Still a better season than I thought getting in play offs would have been a bonus. 
But some of the penalties given against this season have been atrocious 

I find it very odd how people almost go above and beyond to say a decision against us was so correct and we're just moaners. I happen, because of where I lived most of my adult life, to be a regular on a PL team's board - To a person, every single one of them that have commented has derided that decision.

Oh f*** off, never a foul, never a penalty, and never a sending off

Last man doesn’t mean anything. He was tapping into an empty net from 16 yards out. It was a clear goal scoring opportunity which is what the laws use. 
 
Wasn’t a foul but if the foul is given a red has to follow in that circumstance. 

100% - In fact, it's not an expensive process, the onus is on the individual to prove the background of the cash, all you have to do is ask!

I think you're comparing apples and oranges there, Goldman Sachs are looking at the future, they're making an investment or, a bet. They are looking at projections, the product and of course the people and they've made a decision that the risk was worthwhile. And who knows, it may well be. The EFL and Quantama should be looking at the past, very specifically, what is the provenance of this money? It's very basic anti money laundering processes, maybe they don't consider this important??
Again, I think many are misunderstanding what the problem is - It's not about whether the money exists, it's relatively easy to show I've got x in my bank account, (for a short period at least!), it's about asking where the money came from. That's what the UK bank will have done and that's almost certainly why he couldn't move the money accross. So the financial services process worked, the processes of the football regulators and the club's adminstrators failed miserably.

And stuff like this is why I don't trust Maguire on anything - spots something somewhere, immediately jumps on Twitter to show off and then ends up having to delete the tweet when it turns out it was nonsense.

I tend to agree with this. I take Angie's point completely about "where do we draw the line?" but I think my answer would be "somewhere after this guy". At the moment it feels like there is barely a line at all.
I'm sure proper auditing wouldn't come cheap, and both the government and EFL are probably worried that fans (who tend to get excited about any proposed sale, and aren't the best at asking difficult questions) would see them as "the bad guy". But keeping people like this out of football isn't being "the bad guy". It's doing your job as the regulator, and protector, of the game. 

They aren't, or shouldn't be, powerless - I cannot believe that neither the EFL nor the administrators had a robust process in place to validate the source of funds, it's a very normal practice and one that perhaps the banks did properly and hence the money never materialised. At best, the EFL and the administrators could be considered a little negligent.

Indeed they did, Derby report bums on seats now....

The definition of the word would suggest it was a dubious decision.

He is level. I paused the highlights. His left shoulder may be an inch offside but you can't blame a linesman for not giving offside.
 

Did you see his save in the first half?
Worst that mistake did is just cancel that save out. He's still had a good game overall... far from embarrassing.

Oh my life, Where is the tool who gave the penalty, Not even in the picture, Cheated is a long way off, Total incompetence by him I'd have said.
PW will be getting an invite to explain his "cheated" comment to whoever gives out fines...they'll back the ref no doubt 😡 

Hmm what's happened to that famous city ground atmosphere? I haven't heard it all evening.

And we can no longer be relegated!

Depressed as missing yet another midweek game because of being away with work, but at least can always guarantee that the positivity of the dcfcfans commentary team will cheer me up. 

You don't get to police how other fans respond to Birmingham to be fair. If you want to rise above it, good on you. Personally enjoying the schadenfreude.

Definitely not the sort of thing I would post or say but, as others have already mentioned, social media is chocka with this sort of stuff. While the PAFC admin are kind of correct to call it out, it just reinforces the tribal nature of football - If they (and other clubs and fans) REALLY want to champion getting rid of this sort of things then they must call out their own fans. It's harder to do but that's when people will take notice.

I will never get over what the EFL did to my beloved club.
Surprises me why other readily accept it

I don't understand why some threads that are shown to have absolutely no basis are locked and others, such as this one are not. There has never been any link whatsoever as far as I can see to us being interested in signing Martin

Exactly this! "West Ham won't have many easier games this season" is probably the most banal statement I've read in a while ?
