To be fair Cathy’s Clown is a great song

I keep thinking we should be able to do something with ‘Send in the Clowes’, or ‘Tears of the Clowes’ or perhaps ‘Derby’s Clowes’ (to Cathy’s Clown).
If you’re young ask your parents.
Or grandparents.

Ugly, untidy, but better than nothing.
Coincidentally, my wife’s description of me.
 

It’s Daniel’s birthday tomorrow. I will be buying a cake later. Dan loved cake. Even though he isn’t here, there should always be cake on birthdays. I wanted to do something to mark Dan’s birthday and wondered if we could give the RSPCA a birthday boost? I wouldn’t expect people to give much as so much money was raised already.  Just £1 from a handful of us would help towards costs. What do you think?

Great memories of the team playing in Puma kits.
However the quality of those shirts were awful, more pulls and ladders than a lady of the nights stockings.
I hated the black collar which turned grey after a couple of washes and said D rb  ou ty on the back as the writing fell off.
I also hated the yellow accent colour, how it was installed as the seat colour on the top and bottom rows at Pride Park.
I also hated the scarf under the Ram and it being trapped in the diamond.
I hated the fuzzy feel that attracted all kinds of fluff on the badge and puma sponsor which made it look dirty.
Most of all I hated and still hate that maroon kit which so many appear to love, every time I see it makes me ill in the eyes.
Saying that, some of the modern funky training gear they’ve done for Arsenal in particular and Man City has been alright. 
Great memories though like I say, although I’ll be sad to see Umbro go, they have created some of the best designed kits around for us. 

Just please don’t turn the ram into part of a sewn on badge again.

I don’t think anyone would be happy staying the night in Northampton tbf.

Could you not have given us more than the 10 mins of additional time? Maybe till we scored?

The ref?

Erin cashins massive , he s hung like steptoe s horse 
he flashes it at training and never feels remorse
he goes up for our corners and never fails to score
And when’s he runs the channels it’s dragging on the floor
ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh 
erin cash,,,,,,,,,,..,.

Oh no. We’ll be back on the blue shorts campaign again before you know it. 😀

Always prefer Umbro, as they made the kits we won the league in twice.

It's ok. We'll wait for you and discuss it when you get back.

Of course he has.
Everyday, when he looks in the mirror it’s there, as always, on his forehead.

Just to make a small defence of Paul Warne, for years we've had managers who, regardless of the opposition, refused to budge on their playing principals. The complaint for a long time has been, "we don't have a plan B"! 
Well these days he changes formations, personal, and tactics within the games, to suit what is happening at the time, yet he is still criticised for his lack of tactical awareness. 
Another criticism of him is his poor substitutions, but it seems to me that over the course of this season, his substitutions have won us quite a few points.
I get that you either like the bloke or don't, and there will always be some valid points to use against him, but some of the criticism of him seems baseless if you look at the facts in my opinion.

Thank you again everybody for talking about Daniel and feeling the gap he’s left. I’m feeling the loss tonight. Still don’t think it’s hit me fully yet. 
But if you have read a previous post by me, I told you about how I wound up Daniel making out he loved turtles. I tried to put a small plastic turtle on his seat at the Shrewsbury match. Unfortunately the packaging ripped and I sent 20 plastic turtles flying over the east stand 😂 Also hurt my ankle again climbing over three rows of seats to pick them up 🐢 

This is what Daniel would have thought to the match ♥️

Lot of posters saying how happy he is. You would be too if you had left behind both war torn Gambia, and Cardiff.

I love you,  all Derby fans. I love the community we have here; I love the knowledge we share, the diverse viewpoints. I grew up in the 1970s and all we had was the newspapers. I love the experience we all have. I stood at Wigan yesterday with my 2 sons and shivered with pride at “We’re on our way..”….belted out …4,000 simultaneous voices. Thatcher tried to destroy the collective voice, society, but football is where it still exists. I may have the drink taken but feel I needed to express the sense of pride I experience whenever we travel & represent Derby. It’s special. Keep it up.
