Well said! For the first 15 - 20 minutes there was only one team on the pitch. But why you have to resort to the dark arts baffles me. You are one of, if not the best team in the division. Your number 33 (Woodhead?) in that 1st 20 minutes didn't make a challenge for the ball without it being a foul. Your number 10 dived for a penalty, which the ref rightly gave the free kick to us, but it was a card-able offence, but no card given. And no, the ref wasn't inconsistent with his cards. All he was capable of doing was booking your players for time wasting, but then doing nothing about the continued time wasting. Clarke should also have one or two more yellow cards for persistent fouling, and for throwing the ball away right in front of the ref. Yet he couldn't wait to give free-kicks for perfectly good tackles, and then wave a card at Derby players. He was exceptionally consistent, as well as not giving free kicks or cards for similar offences by Ipswich players.
The "Cashin goal" was actually scored by McGoldrick, and disallowed for a foul on the goalkeeper. By whom, no-one actually knows because there was no-one near him. The only foul was Collins being held in a headlock in the middle of the area. But no penalty given, of course. As happened when knight was upended going into the area in the first half. There's a ton of other stuff the ref goofed up with, but there is neither the time nor space to bother with it. Incidentally the lino apologised for that decision. But its a bit rich when we keep getting done over by poor decisions match after match, often with subsequent apologies. But you don't get in the play-offs with apologies.  We would rather have the 6 - 10 points these decisions have cost us.
Because of how you started and finished the match, maybe you were worth the points, and I would like to wish you well, but am not happy doing so for a team that relies so heavily on the dark arts, especially when you are such a good footballing side.

Err no, Chaplin dived, and should have been booked, but wasn't.

Well, they were 3 minutes celebrating their first goal, not to mention 2 minutes of players going down with fake injuries, plus the thrower being booked for time-wasting plus him signalling to the goalkeeper to get on with it twice. Added up they gave 3 minutes for that.
So  I reckon with that level of mathematical genius, another goal celebration, booking for time-wasting, guy rolling round on touchline in agony  plus a parade of well-timed 'slow the game down' substitutions most fans presumed they'd be deducting a few minutes from the 90  rather than giving some back!
As it happens, they must have substituted the timekeeper too  who added on a decent whack. Really painful to watch them play out when the game had gone completely flat.

Err no, Chaplin dived, and should have been booked, but wasn't.

They were empty.

Was there a shout for penalty for a foul on Knight on 20 mins?
I missed a few mins around then 

Well over the top there - go and have a pint or two 

Just got back from the game - that was the result I expected before the game started.
After 20 mins I feared it would be a lot worse than that. The team tried but we lost to a better team simple as!
They have had the same manager for 18 months and strengthened in several transfer windows - during which they have spent a considerable amount of money. 
No disgrace for us at all today, it’s disappointing but hardly surprising!

4th loss in 5 games for a Derby County side playing in the third tier of English football. 
Arguably one of the most embarrassing months in this club’s history. I’m sure it’s the first time in our history we’ve lost three times in a row at this level. 
Team needs to f****** sort their s*** out and pronto. I’m not going into individuals but I wouldn’t be sad to see the back of anyone in this side. They’ve got it all on to avoid being recorded as the worst Derby County side in history at this rate. 

We only get poo refs. And Lino’s too.

If Warne picked Sibley as an attacking midfielder our goal threat would be consistently transformed. For once it's not rocket science.

Parry hacked into his headset I’ve heard👀….. “PUSH PUSH NO GOAL” Flag up.

Ipswich were deserved winners.
They have such a good balance for this league - pace, power, physicality, height, tenacity, a command of the dark arts, but also the capability of playing some good, fast, attacking football.
They are what Rotherham under Warne might have been if he’d had a bigger budget.
I can understand the disappointment. It’s an awful run we’re on. But I don’t think there’s much point digging into Warne or the team.
We are evidently still a work in progress.

Why is it embarrassing, @one_chop? The statistics were always against us and I thought we would lose 1 - 3. Ipswich have not had the same embargoes against them and I thought we did pretty well today. Our performance was far from embarrassing.

And when the two players were down for two or three minutes to time waste, why weren't they made to leave the field after "treatment"? Surely that's a plain "error of law" on the part of the referee?

Remember him coming on for the last 10 mins of the Sheffield Wednesday 3-3 game. First touch was a cross on the head of Strupar who scored, that’s the difference he could make.

Oh come on. He spent a large proportion of his time on the bench or out on the wing. Spot a recurring theme, with the only thing missing being played at left back.
He also got neck ache when he was in midfield from looking up watching the ball wizzing past 3 miles in the air.
His best position was in “the hole” behind the strikers, but was only played there once - against John Gregory’s Aston Villa. He ran the match and we destroyed them. I can’t actually remember the next match, but it is highly likely that he was back on the bench for that one. 🙄
He wasn’t a poor signing, he was a wasted one.

Don’t know about anybody else, but I’m going to give the little tackles a pretty good yell as well!
COYR!
