A reminder.
Take your pick to what to focus on, but this is probably the worst of the lot: "In January 2021, and after ten witnesses of the case have already died, and after reviewing the case, the judge came to the conclusion that there was no evidence implicating Marinakis, and therefore concluded his investigation."
I hope this stuff starts getting more national attention.

Jesus H 😂
More than anything, though, it is the spoiled and self-entitled response of a club whose owner has a history of this. It is only three years since Olympiakos, also owned by Evangelos Marinakis, criticised the “darkest days of Greek refereeing ever”. A specific target of that criticism was the president of the “central refereeing committee”, who Olympiakos said they were withdrawing “confidence” in. The individual? Mark Clattenburg, who by 2024 Marinakis had enough confidence in to employ as Forest refereeing consultant.

He’s a fan from South Korea, did a UK trip earlier this season, I saw him at Burton away and he was getting a lot of attention. He gets up at ungodly hours to watch games and often posts the goals/key highlights live on Twitter.
But for this season of all seasons, it has to be B4. I downloaded the FanHub app purely to nominate him.

Ah, yes, I met Lee when he came over. I think he was 100% proof at the time! 😂

Fair.
See Kernow's response re Lee. He's a proper fan who saved up to come over for a couple of games, and he made Derby Twitter very wholesome for a little while. His (illegal) live tweeting of the goals is a great service for fans that can't watch the full game live too.
But obviously I'm voting for our mate!

This week is dragging already.

Not a new video, but the club tweeted it out today. Great watch.

Fozzy on for the last five.

This in spades 🙌 
Bittersweet for sure and as much a relief as anything, after our troubles. it's been a proper slog and we still need one more big performance to be sure. I wouldn't worry about B4 too much though, as word has it he told the big boss he was nipping out for milk on Saturday evening and has not been seen since 👀

The opportunity to win promotion at Pride Park, in front of a sell out crowd, after what the club has essentially gone through the last four years, is something that could create memories that will last a lifetime.
If, and hopefully when it happens, I'll definitely spare a thought for B4 and others who marched through the city to help keep the club alive but sadly won't be here to see this significant step in our rebuilding process.

Who is DCFC Lee? 
I personally don't think Clowes should win it. Just not appropriate,  this award is about ordinary fans.
Clowes deserves all the accolades for what he did (last season, actually) bit in a different arena to this one.

Not a new video, but the club tweeted it out today. Great watch.
 

Ah, Mendez-Laing! 
I told him I'd voted for him for POTS, and he said that everyone was saying that, and how come he hadn't won it, then? 😂
Really friendly guy.
 

No surprise there, married to you. 😄

He was a lovely lad and would have been so proud of the team.  
Hope the team can get promotion for the club and fans .
 

Those were pretty much the exact words he shouted at me minutes after beating Leeds in the play offs.

Cheers Rich. You’re right on the social thing. I’ve gone from being a season ticket holder and regular away traveller, to watching on my laptop on my own at 8am this season. And I’ll admit, it’s massively affected how invested I’ve been. 
I found out a couple of weeks ago that I could be home for the final two games (received some financial assistance for the flight), and it’s like I’ve never been away. I got in from a night out at 4am on Saturday morning, and yet it was the easiest wake up call I’ve ever had for the game.

We’d be getting the mother of all rallying cries this week! Good job he trained us so well that we know exactly what he’d say.

Couldn’t find a standalone Clowes thread, so started this one. As someone who was very much in the Warne Out camp and thought Clowes was making a mistake for keeping him on, I have to hold my hands up and say he was bang on to hold his nerve and not be swayed by an increasing amount of hostility.
I still have my thoughts on how the club should be run differently, but we can save those for another day. I may have missed it, but this man needs a proper song ASAP.
