Oh my goodness, what a response!
Hello everyone, I’m Claire, Daniel’s (B4) sister. I am overwhelmed by your kind words, support, and the memories you have shared.  Thank you so much for the kindness and love you have all shown to Daniel over the years. My parents are working their way through all of the posts and will offer their own thanks in due course.
I wish I knew about the scraves, flanges and ballions before now. I wouldn’t have let Daniel live that down at home. This made my husband and I laugh this morning.
I will be wearing Daniel’s shirt and keeping his seat warm at the Bristol match. Really looking forward to hearing a big cheer and round of applause in the 38th minute, a goal at the time would be perfect!  Do please continue to share the picture with details of the applause. Let’s raise the roof for Daniel!!!
Thank you all again ❤️

Such sad news. Only 'knew' him through here, but what an impression he made on so many people. Surely the measure of the man. Thoughts are with his nearest and dearest. RIP B4.

Just a couple of things to keep B4 in our memories on DCFC Fans.
First is the topic title following the news of David Clowes takeover.
With so many sayings, it was difficult to choose from, however this and the post itself means so much more. Especially the line about his Mum, football was not just a game to B4, it was life and death.

 
 
@Mucker1884's words were utterly brilliant and a fitting tribute. They have been published on their own page which will always remain on the main menu.

Needless to say, this topic will also remain pinned for the lifetime of this forum.
@B4ev6is  you are a DCFC Fans legend that will never be forgotten. x

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.
 

Apparently, we didn't sell any players in j aNUryyy T O Pay CredidORs . Well no,  we had to sell  Williams, Kellyman, Plange, Jozwiak and Shinnie and write off millions in sell on fees for young players we'd previously sold to Man City and Liverpool ,to pay wages to continue trading and fulfil fixtures.   We also had to let Jagielka go as we weren't allowed to renew for 4 months.  With those options we stay up.  Lets no forget the millions lost on young players who've gone on frees who we could only offer one year deals to pre admin as well and the fact we couldn't give Marriott his one year option. We did turn down a massive 150k offer from Millwall for Sibley.  Sorry if that upsets you ya knobbers.

Hi guys!! I just want to thank you for your welcoming in representation of all Galician Rams. We had such a nice and funny time.
Pride Park is even more impressive than we thought watching from TV, and  the team was a 10 the other day. Also, every person that we met before, during and after the game was extremely nice, and we loved not only the team, but the city as well.
I'm sure that we'll be back as soon as we can.  We had already been Derby fans for a few years, but after this experience we are Rams for life.
You people are world class. GO RAMS!!

It'll be (vaguely) interesting to know whether these are the same charges that UEFA charged them on, banned them from European competition for a couple of years (never enacted) which was then overturned in CAS. Or something new.
My guess would be that they're broadly the same and that the outcome, nothing, will be the same with lawyers the only winners
Interesting that Chelsea found an amortisation loophole that UEFA closed down with no retrospective action.  Pity the EFL didn't treat us with the same level of fairness

9.9 Million? ?

Max Bird has hailed Paul Warne's impact on Derby County's squad and says the Rams head coach is making them "fearless".
"We are a close group," he said. "All the senior lads get on with the younger lads and vice versa. There is a lot of banter flying about as there often is when you are on a bit of a roll. I am really enjoying it and the team is looking good. 
The manager is very good. He's funny and I can't repeat what he said to me on the pitch at the end of the Barnsley game. It's all good. He's giving us the confidence to play, he's making us fearless and our reactions on the pitch are brilliant in terms of if somebody loses the ball, there is no moaning and everybody is after it.
We are a team, we are together and it makes you want to run through a brick wall for him because he is giving us that freedom and confidence to express ourselves. At the end of the day that's why we are on a bit of a run because he is letting us play football like we are 12 years old."

What, around Soho with a Spice Girl?

The Barnsley body language is awful. They know they have been utterly outclassed and can't wait for the game to finish. A really dominant performance that reeks of automatic promotion if we can maintain this level. Importantly achieved without McGoldrick pulling the strings.

You know what ? I don’t think he’s an enigma. I think he’s a young developing player with significant potential. He has produced some magic moments and played some very average games. Isn’t that par for the course ? I also think he’s a good instinctive footballer and his best position isn’t necessarily set in stone at the moment. Let’s just see how it goes. 

Any rational observer (do we have any?) has got to be happy with that haven’t they?  

Simply on the basis of the reaction on here I think we will win this.

I agree it would be pretty weird to be against the NSPCC but for the record I hate kids.

Fantastic assist by Derbados ?

That comment aged well….. 

That's Magic Man. 

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH
DOBBERS!!!!!!!!!
 

Really pleased for Liam Thompson. He’s taken some stick after showing some promising glimpses. That was a really calm & well-executed finish.
