Probably by carrier pigeon 

If Rooney were to walk out tmoro you name me a manager of any promise or experiance that would apply for a job with a capacity of 23 players,including academy,no money,£4.5k max wages and possible points deduction. Ill wait. When has Rooney been allowed to spend money? Most hes done is 5 loans at the end of January. Not a penny spent. Id like to see him have spending power like Lampard and Cocu before judging him. Lampard wasted millions and Cocu left us 6 points adirft at the bottom with a side heading to League 1 100%!!

Its like this, but the kid is Steve Gibson

 

No he can’t macom up

A hearty chorus of "You're not singing anymore" results in a lifetime ban from the Royal Opera House.
How was I to know it was the end of the act?

No he can’t macom up

No he can’t macom up

But were 4 games in, a 3 point penalty would still see us above the bottom 3, with 42 games to play, if we were to go down from that situation you can't blame a points penalty, they would have had more than enough games to do something about it, it would come down to us not being good enough 

I thunk I have.  I am rarely good at this. I laked your post a lit.

What planet are you on? How can we be ‘looking to get promoted’ in current circumstances?
Rooney can only deal with current circumstances and, in the context of those, assembling a squad that is competitive to keep us up is the only priority.
its early days, and the squad remains painfully thin, but he’s used the resources available to him very well so far. 

I haven't seen any of those posts I'm afraid and i am very sorry to hear of your situation Tyler
Many of us have experience, including myself, of your difficulty.
I am trying not to come across as condescending or all knowing (because I am not) - it is really great that you are talking openly about it. And because of that I know (even if you don't yet ) that you will come out the other side.
One of the keys to it, I believe, is having genuine human interaction. Social media can be great, but its not like the real thing ! 
If you wanted to meet up and have a chat about all things Derby County I would be delighted to do that. If and when you felt comfortable. 

Even you must realise what a difference a forest game instead of a Blackpool game is. Even if I didn’t have a season ticket which I have renewed and will go home and away if I didn’t and I didn’t have much money I would save long and hard to go the forest game it’s our local rivals 

have you been around the last 18 months. Bet your the one at work everyone thinks is up his own arse. I’ve gone to all the games this season but hope you realise some of those fans who have not attended have wanted to buy maybe don’t have the money too and maybe aren’t actually moaners. 

want a spade to dig yourself out of that hole man. Suggesting the ones who can’t attend are all the moaners and groaners when people behind me were moaning today. Maybe the 10 thousand less support is the fact we’ve been through a pandemic in which 1000s of people have lost jobs and not much income. People are still a bit weary of COVID and also the way in which the club has been and is being the run at the moment by a guy who isn’t interested. Maybe when he sells the club and we get a fresh start of being run properly and the economy starts to turn again and we see more households gaining income and people start to see the vaccine working to its full potential and become less scared the attendances will start to rise back to where it was. Some loyal fans will be in the job attendees so give them some slack 

After that, I only have one issue - why would you travel all that way to come and watch that? And yet it looked like Middlesboruogh had sold out their allocation. Just why?  Unless it is to get out of Middlesborough for a day.
I didn't realise that Colin has two faces, but he let them both show today when he was bellowing for Jagielka to be given a red card. After all the tricks he has got up to in his career, and all the tricks he has taught his players to put into practice, how could he? Unless having seen the ref give a free-kick when one of his own players tripped a team-mate up and got the free-kick he thought he could get anything he wanted out of the match officials. 
I had quite a a numerously endowed amount of pre-match "refreshments, and went into the ground not worried about the result. Actually that's how I woke up, and like most fans, all i wanted was for the players to turn up and have a go. Whether or not the EFL, in all their machinations, have fostered an 2us against the world" mentality or not, the whole squad seem united together and simply won't lie down. As Wayne and many on here have said, we would have lost that match only a short time ago. Apart from Roos saving our bacon a few times, and them hitting the bar, apart from the last 20 minutes they weren't any bother at all. There was only one team playing football.
One thing I am glad about is that we haven't resorted to trying not to lose, and to faffing about at the back all match. Wherever we could we were on the front foot, and there was even less passing defender to defender than against Hull. Well done Wayne for finding the key to unlocking the team's ability. A major plus is seeing Bird playing where he should be playing, and playing how he should be playing. And above all, we have shown that we can compete against thug football, which we had no idea of how to cope with only a few months ago!
OH. And more baffling thing: why wouldn't Middlesborough allow the ref to have his squad number on the back of his shirt like all the other Boro players?

It was a super tackle. The fact that the ball went 50 yards down the pitch told you everything.
However, let us put petty rivalries aside and pray for their  number 7 who was so badly injured today, numerous times, that it will probably be the end of his career. The fact he kept jumping back up and smiling at the crowd must only have added to the intense pain he must have been feeling. 
Warnock’s teams never change do they. At least we had a strong ref who wasn’t fooled by it….oh…

Someone posted on Facebook that the 70% of the world is covered by water. Davies and Jags covered the remaining 30% !

Good job Sam Rush isn't at the club anymore, isn't it?

What away kit? 

Some people! Has the constant release of updates from the club in the past weeks not been enough for you!
 
There has been loads of information released to keep the fan base updated. They told us the away kit was out, there was the email about the away kit being available, our second kit, that we wear away was released, and all the other updates…I mean, look, I’m not going to name all of the updates but I think we can all agree that there have been a lot of them, such as the email about the away kit being released for example.
 
I’m tired of the constant stream of information if I am totally honest. I want to concentrate on the quality brand of football that Rooney is inspiring in us if I am totally honest. 

No. EFL said so.

I'll put it this way, I'm not expecting to be doing any follow up matchday threads.

Needs a touch up still

Just watching the highlights on Sky Sports Football from 19:00. 
I remember now, didn't we have the first chance where Sibs went forward and could have put Joz in (not re-shown)? But 21 mins in Sibs knocks it back to Joz who puts Stretton clean through, but he couldn't quite control it. 
Edit: 33 minutes fouled on the edge of the box but the ref plays on, Hutch shoots just over.
Not got there yet, but of course he puts the pass in to Sibs for our 1st goal.
So some fans need to take their blinkers off.
