For those that thought we should have paid more for a “better” keeper, he was one being suggested!
Suggested by who ?

I think that’s quite likely. Imagine 2 PL managers losing their jobs 2 games into the season.

Sad to see the demise of a club which won the World Cup in 1966 apparently.

Remember when West Ham won a European trophy and finished in Europe 3 seasons out of 4 and the fans wanted Moyes sacked for not playing "The West Ham way"

In other news Derby look absolutely clueless. If our Reserves can't beat their Reserves next week it's time to wrap up.

On a good run too, against The Pars.
A good watch.
A very distant relation to 'Tippy-tappy' footy. Far more Woosh!
Still enjoyable though. 8-)

Derby have equalised against Bristol City which puts Rovers in the bottom three. Good start of season for them.

If it’s possible to be world class at a very specific part of the game, Scott Twine is a world class free kick taker.

Beats me. They mentioned proximity - but I didn’t think that mattered if your arms were in an unnatural position and making your body larger?

If football ever had rolling subs for set pieces (which I wouldn't rule out as the Americanisation of the game continues), then he'd genuinely be one of the most valuable players in world football.

Nothing much apart from seeing Sullivan reminded me of the poison Dwarf ,but if I’ve offended the little people I do apologise ,might say the same about your comment.
I wanted to highlight that fact that you aren’t in the pub with your mates where you can insult people that you consider are beneath you with impunity and expect a laugh, but an internet forum where your comments can be scrutinised by all and sundry.

Hope that helps.

I'd like to know the stats for us. But he definitely scored one and hit the post with another. I'd be surprised if he took more than 5. Heck of a record.

I cant be certain, but I was led to believe, some time ago, that Cristiano Ronaldo's record from free kicks was something like 2% conversion

Scored 2 free kicks for us. Against West Brom and Cardiff. Also hit the post as you say against Huddersfield
