Wonder how often last season Derby fans could ever say 3 winable games

[Spaghetti Incident]

Knew not long after we had scored that it wasn't over. You's were gonna come at us. Disappointing that it was a corner that undone us. Especially when we had a set piece of our own only 30 seconds earlier and wasted it.

What makes it worse for you is the fact we are alway always always always shocking at corners and our smallest player got the header

Still not sure if our disallowed goal should of stood or not, i watched Football First this morning and it didn't look like the whole ball had gone out

Heres the way to look at it.

If it had of been the goal-line would you be calling it a goal?

Dunno but they won once all season so...... but Fulham, Newcastle and Stoke are all winnable for us. Though we'll mess up somewhere, probably against the Scum.

And about the crowd yesterday i really think Quinn needs to come up with some idea of making it more affordable for our fans. I know a fair few people who just cannot go anymore as seasons tickets are now near £500 and a ticket for the game yesterday was £33. We had 47,000 for the Arsenal game last season, yesterday the crowd was 40,199. Im lucky my grandad bought me my ST. And Sunderland is a poor area tbh, luckily most of our fanbase is regional.

Is it Fulham away or home?

Probably, i'm a football fan i will always feel hard done by

But the facts would still be that the whole ball didn't cross the line

I'm not bitter about the result or anything, 1-1 was a fair result. Sunderland played well and stopped us from playing

It was very close to be...until they make backline assistants its always going to be near impossible for the linesman to fully tell. Especially giving Walcott's body would of been in the way.

Don't think anyone went for Bolton away win.

Away. So id guess Fulham will see the game as winnable too ...we did beat them 3-1 at Craven Cottage last season. Id settle for a point.

What you think of Liverpool's chances today?

Depends what Man City turn up today, the one that beat Pompey 6-0 or the one that lost at Wigan last week...

Yeah well that's my problem, why would the linesman even attempt to make a decision if he couldn't see?

We really do need Goal line technology and all that shit

I don't see how it would interrupt the game too much

We had the same shit at Reading last season when there last minute goal didn't look over the line.

Totally agree, i never like seeing empty seats. 40,199 is still alot though at least it's not like at Wigan where one guy and his dog turns up

Proves my point that we need it, i mean it happens too often and usually costs teams vital points, when the right decision could easily be made
