He is fully trained as a PE teacher, it was his ambition and he does it voluntarily. So, it is pretty accurate 😜

But he had a solid career as a professional footballer and has had success in his managerial career. Just feels unnecessarily disrespectful tbh.

Fair enough wanting him out (I'm on the verge), but the whole PE teacher thing is both inaccurate and disrespectful.

Yep. Makes you wonder what might have happened if we'd set up to have some possession of our own? 

Maybe they'd have still got their two but we might have had three or four ourselves. 

Warne does give the opposition too much respect, imo.

How long would you give him, Angie?

We really missed the boat in 2013/14. In another universe, Derby beat QPR, Thorne doesn’t get injured in pre season and we easily stay up with Thorne, Hughes and Hendrick forming a comfortable PL midfield.

Even 18/19. We win that game and there's a chance we re-sign some of the loanees (maybe even upgrading our manager if Lampard still went) and sneak survival. Who knows what happens after that.

Definitely wasn't as bad as watching this. We might have got beaten a lot but there were at least moments of decent football. This is just crap. 

I don’t know, I got pretty sick of closing my laptop after yet another defeat!

What was the last Derby side that played this way on a consistent basis?

Pearson's side?

So, so bad.

As Ed Dawes said earlier, "I wouldn't want to watch this every week"

Sorry, Ed, but you do. 

We were absolutely honking for most of the Cocu/Rooney season.

With the rumours of Warne not wanting to include the academy and never watched a game in the academy, I don’t believe he’s the right fit for our club. 
 

The football is atrocious 

Where’s that from?

I know it’s early in the season but I just don’t believe in Warne - sorry I’d love to have my mind changed but I can’t see it happening.

Yes the ref is poor but he’s not the reason we look so tired and devoid of ideas - it’s awful.

Yep. We’ve barely laid a glove on them. I know things can change quickly, but based on today’s performance there’s zero chance we finish anywhere near Bolton in the table.

Hard to see from our camera angle. But Wildsmith was absolutely adamant that the ball hit his chest. Perhaps if the ball had hot his chest there would be a red welt across his chest. So he should have lifted his shirt front to show the ref - who would book him for removing his shirt!

Wildsmith is also a massive poohouse!

Impossible to say with any certainty but I’d say it looked more like a handball than a chest.

Had to do some parenting (inconsiderate little so and so’s) meaning I’ve missed everything since half time. Should it have been a red? 

RamsTV angle wasn’t good enough to see properly.

Holy smash and grab, come on then🐏

These are just miles better than us 

3 RBs injured. Reminds me of that year we played about 7 different LBs. Think it was during Mac II.

Bolton look unreal 

They’re well fun when you’re pissed.

Hudson Odoi interesting one, lost his way since the injury and insane money Bayern were offering. Still only 22 as well which seems crazy.

If they can get him up and running then that £45m for Johnson will be phenomenal business for them as that's a hell of a lot of money for him, one that Spurs may come to regret.

Would be better off taking a punt on Hudson Odoi themselves.

CHO not done anything close to what he was expected to do for years. Sure, there's a chance he rediscovers what he had, but I doubt he'll ever get to the top level now. Don't think it would be a great signing for Spurs.

Henderson getting picked is a bit of a surprise. Didn't think he'd fit in with the ethos of the team.

He made it clear in his recent Talksport interview that Henderson would still be considered for selection. I lost a lot of respect for him in that interview - it came across like he'd be very interested in a job in Saudi after his England tenure is over.

Who owns Youtube? I have no idea, other than being part of the mega Alphabet/Google corp - which for the record, I fully expect to be a corrupt organisation who couldn't care less about human rights. Musk on the other hand has publicly offered to pay the legal fees of anyone who gets into trouble for exercising free speech on Twitter, so it's perfectly OK to call him out on why he has remained silent here

I think what you're saying is that he's OK to turn a blind eye because he has said he'd respect the laws of the land. Even if that law is "the death penalty for anyone mildly critical of the regime". Wow

I mean - it kind of sounds like you're OK with the death penalty for talking naughty on social media. Which is weird because you were normally one of the first to pile in to slag off Muslims for their beliefs, before they banned religion

Elon fanbois being tied up in knots over this.

Of course you would assume that 👍

FWIW and just in case it needs spelling out, I am obviously not okay with the death penalty for social media posts.  I'm arguing is that its a bit 'Musk bad man' to single out him when literally every major corporation bends over backwards when it comes to earning the almighty dollar in that part of the world. 

I'm sure a big part of the reason why Musk is being criticised here is because the people in this thread simply don't like him. But the bolded part of Stive's post is also very relevant.

Although anyone who took that offer seriously is a fool - it was clearly one of the many promises he makes and decisions he takes on a whim, then appears to forget about the next day.

This.

A flawed man, but one I can't help but like. And I'll always be grateful to him for giving us what was, despite the relegation, one of my favourite ever seasons as a Derby supporter.

It looked a few years like it was going to be the greatest of times to be a heavyweight fan but, as ever, the promoters and the broadcasters and the matchmakers have robbed us of any chance of that ever being the case.

This might be me being ignorant of boxing history, but surely if they made Fury vs Joshua immediately following Fury vs Wilder II, it would have smashed British boxing viewership records?

You want to try and get balanced views. But we live in a divided world. Anyone who is pro Queensberry anti match room is claiming cheating while the opposite is claiming low blow.

I’ve not gone through all but several boxers or former boxers like Charlie Edwards, Liam Smith and Carl Froch have come out and said it was low. Unintentionally illegal. 

Carl Frampton said it was a good shot but then again he is employed by Warren’s broadcasters. 

Bellew saying it was low. He's Eddie's mate isn't he?

Johnny Russell vs Lionel Messi on September 9th. Some match up.

Poohousery is a vital part of the English game and shouldn’t be stamped out.
