It's got duck all to do with politics. 
Young lads are on coke rather than drinking. It's everywhere. It's so cheap. That's the problem.
Bit of sniff and a fight with your mates against anybody else is the new Saturday night. 
Honestly, if you think 18 year old lads are catching a train to a poo hole, getting coked up and therefore thinking their harder than they actually are is down to populist politics, give your head a wobble.
It's called fighting powder for a reason. 

I've said it before. There's a much greater concentration of 16-18 year old lads in stoneys who have had a sniff and don't know where the (metaphorical) line is. They're the reason the atmosphere has been brilliant at times, but they're also the reason why it's overstepped the mark.

Parry and Gibson desperately looking for ways to turn this into a fine and points deduction 

It's all a bit pathetic, but if clubs and the authorities don't get a grip, ordinary fans will drift away again. 

Our manager.

Only got RD to go on but after a promising 20 mins we were lucky to get in at half time at only 1-0 and I feared the worst for the second half, thought it would just be damage limitation. But once again this team surprises and we were excellent second half thoroughly deserved a point, could’ve even won it. Don’t agree with Ed Dawes often but he commented about Cov running out of gas against Preston and with their intensity in the first half questioned would they be able keep it going and if Derby stayed in the game they could have opportunities late on, and that’s exactly what happened, combined with a couple of tweaks from Derby (Kazim and Sibley made a huge difference) and a much better performance from Shinniesta second half which along with Bird changed the game.
As regards the team, Ebosele has twice played in the wide attacking role now against Peterborough and Cov and has underwhelmed in both. It’s a condundrum where to play him, I think that will be his position in eventually but needs more development. Reminds me so much of Adama Traore, be interested to see how far he goes but he’s certainly our most exciting player to watch by some distance just can’t quite fit him in the team at the moment.  As for Joz was he as bad as has been made out. Charlie Palmer was losing it just talking about his performance you could hear the anger and derision coming through because in his view Joz wasn’t helping his teammates out and doing the dirty side of the job, a couple of occasions he cited where Cov attacks developed and he stood and watched. If this is accurate then we can’t afford that in the team at the moment.
We said let’s see where we are after 10-15 games. Well in the circumstances the lads have done brilliantly. Crazily we are only 1 point worse off this season than last season despite having a 12 point deduction!! Just shows how bad that start last season was. If we can get a mid season of 1.7 points again with Bielik returning (like last season) then things could be looking up.
We looked at these fixtures as needing to get wins, we haven’t. But this is the championship and it never goes to plan. People were moaning when we didn’t beat fellow relegation battlers Huddersfield on opening day, they’re just outside the top 6, Luton have just gone 5th, Coventry have the best home record in the league which shows what a good result that was yesterday. We’re still relatively solid, we’re creating chances, we’re playing well. I agree with Charlie Palmer on this. We don’t know what will happen with further points deductions. Only thing we can do is what they are doing, keep chipping away picking up points and see where we are at come Christmas. The key to us surviving this season isnt even the EFL sanctions, it’s the ownership being resolved by Jan as if not, any Alleviation on points deductions won’t mean anything as this squad will be absolutely decimated in January.
Well done lads again and keep going.
 
 

Good point.
These players are giving it everything, its not always good enough, occasionally the quality is not there at crucial moments, but, you can't question their commitment to DCFC and the manager.
Perhaps Rooney and his backroom staff have used the situation to create a backs to the wall mindset amongst the squad. 
Whatever the reason, its turning into an enjoyable season full of passion and energy on and off the pitch. I've never heard the fans so loud in years and I'm loving the team spirit.
COYR ?
 

My mate was there with his son today. Absolutely sick of these poxy little coked up chav ******** - they are ruining the away day experience for ordinary fans. I know every club has got them but it’s getting worse. 

We were off it in the first half so I think it's a really well earned point. Coventry quietly impressive thus far, especially in their own backyard. I love how we've become so tough to beat. It shows a new-found mental fortitude that's been missing for so long. 
Have to say, I really like this side. It may sound odd, but it's hard to feel any real connection with a team when they go missing every week. These lads are standing up for themselves though and for the club and us fans. What's more, they're doing it playing the game the right way too. We can do this!

I worked for British Telecom for 21 years, and there was an office in the Derby Telephone Exchange where the duty sign was changed, and now read "Office of Doom, Gloom and Despondency. Abandon hope, all ye who enter". This is relevant because I travelled the entire world looking for a live stream of the match, but then had to settle for Radio Derby!
Anyone got a really sharp knife?
 
 
 
 
 
 
Actually, they were rather upbeat about the opening few minutes, because we managed 3 chances before they had their first shot on goal - the penalty! It sounded like Coventry were pressing us in groups, and not giving us time on the ball, forcing mistakes. Then when they had the ball, they attacked with pace. You know, all those things which work when we do them, but we would rather not do them most of the time. And that seemed to be the pattern for the first half. Charlie Palmer was the expert pundit and called it right - there would have to be a change of attitude, or tactics, or players in the second half if we were to recue anything.
It sounded like in  the second half we were playing our passes much quicker, and not dwelling on the ball too long, and suddenly we were in the match. Palmer was also critical of some of the players who weren't putting  the effort in, and when pressed he singled out Ebosele and Joswiack, who were walking back to their own half after an attack broke down instead of running back to help their team mates. It was a fair point, although Joswiack has done his fair share of tracking back and defending in recent matches. And as soon as they were replaced by Sibley and Richards we were on the front foot. It is possible that Rooney and Rosenior knew that Coventry couldn't keep the pressing up all game, and held the changes back until they started to tire, maximising the impact of the substitutions. I've no idea if that is the case, but it sounds good, doesn't it?
Th fans kicking off was because the Coventry lot were singing "Your going down", or something like that, and the Derby fans bit, and started to get across the dividing seats which were covered in flags. IT was pretty stupid of them, because we are not going down. End of story!
Anyways, Shinnie decided to score and put an end to all the shenanigans. I am delighted with the point, as we are the first team to take anything off Coventry at their own patch. Go Derby!

I'm a Sky Blue... Born Chaddy and moved to North of Coventry at the age of 2. Not sure I'm allowed a second team but have always looked out for your results and been a bit narked that DCFC never seem to make the big time despite the fantastic fan base.   My first game was a 0-0 in 1974 FA Cup tie at Highfield Rd.   Went today.  I agree with this comment and as the second half went on it looked like County would draw level.  A brief moment of entertainment in the stands was the side show before the goal.  Derby looked big in defence and fair play for commanding the best part of the second half.  City had a penalty call but it was waived away.  Hit the bar and had a goal disallowed.  But Derby were worth their draw.  Hope off the pitch problems get sorted out so that you stay up. 

Looked like awful scenes from what I saw. Cov fans winding up Derby fans and a section of our fans rising to it and going into the neutral zone. I really hope the EFL punish those idiot fans and not the club.
No matter what the home fans do our fans need to learn to behave. Not acceptable.

Yep this is why I no longer go away B4. I know it's a minority who cause issues but I'd rather sit with the home fans if it was possible to do so.  Used to go away with my Dad sometimes but he's in his 80s and can't stand for 90 minutes. People just used to stand up in front of him so he couldn't see anything. I'd like to see the away end divided up into half sitting half standing so that everyone's preferences/needs can be accommodated.

It's a shame that the great rep of our away supporters gets tarnished by brain dead morons..no doubt similar morons involved from Coventry as well..

Well some Derby fans let our great club again there was nearly a fight kicked off right next to us and I prayed please dont start fighting lucky two lads causing the issues there dad gave them both clip round the ears. Told them to pack it up but then after the game Derby fans fighting with coverty city fans by there train station but once again I think to much beer or cider being drunck why cant they just enjoy a pint or two not to silly level were they no longer know what they are doing.

I can tell your glass is falling by the hour. 
Cheer up - rescuing a point from a team who've won every home game this season is nothing to be depressed about. 

Agree with all the points you make but I’m impressed with the resilience we’ve discovered that just wasn’t there last season. I think we probably would have lost this game today with last season’s mentality.
Just need that little bit of luck that’ll turn a draw into a win to give the lads a shot in the arm and the management team just reward for their positivity this season.

Thanks both. He’s been winding me up saying he’s in talks with Newcastle. 

That’s how I see it today, this is the type of game that can really galvanise a team. Come on Derby 

we are well on track to stay up at the moment..the confidence of not losing that game today will hopefully reap dividends..

Excellent point away to a top 6 team. Only 6 points off the drop with 96 points still available?

All the praise the fans have had this season and these muppets undo it all in a couple of minutes - hope they can identify the trouble makers and ban every single one of them….

Sounds from commentary as if idiot brigade out in force today. That's really going to attract investors isnt it

Spot on. It is hard to maintain the level of intensity needed from our limited squad game after game and better teams like Coventry will out play us. At least we are still competing and only one down.

We only have the players we have - so they need maximum support from us and maximum effort from the players 
we are also missing Baldock Knight Forsyth and CKR is nowhere near fit so we are very limited
