To be fair they couldn't have done it without him..

- Steve McClaren was never given a chance to build his own team at Derby and we will never know how good it could've been. His first spell was a team of Nigel Clough's grafters and a load of freebies and loan (conversions). We signed some favourable deals for players like Thorne, Ince, Bent etc way below market value then. He was sacked before Mel splashed cash. HIs second spell involved a January window in which the likes of De Sart and Nugent were signed. Again he was sacked before spending any cash.
- Derby fans unrealistic behaviour derailed our season as much as the injuries did in 2015. Fans aggressive behaviour towards players had a massive impact and some players never recovered. IN particular, the Brighton game where 3-0 up at half time, and fans were abusing Derby players cos (I assume) we didn't score more, started the decline as some of our more fragile players bottled it. Hendrick was abused during the game and then beaten up in Derby town centre, Forsyth was threatened on the touchline, many players were screamed at by idiotic fans for only winning 3-0! Had fans "Been more B4" at that stage, we'd have probably been a Premier League mainstay now.
- Fans treatment of Darren Wassall is a stain on the history of the club. I am still ashamed to this day of the reaction to that Rotherham game.
- Cameron Jerome was massively underrated and even that late into his career, was a great player. We can only dream of a player that good being in our team right now.
- Most football fans attending the game don't seem to be able to grasp how much a negative/aggressive vibe impacts the players. Conversely they cannot grasp that it is much harder to lift the team than it is to crush it.

Ladies and gents, neither climate change nor Adolf Hitler are quite in the spirit of this thread.

Vegans aren't wrong, and when they finally come up with some food that actually tastes nice, they'll win the argument.

I've been playing golf and misjudging the pace of greens, with an unweighted but balanced ball for 20 years now! I dread how much it will wreck my head trying to do it with a bowling ball!

Has anyone ever played it?
I've never had a go at it myself.
As some of you know from other threads, in the last couple of years, I have connected (thanks to AncestryDNA) with my biological father and several siblings. My "Dad" is mad on Bowls, and my younger brother plays a pretty high level and is current national Scottish Champion as well as previous European Open champion (https://www.dunfermlinepress.com/news/23724957.lawn-bowls-dunfermline-northerns-daniel-martin-wins-scottish-title/)
When I first met them, I drove over to Rhyl where there was a Under 25s Home Nations tournament  (England v Scotland v Wales v Combined Ireland), it was held indoors and I didn't really expect it to be as "Rock and Roll" as it was. There were fans there, groupies, autograph hunters, legends of the game being given VIP treatment etc.
Every time I've been up to visit them in Dunfermline, there's always been someone coming over to take a selfie and chat about Bowls. I find it really surreal having tried most sports and having never even been given opportunity to try it. The skill level looks impressive and hard to master.
I know the posters here range in location, so wondering if this sport was ever introduced to you.

Hull owner has done a live fans thing tonight and some of the highlights include calling Aaron Connolly fat, calling Ryan Allsop bad (Rosenior refused to drop him) and has said passing between defenders is boring. There’s apparently been a lot more than just this. 

Hiring Phillip Cocu was a colossal mistake.  He was too lazy to study what works in the Championship before taking on the job and too self absorbed and blinkered to recognize that his style of football wasn't working and wouldn't.

WOMEN's football is s**** and they (the media/TV companies) should stop trying to force it upon us. If we want it, we will find it! The WSL is pretty much driven by spending clubs, more so than the PL.

Angry Steve after he misses a sitter.
