Pluses from today is that we’ve got one of our harder fixtures out of the way. The other teams had easier games on paper and still lost. There will be weeks in the future where we’ll have the easier fixtures. They’re the weeks we have to make ground. On weeks like this making ground would be a bonus, but not losing ground is a good result. 

What does Mike Dean think is so funny all of the time. 
 
He’s a proper me me me 

I'll probably get slated for this, but my initial reaction upon hearing it on RD... and backed up by seeing it here... is:
I don't like it!
 
Yeah yeah... kid... hero... I get that.
But there's a time and a place for kids meeting/getting selfies... in fact, quite a few times and places, with a bit of planning... but this particular time and place just ain't it.
I can only assume the usual, and added security, were all surrounding "Curly Sue and The Parmolettes"? 
 
When do 8 year olds become 12 year olds become 15 year olds become knife wielding thugs?  Who is drawing that line, and where is it being drawn?
He didn't shout Rooney over from nearby seats, or hold up a begging Banner... He literally ran half the length of the pitch (Assuming he came from the same place he returned to?)
 
No.  This gets a big thumbs down from me.
Shame on the matchday security.
Shame on the boys parent(s)/guardian(s) (whether they were there or not, and whether they were encouraging it or not).
Sad to see Rooney play along with it, instead of shooing the lad away, or at least stepping back, but it's fair to say, he's actually in a no-win situation there, and I can fully understand his reaction, so I'm loathe to "Shame" him too. 
He should not be put in that position.
?
 

You absolute Melt.

It's absolute nonsense, of course, but I expect every time Rooney, the coaching staff and players hear guff like this, it only makes them more determined.

It might be bloody-minded of me, but if Quantuma have (finally) been allowed to name a PB - after the EFL & Boro blocked it for 2 months, IMHO in a calculated fashion, and caused squad decimation and the prospect of liquidation, I'd be minded to decline the EFL bustards.
I hope the fan groups demand a prompt approval of the PB. And an apology.
The EFL fudged and farted their way along the transfer window, on strings manipulated by Gibson, until the damage was done and last-ditch interventions via MPs etc were required.
Maybe the EFL are now conscious of the attention that will turn upon themselves and they want to 'make friends' with fan groups perceived to be capable of wielding influence over the DCFC fanbase. No anti-EFL petitions, please, look how we solved it for you!
Parry & Co can burn in hell.

I think it's fair to say we wouldn't be where we are today, if it wasn't for Mel.  

They were deducted 25 points after going into administration, leaving them 20 points adrift at the bottom of the table. 
They finished 6th, 24 points ahead of 9th and 10th.
Their joint second top goalscorer with 8 goals?
This man.

Just seen a Bentley doing 160MPH leaving Shirebrook. 

Why doesn't that surprise me ?

Perhaps also booked a cruise together for them and the other halves. 
 
Best mates all along.

3 points tomorrow would be the icing on the cake.
