    Maybe but we’d have given ourselves much more of a chance. Never been so deflated than when I saw that starting XI.

    I don't think it's the money that was spent or the players Lampard brought in which rankled with some Rams fans, more the way he kept us dangling while waiting for Chelsea to offer him their managers' jobl

    That can’t be right? I distinctly recall multiple posters explaining a few weeks ago that we’re rubbish and the season is already over…. ? COYR! ?

    In poor conditions, on a poor pitch, with a decimated defence and a game against Liverpool at Anfield 3 days later.
    I mean, it's not the end of the world, we're not out the cup or anything, we just have the inconvenience of an extra game to go through to the next round.
    Plymouth, top of League 1, 11 v 11 were battered 5-1 by Grimsby on Saturday.
    Wycombe lost 2-0 to Walsall.
    Lincoln lost 1-0 to 20th place National League South side Chippenham Town
    Need I go on?....

    You make that sound like bad news!
    At least with your forewarning, I can at least prepare for the worst, just in case!  ?
    Thanks for the heads up... unlike that nasty, thoughtless Mr @David!

    Gisby got a reaction from Derby4Me in Justin Walker left to join Rosenior at Hull   
    New broom sweeps clean and all that. Warne will know who he wants to keep & who he doesn’t both playing & non-playing staff. January will be interesting. JW, Curtis etc have been great servants to the club no denying this but it’s time to move on. Similar to Warne’s comments concerning Bielik, he\we only want people here who want to be here. If they don’t then they are no good to us.

    I don't get all this BBC is special, no it isn't. It's just another TV service. I object to being forced to pay for something I don't want. If it was so good let people pay for it on a subscription basis or introduce advertising. 
    I can understand historically why a TV license made sense. All the infrastructure had to be paid for and it was only fair that those using it paid for it. Times have changed and the BBC is a dinosaur of an organisation.

    Usually a goal like that takes the crowd by surprise.
    On the countless times I've watched that back over the years, I've always loved the way the crowd noise builds expectantly, from the split second he let's fly.  It's like everyone just knew it was on it's way in, like a slow-mo of a 3 yard tap-in!
    An all time classic.
    Rest in peace, Mr Radford.  You deserve your rightful spot in FA Cup history.

    BBC TV has been bloated beyond belief for years. Sometimes working in a studio nextdoor for ITV, you could only drool at the BBC green rooms compared with ours. To make a comparable show, they would employ 4x the number of staff. And they totally distorted the market paying massive salaries to presenters and staff, so now everyone and their dog earns more than the Prime Minister. And that's before you talk about their political bias which has understandably made enemies for them in government, so made even more funding harder to come by.
    It's such a shame for local radio, which costs so little, is having to pay the price for their largesse.

    Scrap the licence fee and fund it solely through advertising. Over paid presenters and a diversity manager £250k+, it’s turned into a money pit and they’ve completely lost touch with how the majority of people consume their entertainment. They’ve lost out on multiple sports contracts over the years they’ve even lost some England games in recent years. Their model is completely outdated and needs a revamp but their too comfortable charging people a licence fee under the threat of jail time if you don’t pay it.

    Why can’t they cut Gary linekers wages that would provide a lot of money for local radio. Shocking move by the BBC.

    Just got home...
    So, let's just re-cap on this afternoons game...
     
     
     
    WTF just happened?  ?‍♂️
    Collins:  Best performance thus far.
    DMcG:  Same, but with the added bonus of being absolutely clinical.  BOOM (x 3).
    NML:  A Beast.
    Fozzie:  Best of the rest.
    For once, all eyes were not on the defence, so I concede I couldn't name anyone else for being great or poor.
    All Rams goals at my end.
    Best 45 mins for what seems like an age... and the second half wasn't too shabby, all things considered.
    Just a game-in-hand win away from a PO spot.
    Even the ref was the best we've seen this season.  (Not perfect of course, but none of them are!)
    Pleasantly mild (Why on earth did I take my coat! ?) And surprisingly dry, considering this morning's washout.
    A stunningly beautiful woman waiting for me when I walked in.  Film night, sofa-cuddles,  and a celebratory tipple or two in store for later.
    Oh... and an extra hour in bed... not that I'll need a full hour!  ?
     
    What the heck... I'm putting today down as a good 'un!

    Gisby reacted to Heisenberg in Questions for our saviour Mr. David Clowes   
    He’s literally been in the media as much as any other manager up and down the country is required to do. No more and no less.
    Pre and post match press conferences and then interviews with in-house media and radio/television.
    I don’t get the accusations being thrown his way that he talks too much. Fans complain if a manager is a dullard with no personality or if he’s got a quirky personality who comes out with one liners here and now. He can’t win!

    Gisby reacted to SirBrian in Paul Warne appointed as Head Coach   
    Tim Ward brought Kevin Hector from Bradford, and when he was sacked Derby were 5th/6th from the bottom of the old 2nd division, they then gave the job to Brian Clough and at the end of the season they finished 5th from bottom, and their was plenty of grumbling about his appointment, myself included, things do not change overnight! but we all know what happened from the following season there  was a massive upward curve, when Brian had sorted the issues out, not saying Paul Warne will achieve anything like Brian, but for heavens sake give the man a chance and time.

    Of course I’m down, who isn’t. That post loss tristesse lasts for at least 3 days. The weight of the world is on your shoulders. We got F all. We want to win every game. The style doesn’t seem great either, it doesn’t seem right that ageing wingers are being asked to cover the whole length of the pitch. Yes some “glooms are to be expected.
    Yet .. we lost by one goal, away, to one of the leading teams. We have a new manager with limited resources. There’s a whole lot going on behind the scenes. I don’t think for a minute PW isn’t aware of our weaknesses and doesn’t have a plan to address them. 
    We need to have some faith and some loyalty. It’s way too early to judge anything. For me, it s on to the next game and quite simply .. come on lads, you can do better. UTR !

    Embarrassing. We played the best team in the league last night, heavily invested and play wonderful football. We have a new manager and a new style of football that’s going to take getting use to. Get a grip people and get behind the team

    Gisby reacted to BramcoteRam84 in Warne isn't the Messiah and Stearman is a very Naughty Boy   
    Far too early to be making assertions this is all playing philosophy related and saying don’t like the look of Warneball. He’s been here 2 weeks and today commented on how we lacked control of the midfield so today is clearly not how he wants to play.
    I thought Liam should’ve been given the job but we’ve got Warne and he needs to be given time. I labelled him a long ball merchant but after doing my research he’s someone who adapts to what he has and hopefully we’ll see that in time.
