Anyone read the first post on LTFT's Derby matchday thread? Poster sounds like the kid who would collect Pokemon cards and think his collection is better than anyone elses'.
He's also a little deluded on his history, but hilariously he's stated that "Derby hold the world record for the lowest ever Premiership points tally". The current tally for Premiership points put Derby County at 274 points and forest's at 239 points. 
 
 

100%

So a fair summary of the last 24hrs:
EFL now backpedaling desperately looking for a way out that saved face.
Boro backpedaling now public opinion has clearly gone against them and saying they wanted to settle.
Wycombe gently fading back in to insignificance. 
Quantuma quietly sitting tight lipped knowing they were right.
Me having a new found respect for my MP!

Oh come on. I’m obviously anti-EFL but this is ridiculous.
It was clearly tweeted out by an unthinking social media admin who swiftly got told by his/her superiors that it was inappropriate given the circumstances.
Either that or it’s incredible poohousery that is almost worthy of applause.

I've messaged her because part of DCFC's assets (the training group) sit in Erewash.

My Great Grandparents used to own the chippy on the corner of Beaufort Street and Nottingham Road until the '80s, they used to sell wrapped chips people would tuck down the front of their jackets and smuggle into the ground. Warmth and nice food when you get there!

That’s St. Johns ambulance sorted then. 

Granted, I'm not a scientist! My view is based only on what I hear from the other half and other nurses I know at a couple of different local trusts, who have dealt first hand with both viruses during end of life care. Flu and Covid deaths are both awful, but thankfully with very low mortality rates. Totally respect other views -- just wanted to share mine.
Omicron is more contagious, but so far doesn't seem particularly deadly does it? Case numbers aren't important (charge a fiver a test and the figures will plummet) and death figures aren't reliable, so I'll be watching the admissions (the only metric that matters). It's - so far - much quieter than last year at the Derby Royal and QMC. Let's see what happens, and hope that it doesn't result in busy ICUs.

My two pence on the whole pandemic has been (for the past year now) that our reaction to Covid is worse than Covid itself.
I lost two relatives prematurely to cancer last year because their cancer treatment was stopped for too long. They were 58 and 73, both mothers. We don't know the true number of people 'killed by Covid' because the metric is so vague, and we'll certainly never even have a guess at how many died from missed treatments and operations. Deaths are certainly above average, but that's because it's new. The flu kills tens of thousands and sadly the suffering is much the same. My 95-year-old Grandmother had Covid last year and survived it with no symptoms, passing away earlier this year due to frailty of old age. She was a very sociable woman but the last year of her life was spent distanced from family, even after a year of living with and learning from this seasonal virus. I will never forget being crouched down by her death bed, wearing gloves, a mask, an apron and having to have the door wide open and her asking why it had to be like this. The loneliness and distress from not seeing her own family is what killed her. 
As it happens today is my first day post-isolation, as I caught Covid at a works' Christmas party a few weeks ago. My symptoms were very mild but because I was positive, I had to become economically inactive for 10 days and stay at home, as did most of the team. As a result of this we now have a backlog of around 1000 patients whose tissue samples are awaiting analysis -- some of those eventual diagnoses will determine cancer and these will be late diagnoses. My fiancee is a District Nurse and although she had no symptoms, she too had to stay at home and an already stretched NHS Trust suffered even more.
There's no denying the virus is real, just like other seasonal viruses, but we will never, ever, ever defeat it because it will continue to mutate, just like all the other seasonal viruses! We cannot continue to endure a never-ending cycle of shutting down and restarting sections of society.

I'd be surprised if this happens before the new year for England tbh. I'd also say it's premature given we don't yet know the data on likely hospitalisations only infection rates. 

Hell no
We cant keep freaking shutting down every single second
 

Wow... bit of a disparity there!
I don't like Sky either. Cricket (whether you like it or not) is a national sport which was handed to them and denied access for millions. They even dub crowd noise onto their coverage (why?)

Someone with a little more knowledge explain this to me -
Boro sue us as the missed out on the play offs due to us falling fouls of ffp. Following that logic is it feasible we could sure both QPR and Villa? 

Couldn't agree more.  The strategy last night was the right one IMO because a point solves nothing.  Far better to gamble, go for it and try for the 3 points.  Sometimes, as last night, it won't pay off, but sometimes it will.
Just keep doing that and sooner or later we will string some wins together.  12 wins from 24 games would put us in with a shout, and then it would all be down to the last 2 games, do or die, death or glory, play a 2-3-5 formation like in 1921 etc LOL, and possibly goal difference, goals scored etc.  The last day, in that scenario, will be just as nail bitingly delicious as it was in May.
One thing's for sure, it's going to be a feast of genuine, attack minded footie with NO FEAR for the next 6 months.  The worst has already happened, we are all but down in the minds of most people, and that can work to our advantage, as we saw against Bournemouth.
I for one am looking forward to 26 fearless games played by a squad that's absolutely together and scrapping for each other and the manager and the club.  And in some ways, that's actually more exciting than watching a side that's safely mid table, cruising, and often playing out a game boringly to snatch a point.
And if they DO pull it off, against all the odds, there's a movie in that for sure, in which case where can I buy the film rights? LOL.
