It is so sad that you can watch the video of this so easily on line. This is someone dying and it's shared and reposted in a click. What a sad indictment of the human species this (the video sharing) is.
I agree with @RadioactiveWaste - not watched it and have no intention to, out of respect for all involved.

Away at Hartlepool in 1984, first time in my lifetime we'd been in the first round of the cup. I got a train down from Newcastle, where I was living at the time. It was proper tasty, just a wire fence between us and the home fans. Every few minutes a group would jump over the small perimeter wall, run the sideline and jump into our fans for a bit of action. We lost 2-1, seem to remember John Robertson being utterly useless but not much besides
We got ran back to the station with a police escort of about two officers who frankly didn't want to get involved. Back in the station all the Derby fans are on one platform and all the locals are on the other, baiting each other. I'm with the locals as I am going north, back to Newcastle, on my own and keeping very quiet. Till someone recognizes me and starts shouting at me across the platform "hey up", "what you doing over there" and all that. I just turned to the lad next to me and said "do you know that lad?". Got out alive, but only just.
Seem to remember we drew them again in either the FA or league cup the next season, I gave that one a swerve.

That’s some good statting. 

It should be called 'Eddie Lewis Day'. That's the signing that summed up that season, summed up Billy Davies and the point where we knew we were screwed.

As a friend said to me over the weekend "Norwich are going to take your record this year" I wanted to suggest the initiation of St Claude's Day, the date on which no club can undertake (or equal) our points tally of eleven points. Named in honour of a player more symbolic of our lack of preparedness, ability, and commitment than any other (a statement of recognition in itself) in that 07/08 season the race is now on to predict on what day it will fall this season.
In previous years St Claude's Day has fallen on the following weekends, last season's Covid affected schedule aside it has only three times made it past New Years Day.
2020/21: 4th March (Sheffield United)
2019/20: 22nd December (Watford)
2018/19: 27th February (Huddersfield)
2017/18: 13th December (Swansea)
2016/17: 19th December (Sunderland)
2015/16: 18th January (Aston Villa)
2014/15: 29th December (Leicester)
2013/14: 26th December (Sunderland)
2012/13: 2nd January (QPR)
2011/12: 31st December (Blackburn)
2010/11: 27th November (Wolves and West Ham)
2009/10: 19th December (Portsmouth)
2008/9: 8th November (Spurs)
So, on what day will St Claude's Day fall on this year? I predict it will be the fourth time it has made it past New Years Day but I still think last week in February our record will be safe for one more season.
 

This weekend marks the earliest date that St Clods Day has ever fallen on. Even if the Blunts get maximum points from their next four games they can't get there till 2nd Dec. Still got four months to beat their own record of the latest date it has ever fallen in 2021.

You had to go say George Thorne didn't you?

... type. GT type. Or a Sethalike. In the end injury did for them both. Shame we'll never know how good GT would have turned out to be. He was already very good and, given an injury free run.... we can but dream.

Hoped him to be the Dave Mackay / Robbie Van Der Laan / John Gregory (icon not position) of our resurgence, well I was wrong on that one. Been bang average for the most part, with occassional moments of skill (the third goal last night) but all too far and between to make me think of shedding any tears if this were true.

No David Lowe here?

You can get help for that

This. We have no clue what is going on behind the scenes and this ridiculous view that unless the owner pumps in another £200m he's not worthy is ridiculous. So I won't even start to question how the club is run financially. What I will say, and I am sure that Clowes shares this view, is that we should not be a League One club and, more than that, we should not be a middling League One club. For two reasons, one being that we have such an impressive infrastructure, fanbase and set up that makes it very challenging to see how we can't use that to our advantage in this league in the same way that the likes of Man City and Liverpool do in the top flight.
But, maybe more importantly, because we have such an impressive infrastructure we can't survive in this league for ever and a day. It's like expecting to ask your postie to do their rounds in a Range Rover - the maths of it just don't add up. If we don't get outta this place in the next few years we will be back exactly where we were 15 months ago.

So it seems that when you pick an MMA fighter who is A) not washed up, B) not a pure grappler and C) has striking skills, they can more than trouble some of the boxers. In this case an unbeaten HW champion.
Sadly, what can also be seen is how this one fight was a microcosm of everything that ffin stinks about pro boxing. One of the worst decisions I've seen in forever. I'll just pick and choose fights in future, as the game has more or less gone. I note the fight with Usyk is already postponed too. Frank Warren can go eat a bowl of chubbies.

Me be here.
If the club don't want to change then they will get the reduced gates that will result. Football is a form of entertainment and we pay to go to the games. If it's not appealing to do that people will stop going - sorry, but this 'follow your club through hell and high water' I don't really buy into. Happy to clap on a bad performance, happy to give applause if the team have given their best but come up short. But here and now, today, we are less than is acceptable for a club of our stature - that's not being aloof or snobby but in League One that is a fact.
I'd love for Derby to be delivering but at the moment they simply aren't - the team are spineless and the management team appears completely out of their depth. And, sorry, but I'm not paying (inc. trains, beers and pies) to watch a spineless team flounder around under instruction from leaders who clearly are lost.

Seoncd half of the first half at Posh we did - that's 20 mins in a whole season and I don't think anyone knows why or how even that happened.
