I'm curious what you think is wrong with Tucker interviewing Putin. And it being broadcast live and unedited on Twitter. What brilliant transparency. Carlson has been by far the most watched political commentator in America, yet lost his voice when dumped by the legacy media.

In this age of new media, he can broadcast via his own channel, but the question is also one of discoverability. Hence those broadcasts also going out on Twitter (hence the watermark to distinguish you're viewing there rather than on his personal channel). The ratings for these pieces are much higher than the political commentary across all legacy news channels in America combined.

If it weren't for Musk, no one would be able to hear Tucker. Are you deciding on behalf of the very many tens of millions who tune in, that they shouldn't be able to? Surely he has a right to be heard?

If Tucker was a threat to the rulers he wouldn't be heard, The fact that he is always broadcast shows he's a member of the club.

I fell for all the left wing loons stuff in the past. Then you find yourself nodding when Cruella and Priti Patel talk. Then you realise Liz Truss is on your side. Next thing you know Jacob Reese Mogg is inviting Farage to your latest Conservative splinter group. 

Then you're throwing Human Rights groups, World Health Organisation, LGBT, Peace Protesters all under the same label as "wokey left wing extremists" (right Liz?)

Reminds me of that funny David Mitchell sketch where he's a Nazi soldier starting to wonder if they might possibly be baddies? 

I read this comment many years ago but only realised what it meant recently.

"The goal is not to have a successful war but an endless war"

Not sure I should post this...but I will, My Dad in 1963 knocked down and killed a pensioner at the corner of Friar Gate and Uttoxeter Rd where the Garrick pub was while driving his bus, The "Clippie" fainted, It was a very foggy day and the poor sod walked straight into the bus.

How about this, The following year he received an award for his driving as he was absolved from all responsibility for the old mans death.  

Accidents happen mate and your dad was exonerated.

Thanks for help with the surf at Lincoln as well and always good to see you 🙂

Thank you @therams69 for letting me help you surf the flag at Lincoln, it was a real honour, it felt great to be a small part of our wonderful fan base that do and can make a real difference  to the whole experience of getting right behind our brilliant Derby County Football Club. 🐏 🏁

And it’s always great to see you @therams69 keep up your wonderful support and carry on loving Derby County Football Club 🖤 🐏

Get a room you pair of melts!

Seriously, much respect to you both. Sorting out the flag must be quite onerous at times, certainly seems so for beer monsters like me who tend to turn up 5 minutes before kick off! Same for Inverurie and his round the world in 80 days trips just to get to a match.

Its people and characters like you who make me proud to be a fellow Derby fan.

Excellent results tonight, Peterborough seeing Olakigbe sent off before scoring 2 own goals to lose 2-1, and in-form Stevenage contriving to lose at home to Reading. Bolton's game abandoned means their fixtures continue to buildup - there might be a stage when it comes back to bite them. Two-thirds of the season down, we're looking at:

1. Bolton 28 58pts 2.07ppg [projected 95]
2. Portsmouth 31 63pts 2.03ppg [projected 93.5]
3. DERBY 30 59pts 1.97ppg [projected 90.5]
4. Peterborough 30 56pts 1.87ppg [projected 86]
5. Barnsley 29 53pts 1.83ppg [projected 84]
6. Stevenage 29 52pts 1.79ppg [projected 82.5]
7. Oxford 30 51pts 1.7ppg [projected 78]
8. Blackpool 30 46pts 1.53ppg [projected 70.5]

I'd say Oxford are now out of the running for the autos - they'd need to win 14 out of their last 16 games.

I think 94 points will likely get second place, which means 11 wins and 2 draws for us. Win 12 of the last 16 and we're surely over the line.

 

If we get past easter one or two points from automatic we'll do it.

Last 4 games,

Wycombe A

Orient H

Cambridge A

Carlisle H

Just nick 2nd spot with a win at Cambridge and have an end of season celebration party at home to Carlisle.

Bit like 1975.

It seems though that Biden's blatant pro Israel bias might hurt him in the upcoming election.  

Not that the other option will be any better for the Palestinians mind.... 

You'd have to wonder what the situation in Israel/Palestine would be now, if the US had been an honest unbiased influence throughout the decades rather than always staunchly pro Israel, and blocking whatever the UN was trying to accomplish in the region. 

The sad truth is, even as many of the younger generation in the US are now questioning the US's automatic reflexive support for Israel against the Palestinians, both of their next Presidential candidates are among the most pro-Israeli presidents there has ever been in the White House.  

All the main parties in western countries are pro Israel. Oil, gas and trade through the red sea is the reason and always has been.

The Empire never really stopped when it comes to money and commerce. 

Went to an Indian Restaurant last night and had the Pelican curry.

Food was ok but the bill was enormous.

Just had a quick tidy up, switched the lights off and shut the door for a week....

Hope he gets boo’d. Why would we want him back on loan. Give fornah , Thompson,sibley or new guy a go.   What a pathetic transfer. 

Wow. 

Of all the things we could moan about this season, James Collins is not one of them.

He gives 100% every time he pulls the shirt on and scores goals. 

Yes we can moan about tactics and team selections etc, but Collo's effort, comittment and goals are beyond reproach. He's an honest pro playing at his level and giving it everything.

We were short of available strikers so Bruce Rioch played up front and scored four.

Step up Liam Thompson.

Rioch was phenomenal for us in his first stint. Just checked his record and he scored 34 goals in 104 games as a midfielder. Most of those goals were worldies. Top player, skillfull, hardworking and as hard as nails. He'd put a crunching tackle in then stroll away with the ball majestically.

Him and Archie in midfield with Zak and Charlie up front........can I sue DCFC for making me believe it would always be like that?

I'll forgive them if Collo pokes a 90th minute winner in at Charlton.

I was my first game at the Baseball ground 

I remember walking to the ground from the railway station and buying a programme and thinking why a newspaper?

But what a game....

We would have walked the same route no doubt, Midland Road, London Road, Bateman Street, Ossie Road, Douglas Street up to the Grange 🐏❤️

Anybody remember 8 v 2 win over Spurs back in the 70's?

I was there, unbelieveable times. Dave Mackay was sacked a month later.

The previous season we finished 4th, FA Cup semi-finals and only just went out of the European Cup 6-5 on aggregate to Real Madrid.

I thought he was great in U21s for us and said he had a future but he is no Roy McFarland or Colin Todd 

Tbf mate there's only ever been 1 or 2 players better than them in history. 

Its a high bar to measure him against!

Looks like a three way scrap now between Everton, Luton and the gumps for the final relegation spot.

Just watched the holders, Senegal go out to the hosts Ivory Coast on penalties, (or Cote D'ivoire as the commentators love saying). For some reason found myself getting involved and cheering on the Elephants!

Looking forward to the quarter finals now.

I think this explains why he never quite hit the heights we thought he might. Watching a few interviews with him at Watford, I got the sense he was happy with his lot earning good money in a profession he could abide. I don't really blame him for it.

I could watch him play all day. From the moment he made his debut (was it v Tranmere in the cup?), he immediately became my favourite player since the 70's heroes.

In his debut game he looked anything but a footballer, skinny, young kid that he was, but he calmly took down an awkward 40 yard pass and passed it on accurately without thinking about it. Easy. Very gifted player, intelligent and made others around him look good with the weight of his passes and vision.

You say he's never really hit the heights yet he's had a good career in the top flight of English football. How high do you have to go to be recognised as a top footballer?

If we go up i'd expect David Clowes to sell a few members of his family to finance Hughsey's return to see us back to the Prem.

Whilst I appreciate that the above post is made in jest, 'Sack Warne' isn't an option, is it?

Last week, it was 'revealed' that we are having to juggle finances between a so-called 'loan pot' and 'perm pot' to get anyone (CBT) through the door - I would think it highly unlikely, under the circumstances, that we have a 'Sack Warne' pot.

We are still under the EFL/Kieran Maguire/Gibson/Parry protocol that stops us competing. Sacking Warne will not be an option for us from a financial perspective,

Yes there will be fans that moan at anything that’s football I’m afraid but are you seriously telling me you are happy with the brand of football we are playing under Warne? I for one won’t be renewing my season ticket next season purely down to the fact the football to watch as a spectator is shi—e. Even if we go up it won’t change my mind, am sure there’s a few on here like you saying good riddance, problem is there’s quite a few more that will be following me 😢🤦‍♀️

 

I'm sure some will follow you and not renew. Also quite a lot will continue to support Derby no matter what, If we go up this season we will remember it as a promotion season and celebrate it as such.

There was some really sh!7e games during the Arthur Cox promotion seasons tbh but by christ it was a fantastic period to be a Derby fan.

Enjoy it and get behind the team. We can make a difference at the match.
