How about a Fathers4Justice type protest @B4ev6is
Possible things you could do:
1) superglue yourself to the Clough and Taylor statue outside the ground.
2) chain yourself to Steve Gibson’s front gates
3) lie down on the road in front of EFL headquarters
4) hold one of Rick Parry’s kids hostage. Chop a finger off for every PPS point deducted.
There really is loads you can do. Keep us posted.

Just goes to show how we all see the same game so very differently. I didn't score anyone less than a 7.0 tbh and, without uprooting trees, I though much of Baldock's work was clever and helped us in attack. I also thought Lawrence was worthy of a notably better score than his average rating above. 
Thank you all again. Special mention to @bcnram and @TexasRam for submitting ratings in all 10 matches, closely followed by @Yani P (9) , @angieram (8) and @Carnero (also 8).
We shall reconvene in a couple of days. I shall have to set the thread up for the Swansea ratings on Friday night as I am away and mostly phoneless on the Saturday. 
A full update of podium finishes, top 10 performances, MotM awards and season ratings thus far for each player will follow the weekend match.

My personal favourite deal during the Mel era was sending Chris Martin off to Fulham for 12 months, with a likelihood of sale, giving him an extended and enhanced contract 6 months into that deal as Mac wanted him back, sacking Mac 2 months later, and then loaning out Martin for a couple of seasons. Genius.

Really? He handed them the opportunity to give us a 12 point penalty on a plate.

Not being able to put my socks on without the support of a chair or bed.
Moaning about the 'music of today'.
Thinking a porridge shortage is a major food crisis.
Staring for too long at young women.
Enjoying a short doze after a lunch even though I have loads of work to do.
All of these things have happened to me today. If I kept a week's diary David would need to increase his server storage space.

Just seen a bloke coming out of Tesco with 4 crates of San Miguel, 5 paellas and 3 sombreros, I thought to myself............
 
Hispanic buying.

Ah, he’s gone all shy again ?
 

Roos did put his hands on the Referee too. Fortunately Roos couldn’t hold on to him, not too surprised really, but the fine could have been a lot more if he had punched or slapped him away.

Government owes Derby £20 million compo for lost revenue , Derby owes Government in tax so they are quits in my book . 

Just thought I'd say hi. 
Been a long time visitor to this forum and enjoyed reading your comments (most of them anyway!). Decided to finally become a member so I can share my own thoughts, after what has been a whirlwind couple of weeks for the Rams (not to mention the couple of years leading up to it). Whether you enjoy my comments remains to be seen...
A bit about me – I was born in Burton but have spent the most of my adult life living and working in the East (Anglia that is). One of my earliest memories of the Rams was watching the Tin Man warming up at the BBG by nonchalantly curling the ball into the net from the corner flag, which to my 10 year old eyes was very impressive. The only thing I remember about the game itself was that it was 0-0, so McMinn's corners were probably  the most exciting thing about it.
Currently living near Ipswich so would be good to meet any fellow Suffolk Rams over a pint (ale not lager please). Not seen many Derby shirts down this way but know from this forum that there are a few.
Regardless of the situation we're in, loving the fight we're showing this season (and better football). Hope things get resolved soon so we can look to the future, whatever division that may be. 
COYR!

It is sobering stuff, but the Administrators did say yesterday that Mel Morris is working proactively with them to complete a deal whereby any new owners get the stadium too as part of the deal.
If the deal amount is c£75m to include the stadium that isn’t too bad a deal for someone with deep pockets, and a reasonable return on investment timescale.
I have been one of Mel Morris’s biggest detractors for some time (early 2016 I was uncomfortable with his stewardship) but if he does do a deal whereby the club is bought by someone credible for somewhere around the same price he paid for it, and the stadium is included in the deal, then I will be pleased to acknowledge there is some honour due. Yes he gambled the club to the edge of existence, and yes he will have left it in a far worse playing state than when he took over (with us most likely consigned to at least one season in League 1) but if he does do that it will be him who will have waved goodbye to all of his £200m+ of investment. I won’t be happy, but I will be somewhat more forgiving, when listening to Jeff Stelling and Kammy informing me next season of a hard earned one nil away win for the Rams at Burton.

If they want money from us then they can join the queue.....

With your level of detective skills you should consider a job with the London Met.

It was a joke. 
He hasn't got the greatest touch and is an average passer, but he will battle all day.
He is exactly what we need this season, but we need better in the long run and Bielik will probably replace him.
