doesnt sibley have to have a starting place to be replaced ? 🤔

I think he's a Sibley type player, maybe everything we'd hoped Sibley would turn out to be. In behind the strikers, driving through midfield, shots from range that kind of thing. It's good to read oppo fans having something good to say about a player for a change. Only problem he isn't fit and would imagine he'll go back to Sunderland in January if we do manage to get him fit and firing.

Good signing, ready made Sibley replacement even down to the 'not being able to tackle and a walking red card' should liven things up no end through the middle

Im sure we played against him a few seasons ago and some wide player of ours gave him a torrid time, cant remember for the life of me who it was though, or even if it was even him!

Brilliant comeback, loved that 😄

Why would they sack him?

I wouldnt sack him but i suppose it could be argued he got them relegated and has failed twice to get them promoted again. Would Derby give Warne that much time?

I actually think Wednesday are a good club, feel for the genuine fans & i'd much rather see the back of them than Posh. Makes next season that bit harder i reckon. Also feel for Darren Moore, can you sack a manager who's team got 96 points? and who would they replace him with??

So the season's about 10 months long and there's A THOUSAND EFL games being shown live? I'm as thick as a castle wall but i make that out at 100 games a month live, or 25 games a week, that's over 3 games every day 🤨

Sorry but that's overkill, complete football saturation. How many of our games are going to be 3pm Saturday? not all of us can finish work midweek, get to Derby, get parked up and walk to the ground. Public transport is non existent after a Night match

What about Rams TV, is this the end? will they be able to show games that are live on SKY? What's this going to do for away followings? one of the good things this season has been the quality of away support from so called smaller clubs, they arent going to bother if we're on Sky every few matches. All these numbers are based on if we don't go up, if we do then it's even worse.

Am i being hysterical or is this crap for football in general?

A “Hatfull” against Burton Albion sounds good . After all they have nothing to play for. They have a 10th choice Florists striker up front and they will be “scrapping the barrel “ to fill the away end.

When have we ever scored a hatful against Burton 🤔 over the last five games they've been better than us, their form over the last ten games has been better than ours and their form over the last fifteen games has been better than ours, in fact in the last TWENTY games of a season where we've been going for promotion and they've been battling relegation we've only managed a single point more than them!

Not saying we wont win, but then it's Pompey who are no slouches either. Still think we'll need something from the last game!

Good to see us time wasting 

Not really, especially if they equalise 6 minutes into injury time

Our three jewels were all better playera during Phillip Cocu’s first season in charge.

They haven’t kicked on at all.

Put it down to managerial changes, the club situation, relegation…

But those three were tipped to become £10million+ PL regulars.

Now they don’t even stand out in League One.

I hope for their sake they move on and fulfill their potential elsewhere because I just can’t see it happening at Derby.

Put the three together and you'd have one decent footballer. They haven't kicked on because I don't think they are that good. All should have decent careers but not in the top leagues. 

I'd love to be proved wrong mind.

I am hoping for 1 ticket for Bristol Rovers and 2 for Exeter. I’m an away member, but with less than 5 matches, so I am in the last membership window (which opens next Wednesday at 10am).

Not that confident there will be any Bristol ones left by then, so have registered on their website in case. However, when I went on to see how it worked, it wouldn’t let me buy a ticket because I’m a ‘newly registered client’ which I guess is their way of preventing away fans doing what I am trying to do 😂

Anyone got any tips about getting around this? This is my first ever post BTW 👍

Sometimes there are youth game tickets, women's football or hospitality evenings that don't cost much. I got ticket for Norwich after the same issue you face, I purchased a ticket for a charity evening for £5 and then because I had purchasing history I could buy ticket to the Rams game. Not sure if there's anything like that on the Gas site as not looked

Its what the Yorkshire miners called other miners who worked while they were on strike in the 80's.........Notts miners were the first to fold so why Derby get labelled i dont know, maybe someone knows more than me

Needs it's own thread far away from anything to do with football

Got three just by quick finger banging but they are all over the place, two in different parts of N6 and one in N2. Keep going is all i can say, they are coming up again

failed so far, plenty of singles popping up but nigh on impossible to click three seats before at least one gets gragged away before my eyes

Seeing on social media that there are a few of you buying tickets to come and show your support for my local side, Scunthorpe United-who are getting ran into the ground by an incompetent owner- on Saturday. We are drinking in the last chance saloon with a winding up order and no money left in the pot to pay any wages.

Thank you chaps, it’s much appreciated by our supporters. 
 

Up the Rams.

Up the Iron

 

Its a sad state of affairs mate, been following it closely on 'The price of football' podcast. Good luck with it all and hope your club comes out the other end all the stronger for it

Doesn't really matter what we or Beilik want, now the World Cup is over finances will mostly dictate. 

If he comes back we have a useful player, but he will take a huge chunk out of anything we can do transfer-wise. Will Warne want to be hampered in such a way?

Probably the best scenario all round is selling him for as much as we can get (which won't be much more than 2 million I'd imagine), after that it's covering his wages with a loan.

If he returns, we have a very useful player, with the large downside of him being a high risk of getting injured again, fitting in with the squad, costs us a fortune and hinders our transfer plans moving forwards.

Starting for Brum tonight. We need to hoping for good performances and then sell him on sharpish before he breaks down again. The thought of him running around in freezing cold temps tonight on whats probably a hard pitch fills me with dread.

Is there any wonder the FA Cup is losing it's appeal ffs

Used to look forward to first & last league games, boxing day fixture and 3rd round FA Cup tie, usually freezing cold and usually lose!

Sunday lunchtime is the worst possible time to watch a game, i won't be braving Sunday morning public transport for this one, Ill leave it to the Uber fans. 

I wonder how many others won't bother also, would the foreign TV rights make more money for the club than 3000-4000 less in the crowd?  

Just got three, looks like only about 500 left in total

Lived around Dorset for a decade or so and met some great Saints fans, a couple of them now friends for life. Drank in Southampton a good few times and always found it friendly, a good place for a night out. The few lads from Pompey I worked with were mostly unhinged, ex-forces or stuck in the past like our friends down the road

They must be so certain that anyone who support MK dons must live in Milton Keynes. Seems reasonable though  ?

There's ways around it ?

Was hoping to have a few quiet beers in the Red Lion first off, can't see that now ha! 

Oh aye and it's not exactly a 15 minute walk to the stadium as they mentioned either

Did it work?

The tickets are print at home so no reason in theory you can't just put in a local post code as long as your card details don't rely on your proper home address (I think they do?)

If you go on the Stadium MK website and go to tickets and click on sections and scroll right down, they are showing tickets for the block 30 upper section for away fans, but you need to set up an account to find out any more information, it might be worth a try.

Registered and purchased 3 tickets, got as far as accepting card details then threw me out cos PostCode wasn't local, only option to phone the club. 

Ah well

I've just seen that, seems weird but I'm going for it.
