    Tamworthram reacted to Caerphilly Ram in Match Thread: Carlisle United (h)   
    Because he’s a good player, who has contributed well to the cause over the last few years and could still play one final part in getting us promoted…
    For reference, as it stands Adams, Hourihane, Sibley, Smith, Thompson and Bird are all “going” so we should maybe just play Fornah in midfield on Saturday 😉

    That doesn’t seem to be a very balanced article. 
     
    Diesel engines are more efficient but diesel is more expensive at the pump. Diesel engines emit less CO2 but a higher level of other air pollution. Whilst not as bad, diesel engines are still noisier (I think) and whilst diesel engines may be need less maintenance I believe the cost of such maintenance is higher for a diesel.
    Another article I found seems to suggest the “best” type of fuel may depend on the sort of journeys you generally do.
    Regarding electric cars, the two things that still put me off at the moment, despite improvements, is the purchase cost and the range.

    The fact that Forest employ a 'refereeing consultant' is rather weird. Does any other club on the planet have one?

    Add to that the availability of charging capacity. Not too bad if you have a driveway and a home charge point, but even then you've got to work out your options for long journeys. So you plot a charging station, arrive there and it's already being used. Wait 30 minutes for a free charger and then wait another 30 minutes for yours to charge. Suddenly your journey has taken an hour longer, and you've eaten a whole packet of krispy kremes

    Too late for you now but they do seem to be doing more scans at the weekend these days. Not remotely on the same level but I had a CT scan a couple of weeks ago. At first I was offered Friday afternoon but I couldn’t make it that day. Next offer was Saturday but that was a no no due to Derby playing at home so, they offered me Sunday instead.
    On a slightly separate note, a few years back I was taken in an ambulance to A&E at 7am on a Saturday morning with kidney stone problems. Anyone that’s had kidney stones (my sympathies) will know that often, it’s complete agony for a couple of hours but then sometimes it eases and you generally think you feel OK not long after. I felt OK by lunchtime but my wife (wisely) wouldn’t let me go to Derby. I know I should have been more B4 and just told her I was going but he never met my wife. 🤐

    Depends on your definition of “sizeable section of the fan base”. It only takes a dozen or so vocal individuals on social media voicing their opinion (which of course they are entitled to) to make it appear as if their views are reflective of a much larger group.
    My gut feeling is: a very small majority have total faith in PW’s ability to keep us in the Championship whilst at the same time playing decent football, a small minority want him gone now regardless, some have accepted he is here to stay next season but have already made up their minds that it’s going to be dross, but the overwhelming majority, whilst they may have concerns, think he deserves the chance to prove himself and are trying not to prejudge him.

    For me, watching sports such as cricket, golf and yes (for my sins), some football on SKY I class as entertainment. However, I go to watch Derby County because they are a passion in my life and give me a feeling of inclusion, no matter the level we happen to be playing at. Do I prefer for us to be playing exciting, attacking football - of course, who doesn't - but after a poor performance do I think to myself was I entertained? Never! Frustration and a certain level of annoyance definitely but those feelings fade as we get closer to the next match and we go again.

    It would be the EFL docking points not the FA.

    The big clubs have enough players to put out a reserve team if they want - their 25th best player would likely be paid more than the whole of a lower league’s first team.  So IMO it’s not fixture congestion, it’s just that they don’t make enough money playing against little teams.  Selfish, selfish, selfish.

    The decision should only be overturned if it is ' a clear and obvious mistake'. The ref in front of the screen only has to take a look and decide that is too close to call so the goal stands.

    Offside is offside.
    It doesn’t matter how you draw it up, whether daylight between attacker and defender or not, it is simply on or off.
    It’s incredibly harsh but get rid of VAR and you end up with Coventry in the final via an offside goal.
    We either accept humans (officials) make errors (something that managers, pundits, fans etc. can’t seem to do) or we use technology.
    Many prefer the days of none VAR. but I also remember in the days of no VAR teams like Man Utd would bully referees and you’d never get a decision at Old Trafford.

    Coventry goal against Manchester United. Attacker’s left little toe nail was 1/2cm closer to the goal.
    Surely that isn’t what the offside rule is for?

    If Warne thinks we can be mid-table with having only 8 starting players, I'm not going to argue with him.  Me being a bit of conventionalist, I'd always have 11 players on the pitch at the start of a game.

    Doesn't this constitute ticket touting and isn't ticket touting illegal? If so, it doesn't sound like a very sensible thing to advertise the fact that you're doing it.
