Gap tooth ram

I'm sponsoring/hosting a Ukrainian refugee family through the Homes For Ukraine scheme.  33 year old Mum, 9 year old daughter and 5 year old son.  Been here 3 weeks now and settling in well.  It's exhausting but fulfilling. The stories they tell of their experiences bring tears to my eyes even as I type this.
Wondered if anyone had a spare Rams shirt for the kids, that they're prepared to let go?  Think there's a chance of them becoming lifelong fans.
I'm prepared to pay obviously, but a suitable donation from me to a Ukrainian charity instead might be a nice way forward.
Let me know what you've got!
Thanks

Fixtures out on 23rd, player(s) back training in two weeks time, 5 contracted players and a load of under 23s. No sign of a breakthrough is it time for a show of solidarity again and quickly!!!!!!?

Look we the fans we once again going to have to protect a club once more we protect it last season and it seems clear to me we are going have to do it again. I think time to march once more we need up the antie this time we had over 10k well this it got to be over 20k doing.it and this time we let Q know we had enough of this we demand they do a bloody deal with ashley or ex wolves owner but enough is enough.

Thank you 
 

Love you Derby ❤❤

I’m not so sure. By all means report doubts from sources, or disturbing rumours but the wording is inflammatory and typical of Ed. It’s shock horror attention grabbing. I respect his fan like enthusiasm and knowledge of the club, but I have never liked his tone and delivery. It’s always seemed to me to be bratty and sensationalised. 
 
god this is torture

A good effort. Taking pace off the ball won it for them but to get over 200 chasing is no disgrace at all. 

Drivers that are not paying attention on the road.
My Mum had just left her house in Stapleford last night, bringing my dog back having looked after him whilst we were away.
Less than 15 minutes into her journey, down the A52 traffic on the inside lane onto the M1 was slowing down, my mum slowed with the traffic in front of her down to no more than 10mph, is smashed from behind into a spin that took her into the next lane, then hit again head on and sent back into the left lane by another car.

Thankfully both Mum and dog are fine and uninjured, a little stiff this morning and marks on her from the seatbelt, it’s not lost on us how lucky they both were.
My dog has his own seatbelt which probably saved his life, when the emergency services were collecting their stuff out the car, they had to retrieve his bag from maybe 20-30ft down the duel carriage way.
Could easily have been him. So many have dogs loose in the car, let this be a warning, a £10 belt that clipped on to his harness possibly saved his life. You can be the safest driver on the road, yet you cannot control what other cars are doing.
Whilst waiting for emergency services as she was trapped inside, car door hinges were buckled, my mum asked the young driver why he didn’t stop, his reply was “I couldn’t”.
Now unless he had a break failure, I can only assume he was distracted by a mobile phone, car radio or something as to put a car into a spin and causing that much damage at low speeds, he clearly was not paying attention and reacting to what was happening in front of him .
Witnesses have collaborated my mums version of events, fully injured, gap insurance the lot so financially she will be fine. Mentally though, not so much, doesn’t want to get behind the wheel again, shook her right up.
Not sure what’s happened to him, but surely a case of driving without due care and attention.

ROFL! #COYR
 

Deal done according to the press

That's right... 12:30 Kick Off.
Having started my matchday thread career with a 1-0 defeat in the reverse of this fixture a couple of months ago, it'll be great to end the season with a two game winning streak, so do me proud, you big beautiful Rams, as you did so majestically at Blackpool! ?
Big day all round, for this one...
A not-so-fond-farewell to the Championship... close on 30k in the stadium... Quite possibly jumping around, despite going down... and sombreros galore, as we rightfully pay homage to the Div. 1 Champions of 1971/72... now 5 decades on, but never to be forgotten.  
Those particular heroes will of course be parading on the pitch, and we owe it to them, and the club, to arrive extra early.  This is not a time for apathy.  These Guys ARE Derby County History!  Let's be there for them, as they were for us!
Make it loud.  Make it proud.  Make it memorable... and then repeat for our present day heroes.  Two celebrations in one?  What a club! ?
May The Championship weep in our absence!  
 
Oh yeah... something, something football too... something team selection, something tic-tacs, something, something whatever, etc, etc.

F#CK THE EFL, DERBY & BLACKPOOL FANS CHANT TOGETHER TO SHOW WHAT FOOTBALL MEANS TO FANS  PLEASE SHARE
Hi everyone,
Blackpool fan here in peace and respect many of you will probably already have seen my video already but if you haven't I hope you do watch it.
You guys were absolutely unbelievable on Saturday and it was emotional to see you the true fans who partied and sang no matter what after all you have been through this season it was heartbreaking and uplifting in equal measure.
Even though we wanted to win to stay above Preston not one Blackpool fan would deny you the WIN. Absolutely amazing support it was a very special day
I think this is the most important video that I have ever made. Blackpool fans suffered for years at the hands of disgraceful owners and the EFL stood by and did absolutely nothing! Derby County fans came to Blackpool and stood side by side with Blackpool fans durung their prematch demonstration against the disgraced Oyston Family who were found guilty of misappropriating the clubs funds and forced to pay around £34M to minority shareholder Valeri Belokon.
Blackpool fans have never forgotten what Derby fans did and yesterday was our chance to show our support for the way Derby County fans have been treated this season. Derby came to Blackpool to party and we joined in. 
This was a game that was bigger than football it was a statement to say Football without it's fans is nothing, the EFL fit and proper person test is a disgrace they approve these rogue owners and when they go rogue they punish the fans with points deductions the whole thing is wrong!
My hope is that this video gets shared to as many football fans as possible, doesn't matter which club, doesn't matter where in the world, just show it and let's make the people that run football realise that FOOTBALL WITHOUT FANS IS NOTHING
#ONEFOOTBALLFAMILY
Please feel free to share this and help me get this message out and let people see what Derby County means to you the fans your football world has been torn apart this season and did any of you do anything wrong? No you support your club just like every other true fan and you get punished because of the EFL approving an owner that has ruined everything for you! It's WRONG!!
Who knows which set of fans will suffer next?

Million Dollar Baby.
This is one of the best films I've ever seen (in my opinion).
No surprise that Hilary Swank, Morgan Freeman and Clint Eastwood picked up Oscars for this splendid film.

Mel, is that you?

Not a good idea. Sit in the north east corner, have done since pp opened and so do a lot round us. When fans have sat in the same seat for years it becomes your football family.

Masood is a different gravy.
He has so much time to play his shots. You can see him waiting for a slight indiscretion in line or length and bang its four 
This should be a good summer

There are fashionable counties, unfashionable counties and Derbyshire.

I think that was on your Swingers forum. We call it unclean genitalia down here in the south but we are more gentrified. 

My friend has not long left of his life, He has terminal cancer and has maybe only weeks to live.  He had his first season ticket when he came out of the army in the mid fifties, and has had it every season since, and then when he married in 1963 his wife had one too, they never missed a home match, but then covid came along and they have not been again. We have a mutual friend who lives in the USA he is in the UK this week end and is taking my friend to what is likely to be his last match ever. I'm just hoping if there are any protests it wont affect the match. So please spare a thought or a prayer if your so minded on Saturday. I wont say his name as he hated social media as much as he loved the Rams. So UP THE RAMS  P will be thinking of you.  

Let's again try to summarise our position only this time using visual metaphors . The first one depicts where we are right now.
Imagine all the 'good guys' are pulling on the lead and that the dog represents all of the current potential buyers...
 

 
For clarity, here's the same metaphor would look like if the buyers could actually
see some value in the deal and were keen to buy at the prices being quoted...
 

 
And to fix this problem, here's the erstwhile admins trying to persuade Morris (the dog in this case)
to drop the stadium cost and make all these problems go away forever...
 

 
Meanwhile, here's what we're all doing....
 

 
Hope this helps! x

Parker v Andrade has been announced for May 21st at Pride Park.

David, this forum as been good for a lot of people through covid and the nightmare the club is in, and yes you must have rules to combat the keyboard warriors! and there is no excuse for abusive, threats and bad manners.
JEALOUSY of someone else, who as put himself or herself in a position of work and providing a service for others should be applauded and if the occasional benefit comes along then good for them.
David, you should not have to defend yourself, just delete their messages and treat them with the contempt they deserve, far more good people than bad on the forum. Keep up the good work for the forum.

Ignore it buddy, even though I know it's hard for you sometimes. Those who know you also know you're worth 20 of these ignorant duckers.

There really are axxholes around,, it’s no fault of yours ,if you were a big nasty bugger it’s odds on he wouldn’t have said a word but who wants to be a nasty bugger ,don’t give him another thought and just carry on being who you are??‍♂️
