    Derby unable to pay players wages

    I hate to say it, but I agree, never been convinced the thing holding us back is pie money. Loving the football, but just can’t see how we ever break through to the next level (or even sustain our current one long term) without either a foolishly rich owner or some major changes to the game...

    Derby unable to pay players wages

    What wage bill do you reckon we could sustain playing at UoW?

    EFL Stats Fullbacks

    Defensively he’s fine and aerially he’s great, but as a wing back he just doesn’t offer enough going forward for me. The ideal wing back would be McCallum with Giles pace and willingness to get forward.

    Issue is stock but places are being told to throw away excess vaccine at the end of the day rather than use it.

    January transfer window

    Crowley would be a good signing. Decent window if we don’t lose anyone and get the Brighton lad and him in.

    Nice article backing up what @Brighton Sky Blue was saying about surface transmission the other day https://unherd.com/2021/01/do-you-know-how-covid-really-spreads/

    Anyone else fed up, what's your story?

    Horrible not knowing. I had a scare a year or two back and did the same thing, just became a dickhead because I was bottling it all up and didn't want to tell anyone and worry them, or they think I was being silly. Don't drown yourself in drink or drugs mate, take that as a sign you need to...

    Suicide in veterans

    Oh good, I'd thought maybe there'd be a feeling of 'going against your country' or something. I'd imagine PTSD/MH is harder to prove, but like most organisations once it starts costing them they'll take it seriously,

    Suicide in veterans

    It's all over public service/sector work. Look at @Brighton Sky Blue and his missus, I nearly had a breakdown when teaching, almost every public sector worker I've known (Police, Fire, Social Care, Health, Education) has had a drug or alcohol issue, even if it's just 'lol I drink a bottle of...

    Suicide in veterans

    Mental health support in this country just isn't at the level needed regardless, but I can't help but feel that if we're going to ask people to go into situations we know are likely to cause long term issues, we should be factoring in the cost of keeping those people healthy afterwards. I know...

    Say what you want about the Tories and Brexit, but generally I've always been proud that British people don't buy into bullshit easily. It's protected us from fascism and now anti-vax nonsense. Makes me proud.

    We've been fucking up nursing recruitment for years from what I can tell. Saw something saying that Trusts had to show tight financial control at some point and the easiest way to do that was to just cut the nurse training places and just hire bank staff/immigrants. So the places dried up. Now...

    Transfer Rumour Viktor Gyökeres

    We’d better hope Clive Eakin works for Bristol if we’re hoping to pass Baka off as Swedish.

    This too. Let COVID run rampant and hospitals will be overrun and no one gets the care they need.

    A hospital without staff is just a building. The NHS was already understaffed and its even worse with self isolation now. I get you’re frustrated but this really is the only way until we’ve got herd immunity. Giving up now could lead to more mutations and an ineffective vaccine and this crap...

    Anyone see that story about the person in the US that started two full time remote jobs, and it took them five months to notice?
