Gaspode

Obviously a bit short of players so now they’ve signed Serge Aurier…..

Budgie - what a band, criminally under-rated.

Happy days... when the assembly rooms was a proper gig venue... I saw the Clash, WASP, Warlock, Anti nowhwere league plus loads more there. Such a shame that Derby doesn't have a reasonably sized venue any more.

I need to write down these locations

Scorpions at rock n blues was first gig i ever went to. Michael schenker was supporting and he was horrendous. Black stone cherry are brilliant but since they did the blues and cover album theyve gone downhill abit. Clutch are an incredible band. Really weird but brill ?

Cheers for that - I'll look them up.
I don't really follow new bands (though I am partial to Black Stone Cherry and Clutch - neither new, but still producing good new music).
It's a combination of my taste widening (to include folky stuff (love Seth Lakeman, Laura Marling & Suzanne Vega), a bit of old jazz (Miles Davis, Monk), 'new' prog (Porcupine Tree/Steven Wilson & Pineapple Thief), electronic stuff (Gary Numan has being doing some good stuff in the last few years) and also bands that I was aware of years ago but didn't really listen to as much as I do now (e.g. Pixies, Radiohead, Depeche Mode) - but I think the main issue is not really having the visibility of what's out there in the 'rock' world other than what I pick up off Planet Rock - in the late 70s/early 80s there was Sounds newspaper which highlighted the new bands to watch out for and also the Friday Rock Show on Radio 1 with Tommy Vance who was very keen to give bands a chance of airplay. Every week brought a new band to find out more about...
Nowadays there may be the same number of bands coming through, but what was generally called 'rock' has now split into a huge number of sub-genres and I just can't get into the trash/death stuff at all - I think I've mellowed...
PS forgot the Scorpions on my original list - they were great at the Assembly Rooms in 83
 

It’s been crap in the East stand for quite a while - occasionally way too loud to have a conversation but mainly just garbled - sometimes it’s even hard to make out what song is being played….So I guess it’s not just you - unless we’re both sad old duffers with knackered hearing

People who can't let others express their identity in the way that they choose. Including, but not limited to, the wearing of football shirts.

So tried and tested at this level (Collins) ain't good enough for you, home grown talent (Stretton) ain't either and now a young lad from elsewhere doesn't cut it before he's kicked a ball...
You sir are a wum of the highest order and we all seem to enjoy nibbling the bait!

you really do need a reality check magicman is there anything about the club you have a good word for your opinions are so far wide of real.

and appears (over the last 3-4 seasons) to have lost any desire to play football anymore - no thanks.....

Berahino - the bloke who was so good that Stoke released him with 3 years left on his contract? His former Stoke teammate, Glen Johnson, is reported to have heavily criticised Berahino's attitude at Stoke, singling out his attitude in training, regular lateness and lack of effort. He ended the interview on Talksport by saying "If I was the manager or owner of a football club, I wouldn't take him if you paid me." Was also released by Wednesday after a year...
Bloke's trouble and far from the type of team player that Rosey has brought in so far - be amazed if we went down that route...

You don't rate Ebiowei? That's genuinely one of the worst football opinions I've ever seen.

And another from Haaland

And another from Haaland

I can think of an alternative (but don't want to get a red card....)

He said 2 names were close 5 weeks ago. He then said last week that he is confident that by the end of the window we will be where he wants us to be.
Now he has said 2 names are close, he is trying everything he can to get us where we need to be but there are no guarantees.
If its true we have enquired about Gregory and then Jutkiwicz, I'd say we are doing our age old tactic of ringing every tom dick and Harry in desperation to see who they have available. 
 
 

How about we stay where we are, and you jog on?

I wish people would lay off Collins and he works his bloody socks off, trust me the goals will come. 

Mate, you're not allowed to use that term anymore - you have to say 'a member of the LBGTQ+ community'.....

Poppycock! Inconsequential rhetoric from the proletariat!
