Tyler Durden

When he walked in front of the SW Upper applauding, he definitely got a good, surprisingly loud rendition of the 'Keogh, Keogh' chant from those around me.

Have only just seen today's result but thought I'd better post something to say good result!
And also to remove the likelihood of a tedious where are so and so on this forum after a Derby win thread starting up.

Ashamed to be a Derby fan today.
Keogh always gave absolutely everything in a Derby shirt during his seven years with us, player of the year twice, as good as it gets at this level, picked in all of the various Derby teams of the decade. On a personal level, he was fantastic with my two boys when they were mascots and he was captain. But yeah let's boo him for getting injured in an accident which due process has concluded he wasn't at fault for.
His sacking was indefensible. It was always obvious he'd win his appeal. Just another example of Mel doing a Boris and thinking the rules didn't apply to him.  
Embarrassed to be associated with those of you that booed Keogh. Derby fans used to be so much better than this.

I understand that. Maybe save your hate for the person at the club who thought they could do what they like and run roughshod over UK Employment Law without any comeback. 
Naive at the best, crass at the worst. 
 

He sued the club for monies that were incorrectly withheld from him as he was unfairly sacked. If the club had followed due process then the whole issue wouldn't have arisen at all which is again down to the stewardship at the club. 
I'm not condoning his behaviour for avoidance of doubt I'm just illustrating that his sacking was dealt by the club in another cowboy manner and was correctly found to be unfair - how on earth you can think you can sack a player for not committing a criminal offence so therefore not gross misconduct but then retain the services of two players who did commit criminal offences is mind bogglingly crass. 

Because he was found by the PRDC not to have been guilty of committing gross misconduct and also not bringing the club into serious disrepute. This judgement was subsequently upheld by the LAC.

There's a huge difference that you're not recognising - footballers are on fixed term contracts so if the contract wants to be terminated by the employer then they either have to have the agreement of the employee, pay off the remainder of the contract or prove that the employee breached the contract.
What Morris tried to do was illegally vary Keoghs fixed term contract by forcing him to take a pay cut which Keogh then refused and was subsequently sacked. 
Keogh won the unfair dismissal case as he wasn't guilty of an act of gross misconduct so there the termination of his fixed contract was unfair.
An employment tribunal for a standard employment case would have come to the same conclusion and the unfair dismissal upheld for exactly the same reasons - Keogh was not guilty of gross misconduct.

Be hard for you to keep track I imagine!
I just feel sorry for any fool furiously refreshing because it was promised we would have a named preferred bidder by the end of the week. How gullible was I...er I mean, are they.

I hadn't noticed tbf. If we do then it's nothing personal from my end.

We obviously disagree so no sense in banging heads with you. 

Because our poohouse of a former owner enabled him to sue us by not following employment norms and thinking he could act how the hell he liked. If you had been Keogh and had been treated in that manner you would have done exactly the same as he did. 

Played over 300 games for us I think and was consistently excellent by and large. He didn't commit a criminal offence and was clearly entitled to pursue a claim for unfair dismissal after we retained the services of those who did break the law.
It's a hearty clap from me.

What would you do in his position? Why would you blame him for being wrongly sacked? The financial troubles aren't Keogh's fault. If you're booing him for the Joiners incident then fine, but he was found wrongly sacked at a tribunal. The club (Mel) should be booed for that.
