CWC1983

Clarke has got the team playing a system that all the players have bought into and enjoy playing. 
It helps that we have players that are comfortable on the ball. I thought Mcgregor and Gilmour bossed the midfield. 
Tierney named in the team give them a boost pre match whereas him missing out on Monday was a kick in the guts. 
O Donnell came in for a load of stick after Monday, but he was brilliant last night. 
A win on Tuesday should see us through and Croatia have never beaten us. It will be tough but at least we've given ourselves a chance. 
The biggest complement I can give them is that they went away to a much more fancied team and there wasn't a great difference between the 2 sides. 

Scotland were superb. They probably should have won on balance of chances created.
I can’t believe we were down as one of the favourites for the tournament.
We have been so lacklustre in both games. The funny thing is this format means you only need to play one good game from four and you can find yourself in the quarter finals.

Will you ever learn?.........Have you not seen this all before?.............keep on waiting............it's the hope and the over hyping that will destroy us once again........Think again and again.......
 

Harry Kane is Grant Hanley's bitch, pass it on.

I'd like to think we can cause you more problems on Friday that Croatia did today. 
 

As a kid I never expected to see Finland in a major football tournament or seeing a Finish player in Wimbledon. It was really a long shot about forty years ago. Now I've seen both.?

Followed Scotland, 3 nights in London, 4 in Birmingham and 4 in Nottigham.
The atmosphere in Bham and Notts was brilliant, Wembley was good pre match but nasty after it.
Utter despondency when Mcallister missed that penalty to new depths when Gascoigne scored his goal. 
We should have scored 1 more goal v Switzerland to qualify, but we also should have got horsed by Hollland in the 1st game. 
You should have won that tournament, a real missed opportunity. 
It's a crying shame that England hasn't hosted a world cup since 66, it would be an absolute belter.

My cousin got a great little job working as a photograph runner at the City Ground.  Back in the days before online technology the nationals would take pictures of the games and the films had to couriered off during play to get the newspaper print prepared.  
She gave me a pretty garish looking all white official press jacket with Euro 96 on it after she was done with it.  No idea where it went . I have form for such things .
Seem to remember a lot of Derby fans went to the City Ground as Croatia had there group games there during the Igor days.  I can also remember the excitement that we'd signed Asanovic for 10p before the tournament and he was brilliant.  
Very fond memories of that time .  Life seemed a lot simpler and people seemed a lot less miserable - even prior to the misery of the last year- and the music was better an all.

That's the skill of a recruitment team and manager. 
Pick up players that offer something more or different than you have at your club at the moment.
Just because a player is released from Middlesbrough, Bolton or Sheff Wed doesn't mean he's not of use to Derby. 
There could be personal family reasons behind it, a falling out with the manager, not fitting into a style of play, or perhaps the player has sat tight and waited for his contract to expire before wanting to try somewhere else. 

Clubs across the country seem to be releasing more 1st team squad players than usual. 
It might be a sign that they are attempting to lower wage bills. 
There could well be a glut of players on the market that will have to lower their wages expectations.

From the chief sports writer at the Tomes, Martin Zeigler,
For all you football fans out there - Helen McNamara who said 'I think we're absolutely ******' is the Premier League's new No 2!
 

Well done on posting this ?. Keep talking and listening.

Me and my partner had a good conversation about the past year and how it has affected us differently. It has been really difficult on many relationships and COVID has made us both more resilient to deal with all kinds of rubbish being thrown from every direction.
My career went down the toilet as soon as it was evident COVID was here to stay, I was absolutely devastated. I finally found a job I was really interested in, good people supporting me at work as well. I've always found jobs to be very tedious after awhile because I want to learn new things so this was an ideal fit. Thankfully I found something else fairly quickly but it has been a grind, getting moved to different shifts every couple of months hasn't been great for my health. Paying the bills was the most important thing on my mind. My partner's university course has been awful. Students getting a rough deal because the miscommunication and lack of support, COVID being every excuse for very simple questions. Adapting to change is tough but we've got through it. 
It's good to see some normality resuming. You take for granted seeing family and going out for a drink in a local. I'm happy to forget about the last 12 months now and look forward. Vaccine all booked too. 

Shankland will be £1.5 -£2m minimum. I guess that rules Derby out. 
Siegriest is a good keeper but possibly £0.5m.
There's a decent crop of players coming out of Scotland at the moment but mostly youngsters, and the clubs will look for transfer fees due to the length of contracts they are on. 
 
 
 

Just did the same, brought it forward by 2 weeks. 

So Josh Taylor did the business against the previously undefeated Jose Ramirez and is now one of only 5 fighters to have unified a division in the 4 belt era. Calling out Terence Crawford for a fight in Edinburgh Castle next.
Fair play son, fair play! ?
