Rams are the gift that keeps on giving

The old phrase "play to the whistle" may need to be painted on to the training room walls at Derby County during this week's international break.
Saturday's 106th-minute penalty at Ipswich was the third time in August the Rams had gifted the game - or a point - to the opposition in injury time.
So the need to keep control beyond 90 minutes must be top of the learning tree for the squad who are around the training ground this week.
In the Bible, verse 13 of chapter one of Corinthians says: "And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity."
Derby County are certainly proving this with their charitable nature by gifting late goals to grateful opponents.
It's heartbreaking stuff for a new squad and fan base full of hope, and given faith by the owners who have bankrolled 13 new signings this season so far.
