Sorry, can't agree, you'll be saying he's worse than Mick Coop next 😂

I'm not positive about this but just before the corner was taken that led to the incident I saw a Derby player go to ground at the far post (Bradley I think but I could be wrong) I then saw a Northampton player go to ground at the near post and half expected the ref to stop the corner and have a word with all concerned as usual - he didn't and what then happened happened - next thing was the scuffle and the red card - I didn't see who did what but Bradley was walking off before the ref showed him the card so he must've thought he'd done something worthy of a sending off to start walking and maybe if he had been thrown/knocked to the ground, maybe the red mist just descended - no excuses for him though if he did do it, a seasoned professional like him should know better. I hope some video evidence comes to light to show us what actually happened, I'd be really interested to see it.

I know he's no McFarland but he's a class above Claude Davis in my opinion - you must've never seen him play, have a bad memory or just don't like him to suggest he's worse than Davis.

Pre match was just our normal routine of beers and food at The Smithfield but after, we celebrated with 5 glasses of champagne at Seven 🍾🥂 🙂

I'm all for open and sensible discussion but blimey, Dryhorce is prattling on a bit isn't he and especially as he seems to know as little about Derby County and what we need as Tommy Docherty did (a Scottish link I'm sure he's not old or wise enough to know about). Anyway, my suggestion to stop his prattling is to lock this thread until we know what division we're going to be in next season as the players we'll be in the market for and who will want to come to us will depend on what division we're in - wotcha think mods?

It'll be interesting to see if they try to keep everyone seated in the South Stand tomorrow and what they'll do if some don't/won't.

I got two tickets for Bristol off the waiting list today - thanks if it was anyone on here that returned them, I hope it wasn't because of anything too serious 🤞

I want two tickets as neither me or my mate who are both in the +5 category got tickets but as we're trying to get to the +10 category we wouldn't buy them off anyone unless they were in our name and therefore counted towards our 10 - In my opinion you have plenty of time to post the spare ticket back to the club and get a refund and then it'll go to someone on the waiting list which, again in my opinion, is the only right thing to do with their being 5 days before the match as it may be the one ticket they need to get to their next category. So go one, be a good un and send it back to the ticket office.

And I for one really appreciate your away ticket updates, I find them very helpful and being in the 5+ bracket this season they prepare me for how quick I'm going to have to be when tickets go on sale to my category so thanks from me (and I'm sure many others) for all your efforts and updates. 👍🙂

And that's fair enough too - if I lived that far from Derby then I might think differently but as I've only ever lived a bus ride away, travelling to and from home games has never been an issue. I wasn't having a dig at anyone with my post so apologies if it came over that way, everyone has to make up their own mind based on their individual circumstances, I was just stating how I felt based on my personal circumstances.

I've just renewed and irrespective of whoever is the manager, whatever the style of play, the results and the division, I'll renew every season because I support Derby County no matter what.

Thanks for that Foreveram - gonna be a mad panic for us 5 plusses on Wednesday morning assuming there's any left by then.

Surprised that Bristol hasn't sold out after this mornings update, anyone know how many are still left?

Elder got clattered late on if I remember right, maybe he's struggling as a result of that challenge?

I remember Gordon Hill being interviewed when he played for us saying that his job was to cross the ball, not pick anyone out, it was the other players job to get on the end of his crosses - oh for the days of the precision crossing of Alan Hinton.

Get promoted every time for me and whilst we're outside of the Premier League that would be my answer every season, irrespective of my thoughts on whoever is our manager at that time - surely isn't that what we all want, promotion 🤔

And another thread that's morphed into one about Paul Warne 🙁

How about merging this thread with the pro Warne one and just calling it 'Warne' for example - both threads include mixed views after all.

How about merging this thread with the anti Warne one and just calling it 'Warne' for example - both threads include mixed views after all.

I've been thinking that too and would happily watch another disappointing hungover performance if we were guaranteed a top two place before kick off 🤞

Ashton Gate is always rocking when he goes, it's because we're there!

I don't know, I've heard she's sweet 😂

I know the intention for that to happen was announced but I've not seen it officially confirmed - I could have missed something though.

From what I've read his loan ended after the Burton match so if he is staying, I hope we can get him everything sorted in time for him to play on Saturday 🤞

Thanks, I didn't go last season so wasn't aware of that, I'll keep my eyes open for that possibility if I don't get a swap 🤞
