Shinnie and defence working so hard 

Kamara SSN saying Sheff Utd players convinced ref. Suppose your players would but is ref just a soft arse ? 

I to was very sceptical that Wayne Rooney was the man to take us forward, but over the last few weeks I have been won over by his honesty, integrity and willingness to fight for OUR club.  Yes, he's a 'rookie manager', but at the beginning of this season we can see an improvement, a style of play that he's striving to achieve, but it's over the past few hours that he has shown those qualities that I mentioned at the start of this post.  So I say to you, Wayne Rooney, thank you for the commitment that you are showing and we, the fans, are behind you, 100%......DNA!

Did anyone hear Jordans outburst on TalkShite this morning?  He absolutely laid into Rooney for criticizing Mel Morris for not answering his calls and for his lack of sincerity in the meeting with staff and players.  Jordan seems to think the manager has no right to be kept informed of the situation and even suggested Rooney should be grateful to Morris for giving him the job.  It left me fuming.

In today's press conference, Rooney denied this.
He did say though that he had bought some training equipment out of his own pocket.

Not sure if this has already been said and probably not much to be said in terms of disscussion but just wanted to say thanks for the coverage! Todays programs were really good! Ed and Owens interviews and coverage has really helped me understand whats going on! 
 
Not sure if they read this forum but thanks lads, keep it up! Up the Rams ?⚽️?⚽️

Knowing our current bunch of players, I think they'd be offering to do this even if it wasn't suggested to them.

Just been watching Sky sports news and what hit me was the irony of 2 topics of their program this morning.
First they were waxing lyrical over 'Liverpool's' future superstar wonder kid, Kaide Gordon and within minutes were discussing the demise of our club. They didn't mention at all the fact that Liverpool virtually 'stole' him from us.
How unfair is the system whereby a club has invested heavily in its academy, loses a player worth 10s of millions for a pittance. Nevermind the rights or wrongs of how Derby have got in this mess with overspending elsewhere, we have also spent money in the right place to develop a talent worth tens of millions of pounds, but without getting the reward.
No offense to Kaide or to Liam Delap, but if they had had the interests of the club at heart, like Jude Bellingham at Birmingham, we would be a lot better off. Jude Bellingham waited until his 17th birthday before signing professionally for the Blues, who then immediately sold him to Dortmund for £25M. You can't blame our youngsters because they may have picked up a career ending injury before their 17th, but you can blame the football system which allows this to happen.
So because of the different attitudes of three 16 year olds, Blues are plus £25M and Derby plus £2M when it should be plus £50M.
Derby's academy should have been able to clear our debts, but the system has prevented it.

I'm afraid things just don't add up still for me.
This situation is all down to Covid (MM)
We have a sustainable model (club statement)
Covid cost us £20m income (MM)
I have been writing a cheque of between £1.5m and £2m per month (MM).
So how since 30 June 2018 have we managed to burn through the £80m received for the ground, plus 2 years worth of season ticket money, not paid HMRC in excess of £20m and also ran up debts with Gabay and MSD.
Must be something wrong with my calculator!

Surprised he remembered his name

It's enough to get you on Mel's list of 'credible buyers', just above Eric Alonso, if that counts.

Ref booked shinnie first half then gets a similar tackle on him ref doesn’t even give a free kick ???

Have to say that I had a lump in my throat as they walked out of the tunnel today..... 

I'm more annoyed that bouffant tart Gibson's mob are beating Blackpool. I'm hoping for serendipity.....?
Pleased with our performance so far. No sign at all of downing tools. 

Blancmange has more consistency than the refs in this division.... terrible decision to book Shinnie.

Festy's back training!

Such a committed press. Attitude looks absolutely spot on (credit to Rooney as well as the players)
