Happy New Year one and all and also Red Dogs….
Articles this year in 2016 have ranged from the subliminal to the ridiculous - as an arbitrator I am unable to say which ones I am thinking about....
Many events stretched our incredulity over the calendar year and we end by having had 4 managers – I think – since January.
WHO WOULD BE A DERBY FAN? (actually in fairness, compared to the Dark Side of the 52, I think we do OK)
The voting system has not changed and most of you will be familiar with it. To those of you uninitiated in the ways of JADCFCPoTY2014, you get 3 preferential votes.
1st, 2nd, 3rd.
1st gets 3 points, 2nd 2 points and 3rd 1 point. Geddit?
Rules:-
1/ We are going for the AV system, (as I have just pointed out) - you have 3 votes in order of preference 1, 2, and 3.
2/ First choice = 3 points, second choice = 2 points and 3rd choice = 1 point
3/ Everyone is entitled to vote.
4/ You cannot vote for yourself
5/ I am the sole adjudicator - sorry, if you have a genuine grievance about my adjudication, I will also adjudicate on that.
6/ I will keep score and keep re-posting - if no-one objects.
7/ Please inform me asap if the name below has been changed/updated or that you just object.
8/ Anything else and I have the right to change/amend as I see fit.
9/ JA606DCFCPOTY2016 will be announced before the WBA cup game game on 7th January 2016 (the games and the whole Christmas period has been a little awkward with dates – I’m sure this is the latest we have played a 3rd round FA Cup game)
10/ Please post your votes as per the following example
1 - Caniggia
2 - Rev
3 - TEG
11/ Feel free to justify your votes with memories, anecdotes or reasons for your choice.
12/ Remember you have just 6 days to vote - use it wisely.....
13/ FINALLY, I AM NOT STANDING THIS YEAR. It’s not a fit of pique or anything, I just feel it is strange sometimes to see votes coming in and see yourself top and thinking……..oh 5hit, lets hope Igor/Vidal/Iwas/666 or anyone has a late surge. But thank you for your kind words asking/telling me to re-consider, but no.
Oh.... and thank you for reading this
JA606DCFCPotY2K16 - VOTE..VOTE..VOTE..VOTE

Diamond, I'm not running (see 13 above) - thanks very much. Could you choose another second choice please?

666, I could be wrong, and although I'm a wide reader of quite a few clubs' boards, there are periods when I don't read ja606 much, so I may have missed a few or a lot of your posts, but I don't seem to have seen much of your output this past year. From what I remember of previous years, however, you are a spiky and sometimes left-field contributor, and always a poster who is usually required reading. I hope that makes you feel a little better, but I suspect it won't.
I gave Spart my re-cast third vote because he is never afraid of getting his views across in the face of overwhelming odds of disagreement and mocking chastisement from some of his fellow Derby fans. Whether he is right or wrong, he voices his honestly-held views, and for that he deserves recognition.
On the subject of giving your best ten years, etc, I sympathise. 2017 sees the sixth year I gave given my undivided attention to a certain lady, unrelated to ja606, and she has yet to deliver material and reciprocal return on my patient investment, such that she will be getting the aries heave-ho sometime in May or June if she doesn't start to cough up. She will never be dead to me, but enough's enough.

Diamondram might I suggest Iwaslevel and a worthy replacement for View.
He's a dedicated 606er and surely overdue official recognition.

That's a great idea

Iwas is a bit of a mixed bag, Diamond; only last week I heard him described by many people as 'a massive blend'.
Sounded like that anyway.
