Miggins

Have just got back from a day on the lash so haven't been deliberately quiet because we won.
Like anything variety is the spice of life, what does irk me is the targetting of members whom don't fit in with the line of thinking of another poster and the stereotyping accordingly which is extremely narrow minded. 
I've still to this day resisted blocking anyone on here as the world seems a poorer place to not even to be able to be receptive to someone else's points of view, regardless of whether you agree with them or not. 

Why not both? 
It would be super boring to have just one set of views. The whole point of the forum is to allow varying opinions to be aired. I know some people get upset when people disagree with them, but they really need to lighten up.
The absolute worst posts on here are the people who regularly target other posters just because they don't share their own opinion.
I want both types and many more in between otherwise the forum would just end up bland and sterile.

Both, it's what makes the forum go around. Although too much of option (2) can be a bit tiresome. 

Early dinner. 

You win this thread…. Yorkshire puddings and golden syrup for breakfast are amazing…. And salt and vinegar crisps in a jam sandwich….

Cheese sandwich with tomato soup. Winter delight.

Bread, butter, chips

What if we signed Seven player’s and they are shown riding across allestree park on horseback coming to rescue us, Now all we need is a title.

If it's 3 or 4 of a quality which slots them immediately into the starting eleven then I'd be more than happy with that.
Fingers crossed!

Thanks for that. Let’s hope tomorrow and Thursday are finally a day of positive news.

I think most of us do but, sadly, it only takes a handful of noisy folk to express their frustration to make it sound like a lot.
A few things are certain: Regardless of the result, regardless of the performance, I will not be booing the team, Mel or Rooney. I won’t join in any “witty” songs about Rooney and I won’t be leaving early. I rather suspect (and hope) the majority will react the same.
That doesn’t make me a better fan (I’ll do plenty of grumbling and moaning to myself) or mean I don’t blame Mel or that I rate Rooney but I’ll do my best to support the team and accept the fact that Rooney is doing the best he is capable of and Mel is doing his best to sell the club.

I think 1-0 down and things being ugly will largely depend on the team. If it's as young as Sunday's friendly, i don't think it will. But it Captain Tom decides to chip a penalty down the middle to a keeper who just stands there... then maybe it could get ugly. 
But that's nothing new, the players that have always had stick will continue to receive it. If Bird dares pass sideways he'll have the moans and groans, if Roos doesn't claim a corner he'll have the moans and groans, if Forsyth misplaces a pass etc etc. 
Can never understand why people don't just get behind players. 
 

At the rate things are progressing I'm thinking we'll announce 4 signings and they will all arrive on horseback...

Comfort food? ?

I think going 1-0 down can happen to any team but doesn’t mean the game is lost .
The fans need to be patient this season. 

Get some perspective bud. Think of the context in which he's operating. Think of the money he's spent chasing our dreams.
You'll never forgive him? You want him booed? Poor show IMO.

Radio Derby last night said Wednesday is more likely the day the signings start with Thursday being the main day. 

Exactly ?

Why before? Surely that will be just as bad for these players, especially the young ones. Get behind them all day.

I have never booed anyone at a football match - it achieves nothing and wouldn’t give me a sense of enormous well being - get behind the lads as the crowd are worth an extra 8 points a season usually 

No other club is being hounded to death and restricted from bringing in players as a result of an 18 month vendetta against them despite not actually breaking any set-in-stone rules.
Most of our issues are a a direct result of being held guilty for a year of something we were found innocent of, and then found guilty (at the second, long delayed attempt) by decree of opinion (not law, not even based on any written rule) of a second charge, coupled with ill health leading to a reassessment of priorities.
If we were allowed to operate freely and spend money we would have done, we wouldn't be in this situation if we weren't being treated with the utmost hypocrisy by an organisation which demands everything is explained in detail to them (well, they do now, they weren't bothered 3 years ago) and yet makes up new rules without any justification or explanation at the drop a hat.
Mistakes have been made of course, but it's football and most things go tits up unless you happen to have a massive dollop of luck along the way.
It's funny just how many mistakes get covered over and never talked about by virtue of just one thing going right and vice versa
By all means shout your arse out about how much you hate Mel, I suspect you're more likely to find the people around you telling you to shut the duck up than join in with you, but we'll see.

As someone said, we have waited seventeen months to see a live competitive Derby County game.
I am really looking forward to it and I certainly won't be wasting any energy on booing anybody. 
Time to enjoy being a supporter again.

On Saturday, whatever team we put out needs 100% support. If some fans feel the need to criticise the owner / board i hope it's after the final whistle. To do do during the match will be doing no favours for our young players.

You think he doesn't know? To what end will being obnoxious to Mel have? It's not going to help or change anything is it.

I agree mate. 
I think another striker is an absolute must.
