Elon Musk is really not the kind of person I'd want running DCFC. Where he goes, a circus typically follows. I've had enough of high profile people using our club as a vehicle for their own ends. 

My prediction is they’ve already got a few signings done like last year and they’ll all be announced in a few weeks. If memory serves, that’s what happened in 2023. 

Why couldn't people simply wait until the game was over? We effectively forced the ref to end the game 2 minutes early and were lucky we got away with that and it was declared full time. 
Yes I know that might seem a joyless, boring attitude, but I'd rather not have more points deductions or see players get hurt. 

Looks like he's praying for a new contract offer. His mum will be furious when she finds out he's made a pair of trousers out of her best curtains. 

One thing that consistently irritates me is how little fans talk of Lionel Pickering. Folks often talk about the great Jim Smith years (really our last glorious period) but they would never have happened without Lionel.
We also forget that Pride Park was also Lionel’s dream and vision - and he paid a good chunk of his own money to make it happen. In fact one really has to wonder why it wasn’t and isn’t called the Lionel Pickering Stadium.
Lionel in many ways reminds me of David Clowes albeit the latter is a more business-headed person. Lionel was a lovely man- maybe a bit gullible when he listened to everyone throwing their own advice and opinion in his ear at the pub……but a real Rams man.
Crikey, if there was one person who deserves a statue at Pride Park then it’s him.
(I would also like David Clowes to have the Club build a museum at the ground).

Posted this to his IG along with the highlights clip from the club;
 

There was a bit in the latest We Are Derby episode where he looked to be having a moment sat alone in the changing room. I suspect he knew then that he was going out on a high.
I just wish we would have had him a bit earlier on in his career. Terrific player but his legs have just gone now.

Hope so. Most of his career has been in the Championship so would be good to have him about. He still has plenty to offer imo

I saw on Barkhuizen’s instagram story his wife posted something about the celebrations continuing and that she’s proud of him…new deal? 

It's Mrs P. Ince.

I think Barkhuizen should stay, was looking really good in the 10 role & his pressing was a key part on a frw goals at the time, shame he got an injury.
Some players will suit the Champ more than LG1, I think Barkhuizen is one of them.

He's got an older brother called Marksun, but he's not just any older brother....

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.     

Anyone else notice how much this is playing out like Batman?!.. 
Batman-David Clowes-not the hero we wanted but the hero we needed
Robin-Paul Warne-gimpy sidekick who's clothes are a bit tight but seems to get the job done
2 face-Uncle Mel, lived long enough to become the villain and seemed to flip a coin on the clubs future
The Penguin-Curly Gibson, cos he's a fat little bamford who just needs to eff off

For that haircut, automatic 3 point deduction.

The opportunity to win promotion at Pride Park, in front of a sell out crowd, after what the club has essentially gone through the last four years, is something that could create memories that will last a lifetime.
If, and hopefully when it happens, I'll definitely spare a thought for B4 and others who marched through the city to help keep the club alive but sadly won't be here to see this significant step in our rebuilding process. 

keep an eye out for a bit of history !! im zipping up my boots !!

yeah, they're ugly. weren't great at the time, and without the Errea badge they're even worse - and all I can picture is Ravanelli in them which makes it even worse.

It's gross to think these are classed as retro now 🥺

I enjoyed it. Maybe that's because I've backed him all along so don't feel 'triggered' by it like you clearly are... guilty conscience talking perhaps? I suspect it was in reference to a lot more than just the sending off. I've seen 'fans' write absolute nonsense about him all season, slagging him off whenever the opportunity presents itself. I have zero issue with a player giving it back under those circumstances.
We saw the same with Lawrence previously. Instead of fans getting indignant when it happens, maybe turn the mirror round and have a look at whether some of our own behaviour is causing it to happen eh? 

Not that long ago, Cocu era, when Rooney and king kazim were with us and we had the zebra stripes on the sleeves going into the wierd collar one

They did the photoshoot for the home kit on Friday. My wife has a friend that works at Moor Farm and who let's thing slip occasionally. The club is awaiting the retail stock that they ordered back a couple of months ago.
