Saw her at Wembley - she looks great from the rear.

That compliment reminds of Arthur Cox's tribute to Mickey Lewis......

"The best player on the pitch when the opposition have the ball".

I feel sorry for Cyrus Christie, because we know that all football fans (especially DCFC fans) have their scapegoats in a team, even when the team is doing well.

 

Last season Ward, Eustace, Dawkins, Grant, Forsyth and Buxton all had their share of stick at times. In previous years we've had people like Gareth Roberts who did okay but fans still chose to get on their backs...

 

Christie will most likely be the only player in our ideal starting 11 that wasn't here last season. When you add that to the stick he's already getting, before he's even kicked a ball in a Derby shirt, it's clear to see that he will be the scapegoat this season. It's unfair really.

Sorry, spoke too soon. Judging by twitter folk following Keogh's mistake at the Notts County friendly, Keogh will be the scapegoat. You got lucky Cyrus.

He might turn out to be really good though or are we discarding that idea offhand?       :lol:

Doesn't matter how good he is, if you're chosen as a scapegoat, you're scapegoated. End of story. People outright ignored how good Bucko was last season to blame him for everything...

That's a very good point actually. Especially considering Bucko was astoundingly good. I suppose Bucko had his non-league of reputation preceding him though, Christie is more of an unknown quantity...      :lol:
