This is a very nice thread without piffling rules, regulations or any necessity to be accurate or truthful.
In fact I think this thread should stand for Parliament. I’d vote for it 

Conor did his best and his best was often pretty classy, but essentially playing a 2 in MF did him no favours, indeed, even Bird struggled in a league where you have to have legs in the middle of the park. Irrespective, I think it's telling that the lads themselves made him their skipper and it was noted that he stuck staunchly by the team even when effectively benched late on in the season. No bitching, no ego, just help the team get over the line. I respect that. He's a good egg and has shown himself to be a seriously talented footballer and I wish him well in his future career as a coach. I'd not be at all surprised to see him do rather well.

All the best 'skip'. Difficult to top that season and will be a much revamped midfield next time out and no guarantee of game time. Sometimes it's just time to seek a fresh challenge and the timing feels right. All the very best in whatever you do next.

Somewhere I clocked a picture of him sat taking it in, Bradley was the only player alongside him with an arm on his shoulder.
Expect being good pro’s they both knew at that point, Conor going out on a high as you say, but Bradley sort of saying you did it mate (well I looked at it and that’s how I read it).
He’s a top bloke, even getting the team celebration lined up, shows what he mean’t to the others. He kind of had a Trevor Christie end of career impact on us, for that I wish him nothing but the best in the future; he’s part of our history now, however brief his stay.

Never did anything wrong in my opinion and not his fault our central midfield never looked right when both Bird and Connor played together on their own,Scored some very important goals and good luck for the future. 

I’ll throw another one in from recent times. Not a “greatest moment” but a huge unforgettable emotional upwelling.
That first game when we were emerging from Covid. Masks, hesitancy, showing your NHS vac cert, looking around, sitting in my seat, sun shining players coming out of the tunnel. Out of nowhere I had tears of relief, phew !  The world is getting back to normal, darkness recedes. It was a beautiful day.

Going to the first match after relegation to Lg1 is a most depressing moment to fans of most teams, but for us, it was the joy and relief that we still had a team to support and a hope that we would never take that for granted again. Watching our players come out of the tunnel to start that game was really emotional, realising how close we were to losing it all.

Hard to beat that recently after the trials of administration. But as others mentioned bielik goal after the march and marriott goal at elland road (wasnt there even)
but for pure emotion just walking out into the ground first game after we were rescued from administration has it for me

Derby 4 Ipswich 4, Steve Mac just appointed with a watching brief. We were falling apart so he came down and stuck his oar in.
Turned me from a casual supporter in to a fan. Got that football shiver that I hadn’t had for 25 plus years. …That shiver … I think all of us know it, it doesn’t come every week but when it does, it’s a moment to savour. 
A draw ? A team in the bottom half of the table ? …. Didn’t care, there was something special that night and it made me fall in love with live football all over again. Made me a proper Ram. The best of memories 🐏

As a youngster watching the celebrations at the Council House, and the bus touring down Duffield Road before that. It's faded a bit (or more than a bit!), but still, climbing up a lamp post to get a better view of the players and the trophy, hasn't been beaten. #COYR

Paulo Wanchope receiving the ball in the Derby County half, charging past 4 United players before slotting it in the corner past an amazed and helpless Schmeichel.  Saw it live in a pub full of stunned United fans, I screaming like a demented banshee, oh what a moment, what killer looks I got and how little I cared.

The administration / relegation season:
Bielik against Birmingham, made even sweeter after the poisonous atmosphere from the away end. Tom Lawrence’s goals against Sheff Utd was it. Sibley’s late winner against Peterborough. The win against Fulham. Curtis Davies against Reading. The atmosphere and release when these goals were scored, the togetherness and the sheer us against them attitude with the potential death of the club hanging over us made these game ‘spine-tingling’ for me. 
Got to be worthy of a shout. 

Bryson's third, from the spot in the 5-0 deforestation.  

Idiakez pen for Southampton.
"So so Wembley" as Ross Fletcher described it. Rain pouring down, tension, release, pitch invasion after. Unforgettable.
 

What are your spine-tingling derby moments? The moments where a little tear started to come down from your eyes or a shiver went down your spine? For me there are more than a few. But the most recent one must be the atmosphere before kick off at Pride Park against Carlisle. Not sure I've ever heard the ground this loud and after all the club had been through a couple of years ago it felt like a truly cathartic release of passion, energy and noise.  (youtube video start at just before 4 minutes)
 

Perhaps like Bucko all his possessions fit in a couple of Tesco bags ? 

I think it depends if they actually manage to sell those 10% of shares. Until they find takers at that price it’s a bit like those eBay ads. Lots of things for sale at a price but how many bidders ?

Thread’s fine, just those that don’t maybe use the forum so much will keep coming in thinking or asking if things are credible. In short, if it’s in here, it’s likely nonsense.

How sure and when might we know ?
 
not that bothered, but asking for a friend ( and fibbing through my teeth ) 
Ebouuooo 🐏🐏🐏 😎
 

I'm not sure at all, hence the choice of thread. My lad messaged me, so he'll be getting beats if it's not true.
