How can Lawrence be criticised for tonight? He never even played. 

Playoffs my ass lol, we can't even beat the worst team in the league away from home.  Things will improve eventually well I hope so anyway, but theres fat chance of playoffs.

Being unhappy with the manager is one thing. But using how he talks to insult him. Grow up. Much like calling him Coco. Pathetic.
Last match day thread for me.

What a bunch of hysterical ninnies on here tonight. 

Just tuned in after work. What have I missed? 

I love Chris Martin with all my heart. 

It’s our own fault for scoring! 

My claim to fame is I actually met 2 of my Derby Idols. I met Brian Clough a few years before he died. He gave me a signed copy of his book that I treasure. And back many years ago I met Kevin Hector who for me is one of Derby's all time greats,! 

Great draw if we advance!
A good incentive for these players to perform over the next few weeks.
We are almost certain to be on TV again - which will be welcome given the state of the finances.
If we play with the same desire and intensity we have in recent home games, we have a fighting chance.

i am no fan of the "woke" constantly offended crowd, yet i oppose discrimination of any kind.  We don't see it the same way, that's alright.
One point i want to address though.  If ginger discrimination is real, dismissing it is trivialising the problem to the max.

I would guess the vast majority of current club owners / chairmen have never held a similar position at another club so explain how they become 'experienced'.
Just another cheap shot at our owner.

Which you continue discussing, albeit without any substance, except to mock for the sake of mocking.
Got a problem with me?  Address me directly.

Well it is a form of bullying and god knows the ginger kids at our school were consistently mocked for their hair colour and pale freckly skin
I think it’s wrong and won’t condone any type of body-shaming, but we’re at the point in the woke/anti-woke debate where if someone makes a ginger joke, it’s too tiresome to even bother trying to pull them up on it because you just get “woke-shamed”
For the record my "ginger privilege" joke on this thread was not body-shaming, but  based on the long-standing British urban myth that James Hewitt is Prince Harry’s secret father based on not much more than the fact that they both have ginger hair.

Thank you for that explanation, i gladly confess i still have much to learn about UK culture.
As a former recipient of extreme bullying, i suppose i am overly quick to see signs of bullying elsewhere.

Taking something seriously does not equate taking offense.  Targeting a group of people with lame jokes on their physical appearance is callous, it causes hurt and resentment and i repeat it is a form of bullying.  The responses i have gotten so far makes me suspect that red headed folks may be so mocked in your country that if they dare mention it they only get more of the same.
i am a dumb blonde btw

At school age people are bullied for being ginger; people are bullied for literally anything there though and its certainly not treated as acceptable. Because bullying just isn't.
In adulthood; it's more of an in-joke for the UK. It is always tongue-in-cheek; at least in my and everyone I've ever known's experience. I've never know anyone to sincerely think differently of people with orange hair than they do anyone else just because of it.

Strawberry blonde, per chance?
 
Sorry, that was too easy.

Some of the posters on here are bad enough! JoFlo, Jofozoon, Josefoon, Joflozoon. It's endless!

I wish there was but there's no such thing as ginger privilege. 
Even Harry as realised that.
The most maligned section of society.
