73-0 at lunch. Shan Masood is so good ? to quote the Aussie on commentary for Middlesex, he “is going to score so many runs for Derbyshire this season”. He has 57, Godleman doing the anchor role with just 16, but the run rate is at 3.5, with 4.2 required for the win.

set up for a good afternoon of cricket.

Just bat like we did first time round and we will be fine ?as long as we don't get down to Sidebottom who looked in no shape to have a bat.

Can we send Sidebottom back, or are we lumbered with a crock?

I didn't think the Allsop incident was a foul. He turned round to chase the ball. 

It's not a gentleman's excuse me. 

Excuse me

The ref set the tone by allowing that stamp on Ravel in the first 10 minutes to go unpunished. His performance was downhill from there, culminating in not giving the penalty. Not surprised he didn't give it. He was directly in line with the play, so I expect he couldn't cope with the pressure from the home team.

I didn't see a stamp, but he gave Ravel a punch in the kidneys.

Wayne Rooney on Radio Derby:
I don’t want to get myself into trouble ... but I hope the referee gets banned. 

Needs saying, the ref. was a pisstake.

Swansea paid PSG £1m for their lad who scored two today (and has 20 for the season), same as Palace have paid for Plange.

Rooney RAGING about the ref.

Knight has to start in these games for me where you need energy to close down and force an error.

I think his buyer has told Rooney he only plays minimum minutes?

I'm not sorry to see Plange move-on though.

OMFG

If only we could actually win an away game......

A point would do me

Crafty body punch on Ravel in the opening minute was bloody cynical. ?

We keep playing out okay and then get within 35 yards of there goal, slow it down and pass back... need to up the tempo

That's been our MO all season unfortunately

Did Derbyshire score 400 from two innings in any game last season? ?

We chose to bowl on a batting pitch? Wonderful.

I must have missed us appointing Joe Root?

I can see it playing-out now. EFL accept our plan to suspend the 15 point deduction based on paying 35% of non-football debts over two years.

We stay-up this year after Reading lose all their last six games and Derby pip them on GD for 21st spot.

The season after next, Rooney's Slync.io Rams buoyed by a fresh line-up of ex-internationals and aspiring youth, go on a storming run and at the final whistle on the last game of the season are firmly sat in second spot with a 14 point cushion over Everton in third.

10 minutes after the game Kieran Magiure spots an aritmetical error in Quantuma's "Great British Financial Plan", and it transpires that only 34.99% of the debts were cleared. EFL instantly deduct us 15 points and we lose both PO semi-finals 1-0 to Peterborough.

Yep. We've just reached Weatherspoons.

I assume CK has to stump-up £5m pronto now he's been named PB?

A bit unfair to call our lads journeymen and kids - we have current full internationals , young internationals and a prem striker on loan. We simply couldn’t set ourselves up properly away from home.

Plange is a nice lad, but god help any Prem team if they were relying on him bagging 20+ a season.

Posh 1-1 Luton result (we stay 2nd bottom)

Stoke forwards are el crappo.

Stoke should have equalised. ?

Their lad had the finishing prowess of Conor Sammon.

Reading players picking-up stray injuries all of a sudden.

Reading legs will be going all wobbly now!

And 'The Gov'nors' eyes. ?

Throw them another oatcake

Reading 1-0 up

I hope Kirchner's cheque has been cashed

Imagine the time it would take to watch a series of Dickenson's Real Deal if the auctioneers took as long as Quantuma to find a buyer?

Maybe he was just pulling out the chair, and getting his platinum-coated bic out, ready to sign the paperwork at Deepdale, when his 'phone pinged, and he read the text from Q... "Chris stop theres been a development stop i think we can still do a deal stop call me stop regards andrew stop C/O a bigger club stop LOL stop"

CK then waves a cheery yet polite apologetic wave to the heartland of Lancashire-shire, and promptly catches the 14:37 to Derby.

 

So as you can see, it's quite possible... if not entirely so probable... that absolutely nothing had "gone wrong" as you put it!

...Unless you meant for PNE... LOL!  

You had me going for a minute, then I realised Northern cancelled the 14:37.
