Cos it's cheating.
That others do it is really no justification.

Call me a purist but it’s cheating and that’s not how I want Derby County to win games. 

I wouldn’t actually - I’d moan about us not keeping concentration and seeing the match out.

If he wanted to time waste then he surely could just have fell to the floor holding his hamstring or leg generally. The rolling around like his head had been attacked with an axe was absolutely pathetic. Was he trying to get their player sent off too? Nope, no excuse for that extreme behaviour.

What happened to the days when we wanted to win by playing better football than the other team? 

Bish, bash, bosh!

That’s grrreeat

He could start the bounce !!

Not his shot stopping but his shithousery. 
 
After Peterbrough got their second one of their players took the ball off him and he went down holding his head. He was not touched on his head. He stayed down and got treatment for a fake injury.
 
I hate faking, but faking head contact is just trying to get a player sent off. Needs stamping out the game. 

I'm only posting this to give more attention to the event for Forsyth, he deserves it for putting up with us lot for 10 years.
Please let it be known, I would not be posting anything cricket related usually. I'm better than that.
Anyway, here goes....

Jake Rooney?

Don't be so petty.
Sport, football, some games you win, some you lose. It's the long term direction of the football club that matters.
If it's cold one day in August, it doesn't mean that climate change isn't happening.
And it's not "hate".
I don't think Warne is the right manager for us. I don't like his tactics. 4-4-2 has somewhat been forced on him. Forsyth introduced him to Waggy.
Nevertheless, of course I want Warne to succeed. Because, if he does then Derby does and we can all rejoice in that.
Let's hope we hear from you the next time we play like we did against Oxford.
Now, quit your jibing and enjoy the win 🐏

Seriously though… how could anyone moan about this guy coming back? Absolute legend 🐏

A ram through and through 🐏

I received a phone call an hour before the match, telling me a much loved Uncle had passed away.
Felt like I'd been punched in the gut, and went upstairs to have a quiet moment. 
Woke up at 3.30, flipped the radio on to hear it was 1-1, tolerated Dawes for a minute or two, then flew to Belgium to watch the rest of the game.
3 Derby goals in my first 10 minutes of watching was the kind of medicine I needed. 
Thanks Waggy, and Cashin.

Have we decided to keep our manager for another week, not kept up on the thread, concentrating on the cocktails 🍹 

Days like this make supporting this rabble a pleasure 👌
I think the new signings must have had an effect on the first XI as the level of intensity was superb from minute 1. Unlucky to go behind, Rooney chose the wrong man to track & left their left wing to pick out Clarke Harris from 10 inches. Thereafter, went at them with Washington & Waggy running at them with the ball & pressing hard when not. 
Suffice ro say the first 45 minutes were a thing of absolute beauty. My head hurt from the celebrating, loved every moment 🖤
A lot of fantastic performances & obviously Waggy takes it. I said to lad next to me before the game he's on for 25 this year, he's SO suited to this team & style of play. Three great goals & worked his backside off throughout. Big mention for Liam Thompson though...good grief, what a little player he's becoming. A tiger in front of his back 4 & a bone fide threat running into the final 3rd...the prospect of him & Fornah together is very exciting.
Back in Leeds now, few beers deep & 86 quid train ticket lighter cos of the strikes but with a silly grin on my face. Love you Derby 🖤

We arrived at the ground Main Stand in 22 degrees, full sunshine and NO refreshments open. Were told they would open at 2.55, an hour later.
I played merry hell with the stewards (who, to be fair  were just following instructions). There was a young lad at the front of the stand feeling faint, but no drinking water available. 
Anyway, I demanded they sorted it out immediately, told them it was illegal and I was reporting it to the papers. 
After about 20 minutes of harassing them they finally opened up. 
A ridiculous state of affairs and the sooner football starts treating away fans as paying customers, we might start behaving like them! 
 

Top performance from Cashy today. I'm keeping everything crossed that he goes nowhere.
