Statement from the Club: "As we have said from the outset, (Derby County FC) will not tolerate any of its players or staff behaving in a manner which puts themselves, their colleagues, and members of the general public at risk of injury or worse, or which brings the club into disrepute....."...

The club statement is something along the lines of “we will not accept anybody at the club breaking the law or putting the club in disrepute...” That is clearly bollocks. He may have bought the club into disrepute but he didn’t break the law. The other two broke the law and bought the club...

I think the qualifying places are skewed towards the “lesser nations” and I think the only guaranteed English place goes to the League Cup Winners. I believe any non-champions from lower ranked nations (including Scotland and Switzerland) will no longer be eligible for the Europa League, and...

Didn’t even know about this coming in. New third tier of european competition. a positive move by UEFA to redress the balance in Europe, that they totally cocked up by destroying the European/UEFA/Cup-Winners-Cup format...? or Trying to bring in a European Super League format by the back...

perhaps we could achieve those sort of crowds if we are on an upward curve... but in the championship we rarely got 25k against the likes of Leeds and Sheffield United when they were bringing 5k+ away fans... just can’t see it myself...

I’ve (unfortunately) caught bits of both Wasps matches so far, as they’ve both been on Sky. Whilst they have indeed been second best in both matches, they’ve had decent periods of pressure in both matches too. Sad to say, but I do think they are too good to go down. However, evidence shows us...

I’m not sure on the current situation, whether or not she has UK citizenship any more. If at some point in the future, she “turns up at the UK border” then yes we should then treat her as a UK citizen (hopefully within the justice system). What we shouldn’t do is lift so much as a finger to...

It was probably said tongue in cheek, but I think we all know the inference with regard to our big away days and some of the people who turn out...

I think if we’re in the promotion hunt then the home attendance will creep up. even at Northampton when we had a game at “home” to Wolves near the end of the season, with nothing riding on it, there was a large increase in the home end as well as the away end. If we are fighting for top two...

My mum was rushed into hospital with a stroke last weekend. I was in Shropshire at the time and had a desperately fraught journey back to Walsgrave Hospital, not knowing what I was going to be walking into. Had I been held up by protesters, I doubt I’d be able to control my anger and the...

My friend from the gym who is an away day regular said that it was a typical MK Dons away day...... “6000 fans of which 5500 were total wankers....” I believe the emergency cords got pulled on his train as well which held it up for hours whilst the Transport Police were called...

I watched a small amount of the game on Sky, and on the rare occasions they panned around the ground, it certainly didn’t look like 12k. Giving the benefit of the doubt I’d have said 9-10k tops. The fact that they lost to the team who I believe just got promoted into the division is probably...

If you or I were to drive a car down Oxford Street or Whitehall and attempt to blockade it (for whatever reason) we’d be removed and most probably chucked in a cell within the hour. why people think they can do similar, including harassment of people going about their daily lives totally...

Those guys getting a kicking at Canning Town station was fantastic. To be honest they should have just let the train carry on running, they’d soon get down when realising they’re about to smash into the tunnel at 30mph. Harassing people buying burgers/working at Smithfield Market is just the...

Well done Tranmere on the victory... although I think your result last night is a more realistic picture... Southend arguably the crappest team in the division and you didn’t look remotely like beating them... hope you avoid the drop and MK Dons go down in your place.... but I can’t see it...

yes although it’s mostly on road, there’s a good 2750-3000ft of climbing, and some off-road.... apparently the equivalent flat length is 29.3 miles, so perhaps 20-30mins longer than a standard flat road marathon. unfortunately health problems in the family mean I’m no longer making the trip...

It’s “nice” and relates to the history of the city.... however I don’t think it’s anywhere near as nice as either the current home or away shirts...

Without wanting to get too cynical, I suspect if the WPL attendances were anywhere near decent, the BBC would be all over it...

I wasn’t really proposing any logic... just the thought that many families will take the opportunity for a relatively cheap trip to Wembley. How are the attendances doing for the women’s premier league after the opening day publicity...? Genuine question, I have no idea...

Seems to have really quietened down on the media (even the bbc) since that Manchester Derby on the international weekend... few results getting highlighted but not hearing much. With regards to the Germany match, I think the price might have something to do with it.... £15 adults and kids for...
