Premier ram

Absolutely - he saved us. Since 2022 he has never sought the limelight, he has just got on with the job - and we are back!!!!

My grandson is doing it, so proud.

Love this; underpass is part of my route to Pride Park. Hope it doesn’t get vandalised. We need more of this sort of street art. 

That game was the first huge target my dad gave himself the morning after the stroke. His recovery in 7 weeks has been incredible!
He may not have been able to clap, or bounce to prove he’s not a Red (but take our word for it, he isn’t), but with my help and with assistance from a steward, he was able to invade the pitch…
The short walk to the stadium was the limit of what he could do. Another enormous thank you to the absolute gent that is @ram59, and his mate Paul, without whom we simply wouldn’t have been able to make it.
UTR!!

Bye Max, all the best lad, you did us proud at the end and throughout your Derby career.
Sad to see you in Robins shirt but all good things come to an end, but so good your career with us ends with a defining moment, on your 200th appearance and final game.
Fitting end, once a Ram 🐏 

Dan might not have been everyone’s cup of tea, none of us are, but he was harmless. He just didn’t understand some boundaries or points of views as most of us would. Several people have messaged me to acknowledge they weren’t always as patient or polite as they could have been. There are no hard feelings about that all. There’s a difference between impatience or pulling someone up when needed, than purposely being cruel to someone. 

Fozzy.        Give him another year

Good luck Max , sorry to see you go, you have been a credit to yourself, your family and DCFC, you will always have a warm welcome at PP

I have to put you right about the cinema. He didn’t lose his job but he had to go back to work despite having problems with his foot. Unfortunately, someone hacked his Facebook and changed his job details from Usher to former Usher. We think it may have been someone he knew for this reason. This really upset him as he was worried about his job at the time. It is partly the reason his posting on here slowed down as he had become worried about people accessing his accounts. I didnt find out about this until after he died. Some people can be very cruel.

Think we will see a fully fit , raring to go CBT next season, he’s certainly got it in his locker and we have seen glimpses of it 

I think that this topic needs to be transferred to the football forum. 
After all, they are both lg1 clubs atm, whereas we're a Championship side.

Hopefully both of them get beat in the playoffs both managers come across as bell ends.

I appreciate what people are saying about keeping him as cover and his playing time being limited, but if Foz stays fit I wouldn’t bet against him being a first choice centre half! The man’s a legend.

Don't know whether people noticed, but when the players walked out onto the pitch with their kids pre-match, Sibley had Fozzy's son with him. Nice touch.
May have been other younger players with similar, but it demonstrates the togetherness in the squad.

I’ve spent this morning looking at all the celebrations of yesterday on the net and have to say am proud of the Rams Family and how you have exuded joy and jubilation. Also the support I’ve been part of at away games this year; it’s been exceptional. Thank you for being great fans. 

I thought this deserved its own thread. 
 
This was announced at half time yesterday to encourage supporters to come and watch our U15’s on Wednesday who play Chelsea in the final of a cup game. 
 
I’ve been told for the last few years that this group of players are a very good group. 
 
It’s free to watch so get down if you can and support the academy. 

Sadly this will be my last match today. My first was in 1956 as a 13year old, My dad used to take me before that but he stopped going when we went down to the third division north. My mate and I would catch the 12 oclock bus from Melbourne and be the first in the ground. We stood in the Normanton end pigeon loft, I think it was 3 shilling. To this day I remember that team. We were champions in 1957 and I ran onto the pitch after the last match against Southport, Ray Straw scored 37 goals that season, The next ten years saw me start work, get married and have two children, I had moved to Derby, and after my family, the Rams were the most important thing in my life I never missed a home game in those ten years even though we were only an average second division side. And then in 1966 after England won the world cup my mate and I decided to have a season ticket, Little did we know what would happen that season, I was at work one day and a Rams supporting work mate told me we had signed a player from Bradford Park Avenue, his name was Kevin Hector I'd never heard of him but he was without doubt the most wonderful footballer to grace the Baseball Ground I had ever seen, and because of this we wanted to see more players like him which led to Tim Ward getting the sack and BC becoming Manager, what followed was ten years of unbelievable success and enjoyment. And then things started to go wrong off and on the pitch and I stopped being a season ticket holder during Peter Taylors time as manager, i still loved The Rams of course and when I turned 65 and retired my old mate from Melbourne and I bought season tickets again. But sadly covid left my best friend of 80 years with a dementia problem and he know no longer knows me. For the last two seasons I have been going alone to the match but its just not the same for me. Therefore I am calling it a day, as I write this I am welling up as I will do this afternoon. Thank you Derby County for every thing I will love you till I die.     

Many congratulations from Pompey. Well deserved.
