Surprised we haven’t kept Collo as back up….

Hiring Phillip Cocu was a colossal mistake.  He was too lazy to study what works in the Championship before taking on the job and too self absorbed and blinkered to recognize that his style of football wasn't working and wouldn't.

I heard this on the radio when it came out and loved it straight away, it was the first song I heard with Costello, that's one heck of an introduction.  Thanks for this @Comrade 86

Off to see him in Wolves later this year 

Thanks @ramit I love Costello. This is very much a desert island disc for yours truly.

The demand here was that Israel be removed from the competition this year, the call to withdraw participation came because that demand was not met.
It is up to individuals whether to take part in any social activity, but the reasoning matters.  To say, if I don't get my way, then I won't play is childishly overbearing.

Is this the right room for an argument?

I have absolutely no idea wtf I've been listening to for the past 2 hours, other than to assume it comes under the "Techno" umbrella, and I can't be arsed to go around the corner and down 7 doors to ask!
... But then, I caught a blast of that "pump it up" ditty, so had great joy in skipping around the back garden doing Eboooooooooooou's balcony version!
I can be quite hip when it matters!
BOOM! 

If he has sense enough to accept a modest wage with bonus incentives and has the right attitude, he might do

In Iceland we choose the song to represent us through a local song competition, so Eurovision is a long running process.  This year loud voices called for us to withdraw from the competition altogether, some of the planned performers even said publicly that they wouldn't go to Malmö if their song was chosen.
One of the performers is a Palestinian immigrant and his song appeared to have a commanding lead in popularity and then indeed won the competition, but wait, according to our state broadcaster RUV some mistake had apparently taken place and a recount was needed, the conclusion being he didn't win.  Dubious that.
Die hard Eurovision local celebrities withdrew any support this year, the traditional announcer pulled out, even the writer of the "winning" song refused to follow the song to Sweden.  All this because Israel was not removed from this year's competition.
I don't support this reaction.
I understand the people's anger over the horrific brutality of Israeli forces in Gaza, I share their feelings, yet I cannot in good conscience condone any type of cancel culture, to punish and exclude musicians, sportsmen and women, anyone representing their country, on the grounds of what their government is doing, to me that is simply wrong.  I don't believe in discriminating against people based on their origin, religion, sex or their personal opinions on various matters, even if I find those views appalling.

And finally Derby’s Daj Brown scores the winning penalty in the shoot out . 

If we rebuild our first team the way we have with our academy we’ll be just fine! Brilliant job by all 

Happy Birthday @Eddie

It suits israel and the msm that the terms anti semitism and anti zionism are conflated. In reality I think very few people are anti semitic - largely people don't know enough about Judaism to dislike it and most Jews that people meet are good people. Most people however, me included, do have many issues with the cruel policies of the state of israel and are rightly anti zionist. 

I think they say "it's just a singing competition. He are 14 euros compensation from future predicted earnings if you had been allowed to complete."

Well he did slightly resemble one Jimmy Savile......
 
Just saying.......

Hoping he makes the team, it's Dajaune Brown's Wembley final today in the FA Trophy, for Gateshead vs Solihull Moors. With apologies to @ram59, it would be brilliant if the lad can return to Derby with a winner's medal and a few goals. 4.15pm kickoff.
 

Hi all,
I just wanted to pop on and say congrats on a successful season and well deserved promotion. I know there's been some ill feeling between fans, mostly on the toxic social media platforms (not helped by a large number of idiots of which we at Bolton have f****** loads). I've scanned through your forum and a few others to regularly to check in on the thoughts of some of our promotion rivals over the season and as forums go, this one is generally positive and full of good and honest opinions. We have another fan called Wanderlust who often peruses the various forums and I feel he is a good fan for honest opinions too. I hope we can join you, I'm sure there's plenty of you hoping we stumble and end up stuck in L1 for at least another year, mainly for the fans who've been making stupid excuses for us not winning points this season. Reality is, you and Pompey were the most consistent teams over the season and thoroughly deserve your promotion, so well done and good luck in the championship next year. With your stadium and fanbase and what your fans have been through (trust me, I know what it feels like too), you deserve some good times now!
 
All the best gents (and ladies)

Much to my delight, our cat Baldur is a music lover and has his own sense of taste.  Not much into the hard rock, yet.
I can tell when he's enjoying a tune, he'll jump into my lap, pretend to nap, or begin grooming.
Of course he enjoyed this.
