    Ziga Zaga10 reacted to Ellafella in Arthur Cox (no, he's not dead!)   
    I can confirm that; I've had the pleasure of speaking with him at The Old Vicarage too. He is a really great old-school gentleman who refused politely to tell me anything "juicy" about eg Maxwell although he did tell me some very funny anecdotes involving helicopters with Maxwell's leg hanging out. Arthur really is a diamond gentleman. It's time Rams TV caught up with him. Can anybody @Owen87ITK make that happen. I think Arthur generally ticks the "No publicity" box but surely we need to pour some love on him for what he did?

    1968 Derby  v Chelsea league cup replay. Went a goal down then scored three in the second half to win. 30 odd thousand in the BBG sounded more like. 90 thousand. Never heard Rams fans louder, before or since. This was the start of the glory years.

    Derby 4 Real Madrid 1
    Big wins against Liverpool, Arsenal 4 and 5 nil
    FA Cup replay Spurs 3 Derby 5. Then there's League games against Spurs too where we scored a 5, a 6 and an 8.
    Watney Cup Final against ManU, we won 4-1.
    FA Charity Shield v West Ham at Wembley in 1975. 2-0 goals by Roy Mac and Zak
    One classic where, although highlights were shown on BBC, I don't think there's footage online anywhere, is Derby 0 Leeds 0, early 70s midweek game under the lights at the BBG. No goals but what an absolute cracker of a game. Both keepers were excellent on the day and it could easily have been 8-8. My Dad didn't want to watch the highlights as 0-0 is always a crap, boring game. I persuade him to watch and he was glad he did.

    Just what you need on a Saturday, NML and Didzy getting balls deep after a win.

    Weds will want to go into the playoffs with momentum so expect them to be full throttle. What they won't do though is risk injuries of key players, that would be silly.

    Ziga Zaga10 reacted to Ram@Lincoln in Bielik at Brum   
    Since his first loan to Birmingham in 2016/17 season, he's had 256 possible club games, he's played in 110 of them, he joined them in the January 2017. He even went to Walsall on loan the following season and never played due to injury.
    If we compare his history versus Louis Sibley, who's been a bit part player in the most - he made his goal scoring debut just before the covid lockdown in March 2020 and has since made 103 appearances for us. Sibley has 3 years on Bielik in senior football and is only 7 games behind him in appearances.
    Bielik has a long history of being injured - this is a major problem for him long term and for us short term. It's a recurring knee and hamstring problem. It's all about the capital risk to the buying club, Bielik on a free transfer and small wages is a small risk, whereas paying £20m and putting him on large wages is a massive risk. Watch this video of Gary Lewin (one of the most respected and experienced physios in world football) explaining player medicals and transfer risks to Ben Foster on his podcast.  https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=2945435152424784
    You need to get out of whatever fairytale land you live in and be realistic. He's a crock, always has been and always will be. We were burnt massively as part of Mel's trainset and are trying to anything we can from the wreckage. Beggars can't be choosers, we'll get what we're given and it won't be £20m.

    Ziga Zaga10 reacted to ThePrisoner in Bielik at Brum   
    The only way we'll get 20m is if Bielik is the only player on the pitch for Poland and beats the Argentinian squad 3-0. Even then it's pushing it.

    Feel like Ed Dawes made his mind up about this style of play years ago. No patience for it and expects us to be nothing but world class at it.
    Breeds such unnecessary negativity when it’s overly pointed out again and again.

    Seemingly inevitable for weeks now.
    I've been saying for ages I wouldn't blame him, and, I don't.
    I wish him all the best going forward and thank him for his efforts.
    I suspect his mind has been made up for a while but he didn't want to announce it until the club was safe, as it seemingly is going to be now.
    Goodbye Wayne, I don't think it's panned out the way either of us wanted, but you have my respect and admiration for the way you've led us over the last 12 months.

    My favourite thing about that EFL statement is how they completely skate over the fact they also approved the CK deal and did their own due diligence.
    Cracking job fellas!
