Technically it Leyton Orient v Derby County but that’s just my OCD. I’m hoping for another win partly because I want the run to keep going and partly because I think @B4’s Sister is our lucky Oman.

VAR (and stupid interpretation of rules in general) rant
Gritstone Ram replied to TigerTedd's topic in Football Forum
Could this be classed as match fixing? Time added on 0-0. -
Good result. Good clap on 38 minutes. I sometimes have a feeling B4 is watching over these games. I mean how did that second goal go in? I think Derby need a guardian angel.

I think we’ll win this one 3-0. I will be clapping at 38 minutes.

What sad news. It has brought a lump to my throat when I read this. This lad was Derby through and through. He always brought a smile to my face when giving a rallying call and when he had felt hard done by at an away game and woe betide any opposition fan or steward upsetting him. I had a look back at the PM’s I have had from him. These probably best describe the person he was. One message during Covid asked if I was ok and he said maybe I can help you when he sensed I was feeling down. Another giving me some friendly advice on the new James Bound film and his last message regarding his arthritis and my missus’s hip replacement. I never met him although I saw him regularly at away matches giving his full support to Derby, however it felt like he was my friend.

Derby County Versus Barnsley - Match Day Thread - League 1
Gritstone Ram replied to S8TY's topic in Derby County Forum
It nearly smashed one of the floodlights. -
To sum it up today we let Crewe score two goals and we couldn’t score. The longer the game went on we were trying different ways of putting the ball in the box. It did pay off in the end but early on some of the balls into the box were woeful. Crewe just threw themselves in front of the ball. No possession but a couple of deadly finishes. Not sure what can be said about today because we had all the ball yet were lucky to get a draw. Had we put half our chances away we’d be skipping around singing zipady doo dah!!

2-0 v Forest is my standout memory from my youth. Back then the FA cup was more prestigious.

Derby County versus Northampton Town (H) Match Thread
Gritstone Ram replied to S8TY's topic in Derby County Forum
It makes a difference when the ref isn’t falling for these stupid dives etc that are going on. A good ref puts us on an even field. -
I would never criticise our owner. He saved us at the end of the day and no one should forget that.

SSteve Evans at it again ahead of Saturday
Gritstone Ram replied to Curtains's topic in Derby County Forum
I think he’ll be pleasantly surprised on Saturday. He will be able to have a player run around the back of a Derby defender at least two yards outside the box then run in the box and fall down. Phewwww! Stonewall penalty there. -
Derby County vs Exeter City (H) Match Thread
Gritstone Ram replied to Idiakez's topic in Derby County Forum
I think I’m use to better football than this. It seems to be fits and starts. It’s probably the level we’re at but I want better. -
The missus’s sister lives opposite the Birdcage on Derby Road. I reckon the water level came above her letter box. She hasn’t gone home yet. She couldn’t get back on Friday and there is no gas or electricity. I had a drive on to where B&Ms is and Next, Curry’s and Poundland are all devastated. The car park is just full of mud. However I’m not to bothered about the car park because they can put my £50 parking fine towards cleaning it up.

Derby v Shrewsbury (A) Match Thread
Gritstone Ram replied to Bwash_Ram's topic in Derby County Forum
I’m not 100% sure but I think you have to submit your pitch dimensions at the start of the season and you can’t change them after that. -
No trains from Matlock and the train to Birmingham was cancelled. My lad had a ticket but couldn’t get and it was too late to make alternative arrangements.
-
The really annoying thing is he should have been booked if not sent off for cheating and then we could have had the embarrassment of losing to 10 men.

Before he threw himself to the floor he was clearly outside the area to start with but he just saw he wasn’t going to make it to the ball and dived.
