Hi started this for @JakeDCFC to stop him challenging @B4ev6is for the most threads created! And also for myself in case I've missed any. Need to go to work so no time to post any suggestions now though! What dcfc related books would you recommend for our new friend?

I am indeed a reader! What would you recommend I title the thread as? And wait why did it make you miserable? hahaha

Re Wanchope - our beloved manager often signed players in pairs so that squad had two costa ricans him and Solis, two croatians (asanovic and the god stimac) and two italians (baiano and eranio).  Are you a reader? If so forum posters can probably recommend a few books also and could start a thread. 

Also it may not be the effect you were after but reading your match report and the players mentioned on a Monday morning before work has actually made me quite miserable!!! Sorry!

Think this is duplicated  elsewhere Jake hence few replies. I’m not from Derby either so any thread I started got short shrift 

Here are a couple of YouTube videos that I created recently with some appropriate 70's music included
I have over 750 DCFC videos on my channel now & i've put a few more on over the weekend - from the late 70's & early 80's
 
 

The very first edition of the Ram newspaper for the Man United game, inside it is the full story of how and where our world famous Ram was born ! The little fella is 50 years old now but still looking great !

I was 18 years old in 1970, football mad and went to every home game, and many away matches, which were great days out, usually on the train.
Six of us from Allestree FC went to Newquay in 1970, which was just brilliant - sun, sand, surfing and girls - what a time to be alive, but we all came back on the Friday evening to ensure we got to the Rams vs Man. Utd Watney Cup Final, at the BBG, which we won 4-0.
Memories which cannot be taken back - wonderful days

Get rid of Premier League U21 teams.
Make it a knockout competition.
Bring in the Championship clubs after Round 1.
There you go, something that would be far more interesting than the current format.
Or just scrap it and kick Premier League clubs out of the League Cup which would in turn make the FA Cup even more special.

It is an interesting idea.
Funnily enough, Sky Sports are also showing the Man Utd v Derby match in full on 30/06/23 at 15.30 pm (UK Time).

A few minutes of a game I loved 
Think it was against wigan at home in 14/15 season. Miserable weather. Absolutely sodding freezing.
Wigan get a peno
Butland...SAVES!!!! straight up the other end, bang one in. Stadium erupts, up 1 nil before half time. Lovely stuff. Eustace as well. 
The game our Johnny wiped out Rosler as well on the touchline 
We lost 2-1. God I love football 😂

Original post was essentially me asking if this is something others on the forum would be interested in participating in or general interest in the idea haha

Was planning on watching one tomorrow, or I guess today now lol, it's 4 am over here and was a bit busy yesterday! Thinking the 3-2 win over Man U in 97 

Is the idea to have a synchronized watching?
So everyone watches the same recording of a game at the same time and discuss it in "real time", maybe on a parallel zoom call?

I am reading Greavsie. Jimmy's autobiography.  Our  5-0 thrashing of Spurs gets a mention, also  Cloughies attempt to sign him when MacKay was here.
 
That was a night to remember.

My ‘Greatest’ games were 3-2 victory at Old Trafford. Paulo Wanchope 😍
And 6-0 Man City at BBG. Not quite Seventh heaven but six was rather wonderful. 
I was at both. 

The ‘Greatest’ on tv was the 4-2 PO victory at Elland Road. I can watch that again and again. 

Had this idea since I have watched a couple of the classic matches that were recommended to me in one of my earlier threads. As I was watching I was thinking, "man, it would be nice to be able to talk about these games/ask questions about some of the players or the season itself" and I thought why not make posts about each game as I watch them and have discussions with some of you about them. Essentially like "live tweeting" a game except all of these games already happened haha. I think I'll make a post with all my notes/questions/thoughts under this thread for each game I watch and then let the discussion ensue. From my short time on this forum I have interacted with tons of fans who have watched Derby through many different eras and I felt this would be a cool idea to discuss the club through many points in it's history, relive memories, and generate great conversations. Let me know your guys' thoughts!

I've converted to the church of Big Trav.
Call me a Travestite.

Wouldn't see me complain that's for sure

1972?

The home shirt was rubbish, but fair play to Umbro for giving us something bespoke at the last second. Quality wise, theyre no worse than most these days. Plus the black and green kit was class.

That blue kit is actually really nice, would like something similar for our away kit this season. It's got a bit of an mid 90s vibe to it. 
 
Our 1989 blue chequered squares away kit is still my favourite. 😍 

Would be great to have a good start and see us top of the League. Half the team will be new players and it won’t all revolve around McGoldrick. Time for Collins to step up ?

Umbro doing some interesting things this year, particularly like this effort for Carlisle
