Championship Relegation

[duncandisorderly]

5th promotion or relegation in 5 seasons now for Rotherham.

[box_of_frogs]

Why do people want Derby to go down. Its a great club and Id much prefer them in the top divisions than Rotherham or Wycombe. Best result for football is that the surviving club comes from the game in the Pride Park stadium

Talking pump yet again. Why do one of the 2 teams at Pride Park “deserve” to stay up? Is this the same rationale that the 12 x super league clubs thought gave them the right to automatically be in that folly?

[KRBFC]

Cmon Wednesday

[box_of_frogs]

6 mins! C’mon Weds!

[Buxtonclaret]

Gutted for Rotherham.
So close.

[Top Claret]

Wednesday are dreadful, they don't possess a kitchen sink

Where did I say a team "deserved" to stay up? Also when you use the quote symbols its better to actually quote a word the other person said than one you made up

Pump up the jam

[Devils_Advocate]

Well done Wayne Rooney and Derby County

[KRBFC]

Rubbish, Rotherham bottlers, no idea how they got relegated with 15 games in hand near the end

If you were a Claret you would probably understand why.

With your nonsense about the best result for football is one of those 2 to stay up. Classic DA of the type we expect for a deluded Leeds fan.

[chekhov]

To concur with the DA, congrats to Wayne Rooney and his boys. Great effort and nice to see the rams staying in the championship.

In 1987 pretty much the whole of English football wanted Burnley to survive and thought the best result for football was that a club with a history such as ours should remain in the football league.

Nobody thought we "deserved" to stay up as that is a completely different thing altogether. I think your English teacher was "pump" at their job

[chekhov]

P.S. shame about Wednesday going down. Football, eh? For every winner there’s got to be a loser! But I guess that’s why we love it.

[beddie]

I wanted to see Rotherham and Wednesday stay up along with Derby being relegated, as we all know you don't always get what you wish for.

On the subject of todays football what a result for Leeds. If we make the top 10 this season Bielsa has to be on the short list for manager of the year

Rooney is going according to a Fanzine contributor I know. Which will be a pity really as he could have taken them down next season with Blackburn!!!

[Conroy92]

Apparently

you've not made that very clear. I'm only guessing from the use of "we". Doesn't bother me if you are or not!

[GodIsADeeJay81]

Nah, he just knows which clubs to be supportive of on here to get bites.

Surprised people still fall for it, especially today's efforts as they're just so obvious.

I thought there was a lot of animosity between Leeds and Derby. The Leeds fans I Know we're all hoping Derby were going to get relegated.

Living in Leeds I've often challenged the nonsense posted on here about the city, the club and its supporters. As a result some of the more fragile posters on here got upset and have branded me a Leeds supporter.

The same fragile posters now get upset when I play the very role they gave me. Its things like this that make me love this messageboard

Ahh I see. To be honest the more people on here with differing opinions can only be a good thing.

I must have missed the posts of people biting. I actually like the idea of there being posters on the board that follow other teams. It's surely a positive for healthy debates! I remember there used to be a Wolves fan who posted quite often on Claretsmad.

Doing well and happy.

The first person to respond whinging about what DA said was a bite.

To be fair it wasn't me who brought up Leeds in this thread and implied I wasn't a Burnley fan. Nothing wrong with me original post about Derby that led to posters starting to have a go at me.

If people want to be nasty i'm happy to play their game

You carry on fishing, it's amusing watching others get worked up over it even though its clear as day what you're doing most of the time.

I thought LadyWolf was your alter ego?
I remember when you swore you weren't Sidney and started arguing with yourself on different profiles to try convince posters

I'll take the blame if I post something deliberately inflammatory (which I sometimes do) but if people are so precious they get upset about a comment like I made today then the problem isn't me fishing but their inability to cope with a different viewpoint.

There's not a lot I can do where one group of people have a go at me for being a Leeds fan and the other group have a go at me about pretending to be a Leeds fan. I just wish they could all get together and make their minds up and let me know cos its very confusing for me

I was on the original email list when it first started on the old board many moons ago but never got round to going. Thankyou for the invitation and I do always click on the threads about it when it comes up and maybe I'll come along some time.

I do worry whether i'll prove or disprove the popular opinion of me on here as being a bit of a knobhead

When we play Leeds next season get yourself down for one of those 50/50 scarfs. Problem solved

[Culmclaret]

Always had a soft spot for Rotherham going back to trips to Millmoor in the 80s. Never a happy hunting ground but close to the station and through a scrap yard meant it was an ‘authentic’ football experience. Players such as Rod Fern, Ronnie Moore, Tony Towner and (ahem) Gerry Gow. Between 82/3 and 84/5 we had three games at Millmoor where we dominated but only came away with 2 points. The last being a defeat when we had taken the lead with 10 minutes to go. The S Yorks police were out in force at Sheffield station that day and on our way back decided to lay into Clarets fans for having the temerity to try to catch trains in the direction they wanted to go. You could tell that that lot had scented blood during the miners’ strike and had a taste for it.

[beddie]

Do you think Deby will try and lure Lampard back as their next Manager?

Back to the footie.
That was enjoyable, seeing pep get worked up and Chelsea throw a spanner in cieh’s championship party.

[chekhov]

And a word about the Sterling non penalty. Yes it was probably a peno, but I have some sympathy for the referees. Certain forwards are so skilful at engineering contact in the box to make it look like a trip, it’s hardly surprising that the eyebrow of suspicion is so often raised. I have absolutely no sympathy.

Having seen the replays on MOTD I can see why Pep was adamant it was a penalty, however perhaps on this occasion Sterling's reputation preceded him, and put doubt in the refs mind, but how the VAR official couldn't see there was contact by the defender baffles me, mind you what's the point of giving City a pen they rarely score them do they.

It was a stonewall penalty. Understandable in some ways that it wasn’t given by the ref but baffling that the VAR didn’t overturn, or at least suggest the ref takes a look on the monitor.

Really hope Charlton can make the playoffs today.

And the decisions balanced themselves out yesterday. The first one was definitely very “soft” i.e. it wasn’t a penalty, but I bet Pep didn’t want to consider that thought.

Yes I must admit on first viewing I wouldn't have given it, but once I saw the other angle it was an obvious decision, so why VAR choose not to intervene is confusing to say the least, this is precisely the times they should help out the officials.

And yet that blatant penalty wasn't given, well on the same day Harry Kane had a goal disallowed for offside when at worst he looked level, this is what is driving fans about the game, they can't see the clear and obvious errors, yet they will intervene when a player has a fingernail offside.
