  1. Yes it's really galling about the match against Vale. Yes they won on the back of some appalling refereeing decisions. We should have been at least two up at halftime but we weren't. I for one will NOT get on the manager and player's backs at this stage of the season. For Christ's sake give them a chance. They are being asked to play a different way of playing and it will take until at least Christmas to gell perhaps longer. I would love us to be near the play offs then but if not, so what. We STILL have a team to support, our Saturday's are still filled with emotions and we must be thankful to Clowes for that. Give the manager and players all the support we can. I certainly will. Results will come our way. Patience is the key. UTR!

  2. A 'one off' in football whose loyalty and sincerity should be lauded from the rooftops. Yes he may not be the the right man here and now but he will be a success in the future at another club. Thanks to a genuinely nice guy whose stood by his principles and gave our club something to hold onto  when it was needed most. Good luck for the future Liam. I will miss you for sure. If you come back with another team I for one,and hopefully us all will give you a great ovation for what you have done for this great club of ours over the past three years. UTR!

  3. Just got back. First ten minutes thought we should have had at least one goal. Knocking it around nicely. Then squeeky bum time with Wildsmith but they didn't take their chances until early second half. Collins desperately needs to score. Confidence will come through scoring. Once he starts he will bag a load. Their goalie had his lucky pants on which saved an almost certain goal. Last ten minutes absolute mental. Bird then McGoldrick = scenes. Noise at end was phenomenal.  Fair play to Peterborough fans who provided good support. Voice gone and am in process of lubricating vocal chords which may take a time! Onwards and upwards. UTR!

  4. I didn't mean he has achieved God like status now! I like yourself am extremely optomistic about the future in his hands. Kissing his feet is way off what was I originally intended to say! Statue and freedom of the city possible in years to come but come on, kissing his feet! Are you defeatist by any chance?

  5. Cashin stood out like a beacon yesterday. His first half performance alone was worthy of MOTM. I think we are trying to keep him out of the limelight as there are a few weeks to go in the transfer window. We need him here and nowhere else. Wouldn't be suprised though that we get a £20 million offer from United after yesterday's thrashing (Maguire is c***).UTR!

  6. Listened again to his interview. His humility and down to earth approach comes over in bucketloads.! I think his tenure will far exceed our expectations. If the team on the pitch can replicate the confidence he exudes we are in for a great few seasons. I don't think he will be around for the long term (he will want to go back to sitting in the North stand) but he will hand over the reins to someone who he believes will have the best intentions of this club. Really excited about this season especially . Expect some ups and downs but we will be there or thereabouts at the end. Thank you again Mr Clowes for putting your money into an iconic club with fantastic and loyal fans.I hope you will enjoy this and a few more seasons at the helm. UTR!

  7. Couldn't sleep much last night (also due to 4 pints and a weak bladder). Today's the day. Forget the heartache we have had to endure over the last few months. Football is back. We have a team to support, and what support we have. Other teams fans will be looking at our attendance and thinking 'What the fooook!' Proud to be a Ram today,tomorrow,always! UTR!

  8. Only one sleep before it starts. Like a kid at Christmas I can't wait. The walk to the ground after a couple of shandies,the smell of the burger vans,the mingling of the crowd,the buzz of excitement. Walking through the turnstiles,up the stairs,the loud hum getting louder, up more steps and you are there. The noise of the crowd getting louder through the music, the expectation of what the season holds. The 'We are Derby' poem belted out, the roar when the teams come out. This is football. This is what I love. The season starts tomorrow at 3pm. I CANNOT WAIT! UTR!

  9. First 12 matches should enable players to bed in and get to know the systems Liam requires. It will also be a useful marker as to how teams will be set up against us,especially in PP. I would love us to be near the top all season but I have to be a bit more realistic. My heart says top 2,my head says around the play-offs. It also depends on whether we are lucky,or unlucky with injuries. Still, we have a team to support so I am extremely grateful for that. UTR!

  10. Picking my ST up this safto. Bus pass arrived a couple of days ago! Can't wait for Saturday. An old git still acting like a 20 yr old. Told missus that I won't be speaking to her Saturday evening as won't have a voice left after the match. Come on fellow rams lets get PP rocking again. Hope that poet will be there before the match. He certainly stirs me up. UTR!

    Cashin for me. If he keeps maturing,especially playing with Davies and other older heads we have just signed, I predict he will go all the way and playing for England is not out of the question. UTR!

    Dooooooh!!! Make that Ireland!!?

  12. After yesterday's high I decided to have a couple of sherbets and have a banging head this morning. For some reason I started looking at the alphabet (as you do when you are drunk) and thought about today's headlines about us stated in alphabetical order. I come up with this so far but went to bed before it was finished. Feel free to do you own:
