@stace_dcfc Been beating this drum for years. I’m surprised Shearer, Wright et al don’t make more of it as they would be going ballistic if they played now and would probably score half the goals they did
@dgriffinpix@DerbyshireCCC A fine tribute. My Dad often mentioned Alan Ward’s action and the video you refer to bears that out. Holding and Donald are the ones I mention to my sons
I’ve started writing a blog based on being a football fan overseas in his 50’s and my thoughts on the game today. Please do have a gander and leave a comment if you like!

@henrywinter Found the ‘it’s not done’ contrived and over emphasised. Bit cringey. It’s the first time in yonks a player chooses not to cover his mouth in front of the cameras. All a bit of a show. He was right though to be fair!
@dgriffinpix@DerbyshireCCC@DurhamCricket@DerbyshireWomen Back in Derby got the week. Bringing my 7 year old daughter to watch the women and bribing her with pizza and ice cream to stay on for the men! Will say hello if I see you!
@henrywinter Sorry Henry. Disagree. Introduced a turgid soporific style that we used to view with distain on the continent, got away with it by having the best players (another PSR argument entirely) and hypnotised lower leagues into adopting the same styles. Not for me.
@henrywinter It really shouldn’t be complicated. VAR should simply apply whether a ‘clear and obvious error’ has occurred and if not, stay with the on field decision (as per umpire’s call in cricket). Also, offside should have a small margin applied within which it stays on field either way
@henrywinter Until they change the laws of the game to penalise when the ball isn’t in play there will be no change at all. They hug, hold and throw each other around to prevent movement before the ball is kicked, judging who is doing what at the split second the ball is struck is impossible
@domjdietrich@BBCDerbySport 10th to 6th with a shot at play offs with 3 games to go. Top 3 will be a cut above, next 2 a step behind and 6th up for grabs between 4 or 5 teams I reckon…..
@Alexdcfc17 I actually agree. Can’t see Hull and Wrexham getting to more than 72 pts based on how the promotion and relegation sits right now and who they have to play. Can we win both though? Ipswich winning last night was massive for us meaning Charlton have to beat Hull
Must be suffering lack of sleep, in my mind I can see us winning the last two games (last night was arguably the hardest of the 3), I can’t see Wrexham getting more than 2 pts from their 2 fixtures; Hull MAY beat Charlton but not Norwich IMO so the Charlton game is THE one #dcfc
