TuffLuff Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 3 minutes ago, G-Ram said: The positive from this result and WBA is that i dont think there is much between the bottom 6 prem sides and top six championship sides if hull were in the championship they could easily be top of the league or 7th and if a newcastle of brighton were in the prem they could potentially be anywhere from the bottom to 15th in the prem i genuinely think the gap between championship & prem isnt as big as it used to be & if we went up we'd potentially only need a couple of quality signings to survive it would be difficult but i dont think we'd get pumped everyweek like we did under davis & jewell Agree on the whole, the big thing for me that in the prem you tend to get more time/space. Hughes had a lot more time on the ball tonight and looked class. In the champ he doesn't get that time nearly as much. i hope the past two games will rekindle that desire and bravery to push them up the league.

SuperDerbySuperRams Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 6 minutes ago, CornwallRam said: Some stupid policing after the game.The police stopped any Derby fans from going through the gap in the steel fence behind the South Stand to get to the car park. They then funnelled all the Derby fans right towards the velodrome. After about fifty yards they bizarrely forced the streams of home and away fans together - with any Derby fans needing to get back to the East or South car parks, or wanting to get around to the river path, having to push back against the flow of Leicester fans. Whichever senior officer who made that decision needs to face disciplinary action. It was a recipe for disaster, whether from violence or just an accident. Bang on mate. There was also about 5 coppers separating thousands of fans. A bit silly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronRam 140.6 Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 We berate the offside law for the following: "Was he interfering was he not?" If you're offside YOU'RE OFFSIDE. Same with handball. None of this "didn't mean it' or "hand in an a unatural position." If it hits your hand IT'S HANDBALL. Why have we applied all the intentional/positional bullhooks. Change is not good. Penalty.

Why have we applied all the intentional/positional bullhooks. Change is not good. Penalty. Handball has always been the intentional movement of the arm towards the ball, hence the phrase 'Ball to hand, rather than hand to ball'. It would be an easier game to understand if every contact between ball and hand was handball, but then what would we talk about? I see no changing of the rule, or how it's applied.

The Scarlet Pimpernel Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Hand ball is when the hand "plays" the ball not when the ball "plays" the hand. All the ref needs to decide is if the player moves his had to the ball or not. Huth didn't to me look like he moved his hand to the ball. His hand was already out and unfortunately the ball hit it. Just beat me to it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoneedshuls Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Why oh why with 5 minutes to go and winning did we not add shackell into the back line as well as keogh and Pearce for some more added height and leadership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he did some decent stuff but also went in for some rash challenges high up and got bypassed way too easily. So it would be a decent from me. Enjoyed the game very much but it did highlight our issues. No natural cdm (Johnson not really it). No decent backup for Will. We miss the one touch football that could pick apart teams. Johnnys running into people. Not convinced we are quite as fit as we were a couple of seasons back. Still a great game. And particularly good to see the genuine mutual warmth and appreciation between ranieri and mcclaren at the final whistle. A refreshing change from the surly backbiting and pushing from the likes of wenger and mourinho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LesterRam Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 1 hour ago, Bris Vegas said: In the second half you would. We played like a battling Championship side for most of the second half. We didn't even attempt to hold on to possession or press high. We just cleared our lines and retreated. From 10 minutes onwards until half-time I thought we were fantastic. But the difference in class showed second half. We didn't attempt to outfootball them. We looked knackered and very negative (understandable considering the gulf in quality). We played from 65 minutes onwards how you'd expect to play in the final 5 minutes. Our defence were out on their feet at the end as Mahrez and Drinkwater just waltzed through. Yes but Will held up well against a current England International and we looked a different proposition after he went off, obviously they had a stronger bench and playing premiership football gives you a huge fitness edge, it was a good game of entertaining football.

PistoldPete2 Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 46 minutes ago, TroyDyer said: I can't help but feel disappointed to be honest. Up until around 70 minutes, I was immensely proud, but the way we sat deep, and invited pressure, was suicidal. Bent was hanging out his arse and the Vydra/Camara subs should have been made 10 minutes before. They were there for the taking but in true Derby fashion we imploded by leaving their main areal threat wide open. To be fair we played the last 20 minutes without hughes ... Which also affected our ability to make subs. We did well against the premier league champs . We were not quite good enough to beat them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
