I'd not been in my NE corner seat for long.  (I moved from the rowdy SE corner, as it was time to calm down, and time to start taking my grandson along).

I'm pretty certain that technically, my seat was the other side of the stairs (literally, as I have an aisle seat) to the family stand, but don't quote me on it.  I'm also pretty certain it is now classed as being in the family area.  Not 100% sure!  ?‍♂️
...anyway... not been sat there long... I was with my young grandson, maybe 7 or 8.  The guy immediately in front was with a girl, maybe 10/11?
I don't recall the finer details, other than it being a Forest game (I think?), and things were hotting up on the pitch.  I let rip with multi-syllable expletives, at full volume.  The guy in front turned and asked me to tone down my language... in a perfectly polite and acceptable manner to anyone with even a modicum of decency.  I let rip again, this time directly at him.  Nothing personal, and no more expletives, but I do recall telling him to "get some passion", and questioned his allegiance to The Mighty Rams!  
We left it at that.  Not the most pleasant of atmospheres.
Half time came, and my inner decency got the better of me.  All became perfectly clear... And I didn't need anyone else to tell me... I was wrong in the first place, and I was wrong in my reaction to him.  Totally.  Out.  Of.  Order.
Upon my return to the seats, ready for the second half, I tapped him on the shoulder, (to which he turned around to face me), apologised like I have never apologised before (nor since!), took full responsibility for my inexcusable actions/words, and asked for his forgiveness, which he graciously obliged, and we ended with a handshake.
The following few seasons saw us greet each other before each and every game with a fist bump, a bit of chit chat, and plenty of mutual respect.  Even a couple of unexpected meetings out in civvy street were met with a smile, a handshake or thumbs up (distance dependent!), and usually a brief  "Eyup mate, how yer doin'?".
And we've man-hugged each other more than once, but for the record, that was solely in the immediate aftermath of a big Rams goal (Usually v Forest, or play off's etc).  Standard goals just got the standard fist-bump or high five!  We never became lovers nor nuffink!  
Anyway, this niceness lasted right up until the start of last season (or was it the one before?) when he didn't turn up, and I then found out he was doing a job he would not only love, but was perfectly made for... A DCFC Matchday Steward... somewhere in the East Stand, last time I spotted him from my seat.

If you're reading mate... "How yer doin"?  ??

Approach him and ask him nicely to keep the language clean as there are lots of kids around.
If he doesn't, tell him to eff off somewhere else the cnut.

A lot of finger pointing at the Lincoln time wasting which is normal because it’s frustrating - I remember Millwall often doing this so blatantly at least twice at Pride Park but Derby as a top side in this division need to find ways of getting through it and we obviously didn’t play very well. A lot of injury time too. Fair play to Lincoln, we have met them twice this season and failed to beat them. A lot of sour grapes- a point isn’t disastrous. There is poor officiating in this division but enough excuses - Derby just have to better than the opposition and not look slack. Top 2 are freakishly good and unlikely to be caught (nothing impossible though). Playoffs would be a good achievement this season.

Hoping for a repeat of the first meeting between us ??

If we win we will be on tractor overtake them.

For Derby of course. In place of Collins maybe gives Knight more freedom to roam into the advanced positions. 

Goodness knows who Google think we've been signed 

Be nice if some on here could resist the urge to rubbish the teams we beat and just give credit where it's due. Yes we battered them today but that doesn't make them rubbish. Same posters who refused to acknowledge the gulf between us and a team two leagues above us last week too. This huge gulf wasn't evident a couple of months back when they held us to a draw at their place. They lost by the odd goal against Ipswich and were only beaten 2-0 away to the Wendies too. Not sure many were predicting 5-0 at halftime.

We’re out of thunderbirds! 

4-0 to us.

Thought Forest looked good last night - they really suited the yellow shirts!

Yes will be interested to see if other clubs take unilateral action now that Wycombe and Boro have set a precedent in law. This for me was the shameful part of the entire story, in that the EFL facilitated it.

Exactly one year ago I and 1000s of fellow Rams fans were marching towards what we thought was possibly Derby's last game EVER. I don't think the magnitude of that word 'ever' really sunk in to most of us. But what a game we saw and the finale of Bielik's goal I will never forget. Mr Clowes I will be ever grateful for you saving this fantastic club of ours. Tonight we are on tv, we can do this. Chelsea at the baseball ground in 1968? Could that atmosphere be replicated? I bloody hope so. UTR!
