ramit

Good luck for this afternoon, I hope you get it over the line for a number of reasons, and the odds are in your favour.
I hope you don't mind an outsider saying this, and I'm sure you all know this, but regardless of any euphoria or disappointment tomorrow, you'll all still be proud supporters - as b4 was, and is. As someone who read on here for a while before I registered/posted and saw lots of his comments when you were in a bad place;  I stand by the fact that whoever we support, we could all do well by being a bit more like him, when it comes to our clubs.

One of my top three films ever. If you ain’t seen it watch it. The mighty Bob Hoskins. 
Oh yeah sorry well it’s Saturday now and I’m waiting for my taxi finishing work. Feeling calmer than I have done all week. This is the day 

This is the evening before the great day, enjoy it, savour it, mark it
Look forward to tomorrow and sleep easy

Mrs. ramit and I just finished Ripley on Netflix. 
I appreciate that it is not for everyone, the slow pace is however intentional, it is a psychological attack on the viewer, who finds him or herself asking, why am I rooting for this psycho at the same time that I want him punished?  If that was the point of the books, then well done production crew, director, camera operators, set designers and actors, we were indeed left asking questions of ourselves.

Cash is worth another zero on that price 

He would be adamant (not the Prince Charming version) that the Rams are going up. He wouldn’t hear anything to the contrary. He would also look like the a DCFC Michelin man with numerous layers of scraves and flanges. I will be taking one of his scraves with me tomorrow. 
Typing this has made me a bit sad. I would often buy Dan DCFC hats, scraves, hoodies etc for Christmas so he would be warm at matches. His favourite hat I gave him had a leather DCFC badge on the front. My dad told me he couldn’t find it before a match one day and was so upset he thought he had lost. It turned up at home a couple of days later. These memories tug at the heart strings. 
 

Well, I'm sure I'd feel much worse if I weren't under such heavy sedation.

Not long now, a few red wines this evening to calm the nerves, now in bed chilling.waiting for the game, can not wait, in the Merlin for 9.45, a few beers to settle the nerves a english breakfast, then off to PP, to get behind the lads and push them over the line , I have a good feeling we will all be bouncing come 5PM tomorrow evening. Once A Ram Always A Ram.

T'was the night before Ramsmas and all was quiet in the house,
Not a grumble was mumbled, not even from @Millenniumram
But then on the forum there arose such a drama,
To run on the pitch and behave like a farmer,
Or stay in the stands politely applauding,
Cashin's finess and Mendiz' maraurding,
The bobble hat's triumph,
the right side of the hoardings.

Same here and I don't even smoke!

Exactly the same. 
Sheffield born and bred. Love Sheffield and a big supporter of Yorkshire cricket.
I was only 9 and was to drawn to the larger than life character of Brian Clough.
I was a Wednesday fan until 1969 when the Owls were relegated from the old first division.
Derby finished 4th that season. I have supported the Rams ever since then. 55 years later and a couple of League titles was one of my better decisions.
I feel bad to admit during the seventies we lost a League cup tie at Southampton 5-0 and I decided to support Liverpool.
That lasted 3 days until I realised I was a Ram for evermore.

Clough is why I became a Derby County fan.  I was only 9 but knew he was my kind of mad genius.
Really enjoyed that, thanks Comrade

It's a fine line between genius and craziness that genius sometimes crosses I guess.

He'd always watch both his Sons Simon and Nigel play for A C Hunters in the Derby Sunday City league and they'd play in Forest kits which was a red rag to some teams...any road.
One of those teams was Coronation 81 who could mix it with the best of em, They'd normally kick A C Hunters to bits and BC would watch with no complaints, One of 81s players went down with knee trouble...ambulance called and off to hospital, BC asked through A C Hunters to find out how the player was, Once out of Hospital and out of plaster BC invites the player for rehabilitation at Forest, Player took him up on the invite and it was very much appreciated.
When Hunters played 81 again... there was never any trouble...on or off the field...clever bloke was our BC 👌  

From the BBC:
Taming the Crazy Gang, a blank contract & David Currie - the legend of Clough
 
Goalkeeper Mark Crossley spent most of his career at Nottingham Forest after making his debut in 1989 - and that meant he got a front row seat in the world of Brian Clough.
The double European Cup-winning manager, one of the great characters in the history of the English game, was Crossley's boss for the first four seasons of his career.
He recounted some of his favourite tales from those years on the Sacked in the Morning podcast.

I was tempted to wager £100 pounds on Bolton getting the automatic promotion slot at the odds of of 100-1, but I've resisted temptation. I'd rather Derby were promoted than have ten thousand pounds in my bank account. That's the heart ruling the head.

I must be easily pleased, as I'll be celebrating like a mad thing if we clinch promotion on Saturday and right now I couldn't care less about Premier League football.
