1-0 Shrewsbury!
 

Should make the highlights on MOTD

Surely we need to see Sibley on in the next few mins

Bradley is absolutely dire.

Constant deafening PA system before match and half time doesnt help build anything gradually ahead of match. Poem, steve bloomer then we're expected to be singing our hearts out. There is nothing to make fans want to get to seats early (but we do as just like to be in there)
 
Also a totally personal peeve but when the announcer man bossily says to get behind the Rams always think what do you think I've given up a huge amount of money and my Saturday from 10.30 to 8 to do! Really annoys me

It sucks because the football sucks. I've been to 3 home league games this season and every time there has been a scintilla of excitement and/or hope for a decent result, it's led to a good atmosphere. At Portsmouth the few times we did get forward, i thought it was obvious the fans were almost frothing at the mouth. 

Kids said the exact same thing... "dad im bored" ... I wouldn't be suprised if they start watching other teams when they get older & start understanding football more. 
To be honest i prefer watching them play in the under 7s. There is more desire & skill on show. 
 

Must admit, that performance was simply dreadful. No pattern of play, no strategy, no cohesion, no passing, no movement, no game management, no shots, no idea. 
Of most concern is that there is absolutely no improvement at all compared to last season. 
Pre-season favourites for promotion? Don’t make me laugh.
Hopeless. 

Boring game between two very average teams. A draw about right.
I’m starting to wonder whether this is the worst derby team since the 11-pointers, which on later it shouldn’t be as we have in our ranks some decent footballers.
However we need to see what Warne can do with a fully fit, or nearly fully fit squad. Hope more than expectation says he will change up to a better, more organised style of play where we can actually see what they players are trying to do. But continue to play this frankly bizarre, shapeless and often amateurish way and even the top 6 will be a challenge.
 
Atmosphere in the SS is as bad as I’ve known it. Good start bouncing off the Portsmouth fans but just went flat. 10 mins to go in the first half and plenty of people were disappearing downstairs and even sitting down. It just saps the enthusiasm out of you,
 

We badly need a striker, going into the season with Collins as our only option is ridiculous. 

It should be 10 times that to freaking low.

Will Hughes equalises for Palace 

Took a bit of time out to gather myself, have a bath, listen back to Radio Derby and get a glass of my special occasion drink (White Peak Distillery cask rum, summit local). I hope everyone is having whatever it is they want to drink.
Can’t really add anything that hasn’t already been said. All my thanks for everyone’s efforts last season. From Rooney and Rosenior, the players and staff who kept the club going in the darkest days. You can all hold your head high for what you did.
The fans who did everything they could, from filling the stadium to organising marches etc etc. Also the supporters groups who tried to get answers.
The journalists who kept us informed as much as they could, this was a mess from start to finish and was impossible to report accurately on. Many lessons will be learnt but we should appreciate all their efforts from Nixon, Percy, @The Baron,Simon Stone and everyone else I’m forgetting about. Colin Murray, Dan Roan and the national journalists who gave #savederbycounty national coverage. 
Special mention to Ed Dawes and Radio Derby, who has lived this far longer than any of us realise because Morris was in his ear with his mess 2-3 years ago. He didn’t get it right all the time, I’m sure he can admit that, but he stood up when it mattered and deserves a pat on the back from Derby fans. Also let’s not forget Chris Coles who after so much crap Derby related news deserves his little moment tonight too!
Team Derby! Forkin, the council and the MPs who helped keep this in the spotlight and did a lot of background work. They have helped create a huge positive day for the city.
Thanks to @David, @Boycieand all the moderators on the forum for all their work and giving us the platform. Special mention to @Animal is a Ram for giving us ‘up to the second’ updates (and all those who sought to beat him, yes you @RoyMac5). Thanks everyone for the laughs in here, at some of the most frustrating times they were some genuinely funny days in here that made everything a bit easier. 
Finally, thankyou Mr Clowes. I hope despite inital reluctance this ends up being the best decision you ever make. I hope as fans we respect your privacy, but only after hearing your name being rang out by a sell out crowd on July 30th. 
I’ve probably forgotten someone, despite going on worst than one of those popmaster contestants who won’t shut up and go away, but I’m tired and wanna finish my drink and read transfer rumours like a normal football fan, so apologies to anyone who is forgetten.
Have a great night everyone, it’s much deserved 

I could have started a new colony on Mars in the time this has taken.

We agree on the need for Derby to be self sufficient & to end the days of big spending (not that it would be possible under the EFL agreed business plan in any case). I think folk are probably more concerned about Kirchner's very noticeable silence this week & the news Stateside about unpaid Slync.io wages & team sponsorship. That does not bode well for his future custodianship of DCFC, if that does end up happening.
I think you might be surprised about Quantuma this weekend - a combination of the increasingly terse EFL statements & finding themselves in the eye of a media storm will have shaken them. No one else to blame at this stage. I fully expect they will be fielding enquiries from interested parties this weekend even if any resolution/news wouldn't be announced until a week day
As to your final point, I don't know by what mechanism Kirchner could back out the deal & avoid contractual liability if he has exchanged contracts & apparently sent the money.

And here Ladies and Gentlemen is the $60k question, I could never understand why an American would want to buy DCFC, I've said this on several occasions on this thread, Who in their right mind want's to pi$$ millions down a drain, Pay off someone else's debt just to become a "Soccer Owner in England"...I just don't get it?‍♀️

I just don't believe Kirchner is a chancer. Why waste as much time, energy and money as he has to get this far, only to go "nah, don't have the money actually"?
It doesn't make any sense. They've all had the same scenario, get to the end and the money "doesn't arrive". Kirchner especially has already lost millions on the deal if he walks away, it just doesn't make sense that actually he's just a penniless clown and a timewaster.
Who benefits?

I`m not sure what I believe anymore.
My biggest concern in all this is CK`s silence. It`s not like the CK we have seen so far.

One of the most annoying things here is that Ashley will swoop in, get a deal done in about 2 days and it will become apparent that he could have done that at literally any point in the last 12 months 

hmmm not sure I trust Ed since that time he made a claim and then had to u turn and apologise on air for it not being true. 
 
If it does collapse how has CK managed to;
a) convince Garry cook and Paul streford he’s got the money. 
 
b) convince Q he’s got the money. 
 
c) prove funds to the EFL.
 
d) make a continuing number of claims on Twitter over the past month that no one has challenged. 
 
e) get lawyers involved. 
 
f) work closely with whomevers buying the stadium, again for someone not to come out and say none of it’s happening or true. 
 
Real answers are needed by all involved IF that’s the reality but I’ll wait and see what actually happens. 

I am starting to increasingly worry it's not going to happen. It doesn't take a week to transfer money regarding of bank holidays.

Not a player I know but congratulations @Owen87ITK
 

I take it that's his finger on the left!!

Look kircher is doing damn get this taker over sorted out.
