I'm sorry but some of the posts in here have me raging. 
It's always instantly defending the accused rather than sympathising with the victim, or in this case, victims.
This isn't just a small accusation that has no evidence, this has been on the cards for years and the victims are finally ready to come out. That's okay and if you actually listened or read any of the news articles, any previous attempts to come out, the victims have been intimidated by Brand's lawyers. There's no way C4 or The Times would have been able to publish anything without evidence.
For the past few years Brand has been placing himself on the right side of the political spectrum and has been going with this "anti mainstream media" view because he knows this is his best chance of getting some defenders from the public. When the people speaking out in your favour are Elon Musk, Andrew Tate, Carlson Tucker and Katie Hopkins, I can make my own conclusions solely based off that.  
Look at this from earlier on this year:

This is after a 3 year+ investigation with medical records and text conversations etc, this isn't just a small accusation.

So why are kids of today so fat? 

Increased life expectancy is a symptom of a better life. People in the higher socioeconomic groups tend to live longer too. 

Maybe they want to bring a civil action where the burden of proof is only on balance of probabilities , rather than criminal charge where it has to be beyond reasonable doubt. 

I think the reason for clapping is that thugs like those from Pompey could never stay silent .But I agree it felt wrong to clap.  

yeah, i thought she had a poor game compared to when we had her before. She wasn't helped by atrocious linesman.

Of the clubs you mention only Sheff utd are the same size club as Derby. The rest are smaller. But actually being a big club in a small pond is a handicap for us now. 
 
it certainly seems to make the refs want to not give us anything for a start. 

Watford are an extension to some old blokes allotment for starters and Bournemouth get about 9000 through the door.  I'm not feeling the same size club to be honest.

I didn’t realise til today. 

Oh as the Popmaster guy would say ooh one year out.

BBC has confirmed Derby have appealed the red card based on video evidence.

Probably our fault again, were they in for Waggy again and we beat them to it

We had nine players unavailable for one reason or another. Wildsmith, Ward, Wilson, Rooney, Cashin, Bird , Thommo, Sibley and Embleton.
And played for a period with only 10 men. So I think we can excuse another bad day on this occasion.

Well I enjoyed the day out at Bolton (well, a few miles away from Bolton), my first visit to that stadium. Good stadium, setup, home fans were very vocal. Seemed quiet in the away end. Lots of bars and restaurants in the area.
Positives from the game were that I thought we defended really well when under the cosh for long periods, and it took a fluke goal to beat us. Defenders were solid and Vickers made what looked like from the other end a couple of very good saves. I heard some criticism on the radio about players not putting a shift in - from my angle they all gave it 100%. Forsyth and Nelson had good games. Bradley did well other than his ricket. Thought Hourihane had a decent enough game. Fornah looked terrible first half out of position but much better when he was moved back. This is, of course, all in the context of the match and how were set up, if indeed we were set up in any particular way.
I was impressed with how Evatt set Bolton up, they played good football. They lacked a killer edge and looked a little ropey at the back on the odd occasion we tested them, which doesn't quite put them in the Plymouth/Ipswich bracket from last season, but they're a good side who will be up there. 
Referee: As some of you know I ref at county league level so may (or may not) be able to offer some insight. He's got the first big decision of the game wrong - he's decided Elder is fouled but given where Derby are should have waited a couple of seconds and given the goal. He's blown far too early and luckily we scored the penalty.
I think that has clearly influenced the way he managed the Wildsmith incident as this time instead of blowing up as soon as he saw the handball he has  waited to see if the Bolton players scores into an empty net. As soon as he doesn't, he blows for the foul. Having indicated a foul, he has made up his mind and the red can come out there as it's deliberate handball stopping an obvious goalscoring opportunity (DOGSO). Given that it's such a big decision, he has a word with his assistant, and he'll be asking him whether he saw anything that would change his mind. If, as it turned out, the assistant couldn't say one way or the other, the ref sticks with his decision. It was actually good refereeing.
Their penalty. Only VAR could say whether it was in or out of the box. We don't have VAR and it looked to me and everyone around me that it was a penalty, so it's hard to criticise too much. 
Derby penalty appeals in the second half: The "handball" when the player is falling over and the ball hits his hand is not handball. The rules clearly state that if a player is putting an arm out to stabilise himself and its not deliberate, then it's not handball. The potential penalty when NML tangles with their number 5 was 50/50 - it was both players fighting for the ball but the defender did have his arm at neck height on NML so maybe. But I felt the one on Bradley was an absolute stonewall. Defender not looking at the ball as it comes across and just hauls him to the ground. It was a far more blatant foul than the one we got the peno for. So poor refereeing. 
Derby - tactically shambolic. No notable shape or patters of play. Players looked like they weren't sure who was meant to be where. I get why Warne put Bradley on ahead of Cash. I was frustrated second half as we were on the ropes and both Warne and Barker were sitting down and we had no-one standing and organising/encouraging etc. Putting JJ on at the end and not putting him through the middle up against their lumbering number 5, who was always the last man in a 3 and had already been booked, was criminal.
There is a clear pattern emerging this season against teams that play football and I'm afraid there was nothing in that game, against one of the promotion front runners, that convinced me Warne is up to the task. Equally, he is being hamstrung by injuries and yesterday we didn't get the rub of the green, although we certainly could have helped ourselves with some organisation, composure and some time spent in possession of the football. Warne isn't going to suddenly change his mantra, we can only hope though it is more effective when we have a fully fit squad, if that ever happens.   
Sorry, that was a much longer post that I'd anticipated!

The sending off? Are we sure about that ? If nothing else losing your goalie isn't something you would expect every game.

With the squad today, give him a massive chant please 

Percy is a Forest fan. If Brighton had wanted him badly enough they could have signed him , but didn't. 

....that said, IF we're in the top 2 by then ...then why would he leave only to be farmed out to a championship side...
