No argument from me Rev lad. Congrats on that speed camera photograph featuring Bielsa on the Derby forum. It has been very well appreciated as it is truly amusing. Proper banter and I appreciate it.

Fair play - as I recall you do seem to be a decent enough kind of chap..being a Leeds fan means you tend to get it tenfold so maybe when the shoe is on the other hand the Rev can go a 'little' over the top.

Are you being serious Tich?

You think its all OTT?

Have you forgot all the sh1t we copped for when one of our members of staff decided to stand on a public pathway and watch a team training?

Have you forgot how high and f*cking mighty Fat B@stard Lumplard and Mel "Bellend" Morris were?..pair of c*nts threw us to the wolves and got every Leeds hating tosser out there on our backs.

I would say what we did was nowhere near as bad as what these w@nkers have done but I bet you a pound to a pinch of sh1t they don't get nowhere near as much air time as what we got.

Derby fans were very very happy to drag us through the mud over "spygate"...bet they don't feel as smug now do they?

Let em have a taste of what we had

Some serious aggravating features from what has been reported in the news. Not really an EFL/ FA issue but one for the police and CPS.

I would be amazed if both the drivers don’t get prosecuted and spend time in jail. The photos of the wreckage look horrific and there was an oblique suggestion is that the two cars may have been racing as it seems they collided.

Very lucky that no third parties were involved and badly hurt or worse outside of those in the cars.

George, as a Derby fan, if you are right on what you write, then I am totally in agreement with you. No sympathy for me for any and all punishment they get. However, the only certainty so far is they have been charged with drunk driving. There are no witness statements, no video, no police statement, no club statement that they were racing. If they were then jail time is called for IMO. There also a lot of Twitter posts suggesting certain powders being involved. They don't come from the East Midlands, not even Nottingham. This is mischief making and is, thus far, no more than fiction. Should that be true then I would call for an even longer jail sentence. Some of you have a look at DCFC fora from time to time. I think you will find that nobody is condoning these actions and very many are in the same vein as the concensus on here, namely, sack the drivers.

IMO, this is way too serious an affair to have you and us "having a go over it", especially considering fans of both clubs appear to be of one thought, namely, the repercussions should be severe. My own thoughts are that the drivers shouldn't play for the club again. The passengers should be severely dealt with but, as the club said, should be rehbilitated back into the fold. Cocu has already said all of them will be doing a lot of work with the DCFC Community Trust. That will greatly curtail their afternoon rounds of golf and I am all for it.

Cheers MA. Crazy isn’t it, you are probably like the rest of us here, just regular guys enjoying our teams each and every week-end, spending our hard earned. Doesn’t matter what team or sport, these so called stars are a complete embarrassment to all us fans, I hope all the other so called stars are following this closely.....but I doubt it. What ever happens they ought to know....but I doubt this also just how lucky they are. They lived to face whatever they get and most important no other innocents were involved, like unfortunately in many, many cases. We seem to be doing our bit in trying to curb racism in football......this is right up there the ridiculously ugly amount of money and disregard of it by the players who are supposed to be role models.
Let’s hope the clubs take a hard long look at this problem, which it is.

Mason Bennett was filmed being sick in a pub toilet by his new Derby captain Tom Huddlestone just hours before crashing his car and being arrested for drink driving.

The 23-year-old was arrested by police on Tuesday night along with team-mate Tom Lawrence.
Snapchat videos uploaded on the night by Huddlestone have surfaced showing Bennett vomiting into a urinal while his colleagues mocked him for only having 'three pints of Peroni'.

Good to see Huddlestone demonstrating such fine leadership skills by filming his team mate vommiting prior to watching him risk multiple lives by climbing behind the wheel whilst evidently drunk. If Derby had a shread of decency or integrity they would sanction him severley and strip him of the Captaincy.

I'm not holding my breath (unlike the moron who was drunk driving who was probably not overly keen to blow into the bag for the nice policemen).

Neither the club nor ANY footballing authorities will apply ANY sanction because they are, to a man and/or woman corrupt and spineless to the bone and beyond. Their past record speaks volumes for their ineptitude and corrupt practices, this "incident" will be no different.

Prove me wrong you spineless f0kwits, if you dare!!!!!!

[MadAmster]

WTF11, I hope you are wrong. All Derby have said so far is that those involved will be hit hard. Obviously, any club fine is limited under footballing rules and regs to 2 weeks. They have also said there will be a lot of work for them to do with DCFC Community Trust. Both are a given and have been put in the public domain. What next?

The club is investigating the incident, as are the police. I think the club is waiting to see the result of the court case on October 15th before passing its own judgment. Jail time, which is a distinct possibility if even half of the "social" media chatter has any truth to it, will IMO lead to both players' contracts being ended there and then. It seems neither driver was hurt but I would be extremely disappointed in my club if either of them played today against Brum or indeed at all until after the court case.

I will be hitting all the online Derby pages I know of today posting up a chant I hope will resonate around Pride Park this afternoon.

Please don't drink and drive
Please don't drik and dri-i-ive
Don't be stupid
Please don't drink and drive

Keogh out for the season 😂😂😂😂😂

Caveman Keogh. How is he going to hunt and gather now?

To be fair Rev - it was a bit tongue in cheek/wind up - but I do remember having a few pints and driving home back in the day [Got stopped too one time when the cops where looking for the Ripper - scared me off doing it again!]

I think that their punishment will be entirely down to the club - so doubt that it will make much difference - apart from losing Keogh for the season which I do think is a big loss for them despite the piss taking.

I will be happy to see them go down though.

[Tichi1]

Ironically I see LUMP'O'LARD whilst having plenty to say about Bielsa getting the fair play award - when asked about his old boys at Derby and their little driving escapade he says 'He doesn't like to talk about other clubs' - apart from us obviously

fat lazy hypocritical Lard arse!
