There’s a very good chance he would finish on 6 for the season. 

I thought he (Collins) worked really hard against Oxford. Tough job that one

I think Sibley is going to have to put up with that all season. Bird too. And in this division they’ll get less protection from the refs, especially away from home. We know Bird will keep his head and no doubt Rosie is giving Louis all the right messages. Hope they both stay fit

What’s quite amusing is watching the oppo trying to clatter Knight, who just floats away like a starling in the slipstream (and wins a foul)
 

Yes. Of course. The club makes a statement to the effect that it won’t take direct sponsorship from the sector. 
Would be nice to see a heavyweight company with a big presence in Derby step into the breach when that announcement is made

Ok fair enough. But the Barker comment was at the beginning of the game and reflected his impression of H over the years. That said, if he pops winners in for us on a regular basis there’ll be few complaints 

Surely the OP would agree with everything you say. But his ambitions are realistic 

Indeed. And there are things going on in those areas too. For me, this is something that is doable, and will help, but of course the issue is much bigger than Derby or football. But that shouldn't be a reason for not doing what we can.

(Just to avoid confusion, this was @BaaLocks’s post which Unlucky Alf responded to. )

Jimmy Carr probably shouldn’t have told this joke, even to his own fans who pay for exactly this; because it was inevitable that some people hearing it would think it was intended to be anti-Roma. I don’t think it was at all. It was a subtle joke about political correctness, prejudice (against Jews as well as Roma), about listener expectations and more, all brilliantly packed into about 3 sentences. 
 
But these days it was bound to get him into trouble.  

They’ve got some great talent, Williamson is so like Bobby Moore you don’t notice her half the time and Stanway and Hemp are world class. But the Germans and the French are better ‘man for man’ - Oberdorf and Cascarino in particular are fabulous and Malard makes Virgil VD look like a puppy dog. We won because Wiegman is the best manager and because she’s enforced the US work ethic that she learned under Anson Dorrance. It’s the same reason Liverpool and City are so dominant

The men have no chance of replicating the feat, because Southgate hasn’t got the same ability to pick a squad or manage a game

Fenway Group won’t let Liverpool accept any sponsorship from the gaming companies. Costs them 10s of MMs a year. The owner agrees with @whestonramand thinks it’s immoral. 

DC has reset the culture of our club. Hope it stretches to doing the same

The government recently chose not to implement a ban following pressure from Premier League clubs, so we're unlikely to see any ban come in the near future.
It's a difficult one, morally you wish they wouldn't, yet it's difficult to turn down money.
It's not just gambling either, alcohol, pay day loans, credit cards, junk food, all can destroy lives and ideally wouldn't be plastered around on TV, radio, newspapers, sports grounds etc.

Ultimately there should be a ban on all gaming company advertising, so the sky bet logos should be removed. Plenty of people who get hooked aren’t feeding their kids and as the op points out even worse things happen
