Excellent statement by Tranmere. 
https://www.tranmererovers.co.uk/news/2024/april/club-statement-fa-cup-replays/

If the PL don't want replays, perhaps they can agree to forfeit the right to progress in the competition if they don't win the tie. Win and you're through, lose or draw and the non-PL team progresses - if two PL teams play each other they can toss a coin for all I care.....(which is an appropriate method given that this decision has shown them to be a bunch of tossers)....

Football isn’t that straightforward though is it?
We couldn’t beat Peterborough, Oxford, Wigan and Charlton at home but we beat them all away.
Consequently, whilst I fear a draw, I don’t think there are any grounds to have “zero” confidence that we can beat them purely because we couldn’t beat them at home.

To be honest, I find these end of season games where nothing is at stake a little dull. 

How absolutely lovely.
I was fortunate enough to be named 'Supporter of the Year' back in 1978 when David Langan won 'Player of the Year'. It's still a great memory.

Straight from the horses/footballers mouths:
Wildsmith was asked about rumours of him leaving Derby. He has not yet been offered a new contract. 
Ebou and his missus are absolutely loving everything about Derby. He said there are several things that need to fall into place about signing but seemed positive. He is the loveliest down to earth person. Didn’t stop smiling all night. If we need to forcefully restrain him to keep him here count me in! He doesn’t mind the Ebou chant sounding like booing. 
Dwight Gayle is recovering well and hoping to be back next week.
Max Bird still very much focused on the next too games, despite moving on. 
Nathaniel Mendez-Laing smells very nice
 
 
 
 

Me giving Ryan Nyambe a bit of advice on how to handle those tricky wingers next season. 😂

What a brilliant night! Dan (B4) and Angie Vallance received the Alfreton supporters award.  I almost missed it as I was in the loo 😂 the glass award is lovely and will have pride of place in my parents house. The players looked visibly touched when it was announced Dan and Angie were being awarded posthumously. It was lovely to see so over 200 people there to celebrate DCFC and those who love the club. I had no idea what to expect but it was amazing. Lovely food and company. I had no idea the players and David Clowes would be there, so that was a lovely surprise. 

Personally I think a pitch invasion for reclaiming our normal place in the Championship would be a bit tinpot.
Letting the players celebrate together and then having a lap of honour is a far classier move than invading the pitch and swarming the players, including opposition players who are left in a pretty vulnerable position in the majority of these over-glorified pitch invasions.

By the time I have negotiated three flights of stairs, countless doors and stewards to get on the pitch to celebrate it will be August! Sod it! I may try .....or I may not!

Haha, i remember the sex shop next to the Ramtique on Ossie Road, many a young chap lingered outside nervously then shot into the Ramtique if they saw anyone looking at them!
 

Thank you for the gracious comments.  I'm a bit *ahem* tired and emotional - it's been a relatively long wait for us to get back in to the second tier.  I'm rooting for you to get over the line and other results this evening appear to have been in your favour.  Good luck and raising a glass to B4.

Well, just this once let's make it easy, eh? They've never done that for us before so let us have this one as a little treat.

Going to the game, then off to Gatwick at midnight, to get a plane to Milan at 6.55AM, please send we away a happy Ram, 3 points will make my holiday. 
Believe we will win, and hope that Bolton and Peterboro drop points, lets get PP rocked today, lets push the lads over the line,3 MASSIVE GAMES LEFT. I believe. Once A Ram Always A Ram. 

Surely him coming back to yours for the evening is dependent on Derby winning. Haven’t you made that clear?😀

It wasn’t a “chastening visit” to Wycombe, it was an improvement on last season when we lost, and a point closer to promotion.
Anyway, I came across the below on X today, said by a former Derby County legend who happened to be Bolton Wanderers manager at the time he said it. I completely subscribe to this philosophy, and I hope we can all embrace it for at least the last three games of this season. Too many of us seem to favour a “love the club, hate/slate the players and manger” kind of approach. That isn’t what we need. Let’s all be supporters as well as fans.

Are Leyton Orient fans orientalists by definition?

Derby 3 - 0 Orient    FRGS Adams
Pompey to get a point at Bolton and suddenly we are 4 points clear again.    Everybody needs to stay calm there are always twists and turns on the run in.
 
 
 

Couldn't find his way off the inner ring road.

This fella has us sussed, to be fair.

Strangely enough we have played Carlisle on the last day of a title winning season before… what days they were.
