GB SPORTS reacted to Miggins in Dave Myers RIP
I was shocked today to hear that the lovely Dave Myers, one half of the Hairy Bikers, has died. Mr. Miggins and myself love this duo and have all of their DVDs. I hoped so much that he was on the road to recovery as he's recently recorded a series with Si King and was able to ride his beloved motor bike again after thinking his biking was a thing of the past. We went to see the pair at Buxton Opera House and it was a wonderful evening - you just felt like it was an evening amongst friends - so relaxed and very funny. Whenever I feel run down, tired, sad or poorly I wrap myself up in a fleecy blanket and watch the Hairy Bikers and it always helps to restore my spirits. Thanks for all the inspiration, love, friendship, warmth and laughs, Dave. You will be very sadly missed. Much love to Dave's wife, family and friends, especially the wonderful Si King. X

GB SPORTS reacted to duncanjwitham in Quantuma
I suspect it was mostly delusion - "we'll be making so much money soon that nobody will notice a few missing millions, or I can just pay it back with all the money I'll be making too". And it caught up with him before they ever made those millions (if they ever were going to...).
In terms of Quantuma cutting him off earlier, can you *imagine* the firestorm that would have kicked off in the fanbase, and at the EFL, if Kirchner had gone on TV or Radio Derby and announced that he had the money to save Derby, but Quantuma won't speak to him? Goldman-Sachs backed, current sponsor of a big golf tournament and an NHL team, passed the EFLs tests, Rooney and co on board etc, the lynching parties would have been starting in minutes.

Stuff like this is why people don’t like Maguire. Skim reading that tweet makes it sound like Quantuma have been charged with wire fraud, when in fact it’s a “company makes profit” non-story. I’m sure it’s deliberately worded that way as click-bait.

GB SPORTS reacted to sage in Barnsley FC v Derby - Match Day Thread
Good Lord. How is people moaning on here about the style of play affect the team
I get behind them at games, it doesn't mean I should submit North Korean like.

GB SPORTS reacted to Eddie in Shamima Begum loses appeal against removal of British citizenship
This is one of those areas where we do agree, @Archied. I hate the idea of people being gagged as much as I hate the idea of book-burning , people being chastised/persecuted/shot for their beliefs, people's beliefs being thrust upon others etc.
It's difficult knowing where to draw the line on what constitutes 'hate-speech' and at what point it becomes incitement.
Saying that, I think that David Icke is, by and large, a harmless crackpot.

GB SPORTS reacted to Bob The Badger in Ed Dawes
I'd say exactly the opposite; they couldn't work together. The sums of their parts rarely equalled the whole. It was rumoured or maybe true, that Gabbiadini and Kitson hated each other. None of them were ever consistent enough
I thought the side under Arthur that went up was amazing. The speed that they could counter with Gee, Davison NC and GM was breathtaking.

GB SPORTS reacted to Henrycav81 in Ed Dawes
I used to play football for the blue Peter in the late 80’s early 90’s when Craig was playing for the rams, he was always at the bar reciting poetry and quoting Shakespeare

GB SPORTS reacted to Chester40 in Dani Alves, sentenced to 4 years 6 months in jail
This as a thread for discussion is possibly a recipe for disaster.
Either you shake your head and say he should have got longer... or some may start to speculate about the circumstances etc.
At best he's a completely deplorable drunken menace at worst an extremely dangerous sexual predator.
Plenty of lives ruined, and imo the fact he tried 'to pay her off' shouldn't go in his favour.

GB SPORTS reacted to G STAR RAM in Stephen Pearce on Radio Derby 6pm Tuesday
I think having different views is quite a leap from calling something crooked, when it isn't.
Unless your brother in law was privvy to the valuations assigned to players and had his own reliable method for proving they were over inflated I really struggle to see how he could come to the conclusion it was crooked and I'd say his opinion was anything other than professional and is more akin to the Kieran Maguire type comments made with no justification.
I'm afraid I just can't agree with you on the last point. We were left bankrupt because our owner refused to continue to financially support us.
With regards to what I said earlier regarding the timescale of us getting in the mess,.with a wage bill of over £40m it would literally only have taken 9 or 10 months to rack up a PAYE debt of £25m. Hence how we went from being in a good position pre Covid to tens of millions in debt when we entered administration in September 2021 (from memory).

GB SPORTS reacted to Steve Buckley’s Dog in Stephen Pearce on Radio Derby 6pm Tuesday
Except Middlesbrough obviously! All their losses, moving funds about and writing off debts is absolutely sustainable because Steve Gibson says so. The rest, yes, but not them. The only thing that has prevented them reaching the riches of the promised land is nasty Derby County buying Martin Waghorn! If it wasn’t for that…doesn’t bear thinking about does it. They could be champions of Europe, just like Leeds.

For the past twenty years, I've received a Valentine's card from the same secret admirer. So, I was pretty upset when I didn't get one this year.
First my granny dies, now this?
