Bristol City

How’s the young man getting on? Will update you on Knight when I’m not out, best of luck for the season!

Very easy for me to say at the moment, I know we're only 4 (6 inc cup) games in, but Chris Martin is some player.

He's directly contributed to 5 goals already, 3 assists and 2 goals, a MOTM contender in every game he's played so far.

I can't believe you wouldn't give him a 2 year deal, not that I know if that was the deciding factor or not.

I can't say I know much about the way you play but he has been great for us so far.

Paterson, Wiemann & Martin combing to beat Forest.

Side note, Wiemann has been playing CM for us, who would've thought?

Good luck for the rest of the season.

Derby have been caught between a rock and a hard place.

Had Keogh got into his own car drunk, crashed and bust his knee I suspect that most football fans would applaud their decision to sack him for gross misconduct as they feel that rsh footballers think they can get away with anything.

Derby's problem is that the actions of Mount and Lawrence in the same incident makes it appear that their stance and action over Keogh is  motivated more by hard financial prudence that moral indignation.

Following on from Pride Park Gate it does not paint the club in the best moral light.

Derby’s statement makes little sense as it is clear that the two drivers endangered others life’s whilst driving under the influence of alcohol.

And they have been found guilty of that offence in a court of law.

Surely they too should be sacked.

Legally they are on dodgy ground here.

”As we have said from the outset, the Club will not tolerate any of its players or staff behaving in a manner which puts themselves, their colleagues, and members of the general public at risk of injury or worse, or which brings the club into disrepute."

Looks clear to me that the other two should be sacked.

Surely they are on dodgy legal ground if they sack the one who was actually left in the car- sacked because he didn't take a paycut?

Very inconsistent approach to this whole ordeal.  Keogh, the scapegoat.  Hope he challenges their decision.

Especially when they themselves say this,

"As we have said from the outset, the Club will not tolerate any of its players or staff behaving in a manner which puts themselves, their colleagues, and members of the general public at risk of injury or worse, or which brings the club into disrepute."

We don't know the full facts but I guess the starting pointing for him would be a case for discrimination.

Ok is it’s easy for us all to be moral about this....but as several of you have said above, the other two were the ones that broke the law.  In some respects you could argue the club should be supporting Keogh.  Just imagine he was sober and it had happened.

Derby not coming out of this situation very well at all.  They’ve handled it very poorly imho.
