Talk:List of association football rivalries in the United Kingdom

message: The article incorrectly cited the Pools Rivalries 2008 Report as stating the following were found to be the top 5 rivalries.
# Millwall and West Ham
# Cardiff and Swansea
# Birmingham and Aston Villa
# Arsenal and Tottenham
# Bristol City and Bristol Rovers
This was incorrect - the actual top 5 listed in the report were as follows:
1. West Bromwich Albion and Wolverhampton Wanderers
2. Ipswich Town and Norwich City
3. Liverpool and Manchester United
4. Portsmouth and Southampton
5. Cardiff City and Swansea City
Please check if you need to confirm this - the link is on the page. I've amended this error.
Is there really such a derby? And between Luton Town and Stockport County? They're hardly local to each other. Daemonic Kangaroo 17:19, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  2008 Football Rivalries Report 

message: I don't understand why some are "main derbies" and some are "other derbies". How is the Black Country derby any less notable than the West London derby or the East Lancashire derby, for example? Marky-Son 16:31, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed. The division is inherently POV. Oldelpaso 12:59, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Main derbies? 

message: There appears to be significant crossover between the articles Local derbies in the United Kingdom  and List of football (soccer) rivalries. Can these be merged or somehow restructured to prevent duplication? --Jameboy 11:10, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Duplication 

message: How is Luton Town v's Stockport County a Derby? Clyde1998 15:22, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It appears to be because they are both nicknamed "The Hatters" hence the "Hatters Derby". It should be deleted IMO as it is a bit of a ridiculous reason. Grievous Angel (talk) 20:58, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Luton Town v's Stockport County 

message: I think that the statement in the section lead says it all ("roughly in order of importance/hype placed upon each fixture"). At best the order of this list is WP:OR, but it's probably WP:POV too. Surely a more sensible order (such as alphabetical) should be used? It could also be argued that the separation of these derbies from the "Other derbies" is POV too. Dan1980 (talk ♦ stalk) 20:08, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Indeed. Not sure how that one slipped through the net. Combine them, I say. - Dudesleeper /  Talk 22:57, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  POV order of "Main derbies" list 

message: its the biggest derby in world football why is it not here plus what about a section for scotland which also has other interesting derbies such as hibs hearts etc  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.13.137.175 (talk) 21:23, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: the old firm derby

message: I won't change anything until I've found the article that confirms this, but the West London Derby is a bit more complicated than just Chelsea v Fulham. Basically, Chelsea has been the biggest club in West London for quite some time, so the West London Derby could be said to be Chelsea v Fulham/QPR/Brentford, the three smaller clubs in the area, the derby being more important to the three latter clubs.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.67.180.192 (talk) 20:28, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: West London derby

message: Whoever claimed that 'Oldham v Leeds isn't a derby in any way, shape or form' needs to get their facts straight.  At just 25 miles apart (closer than Norwich - Ipswich and Manchester United - Leeds just for starters), it certainly qualifies as a derby match.  If you're saying that there is no rivalry then I have to disagree on that front too.  I'm pretty sure that it was a game of significance for both clubs in the 1980s and early 1990s, even if it was more on Oldham's side.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.129.116.57 (talk) 19:50, 10 July 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Someone on "Final Score" has just described Walsall v. Coventry as a 'derby' which I think is a bit tenuous.  Walsall v. Wolves, yes. Mr Larrington (talk) 16:22, 22 August 2015 (UTC)
thread_title: Roses derbies

message: Sorry, but it doesn't how often the press want to refer to it as such, but Plymouth Argyle vs Portsmouth is not a derby game by any stretch of the imagination.  Whether there is any genuine rivalry between the two clubs as major ports on the South Coast is another matter, and one that would need to be asked of supporters from either club.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.129.117.242 (talk) 23:39, 19 February 2016 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: Half the entries on this page seem to be of the order of any two teams from the same county, or vaguely near each other, being considered as a tangible "derby" or "rivalry" of any significance. The bar for inclusion is so staggeringly low as to make this page mostly meaningless.  A single source of a match report giving a single mention of something being a "derby" just doesn't seem good enough, given what's in here. It's often just a descriptor useful to prevent repetition in a written article. Ilikeeatingwaffles (talk) 14:32, 10 January 2018 (UTC)
