game would that be better?

Agreed

1.8m says Dr Google... ?

Not sure I believe it either! ?

Jagielka 1.8m. Smaller than Cashin it seems. Jags played CB for England.... 

1.87m. 6'1.5" allegedly!! How tall is Jagielka?
