But give him his dues, his spelling came on leaps and bounds over the past year or so.  There were times I even felt a little let down, as he lost quite a few of those fantastic "old classics"!

Hang on - looks like a fake account to me - we all know the correct spelling and it sure isn’t “flags” and “balloons”

Just to say, we will be clapping from 38.00 to 38.59 - this is technically the 39th minute but of course we all use the term to mean "on 38 minutes".
I'm going to take my scarf too and give it a good twirl for B4.
I think we'll be 3-0 up by then, anyway! 
#BeMoreB4

If we ever needed a rallying call………….from last April v Burton.
 
Well calling all derby fans to get really really really behind the lads we need get behind the lads lets have wall of noise and have sea of black and white let's have scafs flags and balloons let's cheer lads on into the play offs.

Until the last week it has been a long time since I had been at a Derby Match. My Dad has said I’ve probably seen some of the best football so far this season. So, this thread is starting with genuine positivity from me, as my brother Daniel (B4) would also have done. This match means so much more to the Beavis family than any result. We want everyone to wave their scraves and flanges (not literally, ladies 🙈) and raise the roof for both DCFC and Daniel. Please share the details of the applause far and wide. 
I’m reliably told I need to predict a 3-0 win to Derby. 
My dad, Andy and I, will be in the east stand, stairway 35. We’ll be having a drink before the match and at halftime. Please do come and say hello.

I don't that he's just watching, who else kept that ball out when it hit the inside of our post and I reckon that there was some supernatural help to allow NML's weak shot straight at the keeper and defender, to go straight through them and into the net.
Hopefully B4 is up there and able to influence our luck more than he ever could down here.
God bless him.

Something along the lines of the fan led applause being for Daniel Beavis, a true Rams fan both home and away etc.  I can't remember it all tbh but it was quite a touching eulogy.  Both the applause and comments by Dominic Dietrich came across well over the radio. 

Gotta admit I was listening intently to Radio Derby up here in North Yorkshire hoping to hear the applause in the 38th minute (it came across loud and proud).  I wasn't expecting the commentators to mention it, let alone talk about Daniel for as long as they did. 
B4 touched a lot of lives and trust he was happy with the recognition he got today as he looked down on us all going through the agony that is following The Rams.  I'm pretty sure he tied the defenders boots together for the first and willed the ball into the net for the second!
Its still sad to think we won't see anymore of his rousing posts on the forum.

It’s all for @B4ev6is today Derby County fans & players. Do it for Daniel. 🐏

I'd be keeping things simple with a chorus or two of, "One Daniel Beavis".
Seems an apt and fitting chant and I'd like to think B4 would absolutely love it.

I’ve just seen the news on Facebook. May I add my deepest condolences to B4’s family and friends. I’ve never met B4 (being from Australia and all) but I’ve always enjoyed his passion for, and loyalty to, the Rams.
Requiescat in pace, B4. A true Derby Ram, never to be forgotten.

This is my first post on this forum, but with Daniel’s passing I wanted to mark this wonderful man’s contribution to Rams and this forum. He was a truly inspiring gentleman who we should all learn from. His positivity was legendary as well his generosity and gentility. The last few years of aggressiveness between contributors has been depressing and B4’s positivity has shone out like a beacon to unite us all. 
 
over the years I have always enjoyed the cohort of writers on this forum who have  defended Daniel from the various idiots who have not understood his positive outlook on life. I am deeply sad that B4 is no longer with us. My heart goes out to his family, I can’t imagine what they are going through. The outburst of support on this forum is hopefully a consolation for the love that Rams fans had for him. I never met Daniel but his heart felt passion touched, me liked many on this forum. His passion during the darkest hours made me believe. The main part of his belief has left me believing that we are lucky with what we have, and we should support our club. Yes I know that there are issues with the management but we must remember that we were seven days from destruction. B4 would be reminding us now that we are lucky and to get behind the team rather than bickering. He was a wonderful man and I feel privileged to have shared his outlook on our great team. 
 
I know it sounds a bit unusual but I think we should celebrate B4 with a statue outside Pride Park. There are few truly great fans and Daniel is a great man to celebrate as a Rams fan. I hope we get promoted this year as a tribute to this wonderful man. RIP Daniel, and thanks for all your wonderful posts 

I have never posted on here despite joining the forum a few years ago, I do view it all the time though. I never met B4 (Daniel) but his passing really upset me on Saturday and I had to leave it until now to finally comment. The way he absolutely loved DCFC always shone through in his often rallying positive posts. I will be at the Bristol game and I will stand and applaud in memory of his all too short life. My condolences to his family and friends. RIP Daniel sleep well mate. 💔🐏

No we shall win
Be postive mate.

First and foremost, my thoughts are with Daniel's friends and family, I cannot imagine what they are going through right now.
I heard the news last night and it came as a huge shock, B4 as we knew him so fondly by will be a huge loss to the forum.
He was Mr Positivity, Derby County's biggest cheerleader, even during the bad times his positivity would shine through.
I know his Dad was at the game today with a scarf on his seat, whilst we haven't closed the gap on Portsmouth in Daniel's final rallying call on this forum, I'm sure he will be over the moon with the 3 goals and 3 points today.
DCFC Fans will be honouring Daniel in time to ensure he remains in our memories, we will also be contacting the club in due course to see what can be done during a game.
Suggestions are welcomed as we all come to terms with the loss.
Rest in peace Daniel. ❤️🐏

Oh f****** hell. Love the lad and I hope he knew we collectively loved him too.

I have some very sad news this evening.  Daniel (B4) died earlier this week. He was just 38.
As you know, he has been battling numerous health conditions for a long time, but always remained cheerful  and was the most loyal supporter of his beloved Rams, home and away.
He was at the match at Crewe and gave his full support as always. 
Daniel leaves behind a grieving dad, mum and sister. Our thoughts go out to them and we only hope they get a little comfort from knowing how well loved Daniel is by all who know him. 
Here are a couple of photos that his dad agreed could be shared. I'm sure many of you have others, as Daniel loved a selfie at the game.
David is hoping to arrange a more fitting tribute in time, but for now please raise a glass in his memory and a good Derby win today. I am sure that's what Daniel would have been doing tonight.
 

The 11 point record doesn't bother me. Any football fan you chat to will want to talk about it and listen to stories about it.
One fan I met couldn't believe that I had a season ticket and went to every game. He said after about 10 games he would have stopped going and probably never gone back the next season either.
Its a badge of honour for me among friends who support massive clubs and have seen them play maybe once or twice in the flesh that I kept going and still do.
Worst team in history? Yeah we were. The fans showed they were anything but and we should be eternally proud of that and own it as a club and a fan base.

Brings back many conversations I have had on here with people that would be happy to stay in the Championship and play fancy football.
I don't get that mentality personally, if you enter the top 6 are you then wanting to lose to drop out, or do you get off on the losing in the play offs, at Wembley, then celebrate in London after we're staying in the Championship?
As you say, ambition should always be to reach the very top, however unrealistic that may seem, otherwise as you say, why bother.

Rebuild the youth teams and have a path way to the first team. All of them following a system that allows for easy transition through the ranks.
Back in the championship with a progressive style of football that see’s us steadily improving year on year. 

Smart recruitment, buying players that suit the system, at the right age with potential for resale. 

Should we ever change manager, bring in one that suits the system we’re trying to apply rather than constantly rebuilding to suit the managers style.
