He was touched by the phoenix that is Derby County. THE RAMS ARE ON THEIR WAY BACK WHERE THEY BELONG!

Just seen on twitter, apparently he ran on the pitch from the dugout!

Like all the other Rams fans!

Not to be that guy but the pitch invasion was a disgrace. There were still two minutes of play left.

Why was there such a clamour to do one? Mainly by 19 year old virgins who thought it was cool. 

Nobheads on the pitch even before that.

Kind of you to be so respectful.

 

To be fair to @Mucker1884 B4 was and still is one of the most important members on this forum. You've been on here for over two years and yet don't know who he is? This entire thread has been pinned at the top of this section since his sad passing. Even the club have acknowledged what he meant to them. On what should be their biggest day for decades they remembered him. Yet you can only ask "who's B4?"

Enjoy it.  Savour it.  Share it.

Let him stand. It's been so long since he could stand, jump around and do the bounce without being in pain. He deserves his moment of happiness, and this time although he won't be with the people he loves (not in body, but definitely in mind) he will be celebrating with Brian and Peter, with Steve Bloomer, Reg Harrison...... and he will be just as infectious with them as he was (and still is) with us.

I spotted that too.

I took it (pure guess) to mean all bets stand at that time, as opposed to it relating directly to the match/kick off time.

The league positions aren't gonna change between final whistle on Saturday to Sunday noon.

 

 

PS:  Yes... kick off is 12:30 Saturday... BST!  👍

Oooooh, so if the odds are still the same we'll know whether to bet or not

Each to their own but if we somehow manage to do a Derby and snatch defeat from the jaws of victory once again, £500 will somewhat cushion the blow.

Can someone please confirm when we play? It's not the first time that I've seen Sunday!

There’s been no official word on ramstv yet, the article (see below) announcing the sky coverage says;

“Details relating to RamsTV streaming will be communicated to supporters in advance of the game.”

 

That was 2 days ago so it’s a case of wait and see at the moment, if I was to hazard a guess I’d say ramstv coverage will be available outside the UK. 

If RamsTV isn't available outside the UK then I'll be more than furious!

As I woke up tired, hungover and jet lagged this morning, I had a thought. While it's always great hearing stories about the glory days of the 70s, the iconic 80s and the fun 90s, there's a whole generation of Derby fans who have only ever known disappointment. I myself had my first season ticket in the 2006/07 Billy Davies season, but I was far too young to appreciate it.

Since then, it's been a mix of hope, heartbreak and 'nearly' moments. Our generation of supporters have witnessed other clubs' fans celebrating siuccess (sometimes at our expense), but we find it difficult to fathom what it would actually feel like for Derby to ever get over the line.

Yesterday, as I walked back back to the bus with my arm round my mate's shoulder, belting Derby songs at the top of our voices, I had the first taste of what it might feel like to experience success as a Derby fan. This morning, I started making preparations for post-game jaegerbombs and cigars next weekend. And thinking about how I'll be raising a glass to the lad that we all miss so much. 

We're not over the line yet. But I'm well into dreaming territory. And for us fans who aren't old enough to know glory, it's going to be oh so sweet.

Up the Rams.

Enjoy it my friend and for those who try to spoil it for you with the , it’s league 1 , it’s a worse league one than last year , our football is poo , our manager is poo , we will get battered next season ect ect ect ,,, tell them to do one ,,,,,,,

I’ve seen us be champions of England twice and every ap and down since ,,, this season is right up there for success and enjoyment , barring a crazy scenario we should be up automatically, two seasons from our darkest moments , that’s quality and to be savoured and remembered , a certain friend of ours couldn’t be with us in person for the end to this season and it’s worth those who can’t enjoy and praise what’s happening at derby taking stock of that ,

football is all about stories and mixed in with real life , these last few years are turning into a great story with everything in it ,

enjoy , but you don’t need me to tell you that , you were outside the ground without a ticket , been there , done that , respect 🐏🐏🐏🐏🐏🐏🐏🐏🐏

Spot on angie , im getting to that age too ,where if you peg it people say a bit young but no massive surprise, live it and enjoy the good stuff ,,,, 90 mins every week where I feel alive ,excited, euphoric, gutted and happy to be sat next to my lovely wife having a lovely day away from work and stress

Fantastic posts. @Archied really got me thinking. Football fandom is a very social thing. I try not to miss a single game, but celebrating goals and victories or suffering losses on my own just isn't the same. Fortunately a couple of friends texted me last week to say that they were coming to my home next  Saturday to watch the game with me and help me celebrate. At first I thought "well, ok", but now I'm really excited about it. Having friends with me (I'll also be thinking about my dad who left us two years ago) will make it so much sweeter. @B4’s Sister, I'm sure you and your family will shed a few tears at the final whistle knowing how your brother would be feeling. Let it all out, he deserves it.

And please, please, please Derby, don't 🦆 it up.

Paul Warne barring a complete disaster has done his job, fair play to him and Clowes got it bang right 👌 but this is not the football I wanna watch week in week out, great that Warne has done his job and taken us up but sorry that’s not for me next year 😢

Lose Warne or lose you ,,,,,,, erm it’s a tough one 😂😂

I gave @Archied a clap for his response, but I seriously would not want to turn fans away for expressing their opinions. However if your real intention is to not go next year (you pays your money, you gets to choose how) then I would applaud that more than going to the games and booing from start to finish.

I'll be making my usual match day trip to the stadium, via RamsTV here in Spain.

Dad (the worlds worst DIYer) knocked-up a wooden stool for me to stand on.

It had enough six-inch nails in it to hold the mast on the Cutty Sark.

My dad, who was a wood machinist in his early working life, made me a seat that slotted into the wall at head height in the old stand before they built the Ley Stand. Bloody Brian Clough bringing success soon buggered that up!

Naturally. But meeting a short term goal isn't the be all and end all. 

But surely you need to meet the short term goals to be able to meet the longer term ones? 🤔

I am 100% certain that had we not been in administration, had we not been being "run" by a group of men who knew nothing about actual football rules, had we not been threatened by a curly haired 🦨 and an 🚑🏃🏼‍♂️with claims for compensation that had no validity........, then we would have fought tooth and nail to be cleared of all points deductions and our good name restored.

Well , that last phrase is possibly stretching it a bit.
