GB SPORTS

Remains to be seen.  Spent a fair amount of money at Hull and some of the football at Derby was dire, especially away from home.  Not saying he won't be a good manager but it's too early to say.

I am getting fed up with TV commentators repeatedly apologising for bad language picked up on the mics at live football matches.
Normal tv programs are preceded with warnings saying that this program contains bad language, sexual scenes, violence, etc, etc. They don't have someone talking over the dialogue to apologise, every time an actor swears during a program.
It is a live sporting event, people should expect to hear swearing, as they expect to see violence in a John Wick film.
Surely one visual and audible warning preceding the match, should suffice?

We're under a business plan until next summer, some adjustments did happen this summer, what they were I don't know. 
David Clowes is a reluctant owner, he's wealthy but not mega, he ain't splashin cash or sacking managers. Those who think he should sack n splash need a reality check. There's many of us fans who witnessed utter rubbish in the early eighties when I'm guessing most who write so much negative comments were not even born, get a grip get behind Warne and the lads and we may just get were we want to be this season, otherwise stay at home. 
Two seasons ago everyone pulled together hoping for the miracle to happen, it don't take long for the feel good factor to go, be pleased you have a team because had David Clowes not stepped in think who you may have been watching. 

Surely it means we should be mid table or thereabouts in the championship by September 2026. Would that be ok ?
The definition of “established” is somewhat loose isn’t it ? especially as he has been in post for just 14 months out of 48 
personally I think he will be under pressure from the start of nest season and more so if he doesn’t get a play off place this year. But as far as I am concerned he gets this season free. Only then will I start to question. One thing for sure I don’t want another manager for at least 12 months. It would be appalling impatience and stupidity to want to shuffle things yet again. (IMO of course !) 🤪

True. However the only reason we are in league one is down to the points deduction (unless you have forgotten) and we are now in a rebuild phase. Patients will be required. 
On paper we are a bigger club than we are in, however all these fans who say we are the richest club in the league say so without any proof what so ever. Only the owner and his accountant will know the truth.
We have been placed in this situation due to piss poor management in the past. We now have to manage the club and our expectations 

My dad often told the story of how him and his mates celebrated winning t'Cup in '46 with Sav'ry Duck, Bubble and Squeak and Mushy Peas washed down with Camp Coffee!  One can only imagine what the sewage works had to cope with next day! 

Night game
v Chelsea at home 1974 4-1,  a lot of aggro ensued at this game as the Chelsk's were jealous of our success.
It even took a Derby lad to score their only goal (Ian Hutchinson RIP).
He was probably one Clough and Taylor missed from under their noses?

They thoroughly outclassed Crewe today. They’re not quite creating the number of clear cut chances required to win consistently but I think that will come. 
 
Up the Rams.

Please dont try and speak on behalf of the fans.
I'm sure there are many, like me, who do give more than 2 f**** about things other than just what happens on the pitch because we realise without David Clowes we would have no pitch to give 2 f**** about.
As for hating the manager, grow up.

Portsmouth out to National league side Chesterfield... and we can't even keep up with Portsmouth!  👀
#Warneout

I thought we played well. Making progress.

I’m ashamed of myself I actually got annoyed we equalised. I’ve never thought this about Derby, ever.
That man is ruining our club 😭 

Winning this now will be like making love to a beautiful woman...

 

A Bit of a guess, but we belted Bolton near the end of Div 2 68/69, i didn't start keeping a diary until 70/71 so i don't have anything to rely on.
So i say March 1969 v Bolton at Home.
On the ledge at the back of the ossie end.

Now then now then

Vapes should have been nicotine flavour only, available only to those who had been to a GP and registered as a smoker.  No huge tax revenues in that though.  The government only get interested when it goes underground and they're losing revenue as per.  The fact that they're full of lead and stink like bubble gum is incidental to the revenue being lost.

Another fecking Americanism that's crept over the pond...have a good day yall 

I still find it hard to fathom that a good number of fans are actively having a pop at our owner.  This is a man who did not want to get involved, but simply had to because he knew what the likely alternative was.  It also pisses me off that folk think he should sell up at the earliest opportunity because he didn't spunk £3m on a striker in the summer.  Only he, along with his accountants, truly know how bad it was when he started his due diligence, so he'll do whatever he can to ensure we don't get in that state again.  If we're moaning at anyone, perhaps we should be moaning at the head of recruitment for not finding the wheat amongst the chaff, in the last transfer window.
As for bringing in, and for the time being, sticking with Warne.  If you had the choice between a novice manager or someone who has 3 promotions from this division, to get you out of it, who are 99% of people going to choose??

Take a packed lunch 🤢🤮
 

Did you spend a long time on the concourse?

He's been gone too long though.

Birmingham weren't known as a decent footballing side under him. 

Isn't it obvious? Look at the squad we had back then. Quite a few hungry players with something to prove. Certainly not a side that is miss matched and free transfers pretty much. Hence why again we need a few trading windows to allow this.
Are we struggling? Or just not hitting any kind of form? I raise my point again of potentially being 2 points off play offs and 5 off second in the league. If we were towards the bottom I could understand, that we are not as we speak.
Fan expectation is the issue here. It really is and until many realise that and learn to channel it better then we will forever be having to try harder than the opposition. This all works in the favour of opposing managers, just wish many of you could see that. Steve Evans pre match chat is simple, get the first goal, there fans will start booing them and put pressure on them, what happened?
