Talking nonsense there.
Roos was brought in because Carson seemed incapable commanding his area in the first half of the season. Roos came in and commanded his area caught crossed played out from the back and made some really good saves. As a matter of fact without him Leeds would have been in the final.
You obviousley didn't see his performance away at Fulham then, I did...woefull is being kind, We lost 3 nil

This is a Warnock side, They'll snarl and kick, If we stick to what we know we'll be OK, After their game last night against QPR who had a player sent off...Warnock who was on screen lambasted the ref at the final whistle in the centre circle, A real angry 70 year old he was ?

I don't get this 'life ends at 35' stuff. I wouldn't ever have classed myself as anything other than a moderate club runner, but I did manage 3 sub-3 hour marathons between the ages of 48 and 51 and a further 3 sub 3:06.
Depends how you look after yourself.
6 inch or 12 inch?

Class player. This year’s Paul Mcgrath?
I was lucky enough to see Paul Mcgrath play fur us, His knees were shot, He very rarely trained, But a player who was superb/outstanding in our defence, Marshald from the back line, Knew how to push his marker under the ball so he's win all his headers, Is Jagielka of the same mould...we'll see, One Swallow (queue puns ?) doesn't make a summer, His legs may be 39 years old but his attitude and awareness will be missed by Sheff Untd.

*Obviously, back in the proper days, it was all private hire coaches (or back of tranny vans)
I had many an invite on those vans for away games...some strange men back in the day.

I've been thinking about going to a few away games this season.
Go for it, The experience alone will be something to savour.
I've never been to an away match before! What can I expect?
Always expect the unexpected, Depends which games you pick but each to their own I guess
Is it true everybody stands up for the whole game?
No, A lot do and a lot dont, Depends on where you're going to sit...or stand
and do people take their allocated seats?
No, Unlees your Leeds or Chelsea it's best if you leave them bolted to the floor.
Is it rowdy, south stand style?
Can be, Again depends on where you're sitting
What about before and after the game?
Before the game have a mooch around the town, A bite to eat and a drink maybe, After the game a burger then straight to a boozer, But all depends on your mode of transport.
I'd probably drive so is parking an issue at times?
Depends which game you choose, It can be a pain parking near a ground, Then again there may be a car park near to the game of your choice...not forgetting that drink and driving is not an idea i'm advocating...see above.
I'm in my fifties and would like to sit down and watch the game, giving the rams a cheer on the way. Fairly typical north stander ?
Away games are not like home games, There's more excitement, Banter, Tomfoolery, Giggles galore, You'll enjoy the day...especially if we get 3 points

It's easy to fall for someone who says they are what they are, I know very well how she feels, I've not been posting on this board for a good few months, The reason being I dated a Woman who claimed she was Madonna, She took me for every penny I had, Told me stories that her ex boyfriends robbed her and she was taking them to court, So when she wins her case i'll get my money back...with interest, She was a Psycho, I'd be hit, Robbed, Shown up at every opportunity, Eventually I managed to get away after telling the Police.
I found out through friends that she 's ended up in prison, My friend said...he'd heard I was dating Mad Donna.

A longtime since my last post...So here's my 2 peneth worth.
Since lockdown from March 2020 until the begining of this season, I've found that i've not missed going to Pride Park, The poster "B4" I know how he feels when talking DCFC and going to watch them, I was the same back in the day, Eat, Sleep, Drink and nothing else where DCFC was concerned, Sacrifices over decades, I've even pinched a few bob to get into the BBG, It was a "Drug" I couldn't get out of the habit, Seen lots of bad stuff, Been involved in a lot aswell, After a defeat i'd feel pretty low for a couple of days and "sulk", Come Tues/Wed i'd snap out of it as Saturday was just a few days away, A win WOW! it's one great high, A Buzz that is hard to explain but makes you feel absolutely great.
I've shed tears of joy and tears of woe this last 50 years of DCFC, They've made me proud to be a DCFC fan, They've made me sad too, So altho I could re-new at a far lesser price as i'm now one of the older folk i've decided against it, No trudging those dark and cold winter nights to PP or having to change my plans through Sky TVs awfull schedule, I still jumped to my feet as I did on Saturday when we scored, But I never felt down when we lost, Just a shrug of my shoulders and a wry smile on my face...after all this is Derby County ?

Just before Christmas and the January transfer window, I was told a little rumour that a bid had been put in for Sibley from a Northern city Premier club, which was turned down by Derby as nowhere near enough.
Now I live in Duffield where at least 5 players, two current managers and a couple of coaches live, so from time to time you hear snippets, rumours, call it what you will, and most of the time they are just bull****. However, occasionally they are correct.
It's well know that a bed was put in for Sibley, Rooney sent Sibley away to sleep on it.

Seen Roos get some flack for the 2nd last night, harsh as it's poor defending from Byrne who allowed him to cut in and get a shot off, whilst being in front so Roos saw it late. Would the same people give Marshall flack if he conceded the same goal? Don't think so.
It's a goal you often see now, All the pundits and alot of supporters say you should not be conceding at your near post, I agree, But whether players are blocking or the ball is shot with much more precision ?♀️

Well I think anyone who works professionally in a field knows a lot more about it than a lay person. I'm going to see my dentist in a bit and I'm glad she knows a lot more about it than I do! I know football is a bit different, people have watched loads of it, played the game at a lower level and so on but I still think the analogy holds
I new a footballer who's teeth were rotten, Booked an appointment and was called in, The Dentist said open wide and i'll have a look, Well he said, I'll start with the back 4, Working round to the 2 wide ones, The 2 that's either side of the front 2 need some work but I can save them, As for the front 2 they've had their day.
The Dentist says to his assistent...thats 4-2-4

The thing is Rooney and his coaches see him every day. They also know a lot more about football than any of us. If Sibley was good enough right now he would be in the side, simple as that. That's not writing him off though, I'm sure he will come good
Do they?, Just because they played the game doesn't make them more knowledgable than you or I, They had the where withall to get to this stage, They'll have agents working for them, Their names can tick boxes, There's plenty of posters on here that have talked a good game, With setting how they would set their team out, Who they'd have taken off, Who'd they have put on, Jiggle with the formation.
Don't be clouded by their history of very good players, There's plenty of players that have become Managers once their carreers had finished, And quite a few that had bitten off more than they could chew.

That's presumably what this thread is about - people who watch Derby, and Sibley, sharing their opinions. Yes, Rooney has 'privileged access' and a world of top-level football experience and yes, he might be right. But equally he might be wrong; managers sometimes are. The point is it's a legitimate debate and not settled just by pointing out that Rooney is the manager and we are not!
Who decides whether WR is right or wrong, If Sibley plays against Brentford and scores a hatrick and we win 3-0 most on here would say Wow it looks like Sibley has taken what WR has said onboard.
If Sibley starts tomorrow and has a mare and is taken off after 60mins, Posters on here would say...Jeez he wasn't given the chance to shine.

I've rarely played in a football team.
The office where I worked forced me to play in goal once.
We were losing 2-1 at half time.
3-1 straight from the kick off second half.
We changed tactics to a 0-0-10 and let in 3 more quick goals (not surprising with only me in our half).
I refused to carry on until I had at least one defender in support.
After that the game ended in a 6-1 defeat.
I wasn't invited to play again!
I have the utmost respect for goalkeepers.
Towards the end of my playing career I played in goals for 2-3 seasons, Got to a final at the Municipal Bowl...lost 4-1 but got the headlines in the "Green Un" Scored a goal from a goal punt from my hands in Belgium, The wind was in my favour, Lost 13-0 on Markeaton park and held my hands up for the 10th and 13th goal in the changing room, Caught a cross on the Racecourse on a bitterly cold December Morning the ground was frozen solid but the ref wanted his fee so passed the pitch playable, After catching the ball I bounced it, It came up hit my chin and rolled into the net ? howls of laughter could be heard from the sidelines, Made some world class saves and made some huge gaffs.
Yes they say you have to be a little crazy to be a keeper ?

....and in open play?
P.s. even showing the goals four or five times, the video is still only 2 minutes long ?
This was your post.
"In fairness, if the subject is players who produced sod all in a Derby shirt , then Rooney is an expert"
Nothing about open play, Or how long it takes to show the goals.
Amazing given the evidence of what Rooney has done in a Derby shirt, You still find an excuse to ridicule him.

That's fine when those starting are playing well. Have any of our attacking options looked like scoring or even creating anything in recent weeks? Sibley's been closest to hitting the back of the net since Kazim scored his wonder goal against Forest.
You didn't see Shinnie hitting the post against Barnsley then?

If anyone is pressurising the kid, it's Rooney.
What utter tosh, He's 19 years old, Playing in a rather poor team, He's not a wonder kid, He's a boy with a bit of talent...no more no less, Lets pamper our young players behind closed doors, Why do you think WR singled him out, Is it because he thinks he's a pretty poor player or do you think that when WR does play him he may not be doing as WR asks, There comes a time when a manager has to speak out...it was only a week or 2 that posters on here were enthusing about how WR portrays himself infront of the camara, Sometimes there's a reason why managers "pick" on players...maybe it's because they are not listening.
Roos - could he have done better?
