horizon Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Not seen mention of Keith Andrews who was full of praise for Rowett and our performances and said we're nailed on for autos with maybe villa pushing us. Not got a problem with Mac either because at times our football does look pretty dire Edit - the commentary during the penalty incidents was a joke though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doodle Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 I watched the game again this morning on sky, just in case we scored today. Sky is in the entertainment business, simple as that. They will praise and rightly so, any team who’s games turn up plenty of goals, in either end. Sky loved us in the 1st Mac era because of that and now Bristol likewise. Let’s be honest, very few people will pay to watch a championship game they have no affinity for if it’s 0/0. They can sell a 4-2 far easier. I feel we are being damned by our early season performances. It may surprise lots of people, me included. But we are good to watch now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BramcoteRam84 Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Hinchcliffe is usually pretty good but talked ******** last night when he thought a draw was a fair result! I think there’s an element of they’ve picked Bristol as the exciting footballing underdog, if you remember we had the same on the run to the play-off final. But since then we’ve spent a fortune and blown several chances so have received negative press...and rightly so. Don Goodman states the obvious most of the time, when Derby are bad he slated them, when they’re good he probably goes over the top in his praise. I like Keith Andrews, think he talks a lot of sense. McClaren I think was trying to justify his position in football...sad as he doesn’t need to, he’s had a decent career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poynton ram Posted January 20, 2018 Author Share Posted January 20, 2018 Agree about Keith Andrews, comes across well and to be fair whilst I know he has an affinity to the club Danny Higginbotham is the same. Caught 10 mins of the Weds v Cardiff game and the commentator whose name escapes me mentioned that the injured Keiron Westwood is "arguably the best keeper in the division" - decent keeper yes but Carson is better - how many clean sheets have the owls had?

Said commentator says that in every game Wednesday have on Sky. If he’d just replaced “arguably” with “one of” he would be right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cannable Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 In all fairness, most pundits and summarisers don’t have a clue what they’re on about. The only pundit I’ve ever seen not spout ***** is Slaven Bilic. Much rather journalists were hired as pundits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It works with this squad and management set up and it’s something most have accepted. Most of our season has been similar to last nights performance, a bit in and out, very wasteful in possession but normally we’re clinical in front of goal and put teams to the sword with decisive, quick attacks. I’m enjoying this season, will be absolutely made up with second place or even a top 6 berth. But let’s be reyt about the football, it’s taken a firm back seat.

uttoxram75 Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 I’ve found that as a life long Derby fan, it’s important to not give a **** what others say about our club. They can love us or hate us but all that matters is that We Are Derby. We are the Millwall of the Midlands- no one likes us, we don’t care. ???

We play excellent football at both ends of the pitch, but I wouldn't describe the way we get from one end to the other as nice football (at times), especially from McClaren's perspective. And especially yesterday. But it doesn't need to be, which is why Mac got the sack and Gaz is in charge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EssendonRam Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 I generally don’t listen to the TV commentary and stick to the RD commentary, mostly for the familiarity. Occasionally, however, when lazy or finding it difficult to sync words and pictures, I’ll listen to the Sky commentary. My issues with the Sky commentary generally are (in order): 1. Dull, they sometimes have an air of ‘thank god I get paid for this’ and often sound over-rehearsed; 2. They’re not the Radio Derby pairing. For all of their flaws, I like Ramage & Co and they’re my connection to Derby; 3. Occasionally there are commentators who seem to take an irrational dislike against one term or the other. Funnily enough, I tend to find it more irritating when they seem too pro-Derby as i’m more than capable of providing my own Derby-biased comments (or of switching back to Rammers who’s unashamedly barracking for Derby). Part of that is that the bias is usually based on “barracking for a good game by favouring the underdogs” rather than liking or disliking one of the teams which is pointless most of the time. What I saw while listening for a while last night was that. After Bristol City started the better, we settled and were the better side. It seemed to me the Sky commentators were wary of Derby scoring first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the thins that annoys me most is they always seem to have spent all week deciding on what the narrative is and then try to make the game fit into that e.g. Mac "bristol were the only side playing football" which is pure balls, we were playing decent football too, sometimes i thought we overplayed by usual rowettball standards... yes well it was Mclaren,worth listening to for the novelty value Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rampage Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 David, please tell Mel that we do not want Schteeve discussing our team next time we are on Sky. Mel probably didn't want it either, in fairness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watched the game last night and thought Andy Hinchcliffe was constantly critical of us whilst showering regular praise on Brizzle. That ex Wolves plonker Goodman is the same. I have no issue with constructive criticism but let's have some balance. No, not at all. Seem keen to chat to Rowett and Morris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dethorn Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 The bit that got me was "Jerome should have gone down there" followed by "Jerome probably overdid the dive" 15 seconds later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
