My ignore list is getting out of hand.

You’re actually wrong on two accounts I believe.
1) Not all the fans were behind the advertising hoardings.
2) According to the FA rules of the game, the referee cannot reduce the minimum time added on:
The fourth official indicates the minimum additional time decided by the referee at the end of the final minute of each half. The additional time may be increased by the referee but not reduced.

Fair enough then. We’ll call it a draw. One right and one wrong. 😀

Indicators on BMWs.

The football authorities having a concern for fans travelling to away games? That'll never catch on. 😀
I do seem to recall listening to, or watching, a short programme about how the fixtures are initially generated automatically but then someone spends hours manually amending it in order to take account of major events and local rivals not playing at home at the same time.

Wouldn't have made any difference if they had. Like the Fulham game in 1983, the results elsewhere made a re-run of our game redundant.

Personally I'd be more embarrassed about organizing my evening around watching a bunch of sausage eaters and bull fighters bore everyone to death.
But maybe that's just me.......

Speak of the devil.

Leeds prevented a promotion pitch invasion...yes you're right there 😂

The season hasn't even started yet. Let's see how we get on. 
Oh wait.... You're still talking about last season. Move on.

Was part of the way we played wasn't it?
We did extremely well in the goals for and against columns, if we spent hours on end playing square balls...

You make it sound as if Kirchner was despatched to derby by a presidential task force.  
 
Have you had business dealings with Russians, or Chinese? They can be quite challenging - Indonesians too. Some Middle Eastern gents can be a handful, as many in the horse racing world would tell you. Ironically Quantuma seemed to think the most tricky they dealt with was someone closer to home who sells lots of tracksuits 

Promotion?

Yep. And if we want to compete at a higher level then now is the right time to find investment, whilst we still have things to offer that other Championship or League 1 clubs don't. Memories aren't necessarily long in football - see the Lionel Pickering thread for our own fans remembering ability. So we need to capitalise on who we are and how we might compete before investors look for another Wrexham. Chesterfield maybe?! #COYR 

I don’t think it’s forgotten by the media more a case of not enough space to fit it in. They’ve got to find room for the stories about Prince Harry and Taylor Swift (not together obviously 😀) somehow.
Seriously though, the media reports what it thinks its viewers and readers want to see and read. If news about the relative stalemate in Ukraine is trumped (pun intended) by other by other news in their minds then updates on the war are bound to be pushed down the pecking order.

Imo it’s different to this. People now investing in championship clubs aren’t so much investing in the current value of the club and its squad. They are investing in the possibility of becoming a club that’s in the PL. Our ground, gate, history and standing as a club is a big positive much more so than the club’s current squad, academy-player-potential, current manager etc. 
Some Americans will see it mainly as a roll of the dice as to whether they can find that magic combination of squad and manager. Agree to buy us now - with our meagre squad - and the possible returns if we make the PL in 4 years are stunning 
Now is the time DC should be looking to sell the club 

Jake Rooney picked up a season-long injury and we were a League 1 team that couldn't afford a bottomless squad.
TBF to Kane Wilson, I think his defending improved considerably over the course of the season and he could have been employed as RB in a back 4 if only both of our LBs weren't also injured when Nyambe got injured.

Being accurate doesn’t necessarily make them useful. Plus, as you say, they do tend to bleed into lazy stereotyping and the degree of generalising makes them potentially useless rather than useful. I would hope that no sane person (that criteria doesn’t necessarily eliminate a great deal of people 😀) is going to prejudge an individual or treat them a certain way purely based on the generation they were born in.

Genuine question: How is it useful? Other than for marketing purposes which, means it’s nothing new it’s just that we’ve attached a label to different generations. Any business half decent at marketing (since marketing was invented) would have identified their target audience and designed their product/service (along with the associated branding, promotion and advertising) to appeal to that group.

Why ? That’s the problem today , people want to throw out the bullying or other accusations and we are all supposed just say nothing and not call the accuser out 😂😂😂😂, people are wising up to this tactic , shall we all worry about pulling you up on your constant contrary negative posts that verge on trolling of people to whom derby county is a passion and you enjoy poking with a stick on a regular basis,,, 
classy ( or rather as you mean it not classy ) is winding people up constantly then calling bully when they react as you know they will ,
by all means carry on with the stuff you post but don’t call bullying and play the victim 🤷🏻‍♂️

Well you could argue that it was Mel who gave him an over inflated contract at the time that we’re now not willing to match.
 
With such big earners in the squad at the time and Sibleys electric burst onto the scene the numbers probably seemed justified. Circumstances have vastly changed since and he was likely one of the highest earners at the club last season. 

Am I missing something (quite likely)?
Not particularly wishing to defend him but how is losing Sibley (if he does actually go) with zero compensation down to Mel? 
He survived the cull required to survive administration and if the current ownership/management regime thought he was worthy, we could offer him terms sufficient to generate a compensation payment.
