Chellaston Ram

I’m sorry 

I’m stuck on 47 thanks to you lot taking up the allocations all the time 🤣

Maybe the rivalry is over. They have their obsessives of course, stuck in their tiny rooms - ooh Derby lost to Crewe. BTW whats the song that Everton always sing about knowing your history. But its very difficult to get excited about Forest these days. Mid-table in the league forever maybe. Going nowhere but at great expense. A squad full of foreign mercenaries who we don't even know and therefore can't yet despise. Still, if they're happy. Bless. We (and they) miss the times when it was a very local affair. We all miss the times when the passion was there, when players (and managers) crossed the divide for instance. I think they'll find they'll miss us much more than they think. At least it looks like they'll get their old rivalry with Leicester back next time. Good luck with that. Here's to meeting again someday.

If the current players can’t perform consistently then try a few of the academy lads , this can’t continue to go on

Until Forest finish higher than 8th in the PL and play entertaining football, they won’t have topped Derby’s high during my time following football. And until Derby lose 2-5 to Yeovil, or finish on less than 70 points in League One, then Derby won’t have hit the lows Forest have in my lifetime.  

I did say a while back I'd give him until Christmas. Scarily we're nearly there.
An inability to change tactics
An inability to play to our strengths
No trust in some of the youngsters
Looking like he's losing (lost) some of the dressing room
We're only as high up as we are due to the fact most other teams are absolute tripe. 
Not sure I want to wait until Christmas.

Out of both cups in the 1st round, with both games at home.  A new low in the history of DCFC. And people still stick up for this useless manager on here 
 

Oh my goodness, what a response!
Hello everyone, I’m Claire, Daniel’s (B4) sister. I am overwhelmed by your kind words, support, and the memories you have shared.  Thank you so much for the kindness and love you have all shown to Daniel over the years. My parents are working their way through all of the posts and will offer their own thanks in due course.
I wish I knew about the scraves, flanges and ballions before now. I wouldn’t have let Daniel live that down at home. This made my husband and I laugh this morning.
I will be wearing Daniel’s shirt and keeping his seat warm at the Bristol match. Really looking forward to hearing a big cheer and round of applause in the 38th minute, a goal at the time would be perfect!  Do please continue to share the picture with details of the applause. Let’s raise the roof for Daniel!!!
Thank you all again ❤️

A stranger we had yet to meet.
Our paths had never crossed.
And yet, it seems, we knew him well,
A dear friend we have lost.
A heart of gold, a Kindly soul,
A friendly word to each.
A clumsy gaff may oft appear,
But ne’er offence be reached.
A call to arms, a plea for fight,
A positive embrace.
Defiant stance, a pumping fist,
A smile on his face.
Hatred of pink, and all things red,
More strangers for him to meet.
“A sea of black and white” he’d call,
“Let’s all stand at our seat”!
A disregard for marriage,
for relationships of two,
“Never, ever” he would wail,
“That would never do”!
Yet he loved all, and we loved him.
His quirks always forgiven,
His stubbornness frustrated,
But missed, now he’s in Heaven.
The truest Ram, amongst us all,
Now gone for evermore.
For Daniel, for DCFC
Let’s all be more B4

PAUL WARNE - - - - YOUR FOOTBALL WAS GREAT!
It’s the best we’ve seen at Pride Park for some time. The Barnsley manager said that until the 3rd goal went in it was pretty even. I disagree. Apart from Wildsmith’s early save, they had hardly had a sniff - yet Derby were creating threats right through that first half. We weren’t dominant, but well in control.
Although it didn’t feel like it at times. James Collin’s yellow card was bought for a bus ticket. If their player hadn’t rolled around like someone had put a chainsaw through his stomach there wouldn’t have been a card. When Nelson was floored by a “stray elbow” - it wasn’t stray, it went exactly where it was meant to - there wasn’t even a free kick, and I felt that there would be yet another dodgy penalty decision against us, and that Barnsley would have the full 3 points in their swag bag.
But the decision went our way, and yes it was a clear shove in the back, leaving me thinking the ref was bound to try and even things up after we had scored. A few correct decisions would have evened things up our way, but then he’d look like a decent ref, so we can’t have that, can we? Cue their keeper being bundled into the net by his own defender - free kick to Barnsley, and so it continued.
Much of the success was down to Collins being in the area when the ball was played in there - who’d have thought it? He had a great game, and it was great that the fans were backing him from the start.
Our play was a great mix of closing down, proper football and playing it long, and we had a good tempo all along. And a tactical change in the second half saw Barkhuisen playing on the break and he broke free several times, including that miss! And I am sure that Barnsley simply hadn’t expected him to play the role and didn’t latch on to him. And it was great to here the fans backing him after that miss!
The second and third goals were almost identical, so had we found Barnsley’s soft underbelly and exploited it? If so, well done Mr Warne, you tactical genius! Along with him starting to play Wilson as a winger instead of a full back! And Sibley!!! An inch lower and that would have been a stunning goal. Only he would shoot from such an outrageous angle!
Did anyone have bad game? With 4 or 5 players up for MOM, I would say no, but shout outs to Cashin, Fozzy, NML and Wilson. Oh, and Collins!
The self-belief and authority with which we played today made me think of the Clough and Mackay teams from all those years ago. Long may it continue. Imagine where in the League we would be if we’d played like that more often, because it is what we have been capable of all along. Again - long may it continue!
And finally: in his RD interview Paul Warne told the players that he wanted maximum effort, with no-one pulling out of challenges because today we are remembering all those who gave their all for us. That statement alone deserved the win!

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.
 

Managers can accept strikers missing sitters and goalkeepers dropping howlers so they should accept referees make mistakes as well

If you are prepared to walk there is plenty of street parking. Last year I parked near Longport Railway Station.

Today sums up our season, lack of quality in the final third.

The worst memory was the semi final against Manure, losing Charlie George with a shoulder injury and yet another dodgy refereeing decision against us.

I agree I was brought up watching us in the 1970’ s and I am finding it hard to accept this situation at the moment 

Even if he gets us promoted I can’t see us staying up

I had doc martens and a silk scarf, those were the days 🤣
