Exactly the reason us locals want them at home! (And the risk of covid, @Foreveram) 😉

Doncaster or Bradford, please, preferably at home.

He's entertaining, isn't he? Every time he gets the ball, you can hear the buzz from the crowd, same with Mendez-Laing. Every club needs these sort of players, and they thrive on the encouragement.

No, camera on the West Stand where it usually is so there was nothing our side to pick up the atmosphere. I knew there would be people on here moaning about it from the comfort of their armchairs and I was right. But having read the rest of the matchday thread I couldn't even be bothered to add any thoughts on the game, which I was at and enjoyed. It's getting harder to make any effort to post given the relentless chugging away of some. It's like feeding trolls.

If you do, there's probably about 1,000 of us would qualify!

Rams 3 - 2 Fleetwood FRGS Waghorn

Mmm, there's been a couple of our players I'd like the manager to have mislaid a few times over the years but Cashin definitely isn't one of them!

The thing that irks me about this is you could understand it if he was poor and couldn't afford parking charges but why on earth would he do it? Idle? Thick? Because he thinks he can? Reminds me of that girl who's just been fined a shedload of money for fare dodging on East Midlands trains and then filming herself in tiktok videos telling others how to do it. Just why?

I remember talking to Cashin and his family about this when he had recently broke through to the first team - and was playing very well at the time - but he still didn't quite feel he belonged there yet. He is a natural leader yet the doubts remained. They are all young lads, and even the gnarled older professionals guiding them are little more than kids themselves! 😉

We still get that at away games. It seems sexism isn't on the list of unacceptable behaviours yet.

I recall swearing on the terraces and a lot of aggressive behaviour towards opposition fans but none of the chants I recall contained references to players' anatomies! It all seems to have gone a bit puerile and I most dislike the aggressive behaviour of Derby fans to other Derby fans. Of course, there was racist and homophobic chanting back then, too. Nowadays these are rightly totally unacceptable but there are less ways to challenge the other unacceptable behaviour as it is happening. A clip round the ear, your arm up your back, being dragged out by your collar and a night in the cells maybe taught a few swift sharp lessons to those who went too far. Nowadays the stewards stand back an film you and you might just hear something weeks later if they can work out who you are!

Pinched this one off Facebook for you, @Inverurie Ram!

I don't mind if people don't want to attend this competition but I wish they'd respect the feelings of those of us that do a bit more.

I was trying to work out who was missing. Thanks, GOC.

If they are selfish, they do that now! Can't see that ever changing.

We were there! As soon as the covers came off the pitch was freezing solid. A bit foggy and minus 4 degrees. Right decision, a bit late.

Are they now? The SCG met with Liverpool before our game last year and they told us that although the rails were all in place, that the licence hadn't yet been granted so technically they were still a seated stadium. That was a whole season ago, though, so it could have come through since.

What a plonker!

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.

Notts County won 5-0 in a friendly at Ofton tonight. Langstaff with a first half hat-trick.

Wasted in Sheffield United's under 21 squad.
