Jimbo Ram

Easter Monday 1975. Away to Burnley. For those that were there I need say no more about the significance of the result. A second championship in four years was almost in the bag. 

Gordon mc QUEEN  , Andy KING , Ian BISHOP , Jason KNIGHT  ...... anyone got a  ROOK or CASTLE for me ? 

Glial to KB4?
What planet are neuron?

They're called pawns!
Jeez!   ?

Take it up again!
Keep those little grey cells moving!
 

I learned the rules in 1961 and can count my victories over the years on my fingers!*
*And still not use all eight fingers probably!?

No I think I won, was a county champion you know in the day....

3 April 1971, Derby 3 Huddersfield 2, Hinton 2, Hector.

Was that the game Colly’s leg went at right angles ?

1 April 1975, Derby 2 Manchester City 1, Rioch 2, big win on the way to the title.

Leeds would have taken more...?

Saturday 23rd March 1946
Rams v B'Ham City
FA Cup Semi Final. 
At:  Hillsborough. 
Att:  65,013 
Rams get off to a flyer, with a 4th minute goal from Raich Carter, but Mulraney grabs an equaliser on 59 minutes, and the two teams will need to replay in 4 days time, at Maine Road, Manchester, for a chance to face Charlton in the final, after they beat Bolton 2-0 in their semi final at Villa Park.
 
 

On 21st March 1973 Derby beat Spartak Trnava  2-0, to go through 2-1 on aggregate to reach the semi final of the European Cup.

Rams win more important ?

It's well know that a bed was put in for Sibley, Rooney sent Sibley away to sleep on it.

Gregory had to be in the right place at the right time  
Maybe your Gran was a sprinter 
Sorry she is no longer with us 

Lovely finish from Gregory, my Gran who is no longer with us could have slotted that one home from 2 yards ?

All very nice David but some of those not in the team do not have the requisite talent. Sibley does not fall into that category. We have to approach games in a fashion that gives us a fighting chance of securing a win. If we don't, we'll get more of the first half performance and rather less of the second. 
Rooney has been messing up. The Rooney acolytes who simply refuse to question anything the man does will argue differently, but the results and more tellingly, the performances don't lie. We've been garbage for weeks. Last night his hand was forced as we were lucky not to be 4 or 5 down after only 45 minutes. Halftime subs are a million miles from Wazza's normal tract but his hand was forced, pure and simple. I wouldn't say he got lucky as such because he he eventually made the right calls, but that's as far as it goes. Those implying it's some sort of masterstroke have clearly overlooked the fact that we could have started the 11 that finished the game. Different folks...

He gave a free kick away at Wendies that led to a goal, happens a lot, free kicks sometimes lead to goals. What is his poor disciplinary record exactly?

Since Brum away when he was MOM I think, what opportunity has he had to consistently deliver? He has been consistently on the bench and hardly used. Bizarre argument....

How can he do more if he is not on the pitch. The first time in yonks that he is given more than 10 mins he shows what he can do...
