    There was a good question on "would Paul Warne at the height of his playing days get into the current Derby team?" 
    He gave a good answer, but the subtext was that he likes athletic players, and that he knows whether a player is Championship standard or not (saying he has no idea why he got games in the Championship because he wasn't good enough!)
    In the context of the later comment  about contract renewals and changes - I think we just have to trust that he will make the right choices (within whatever financial restraints he has)

    I remember hearing a story about someone at Bill Shankly's press conference when he said about football being more important than life or death. Said it was clearly ironic aimed at people who were taking it too seriously.
    I actually just looked up the full quote and it's 'literally' dripping with irony: "Some people believe football is a matter of life and death, I am very disappointed with that attitude. I can assure you it is much, much more important than that."

    if that is to occur we need a GIF of it to be pinned to the front page of the forum, so certain members' piss can be boiled every time they log in.  Admin, make it happen 👍

    Yup - our Guy Fawkes mask-wearing pal has made himself look a chump yet again, but at least now we know what jejune means

    Seems to me that a few have rather missed Banksy's point. He has an extremely successful career away from his graffiti exploits and if anything, he's thumbing his nose at the art establishment, not trying to join it.
    The fact is, he's an activist, pure and simple and makes no claim whatsoever to being a serious artist. The irony is that those who 'tritely' assess his art using the usual hackneyed metrics, are his targets, not his audience.

    Best season we have had in a bloody long time , ground was full to the ginnells Saturday with most staying long after the whistle to celebrate and leaving extremely happy , I was surrounded by singing all the way back to the car , seen some great goals scored and seen some not so great performances in games at times over a long season , if we get promoted this season will live long in the memory of this old boy who’s seen the great times and the lowest of lows ,it will live long as the warne promotion season that I really enjoyed ,
    simple fact is we have one or two posters who are intent on rubbishing anything achieved and winding people up trying to stop them enjoying all the good stuff that’s happening for our club and us fans,
    honestly ? Just stick them on ignore or read there stuff , see it for what it is , laugh and move on without replying and giving them the pleasure of winding you up ,
    it really is that simple 🤷🏻‍♂️

    You're right.
    But now he'll more than likely use that as an excuse to bash Warne's recruitment 🙄

    It could also be argued that 2 of the 9 listed have been at Championship clubs and failed to break into the team.
    The rest have form at Championship level although 2 of the named are clearly in the twilight of their careers.
    I'd say that leaves 5 out of our 21 man squad.

    Wrong. Fallout is almost always used in a negative context. Its dictionary  definition is 
    "the adverse results of a situation or action"

    Ignoring Hourihane as he's already said he is retiring next season apparently - that's 9 players
    I'm not great at maths but in a 21 man first team squad, I'd probably describe 9 as "less than half" rather than "the vast majority"

    And even that comment about booing was said to make the point not to do it during the game itself, to keep supporting the players during the game because it does lift them.

    I was there, and it was a flippant short answer "no" - because all of his other answers had been lengthy and light-hearted
    The context was actually that they don't plan to make any more decisions on contracts until they know what division we are in next season. That the focus is 100% on the seven remaining games
    The bit added on the tweet about "lots of changes" was not, as I remember it, said in the direct context of answering that question. 
    FWIW I recommend everyone watch the replay tomorrow, but only Warne's bits - the rest was really, really dull

    100% - that's really disappointing from Radio Derby. Trying to cause controversy where literally none exists
    I came away thinking that, for once, there was nothing really controversial said. 
    The only bits even vaguely contentious were Matt Hale saying that they taught the academy players to "cheat" 
    and PW saying that he completely respects the rights of the fans to boo his players off the pitch at full time if you feel that they haven't performed well enough

    Well said.
    We were told not to record or anything last night, as the Club would be putting out the full video today.
    I was therefore a bit disappointed to find out that Dietrich was live tweeting, but putting out his own slant on what was said. His headline on X 
    Fallout? Hardly, and the subtext makes it sound like Brown has left as well as Fleming.
    Just slightly seedy and not at all a reflection of the mood of the room last night.
