Cracking win and superb team performance against an in form 12 man team. How was that not a penalty ? A typical small man referee in the mould of Captain Mainwaring, Macron , I hope he’s embarrassed later when he sees the replay.
UTR Knight outstanding.

Absolute masterclass tonight, especially Shinnie, won every ball, put his heart on the line. Still a beautiful footballer to have at the heart of every team.

I loved hearing him say in his interview after the game that he intends to bring those made redundant back to the club when the new owners are here. 

I’ve been critical of Rooney in the past on here so in the interest of balance I have to say he’s winning me over.  10 games in and you can see a style and pattern of play taking shape.  He’s trying to get us to play decent football, build from the back but with pace on the counter attack.
The last couple of weeks have also shown how tough his job has really been and highlighted some of the difficulties and problems he’s had that we haven’t always seen.  To find out about administration on TV must be tough but he’s handled himself well.  I also admire his honesty such as saying if he knew how bad it really was he wouldn’t have taken the job but following it with what sort of person would I be if I walked away.  It would be so easy to trot out the usual lines of it’s a big club, honoured to be here, etc.
He’s clearly building a great team spirit too.  The players clearly want to work for him.  We’re in for some tough weeks and months ahead but I’m starting to think he can bring us out of this in better shape.  Whatever happens this season, he deserves a chance to manage us in “normal” circumstances.

If he could pass on 10% of the skills he had to our team we might survive even a 21 point robbery!

Several good saves and never looked anything but assured coming for crosses. Tonight’s performance ensures great competition for the shirt. Expect Roos will get the nod again, but worthy of starting anytime in the future should Roos falter.

Fair play to Allsop tonight, had a great game, came up big when we needed him ??

Forget all this, what a team tonight.

I wish you had too and I wouldn't have to bother writing this post.

I don't give a damn if you're Derby fan, if you think it's ok to abuse other people and mock them over the death of a 2-day-old baby then I seriously do not like you as a person. And I am not saying you do think that, I'm merely saying I don't care about people like that. I'd rather have a Forest fan who was a decent person.

Just because you decided by luck or birth to support the same football team as me means nothing more about you as a person than if you prefer the Beatles to the Stones. 

And fwiw, I agree that we're no better or no worse. I had that conversation with a Sheff Utd fan yesterday when I told him I got sucker punched leaving a Derby game at Bramall Lane.

This isn't just about Billy Sharp, other Derby fans are getting upset and stressed at away games. @angieram mentioned this. So to take your all sticking together vibe, well we should be doing that with everybody and not letting some people dictate things.
A friend of mine got thrown out of a Derby game because the guy in front wouldn't sit down at an away game even though there were two OAPs behind him who couldn't stand and couldn't see and a fight broke out.


 

You could have been referring to me, sorry if you wasnt.

Don't care about everyone loving us, but surely we have a bit of self respect to not want the whole football community hating us? Like it or not, these doorknobs chanting vile crap and giving it the big one on social media are representing the fan base, and I don't like how we're coming across.

Very funny, i dont mind most songs but not 6 innocent children dying

Shaun Lowry summed this up best when talking about the abuse his wife received at the Ryder Cup last weekend:
"Nobody turns into a genius with drinking and taking drugs."

We're no different really from anyone else. That's not an excuse, but I think a lot of other clubs are understandably searching for extra reasons to dislike us. No surprise - we've completely alienated the rest of the league by bragging about spending loads of money, so no wonder many fans are reveling in the schadenfreude. 
Completely agree with the sentiment though. Why trouble ourselves with Billy Sharp when our house is on fire? 
Only thing I do find particularly strange is the flirting some of our fans have had with Rangers ever since we played them a few years back. Absolutely desperate for their attention and approval. Why were we signing sectarian Scottish football chants at Brentford away??? As bizarre as it is rotten.

I was there at Sheffield and the ones making those remarks were in groups of 6 and with a combined age of less than a pair of Derby county centre half’s - I don’t even think they know what they were chanting actually means!

You don't have to be born perfect to know you shouldn't be chanting what was about Billy Sharp ?

But sadly I dont think it is going to change any time soon. Thing is few idouts think big and clever but it is not and because of them we all get judge as the same but we are not.
Hence why I post sorry to billy sharp and his family and there fans to try patch it up with try repair the dammage it has caused.

Horrible chanting and behaviour at football happens at virtually all clubs. Horrific chanting etc has often happened at Derby just like other teams. It’s a social problem, a football problem and a cultural one where it’s ok to abuse people because it’s football. Unsurprised if sections of Derby fans were singing awful things towards Billy Sharp (no idea if it happened as I wasn’t there). 

Derby are disliked now because of the assumption of cheating. Whether that has happened or not it says something about football that UEFA are letting off super league powers like Juventus for starting a breakaway league but Derby could be fined loads of points due to accountancy policies. 

So me and raich are wrong, dont recall the numerous interviews myself, but what do i know.

The Rooney chant at every game is an absolute embarrassment. The man has a wife, kids, a family. Absolute disgrace our own fans are singing that about our own manager.
And yes, the Billy Sharp thing is equally bad. The problem is these drunk, young, probably drug fuelled idiots saw a viral video of the West Ham fans singing this about Ronaldo and they are that original and funny, thought they'd sing it about 'insert ex Forest player here' at our next game.
They'll sing it again tonight I'm sure as a result of his reaction.
Which btw was absolutely fair enough, i'd have done the same. Again a man with family, wife, kids probably at the game having to listen to that? Grow up kids.

It seems everybody in this forum agrees that the is vile and embarrassing behaviour at Bramall Lane by some Derby fans was unacceptable.
Of course a few won't really, but I highly doubt they will have the guts to say so in here.
A lot of people are growing to dislike us as much as Leeds were disliked in the 70s (and ever since tbf) and other clubs at various times like Millwall, Man U and Hope Valley Under-15s. Although the last one may be more personal tbf.
What Morris has been doing it entirely out of our control, but what those around us do, isn't.
For example, if a particular abusive chants start up, the majority could respond with something counter.
I don't mean Kumbaya, although that may very well work, or Imagine by John Lennon, although that too may work, but something like 'your're knobs and know you are etc'
Not that, clearly, that's lame, but something agreed on.
Plus, if fans en masse started filming the morons on their phones and the word had been put out that they'd be reporting to the club and/or Police it may help.
Obviously, I don't want anybody getting hurt, so be careful. And I'm happy to hold somebody's coat at the back if required.
Back in Cornwall that is.
We have to make these people thoroughly unwelcome because whereas they may not care when they're high or drunk, they will be after and/or before.
What they are doing is often illegal, and in all seriousness, it is up to us to do something about it if it's to change.
I almost want to adopt Millwalls chant of 'Nobody likes us and we don't care' but I'd be lying, I do care and I'd like Derby to be admired and respected rather than despised and mocked.

The good old DET with another exclusive about nothing 

I assume this basically means any gardening leave period is over / any contractual restraints related to DCFC are now no longer applicable.
It didn't work out for him, but i've nothing but respect for the guy and I hope he has a successful time coaching back in Holland.
