Watching this club for over 50 years, the thing that will stay with me forever from today was the performances of the academy lads.  Birdy, Cash, Sibbo and Thommo were immense today. Wherever their careers take them in the future they will always be remembered in Derby for their performances today and this season.

I'm unsure as to whether this is serious or a parody? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

This made me smile 😂

0-0

Just to take it to the last game of the season.

It's the Derby Way

The animated one for Thatcher's cider where they reckon the boss man tastes the ghastly stuff every Friday at 12:30 to make sure it's good enough to be sold. Every Friday? even Bank Holidays and Christmas? If that was the case surely he'd have a nose like Karl Malden?

4 points is a politically expedient punishment for the EPL to hand out. If it had been 6 points or more then Forest would have undoubtedly fought it and the whole saga would have dragged on towards the end of the season which is not in the EPL's best interests. 4 points gives the teams around/below Forest a chance (albeit a slight one given their current form and remaining fixtures) of finishing above Forest. Should one or more of those teams go on a great run and finish above Forest buy a comfortable margin, then should Forest subsequently complain the EPL can say that they should have appealed the original 4 point deduction at the time. Should one or more of those teams finish above Forest by only one/two points or on goal difference then the EPL have the option of reducing the original 4 point deduction to 2 points thus avoiding further appeals/legal action from Forest and also closing the door on any club relegated instead.

IMO overcrowded trains are more of a issue than cost. If East Midlands Railway spent less money on their stupid TV adverts featuring that annoying purple t**t "Miles" and more on putting on extra carriages on their Saturday services it would be a start 😡

Off to Pet Needs new album launch gig at the Rescue Rooms, Notts this evening.

Does this managerial move mean that European qualification is back on? Asking for a delusional Greek chap 😀

Bar Stool Preachers at Leicester O2 Acadamy tonight will be probably my final gig of 2023 as Orient away has put paid to seeing Gogol Bordello at Rock City tomorrow.

Having won there last season and knowing how consistently inconsistent Derby are I'm going for 1-1 tonight. RGS Collins

Going to the pub on the way home from Nottingham station for a couple of celebratory pints whilst watching the dejected Forest fans reflecting on their latest defeat.

Just the two gigs this week.

Saturday - Headsticks: Rough Trade, Nottingham

Sunday - Unknown Era (Fundraiser and Memorial gig for Darren Blair): The Old Cold Store, Nottingham

Like so many casual users of this forum, I always looked out for B4’s posts.  Apologies if it’s been said already, but my favourite was his regular call for us to bring “scraves and flanges”.  I hope that’s part of the plan for the Bristol game.  

That was my favourite as well, but don't forget the ballions, B4 was very passionate about the ballions (black and white ones obviously, never, ever any pink ones)

Such very sad news.

I never met B4 however his unbounded enthusiasm, passion and loyalty to the club was a inspiration to so many Rams fans, even an old cynic like me.

Rest easy B4.

Tickets sorted today for next year’s Beautiful Days 😀

Team full of cowards, nobody willing to put themselves on the line for the club. 😡

Busy week coming up

Wednesday - Funke & The Two Tone Baby: Yellow Arch Studios, Sheffield

Thursday - Black Water County: Rescue Rooms, Nottingham

Friday - Holy Moly & The Crackers: Metronome, Nottingham

Saturday - Jake Martin: Rough Trade, Nottingham

Short term: Win at Shrewsbury.

5 years: Back in the Premier League.

10 years (or at least whilst I'm still alive): Win the FA Cup.

Long term: Win the Champions League (at least twice, preferably in successive seasons, and against worthy opposition).

The media groups in Uk who have biggest influence are BbC and Rupert Murdoch. Neither are Jewish. 
 

So “literally all owned by Israel” isn’t a creation/ embellishment/ exaggeration on your part to create rage? 

Technically Rupert Murdoch is Jewish as the Code of Jewish Law clearly states that a child of a Jewish mother is Jewish, regardless of the father's lineage, while the child of a non-Jewish mother is not Jewish. It's amazing what you learn being married into a family of German Jewish Holocaust survivors. I'm following this thread with a mixture of interest, exasperation (at times), sadness and resignation. I don't think I'll be showing it to Mrs NG2Ram though.

The King, Kevin's goals would have us out of this league at the first time of asking.

Is it nice?

What sort of strength, flavour etc?

I've just pick one up on the way home from work, the strengths range from 5.4% to 6.3%. I'm familiar with the beers included  from Schneider and HB Munchen, however the other 8 breweries are all new to me. It's nice to see that they've included a couple of marzens and a weissebier alongside the usual helles biers.

Not tasted any of them yet as they need chilling first.

1 - 3 (FRGS none of either Collins, Waghorn or Hourihane).

I'm quietly confident ahead of this game. Our performances in the last 3 league games at the Pirelli have been bobbins, so the law of averages suggest the we will turn in a good performance on Saturday.

Please no, a player whose second touch is invariably a tackle is not the calibre of player we need at the current time no matter how desperate we are.
