I think most folk now know your opinion - any chance you can give it a rest for a while?

George in 18th and will be even more gutted seeing Lewis take pole - another great performance from the McLarens…

Collins goal, Waghorn on, spare a thought for @RoyMac5 😜

Shame, but he really can't handle the pressure - the more Max wins, the more the pressure and the more mistakes he makes. He's a talented driver, but he's out at RB unless he seriously ups his game...

I am a little tired of the same minority of members that persist in trying to bring party political discussions to this board so I would like to take the time to make our position clear to you all.
Free Speech
This forum does not offer the freedom of speech, we have terms of use in place that prohibits a wide range of content which includes politics, religion and gender related discussions.
You can find our terms of use at the bottom of this forum or using this link
https://dcfcfans.uk/guidelines
Why?
I want to touch on politics first, this forum was never designed or assigned moderates for political discourse. 
Over the years we have tried various ways to allow political discourse however they all descended into insults being thrown around and numerous posts being reported.
Bare in mind the main Derby County board has over a million posts, most of our reports came from topics within this board.
In a recent poll, moderators unanimously voted out all political discussions. Enough is enough.
They, like myself are tired of the same small number of members that cannot tolerate each others views.
May I remind you these moderators give up their own free time for no reward to help moderate this forum. 
We have relaxed the rules slightly to allow topics on global issues for example with the Ukraine War and climate change with Extinction Rebellion which can be seen as political issues, some may have seen this as a green light for all politics. That is not the case.
Party politics still have no place on this forum whatsoever and we reserve the right to lock topics like Ukraine War and Extinction Rebellion if they are used as a way to bring party politics on to the forum.
When I say party politics I am of course referring to the left, right and centre. 
Finally, you will have heard me say numerous times now, without adverts this forum would fail to exist, so we must remain advertiser friendly.
Advertisers do not wish to promote their business/product alongside content that incites hatred against, promotes discrimination of, or disparages an individual or group on the basis of their race or ethnic origin, religion, disability, age, nationality, veteran status, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, or other characteristic that is associated with systemic discrimination or marginalisation.
We as a forum have no issues with prohibiting that kind of content as we want to be welcoming to Derby County fans from all backgrounds.
I do not agree with you or your reasoning!
That is absolutely fine, not a problem, you have a couple of options.
1) Disagree but accept the terms of use we have in place and ensure that your posts do not fall into any of our prohibited content.
2) Quite simply find another platform that will give you that freedom of speech that you desire, Twitter being one option, however I would argue Elon Musks idea of free speech still comes with it's own t&c's.
What if I ignore you?
Consider this post to be every single members verbal warning, if you continue to push back against our terms of use we will be left with no choice but to issues warnings, where multiple warnings would result in a ban.
tl;dr?
I suggest you find the time to read this post.

Erm, shouldn't this be in the 'Other Sport' forum?......

Live footage of Chat GTP's response to OldBen asking it to write a Paul Warne leaving Derby essay and who the replacement candidates could be.
 

Now that 'ol bobble hat Warney (I do like him honestly) is in the throes of assembling a team "in his own image", do we expect to see WarneBall in its purest form?
I fear but hope it's not just:
run around a lot hoof the ball down the channels get to it and cross it early scrap for it in the box score goal defend the lead by running about even more

Genuinely baffles me some of the stuff I read on here and on Twitter. For what it's worth, to answer the question, I think we have obviously got a bigger budget than last season and so far I believe Warne has spent it very, very well. We are not be spending huge fees on players or making glamour signings but we are building a seriously formidable TEAM and squad at this level with the right characters, some quality and players that will fit our system.
Bradley and Nelson are incredible signings at this level. Big, strong, mobile (Nelson, not Bradley as much) a threat from set pieces and the physical, ugly men that Warne alluded to in the off season. Ward and Elder are arguably the two best full backs/wing backs in the league and add quality and a real attacking intent to our back line. I predict the pair of them will provide a hatful of assists.
Wilson I haven't seen as much of but everything I have read and seen, I believe it is somewhat of a coup and could turn out to be a very shrewd signing under the radar. Washington I feel is our most underrated signing of the window and one I can't believe our fans are baulking at signing. Stats can be so deceiving sometimes and just because he doesn't score 30 a season, he is 'underwhelming'. I have seen him play on a large number of occasions and always liked what I have seen. As Warne has alluded to, he runs in behind and stretches play (can't remember the last striker we've had that does this), presses tirelessly and will bring more goals out of the rest of the team; I feel he will really complement what we've got and end up as an unexpected fan's favourite.
Digressing slightly but it also makes me laugh how people think we should be signing May, Nombe and Smith etc. because someone on Twitter says they have had a good season, despite 90% of our fanbase probably having only seen them play once or twice. Has it ever occured to us that Warne doesn't want them? Also keep seeing Clarke-Harris linked; although I think our budget is bigger, I do not think we are going to shell out the 2-3 million pounds that it would take to land him; plus, in my opinion, he isn't all that anyway. Scores a lot of goals granted but feel he is a very limited flat track bully and we could do better for less money (I for one would like us to get Godden, if it is realistic - would be a very good signing).
A very long winded way of saying I think we do have a decent budget, are currently spending it very well and Warne is building a very, very good squad with a few more to come, whilst also not spunking money on rubbish and thinking about the club's long term future.
