Great thread, @kash_a_ram_a_ding_dong! It's been interesting to read the comings and goings of 'The best supporters in the world' as @BodminRam says. A little sad to read how a couple of moves have been due to bereavement or family breakups - sending a hug your way. 

 Born in Burton, brought up in Barton-under-Needwood (5 miles south of Burton). My uncle used to take me to the Derby home games during the week in the early 1970's and he made me a little box to stand on so I could see. On the way out he would keep a tight hold of me but we still got parted and I remember that weird sensation of moving forwards in the tightly packed crowd but my feet were not touching the ground. I can still tell you the name of every player at that time (my favourite was John McGovern because the crowd were not always kind to him.) Left school and went to London Uni for 4 years. Loved London, but wouldn't have wanted to stay there. Got a job teaching in Glossop, North Derbyshire. Great place to live. 5 minutes and you are out in the Peak District whereas 20 minutes in the opposite direction and you are in the centre of Manchester. Best of both worlds. Lived in Glossop for about 20 years. Met the love of my life and moved down to Belper. Left teaching after 31 years as a teacher/ deputy head. Worked near Lichfield for 10 years looking after plants in a garden centre but the family owned business was a victim of lockdown and closed completely. I still live in Belper which I love! Go over to Barton 4 days a week to spend time with my wonderful mum who is now 90. Hoping to get to more home games this season! Finis!!?

 

Does Mrs Miggins make good pies?

Jokes aside from other fans... as a collector I can't resist but to ask if you would be willing to part with any of those shirts? Or possibly do a swap/trade? I've sent you a message if you are interested, I've sent my details over. Cheers mate ??

I called it! ? good on you though ?

I think Nixon’s probably making it up as he goes along 

When did he get a job with the EFL? Missed that one.

Subnautica is the pick of the bunch imo, well worth a play.

Dunno if Horizon Zero Dawn is still free, but thats a stunning game if you've not played it yet.

Just want to say… thanks mate ?

horizon is in the top 3 games I’ve ever played and managed to get it for free thanks to your heads up. Currently on 75 hours and over 90% completed.

can’t wait for the second one.

My father was best mates with Colin Boultons dad so as a very young child I went to the games..used to get loads of signed stuff (posters, shirts, boots etc) as well which luckily I still have to this day..that was enough to get me hooked.

Don’t say that… your DM’s will be flooded with @loweman2and @Quangy! 

I was born in Oxford and live in Lincoln now.

my grandad went to a game with his best mate (a massive Derby supporter) in the 60’s and decided to start supporting them, my dad was born and grew up supporting us, I was born and my dad forced me to suffer and I’m going to force my kids too! 

Goes to show how bad we are as a club at the minute when in the last few days the most used transfer thread is about a youth player potentially leaving… it’s just depressing.

Surely rules can't be made up on the hoof. That is just not right. 

The EFL are the adult version of ‘it’s my ball if you want to play…’

Not random enough.

If they’re fat and walking that’s random… aren’t they normally on those scooters? 

Me thinking you drinking dark fruits is the worst thing about you…*
 

you: hold my beer.

*we obviously all know hillsborough is the worst thing. 

NEWSFLASH 

completely incompetent organisation turn out to be incompetent. The EFL will ruin football in this country… it’s only a matter of time.

what will they do when there’s no clubs left apart from Middlesbrough ran by their pet Gibson (who btw is probably even dodgier than Mel!!)

ps. @Daviddon’t ban me please, it’s my birthday this weekend so I’ve had a few bevvies ?

Hear what you're saying but there's times when you can see when an argument is getting personal and spiralling out of control with tit for tat insults and just becomes an unhelpful distraction from the thread itself so quite rightly the mods have deleted it to defuse the situation and get the debate back on track. Not saying yours were deleted for that reason by the way.

I've had this happen to me (I know can never imagine that) but the person then has carried on by DM me with the same stuff.....they've been banned or their account deleted now but it's just a step too far.

By the same point I've had a member whose still very active DM me with personal context about things I've posted, total respect to them, they know who they are.

They probably deleted your posts as they don’t understand the long words ? for the record I actually enjoy your posts more than most, you tend to get a lot of stick but the way you articulate yourself is very readable ?

Your cheque is in the post!

Will it bounce? I miss the bounce.

Been a few times I’ve had posts deleted for (in my opinion) quite rightly calling people out on their nonsense, there’s also been times where I don’t really understand why it’s been deleted. It’s a forum at the end of the day… life moves on!

for the record I think all the mods do a fantastic job!

If we win all our games we will be in the premier league and then the efl can do one

They can do one anyway… absolute joke of an organisation.

Workplace gossiping… a girl at work started talking to me about something earlier and I politely but rather bluntly said I wasn’t interested and didn’t care. She still proceeded to tell me all about it for 10 minutes! 

Hang on a minute… @Bris Vegasis back?! Next it will be @AmericanRam

Except QPR back up that with the offer of a contract to Carroll.

Ok 1 of them… which is there any proof else where? I honestly haven’t looked.

even a broken clock is correct twice a day.

The reason he’s free is because he can’t stick at a club. He’s got a good level of technical ability but for the past 12 years of his life that’s amounted to very little. I find it unlikely we are going to be any different. If given a choice I would veto all the trialist, because they aren’t good enough. I understand that beggars can’t be choosers, but ultimately all of these players wouldn’t be here if they had other championship clubs waiting in the wings for them. For very good reasons, they haven’t and hence will sit and wait for something that may never come. 

Rooney says they have. I can’t think of any reason to think Rooney is lying about that, he seems like a decent guy who wouldn’t lie about anything.

I don't know, but I read the stuff with interviews with his last two managers (inc Wilder) and they were very positive. He's undoubtedly a talent, the preseason has already shown that. We'll need as much creativity as we can get our hands on, and when that has to be free or loan then that limits it. He might no play well but it does sound like personally he's managing to sort himself out.

I’m not denying he’s talented in the slightest but why isn’t he playing for those last two managers? 
 

I know we are shopping in the bargain bin but I just don’t trust him to keep himself committed and available. It would be a massive risk to use one of our available spaces on him IMO.

I'm hearing he's had/having a medical so I would imagine not

Sadly 

The way Rooney was adamant that no players will be sold makes this whole situation 100x worse in my eyes 

Your last post in this thread said was 

‘But one person I have seen is Lee Buchanan having a medical at the Shitty ground’

so did you see it or hear it? ?

Yeah lets sign up some more Anya type players, never a worry about them. ?

Not once have I said anything about Anya? Although I did have a dog called Anya when I was a lad!

his track record is awful (even you can’t argue that?!) and we need stability now more than ever. Do you honestly think Morrison is that guy?

So annoying when this type of thing happens.  Player uses our clubs resources to get fit etc, then goes elsewhere!

I’d take what he says with a lorry load of salt. That being said I hope it’s true. This club is enough of a circus without adding this clown in.
