I'd put good money on him still being a Derby player next season, regardless of what league we're in.

Gayle Michail Antonio-d that one in!

He isn’t the player he once was, he remained on his feet for the majority of game, sad to see his demise 😂

Pretty anonymous apart from a couple of deft touches. Took his foot off the Gas just for us. Apparently had a Derby shirt on under his Brizzle shirt. Once a Ram.......

How did Chris Martin play? 🥺

My dad finally lost his battle this morning at the ridiculous age of 64.
Over the past month or so, he got stuck in a cycle of having excess fluid drained, the fluid coming back, being drained again, etc. The fluid eventually got into his lungs and, on top of that, he had the cancer in the background (which they couldn't directly treat because of all of the draining), and a skin infection that eventually led to sepsis. It was just too many issues for him to fight, even though he gave it a damn good go.
He deteriorated rapidly last night to the point of being very agitated and delirious, and I got a call from the nurses to come in at 3am. I knew it was the beginning of the end then, and the decision was made to withdraw treatment at about 11am. He went very peacefully within the hour.
Part of me wants to carry on like normal - go to the match tomorrow and have a few drinks after - but the healthiest decision is probably to skip it and have a bit of alone time to process it all.
I echo the last sentence of my previous post too - f*** cancer.

I don't understand how his personality can be so effervescent and outgoing, and then his style of football just.. isn't.
I know they're not mutually exclusive, but it's weird how polar opposite they are.

I think RamsTV are okay for a commentator.

Confirms it was Harry Leonard who we were about to sign, before Blackburn's boss pulled the plug.

Good man. But just spill your guts on here if you need to. Same goes to @Scott129
It's anonymous here so that can make it easier. It doesn't have to make sense or be justified. You're not going to be judged or (the worst bit) have people run away because they suddenly see you as bit of a drag. 
So I'd say just use this space as a dumping ground for those thoughts that rattle around your head doing damage. People often can relate. Might even help someone reading.

Out of contract in the summer too. Sad to think that we *may* have seen the last of Collins in a Derby shirt.
On the flip side, imagine if he came back for the last few games, scoring the goal(s) to seal our promotion 😍

Oh yeah - didn't even twig that!
And guess who's not been in the squad in the four games since the window closed.

So it wasn’t the player that ended up going to Stoke 😉

His energy is infectious. I imagine it's the same on the pitch too.

And we love him

I'd be surprised if he went anywhere else in League One.
Guaranteed starter in a winning side for at least the next 3 or 4 weeks, with good odds for another promotion on his CV. And I bet we can pay him a good wage too.
Who else would be more attractive at this moment in time?
