    I've really enjoyed this season, and wouldn't mind if it was extended for a few more weeks.

    Eddie got a reaction from Turk Thrust in Retirement thread   
    I packed it up just before my 65th birthday.
    A couple of months later, I was at a dinner in Brizzle (a few beers beforehand in the Strawberry Thief, which might explain things) and I allowed my son's boss to persuade me to work for him as a PCI Compliance consultant/Business analyst on a part-time basis. I gave it 4 years then knocked it on the head again, and finally properly retired a couple of years ago.
    I now spend my time watching the rain at the County Ground.

    He obviously suddenly remembered doing the Dogs 2 favours by disallowing 2 Rams goals a while back and decided to right the wrong 😉

    There's nothing 'alleged' about you being Florist scum though from the standard and inflammatory nature of your usual posts though is there, despite your banal protestations, treetard.

    The ten (10, TEN) witnesses who died was lucky though, wasn't it?

    Nice to see you care more about others' claims and suspicions than what courts of law decide. And then use "alleged" to chicken out of passing it as your own opinion due to fear of libel and lack of proof.
    I presume if someone takes you to court and you are cleared you'll remain an (alleged) rapist/wife-beater/pedo for life (and they can happily slander you hiding behind a screen)
    PS No affiliation to said club or individual just find it really cheap.

    I can't speak for other people (I leave that to people like you who have a crystal ball or some deeper insight that I'm just not wise enough or clever enough to possess) - but I get behind the club from top to bottom.
    My philosophy with respect to the manager of Derby County is that I will support them until the day that they no longer hold that position. I started watching The Rams regularly 58 years ago when we moved back into the area (the love affair was, by and large, from afar before then). Tim Ward was manager at the time, so he had my support. I didn't call for his head when we finished 17th in the old Second Division, and neither did I call for Brian Clough's head the following year when we finished 18th. I just carried on supporting the club.
    You would have been yelling for Clough's head though - because Clough was a Fourth Division manager, and you would have not deemed him good enough for a Second Division side. Now before you start some sort of mindless prattle about comparing Warne with Brian Clough (or even Nigel), I'm not. I'm just saying that, sometimes, a particular manager in a particular club at a certain time can be a good fit - or a bad one.
    Coming back to the point I highlighted, it seems to me that people are either on board with Paul Warne or they're not, and it doesn't matter what he achieves this season or in any subsequent time that he may be at the club - the doubters/haters will still be doubters/haters, and the reason for that is simple - some people do not have the capability to ever admit in public that they were wrong, no matter how much evidence mounts up one way or the other.

    I'll settle for catching practice.
    If Derbyshire had taken their chances before lunch on day 1, it might well have been a feeling of "The weather robbed us" as opposed to "The weather saved us".

    Not quite, as a neutral ground was suggested, so no advantage finishing 5th over 6th.
    If the higher placed team was to get a home tie, then you'd be bang on.
