Thanks for the links, Rich @Ken Tram

Phil or Paul but I don't know their usernames, sorry.

You need to ask one of the heritage guys - they're likely to have it tucked away somewhere.

The telling thing for me is when one of the current players said that apart from a one-night Christmas party, that the trip to Vegas is the first time the players have really socialised together all season because they have all been focused on getting promotion. That certainly wasn't the case in the Keogh era, and it certainly was him at the centre of some of the in-season does, leading the singing and sounding absolutely the worse for wear. (Some of the WAGS are a bit indiscreet when it comes to sharing things on their insta pages.) You can think what you want, @G STAR RAM, but I know what I've seen and also heard.

I thought it was Barks too!

Great analysis, Dimmu.

Assuming that's the whole gang, I'm interested in who is, and isn't, on holiday. Ward and Rooney probably have to stay back for treatment (is Rooney even old enough?) Robinson definitely isn't. Pretty much the whole first team regulars are there, apart from that. Wildsmith the obvious omission. Fornah we know, keeps himself apart. Also missing are Washington, Fozzy, Waghorn, Gayle, TJJ, anyone else? I love that Adams is there, even though he's a loan player. He's a Ram, for sure.

Confirmed from those who are/were in and around players pre and post-match at that time, there was a definite in-crowd, with a cruel streak towards those who didn't "fit". Most thought it was Keogh's way, or the highway. Improvement in team morale and togetherness was apparent after he left, although some of this grew out of the tough times we found ourselves in by then.

No. Louie Sibley is a better left back than Buchanan and he isn't even a left back!

Ipswich got a trophy for finishing second - did they buy it themselves? 😉😂

CBT wearing the same necklace (two of them, in fact.)

I said foul. He said not. 😂

Foul or not? We are 50-50 in our house.

Did they? Serves me right for believing what I read on X!

Barnsley. 🙈

Yep, Barnsley fans thought the Bolton fans gave them an unfair advantage last year, lot of pressure on Club to keep numbers down. Punishes fans of both teams and it hasn't worked, Bolton still outsinging Barnsley!

Would re-subscribe if the prices were more reasonable, but I don't like how they hook you in on a cheap deal and then double or triple it without telling you. There's such a lot of good free content out there, I think they rather over-value their product.

Yes, I'm pleased to say that I didn't buy any of the 26,053!

Have you had a personalised email from the Club telling you how many minutes of football you've watched, and various other stats from home and away? It's a brilliant touch, and a reward for those fans who put in some hard miles. I won't spoil it for anyone, but read right through to the end! Here's a snippet from mine. Not bad for saying I cracked an ankle bone and was in a brace for several weeks mid-season. I'm bet @Foreveram has a better one though.

Here is the post. As @jono said, I won't be wishing him well because he's diminished in my eyes, but won't be giving him abuse, either. He made his choices and has to live with them.

All the fainthearted went home! Those of us that stayed were rewarded with a great moment.

B4 is ours, and we will always hold him close to our hearts. But when you see the sheer numbers of names on the Rams remembered tribute at Pride Park twice a season, you see the scope of Derby County fans who die each season. They are each and every one of them someone else's B4.

You've got to ask yourself why Paul Warne and his team came to Derby, when he could have probably stayed at Rotherham, kept them up a season, probably come back down second season, re-grouped and gone up again. A job for life. Safe and steady. Him and his team came because they have ambition. They want to have a go at taking a club further than they'll ever take Rotherham. It was a calculated risk, hence negotiating a four year deal. They've delivered the first part of their plan and will be determined to deliver more. I think that's why his response to promotion has been muted, to say the least. He's partway through the job and I don't think he's expecting an extension. But he and his team have shown good learning over the course of the season. Let's see how they do in the Championship first. I think they've earned at least another season.
