Keogh

[Trickytreesreds]

Posted his appeal against dismissal for gross misconduct. Back by the PFA.

Not over yet then?

[ramAnag]

No sh*t Sherlock.
Do you think anyone in Derby thought it was? This one will run and run until the truth (maybe) comes out.
We already have a ‘Keogh’ and a ‘Keogh sacked’ thread. Apart from satisfying your evident delight at our misfortune is there really any need for a third?

Wow, such anger and evasion.
Obviously this grates you and the fact it is a derby topic, not worthy of discussion.
You really should leave your political snowflake strops, to the politics thread.
I could make a teacher joke here, but you'd only throw another wobbler and scream and scream and scream until you are sick.

Probably the daftest response, even from you, for a while.
How am I being ‘evasive’...I’ve just pointed out that we all know it’s not over, that there are already two Keogh threads and that you love every minute of our/Keogh’s misfortune.

‘Obviously this grates you’...whatever that means...yes, I’m sad that a player who gave so much for DCFC should have his career ended in this way. Most decent folk will be. Whether his behaviour deserved it I have no idea, maybe we’ll find out.

As for the rest...you seem to be having much more of a strop than me. Now run along.

You are having a strop.
Straight in feet first.
Snowflake suits you well

Tricky, are you a politician? You act like one and do it well. You accuse rA of evasion when, in reality, it is actually your good self who is being evasive. rA asked if you really thought it necessary to start a 3rd thread on the same subject. You haven't answered. If that isn't evasion what is?

You go on to slate rA. That is classic deflection. Another ploy regularly used by politicians. If you aren't one already then I think you should seriously think of a career change as you obviously have all the character traits necessary.

Cheers MA...your objectivity and common sense is appreciated.

Suspect he didn’t like being ‘called out’ for more repetitive ‘sh*t stirring’ about Keogh - in this instance - or the valuation of PP in another, hence the ‘deflection rant’. Ce la vie.

Moving on...don’t know how aware you are of the fact that many of the low lying areas of Derbyshire are currently under water or at least unprecedentedly flood prone. As a resident of the Low Lands and a country that seemed to effectively address such problems centuries ago...do you know if the Dutch have any observations or solutions to offer?

[Geoff Parkstone]

I'm guessing putting your finger in it is not going to get the job done. Swimming lessons maybe? It seems to me like a once in a 100 year scenario and so cannot be contingency planned: the "blame the government card" has naturally been brought to the table of course, in my view unfairly.

I'm not sure there is a solution, since I don't think there is a recurring issue to solve. It's not like it's a global warming sea level rising problem. Whenever councils etc try to put flood defences in, the local nimbies seem to try to prevent it anyway.

The excessive rain is maybe a function of global warming, but who knows and the naysayers will stop any action being taken anyway. If this is so, then it needs concerted global action (and I mean action, not gluing yourself to cars!) not anything localised.

Most of the Dutch waterways are man made. They are all linked via locks and pumping stations etc. There is also a pathway to the sea. In times of heavy rainfall the sluices are opened and water gets diverted and if the whole sytem looks like overflowing, it gets pumped out into the North Sea or into the Markermeer and the Ijsselmeer, 2 lakes that used to be the Zuiderzee until the Dutch built the Afsluitdijk to turn that part of the sea into 2 lakes. If the lakes get full they can pump water back into the Waddenzee which "borders" on the North Sea as well. Even the Rhine is now part of the water control system. It doesn't always work. 20 odd years ago the A2 motorway that runs from Amsterdam to Maastricht was flooded at den Bosch. There is a photo of a rower and a windsurfer on it. There are some areas around Doncaster where floods used to be once every 100 years or so. The same places are now suffering their 3rd flooding in 12 years or so with each one being higher than its predecessor. After the 2nd flood in a short timeframe, something should have been done. Many homeowners are now in danger of having their insurance company not paying out...... Time for government to take positive action to both the flood defences and the insurance get out clauses. The simple answer is Dutch style water management. Moving to a proper water management system isn't simple though. Nor is it cheap. The Dutch systems were built over a couple of centuries. Doncaster and the surrounding areas don't have that much time.
